#48 Snowflake 100 – PLM
Elliott Wins Snowflake 100
OK, now Chase Elliott simply isn’t playing well with others. Even when he errs (or at least when he believes he errs) — Elliott still gets to stand on the doorframe of his No. 9 late model with a 1,000-watt smile and celebrate with a fist pump and a lengthy exhale. Those that continue to watch the young prince of Five Flags Speedway promenade his way around the famed half-mile oval so smoothly and effortlessly are running out of superlatives to describe Elliott’s accomplishments. The 18 year old from Dawsonville, Ga., and offspring of NASCAR icon “Million Dollar” Bill Elliott, rewrote the record books Friday with another Snowflake 100 victory. “I thought I made a mistake,” admitted the younger Elliott, who has yet to lose in his Pro Late Model ride this year. “I didn’t expect the race to go green as long as it did. Fortunately, we had enough tires and the setup was there.”
