Chase Elliott wins Bristol All-Star Race

If the All-Star Race does not offer any points in the race to qualify for the Chase in Nascar Cup Series, the financial reward of 1 dollars remains a more than appreciable prize for the competitors admitted to participate in the event.

Relocated this year to Bristol (Tennessee) after several years in Charlotte (North Carolina), due to the coronavirus pandemic, this non-championship event smiled on Chase Elliott (Hendrick Motorsports – Chevrolet) last night.

Ce dernier a apposé son nom pour la première fois au palmarès de cette course toujours très particulière, en dominant en fin d’épreuve le champion Nascar 2019 Kyle Busch (Joe Gibbs Racing – Toyota), qui n’a pu combler l’intégralité de l’écart construit par Elliott dans la deuxième partie des 140 tours au programme.

Kevin Harvick (Stewart-Haas Racing – Ford), Brad Keselowski (Team Penske – Ford) and Denny Hamlin (Joe Gibbs Racing) complete the final top 5. Note that Chase Elliott thus joins his father Bill in the history of Nascar, also winner of the All-Star Race in 1986. A family feat also achieved by Dale Earnhardt father and son.

The regular season will resume this weekend for the Texas round.
