Chase Elliott won the All-Star Race from Bristol Motor Speedway on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Elliott had a strong car throughout the race, and quickly worked his way up to the front by the end of the first stage.\u00a0 After racing with Kevin Harvick and Ryan Blaney for the majority of Stages 2 and 3, Elliott had to hold off Kyle Busch over the final 15-lap stage to pick up his first All-Star Race win and the $1 million prize.<\/p>\n

Elliott said the win was a good reminder of what his team is capable of after struggling the past few weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust really proud of our team tonight and to rebound,\u201d Elliott said.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019ve had a pretty rough couple of weeks and just felt like we\u2019ve kind of gotten off-base and felt like I was struggling.\u00a0 Tried to hit the reset button this week and came out and put on a great performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

An exhibition race featuring the race winners from the past year, the All-Star Race was moved to Bristol due to the COVID-19 pandemic.\u00a0 Bristol allowed nearly 25,000 fans at the event, and it was the first time since 1986 that the event was not held at Charlotte Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n

Elliott, NASCAR\u2019s Most Popular Driver, said it was exciting to win at Bristol in front of the largest crowd since the pandemic began.<\/p>\n

\u201cBristol is an electric atmosphere that is unlike any other that we go to,\u201d Elliott said.\u00a0 \u201cWhat a better night to have fans back than tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Busch tried throughout the race to get the high line worked in, but he ultimately fell short by about a half-second to Elliott.<\/p>\n

Busch said if the outside line had come in he may have been able to challenge Elliott for the win.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust wasn\u2019t quite wide enough,\u201d Busch said.\u00a0 \u201cIf it was a little wider and you could carry a little bit more speed with it, I might have had a chance.\u00a0 I knew I wasn\u2019t going to catch him or pass him if I was down there; I had to do something different.\u201d<\/p>\n
