Elliott, NASCAR’s defending champion and most popular driver, will start Sunday as the favorite given his career mastery of road courses. NASCAR’s season of parity has so far produced 10 winners through 13 races but none from Elliott. He led a race-high 44 laps on the road course at Daytona but a late yellow flag ruined his chance at victory. His five career road course wins are the most among active drivers and he’s won four of the last five outings on road tracks. Busch and Martin Truex Jr. each have four road course victories.
