While Blaney, Hamlin, and even Carson Hocevar grabbed the headlines at Nashville, there’s a quieter story gaining volume: Chase Elliott. He’s sitting pretty in the standings on paper—fifth overall, consistent, mistake-free. But fans are growing restless. They see something missing. And for all the top 10s and clean finishes, there’s a nagging feeling this version of Chase isn’t quite right.

  • Why are Elliott’s fans suddenly turning on crew chief Alan Gustafson?
  • What makes his clean stats misleading in the Next Gen era?
  • Which two things make Chase stand out — and why are they not enough?
  • Is he truly slipping into “fourth-best Hendrick driver” territory?

WeatherTech Push Down

It’s not about making the playoffs anymore; Chase does that in his sleep. The concern now is about firepower. He hasn’t been winning consistently since 2022, and his restart issues, lack of raw speed, and crew inconsistencies have fans asking: Is this as good as it gets? He’s too good to fail, not sharp enough to dominate. Something’s got to change.
