Pointing the camera to the cup, Elliott said, “We’d love to come home with another one of these bad boys.”

Elliott’s to battle Gibbs duo and his own teammate in Phoenix

Sunday’s race in Phoenix will see two historic teams, Joe Gibbs and Hendrick Racing, fill up the four places for the title.

After the race in Martinsville, the three drivers who advanced to the Last 4 were Joe Gibbs teammates, Denny Hamlin, Martin Truex Jr. and Hendrick’s Chase Elliott.

With a few comments exchanged between Elliott and Hamlin on Sunday, the Hendrick driver will be wary of the experienced Gibbs Driver who is chasing his first title.

Especially when the two of them have had high tensions between them in the past.

But Chase Elliott, the defending champion has conceded the ‘title favourite’ tag to another driver, his teammate Kyle Larson.

Larson has had an incredible season, with 11 wins to his name.

In fact, Larson qualified before the other three as he advanced automatically on the back of three consecutive wins before Martinsville.

But Elliott, who has experience in Phoenix on his side, will look to finish ahead of the favourite.

Knowing Larson’s red hot form, Hamlin’s hunger for his first, and Truex’s underdog status, do you think Chase Elliott will lift the trophy and win his second straight title?
