Elliott takes Talladega, gives Chevy 1st win
TALLADEGA, Ala. -- Chase Elliott has won the Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway, giving Chevrolet its first victory of the season.
Elliott took the lead shortly after a restart with four laps to go and worked with three other Chevy drivers to hold off the rest of the field. He won for the first time since October and went to victory lane about 100 miles from his hometown.
Hendrick Motorsports teammate Alex Bowman finished second, followed by rookies Ryan Preece and Daniel Hemric.
"What a day," Elliott said.
Elliott is the sixth different driver to win through 10 races this season and locked up a playoff spot.
