Chase said, “Most disappointed probably in myself at the racetrack was when I threw away a win at Dover. A handful of years ago raced against Kyle there for the win, and just did a terrible job. You know, pissed away a huge lead in traffic, and chose the wrong lane didn’t put up hardly any fight, at all, so probably the most disappointed I’ve been.”

Surely, Elliott seems to have learned from his past as he defended against Kyle Larson time and time again after the race.
