Elliott knows the road to victory in Wisconsin
Chase Elliott won the NASCAR Cup Series race at Road America on Sunday in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, to wrap up a playoff spot.
Kyle Busch took a brief lead on a restart on the 46th of 62 laps, but Elliott caught up to him at Turn 11 and had passed him by Turn 12. Elliott stayed in front the rest of the way for his second road-course victory of the year and seventh overall. He won by 5.705 seconds over Christopher Bell. Busch was third, followed by Kurt Busch and Denny Hamlin.
Elliott, who started 34th, has seven wins on road courses, putting him in sole possession of third place in NASCAR history. Jeff Gordon won nine times and Tony Stewart eight.
† Formula One championship leader Max Verstappen won the Austrian Grand Prix in Spielberg from the pole to clinch a third consecutive victory and extend his lead over rival Lewis Hamilton to 32 points after nine races.
† Josef Newgarden earned his first victory of the year at the IndyCar race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington.
