In a season where Kyle Larson seemed near invulnerable at certain points, it’s easy to miss out on a key player for Hendrick Motorsports, Chase Elliott. After all, it wasn’t just Larson racking up wins for the team in the last few years. However, one aspect that Elliott seemed to excel in, particularly with the Next-Gen car. Although some may dislike the changes that came with the car, Elliott took up the challenge, dominating the first year of change. It may be what caused him to be surprised after spending 3 years with the car.
Hendrick Motorsports drivers’ performance was commendable upon the 2022 debut of the Gen-7 car. It felt like it was the only team that had the key to excel with the new system, where Elliott had won 5 races by the regular season’s end and finished in the 4th position. His 2022 results assured him he would set a new benchmark for the next season. With his learning from previous races and support from the team on a better understanding of the race environment, he made a progressive comeback in the 2024 season, finishing in the 7th standing position.
