Elliott makes return at Martinsville after breaking leg -
“We see guys shorten stages to try to get the win or whatever, going for points. Obviously, we don’t need to go for points,” Elliott said. “So anytime you have decisions to make, the decision is going to be very easy - you play the long game and try to win the event.”
“The leg is kind of tightly packed in there between the seat, the leg board and the knee-knocker. All of those have your left left pretty tight,” said Elliott, who won the 2020 fall race in Martinsville. “I feel like things are already the way I want them.”The last time NASCAR made a pit stop at Martinsville in October, Ross Chastain pulled off an impressive video game move when he intentionally rode the outside wall in turns three and four on the final lap slingshotting his No.
While NASCAR has since banned the wall-racing move, the eighth-generation watermelon farmer was invited to return to the track to help remove the “Martinsv” section of the wall that will be preserved as part of history. It’s also the same racetrack where he won last spring, dedicating the victory to his mother, who had endured stroke-like symptoms during the 2021 race at Martinsville and had to be transported back to Charlotte, North Carolina.“It’s coming up on two years now. It’s pretty amazing that she’s doing well and all that stuff is kind of in the past,” said Byron, the only Cup driver with multiple wins this season.
