NASCAR Head 2 Head: Chase Elliott vs. Ryan Blaney
By Mike Hutton
The Winner: Chase Elliott
Every driver enters each season with a goal of first getting into the Chase and then competing for the Championship. If your goals are anything less, you might want to re-evaluate what you’re doing here. Beginning with the season’s opening race, Chase Elliott and the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports team have remained focused on those very two objectives.
Due to his higher averages in starting position, finishing position, season-to-date driver ranking and best finish, Elliott has established himself as the winner of BeyondTheFlag.com’s inaugural HTH weekly winner. Although not guaranteed, he is in the Chase as of now, while Blaney still has significant ground to make up. Both drivers should be congratulated on outstanding rookie seasons, and it is clear that NASCAR’s future is bright with these two future stars in the mix.
