WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Chase Elliott exited his race-winning car to a delighted standing-room only crowd cheering wildly in Bowman Gray Stadium.
“IÂ hope we didn’t disappoint,” Elliott said. “It was fun for me at least. We’ll hopefully come back here one day.”
This was the first Cup event weekend in 53 years at the football stadium that doubles as a storied racetrack. And it provided NASCAR a nice throwback to its roots for its annual preseason exhibition race. NASCAR’s previous experiment for the event, building a racetrack inside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, had run its course after three years.
