Chase Elliott started the Next-Gen debut year in impressive form, as he went on to win the 2022 regular season championship before missing out on the title in the playoff. His hopes of continuing the dominance over his teammate in 2023 was short-lived, after he had a snow-boarding accident that sidelined him form six weeks. Since then, the No:9 Chevy team has been struggling to find momentum.
While Chase Elliott has been struggling his teammate Willaim Byron and Kyle Larson has been dominating the scene. The duo combined won 10 races last season, with Byron leading the way with six wins. They have extended the form to 2024 with four wins from first eight races (Byron 3 wins) and seems to be in line with another potential championship-4 entry.
