WINNING MANUFACTURER: CHEVROLET (+115)
Elliott and teammate Kyle Larson are among the faves and both in Chevrolet’s for Hendrick Motorsports, and Kyle Busch is also back in a Chevy after years behind the wheel of a Toyota. Don’t forget about playoff contender Ross Chastain, who took TrackHouse Racing on a championship run, just falling short in the title race last November.
