Elliott entered the Nov. 3 race facing a must-win scenario to preserve any hope of advancing to the Championship Four for next week’s final race in Homestead. After losing a tire in Turn 1 and making heavy contact with the wall, any chance of finishing the race, much less winning, disappeared. “It’s just a continuation of our first two weeks, unfortunately. I hate it for our NAPA group. We had a decent NAPA Chevy today. These last three weeks have been pretty rough, you never want a round to go like that,” Elliott said. “Hopefully Homestead goes better, and we can get prepared good for next season and get a good notebook for next year.”
