“It’s been a year since we’ve been here, and obviously a lot can happen in that amount of time,” Elliott said. “We’ll get on track and kind of see where we stack up and go from there.”
Elliott has raced only four times this season and missed six races with a broken left tibia that he suffered in a March 3 snowboarding accident.
Kyle Busch starts on the pole Monday, and Joe Gibbs Racing driver Christopher Bell joins him on the first row. Ford drivers benefited from the rain, with Ryan Blaney starting third, followed by Brad Keselowski, Chris Buescher and Chase Briscoe.
Busch, enjoying a successful first season with Richard Childress Racing, won last week’s race at Talladega Superspeedway.
