The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Dover Speedway this weekend for the DuraMAX Drydene 400, and it seems the Hendrick Motorsports team is poised to make a run for winners’ circle once more.
Hendrick’s Alex Bowman, Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott all dazzled on Dover’s track last year. Bowman won last year’s iteration of the Drydene 400, while Larson and Elliott finished second and third, respectively.
Elliott in particular is one to look out for on Sunday. The 26-year-old has shot out of the Cup Series like a cannon, entering Sunday’s race with the most points in the competition. And although he hasn’t won a race yet this season, Elliott’s performances have been marked by their remarkable consistency; Elliott hasn’t suffered a DNF this year and has seven top-10 finishes.
