Continued from Page IB Driver Review
He would only race part-time, but
would show signs of being a future su
perstar by running well in most races he
ran in and getting a win at Canadian
Tire (which technically involved Elliott
dumping Ty Dillon for the win, but he
still had a truck capable of winning and
that was a racing incident). Elliott
would then join the Xfinity Series in
2014, which is the 2nd highest of the 3
main series in NASCAR, racing in JR
Motorsports, a top team in the Xfinity
Series. This was the year Elliott showed
what he can be capable of. He won 3
races (also would’ve won 11 races that
season due to being the highest Xfinity
regular in that many races, but didn’t of
ficially win most of them due to Cup
drivers racing in those races and taking
up the wins instead), and the champi
onship that year. Elliott returned for an
other full-time season in Xfinity in
2015, which unfortunately was not as
good as 2014 since he only won 1 race
that season and didn’t win the champi
onship, but he was still very consistent
that season. 2016 is when Elliott moved
up to the Cup series.
When the famous Jeff Gordon retired
from full-time racing after 2015, Elliott
would get promoted to the Cup series to
take over his famous 24 car, which El
liott would drive for the first two sea
sons of his Cup career. Both years
would be really good years for Elliott,
since both years he was able to finish
and run in the top 5 and top 10 a lot,
lead a lot of laps, and make it to the
Round of 12 in 2016 and the Round of
8 in 2017, but he couldn’t get a win both
years. Elliott would have several
chances to win both years, but he would
have either bad luck or he would choke
wins away. He got dumped by Denny
Hamlin in 2017 in the Martinsville play
off race in the Round of 8, which possi
bly cost Elliott a Championship 4 spot;
incidents like that are just bad luck. But
he would throw away potential wins in
both Michigan races in 2016 when he
had the lead towards the end of both
races, but had a bad restart that cost him
the lead and potentially the win in both
races. Elliott didn’t run as competitive
in 2018 by not running in the top 5 and
10 as much, but he finally was able to
get a win, and in fact, three wins and
was still able to make the Round of 8.
Elliott showed he could be a champion
in the Cup series in the future. After an
other three wins and Round of 8 season
in 2019, 2020 was his true breakout sea
son. Elliott was able to win five races,
make it to the championship 4 for the
first time, and in his first championship
4 appearance, he won the champi
onship. Ever since then, Elliott has con
tinued to back up being a champion by
making it to the championship 4 the
next two years and have a combined
seven wins in those two years. Elliott
has been a very successful driver in his
NASCAR career and there is no doubt
he will continue getting better through
out the coming years.
Next week, we will talk about this
years’ Cup champion, Joey Logano.
Logano has had a very interesting ca
reer, so he will be very interesting to
talk about.

Pickens Animal Rescue
Let's not forget our last 2 seniors
for the end of the November Adopt
a Senior month. Oscar and Peanut
(black) are 11-1/2 year old Dachs
hunds who were surrendered to
gether back in April. They were
both pretty scared in the begin
ning, but they have really adjusted
to meeting new people now. They
both are fully vaccinated,
neutered, and have had their den
tals so they are ready for their fur-
ever home.
Both Oscar and Peanut need to be
leash trained so hopefully a
Dachshund lover will fall in love
and give them the training and
home that they deserve to live out
their lives. Call the Ranch to make
an appointment or check out our
other listings on Petfinder.
