Fifth top-five in last six races Elliott finished third in Sunday's AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway.
Impact Elliott had a front row seat for the closest finish in NASCAR history (0.001 seconds) as teammate Kyle Larson barely edged out Chris Buescher for the win. Elliott had to think for a moment he might have a chance at his second win of 2024 when the front two drivers were way up the track in the final turn. Elliott was coming with a head of steam, but he also had Martin Truex Jr. on his outside coming off of turn four. Elliott was able to edge Truex back to the line and earn his fifth top-five finish in the last six races. Elliott has not been dominating races as he has done in seasons prior, but that team knows how to be there at the end of races and give themselves a chance. Darlington is up next and the No. 9 team always seems to have good pace there.
