The sport’s reigning Most Popular Driver, Chase Elliott, earned his first NASCAR All-Star Race win Wednesday night at Bristol Motor Speedway — holding off reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch in the closing laps.
Elliott led 60 of the 140 laps en route to the $1 million paycheck. He and his father, Bill Elliott, join the father-son combination of Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr. to have won the sport’s midseason All-Star exhibition. Interestingly, Bill won the race when it was held in Atlanta and Chase’s victory was in Bristol, Tennessee — those are the only two times the event took place at a track other than Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Chase Elliott’s No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet took a convincing lead at times in the second half of the 140-lap event, but he ultimately had to hold off a hard-charging Busch, who is still looking to hoist his first race trophy of the 2020 season. The winning difference between them was a mere .418 seconds.
The season’s driver standings leader, Kevin Harvick, finished third, followed by Team Penske’s Brad Keselowski and 2020 Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin. Ryan Blaney, who led a race-high 72 laps, finished sixth. Joey Logano, Alex Bowman, Aric Almirola and Martin Truex Jr. rounded out the top 10 in order.
Elliott’s win was hugely popular even to the limited number of fans who were allowed to attend the race in person, and they celebrated by showering the 24-year-old with cheers.
“Oh my gosh, there’s no feeling like it, nothing like it,” a smiling Elliott said after climbing of his Chevrolet. “Bristol is an electric atmosphere unlike any place we go to. We’re going to celebrate this one for sure.
“There’s nothing like Bristol. There’s nothing like the lights here. There’s nothing like racing here. I’ve never won here — what a race to do it. Just really proud of our team tonight and rebounding. … All those No. 9 hats and T-shirts up in the stands — love to see it.”
NASCAR tried a couple innovative and seemingly well-received ideas at the non-points race, including fitting the cars with lights that provided an underglow and also a new format for restarts that allowed drivers to pick whichever lane they preferred — outside or inside.
llwin mình mới ghé thử vì thấy bạn bè nhắc hoài, kiểu vào xem giao diện với cách họ trình bày thông tin thôi. Cảm giác đầu tiên là trang khá dễ thở, không bị nhồi chữ, lướt xuống là thấy từng khối nội dung tách bạch nên đỡ phải mò. Mình có đọc lướt phần giới thiệu, thấy họ nói nền tảng xuất hiện từ 2015 và có nhắc chuyện bảo mật nâng cấp liên tục, nghe cũng ổn áp hơn chút dù mình không tìm hiểu sâu. Thanh menu đặt ngay ngắn, bấm qua lại mượt, không bị giật lag kiểu mấy trang rối rắm. Nói chung nhìn vào là biết đang ở mục nào vì các tiêu…
Chase Elliott’s 2020 All-Star Race victory at Bristol was a standout achievement, with 60 laps led and a close finish against Kyle Busch.
It’s interesting how major events build memorable fan experiences, much like exploring local food choices such as Harvey Menu Canada when enjoying a day out.
Joining his father Bill Elliott among the father-son All-Star winners made Chase’s achievement even more special and memorable.
Chase Elliott’s 2020 All-Star Race victory at Bristol was a notable milestone, as he held off Kyle Busch and joined an elite father-son group of All-Star winners.
The excitement of a major win also reminds me how fans often celebrate events around shared interests, from motorsports to Harvey Menu Canada when exploring food options.
It was a memorable Bristol night for Elliott, especially with his father Bill having previously won the same exhibition event at Atlanta.
QS88 mình thấy mấy hôm nay được nhắc hoài nên cũng bấm vào xem thử cho biết. Không phải kiểu vào để chơi hay đọc kỹ gì đâu, mình chỉ lướt nhanh xem trang họ làm giao diện ra sao. Cảm giác đầu tiên là nhìn khá “thoáng”, chữ không dồn dập nên kéo xuống không bị mệt mắt. Mình để ý họ chia nội dung theo từng khung riêng, kiểu mỗi phần nằm gọn trong một block nên nhìn phát biết đang ở mục nào. Cái mình thích nữa là phần thông tin trình bày dạng cột bảng khá gọn, không bắt phải đọc nguyên một đoạn dài mới hiểu. Menu cũng nằm chỗ dễ thấy nên bấm qua…
Congratulations to Chase Elliott on an exciting All-Star Race victory at Bristol! The article was a great recap of such a memorable race. I also enjoy checking menus before trying new drinks, and the 7 Brew menu is a useful guide for exploring different drinks and flavors.
