Chase Elliott’s season with the Next-Gen cars has been nothing short of being wonderful. However, the Dawsonville native is not happy with the consistency surrounding the latest generation of vehicles and recently mentioned how he would like to work towards it in his quest to fight for his 2nd Cup Series Championship.

“You know personally speaking, from our team side we wanna do better each and every week. Not be as hit or miss as we’ve been. I think that’s where our heads are right now just trying to make that a little better.”
He concluded by stating, “I think we are super capable, I feel like we just gotta get going at the right times, at some of these tracks. Look, we got some three really big weeks we got ahead, and you know some major opportunity out there hanging for the taking.”
