 IMonday May 4th-t’s time to take Chase Elliott seriously.

 Though that assertion runs the risk of stating the obvious, it bears remembering that Elliott hasn’t exactly been front of mind when it comes to the last three NASCAR Cup Series championships.

From that point on, the driver of the No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet controlled the race with an iron fist, thanks in part to a pit crew that performed its three fastest pit stops of the season on Sunday.
