Chase Elliott takes victory in Texas around the Texas Motor Speedway in the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 in the #9 car run by the Hendric💃k Motorsports team.

This is Elliott’s first win of the season in the 🔥ninth race of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Champi꧋onship.

The race in Texas turned into a race attrition in the second and third stage with 16 caut🃏ions b𒁃eing thrown across the 267 laps.

Brad Keselowski and William Byron finished in second and third place after the 267 laps. Rounding out the top five was Tyler Reddick and Da𝐆niel Suarez.

The rest of the top ten finis💟hers 🧜were Chase Briscoe, Austin Dillon, Bubba Wallace, Kyle Busch, and Carson Hocevar. Championship leader Kyle Larson ended up in 20th place.

Larson has secured pole position for three consecutive races and has e🐓xcelled in stage one this season.

During the first round of pit stops under the green flag, the Joe Gibbs cars encountered several issues. Both the #🌳54 car driven by Ty Gibb💦s and the #19 car driven by Martin Truex Jr had to pit twice within the first 80 laps due to mistakes made by their respective pit crews.

During the second stage of the race, on lap 101, Christopher Bell spun out, but fortunately, he managed to regain control of his car. However, further down the field on the same lap, Alex Bowman, and John Hunter Nemechek collided and ended up spinning on the grass along the front straight. Bowman was forced to retire🎶 from the race and entered the garage after the collision.

Carson Hoce🍸var bought out the third caution of the day on lap 114 as the rookie spun around shortly after the track had just returned to green flag conditions.

While the race was under its third caution, the Championship leader, Larson, reported a flat tyre. However, the whole rear right tyre ended up coming off the car. Larson had to return to the pit lane to get a new set of tyres and fuel. Unfortunately, he was also given a two-lap penalty for the mechanica♕l issue.

After starting from pole position, ཧLarson led for 67 laps during Stage One and took victory in the sta⭕ge.

Ryan Blaney started the second stage in the lead in his #12 Ford. However, he didn't stop during thꩲe caution period at the end of the first series. There were five cautions during the second stage, and Ross Chastain emerged victorious in the end after completing 165 laps out of the total 267.
