NASCAR: Five Drivers Who Wont Last Long In The Chase

Chase Elliott

While many are probably wondering why he is the top choice on this list, especially since he is only a rookie and has yet to win a race yet this year, its honestly heartbreaking to see a top chase contender struggle so much after having so many great runs earlier this season. Sure, Elliott made the Chase, but it doesn’t seem like he’s going to be able to do much with it.

In fact, Elliott’s recent string of eight straight finishes outside the top-ten and multitude of rookie mistakes are more than enough to ensure that Elliott may not even make it out of the first round of the Chase. Not all the blame rests on Elliott however as he has been known to accidentally get caught up in someone else’s mess, but it only really takes one strike to knock you out of contention.

With that being said, there is also a chance that Elliott can learn from his mistakes and turn things around in time for the ten race chase later this season. While Elliott does have his string of bad finishes to overcome, his top-ten finishes at a multitude of tracks that will be  featured in the chase might just be enough to give him an advantage this postseason.

What do you think? Do you think these drivers are prepared for the Chase, or are they sititng ducks that will be eliminated soon enough. Let us know in the comments below!
