Chase Elliott suffers brake issues as engines fire at Daytona 500 Duel

Not a great start to the night for Chase Elliott. Just as engines fired, Elliott complained about a squishy brake pedal and drove to his pit. It appears the NASCAR Most Popular Driver won’t have a great starting spot or pit stall for Sunday’s Daytona 500.

Chase Elliott was able to rejoin the field prior to the green flag. However, it has to be a bit of a concern to have a brake issue prior to 150 miles on the banks of Daytona.

The Duel races are going to set the field tonight. Justin Allgaier is trying to race JR Motorsports and Dale Earnhardt Jr. into the Daytona 500. A lot to watch tonight.
