Chase Elliott drove his way to victory lane at Texas Motor Speedway on May 3, securing his 23rd career NASCAR Cup Series win and his second victory of the 2026 season. The Hendrick Motorsports driver, who also won earlier this year at Darlington, dominated the Würth 400 presented by LIQUI MOLY in a race that kept fans on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
The win at the 1.5-mile oval in Fort Worth marks another milestone for Elliott, who continues to build on his reputation as one of NASCAR's most consistent performers. With this victory, he strengthens his position in the playoff standings and sends a clear message to the competition that he's a serious championship contender.
Before the green flag dropped, the pre-race atmosphere was electric. Drivers including Bubba Wallace (No. 23 Chumba Casino Toyota), Riley Herbst (No. 35 FRE Nicotine Pouches Toyota), and rookie Connor Zilisch (No. 88 Choice Privileges Chevrolet) were spotted in the driver's meeting, focused and ready for battle. Daniel Suarez (No. 7 Freeway Insurance Chevrolet) and Todd Gilliland (No. 34 Love's Travel Stops Ford) also added to the competitive field, while Joey Logano (No. 22 Discount Tire Ford) was seen making final preparations in the garage area.
In a unique moment that blended sports worlds, basketball phenom Cooper Flagg was on hand to pose for a photo with Noah Gragson (No. 4 Rush Truck Centers Ford) during the driver's meeting, adding a touch of star power to an already star-studded event.
