Chase Elliott on Martinsville Pressure
Chase Elliott is under pressure heading into the 2025 Xfinity 500 at Martinsville, sitting last among the Round of 8 contenders and 62 points below the cutline for the Championship 4.
Elliott will start eighth on Sunday, but has shown speed, topping the practice charts on Saturday with a lap of 95.796 mph, just edging out Denny Hamlin’s 95.791.
I mean, the goal is to be fast enough where you don’t have to do wild stuff. I mean that, that’s the goal every week, right? Like you don’t ever want to put yourself in a position where you’re having to throw Hail Marys.
Elliott's approach to the must-win race is to focus on raw speed rather than aggression, as he stated: "Hail Marys Are Cool but Raw Speed Is Cooler".
