CONCORD, N.C. — After finishing third in the final stage of the Monster Energy Open Saturday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Chase Elliott has won the fan vote to earn the final spot in the Monster Energy All-Star Race.
After starting on pole, Clint Bowyer led every lap and cruised to a 3.653-second victory over Ryan Blaney to lock himself into the main event.
But Blaney got his chance in the second stage, beating Chase Elliott by 0.203 seconds to claim the second spot for the race.
Following an incredible battle between Elliott, Daniel Suarez and Erik Jones in the final stage, Suarez took the victory to make the all-star field.
