Chase Elliott celebrates in victory lane after winning the NASCAR Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway victory lane in July 2022.

HAMPTON — While several drivers head into Sunday night’s regular season finale hoping to secure their place in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs, Dawsonville’s Chase Elliott knows he’ll have a shot at a second NCS title this fall.

A victory at Texas Motor Speedway in April locked Elliott and the No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet team into NASCAR’s postseason, ushering the 2020 champion’s return to the playoffs after missing the cut last year.
