Chase Elliott's Atlanta victory celebration was emphatic and enlightening
HAMPTON, Ga. — One didn't need to know if a 44-race winless drought weighed on Chase Elliott or that he ranked third among the four Hendrick Motorsports drivers in Cup wins since 2023. His reaction Saturday night showed what it meant to win again. Elliott punctuated his last-lap victory with a pair of smokey doughnuts and a burnout in front of a frenzied home crowd, whose cheers rivaled the fireworks show that took place at the same time. As Elliott emerged from his No. 9 car, designed for this race by an 11-year-old girl who has endured 19 surgeries, he sat on the window opening and pounded his right hand on the car's roof four times. Elliott threw both arms in the air, stood atop the car, raised his arms again and punched the sky twice with his right hand before he leapt back to earth. He then headed to the stands to high-five fans. His most recent Cup celebration before Saturday came in April 2024 at Texas when he ended a 42-race winless streak. His reaction that day was muted compared to his celebration at EchoPark Speedway. Go back to his first Cup win at the track formerly known as Atlanta Motor Speedway. There was no pounding of the roof or going through the fence to be with the fans that day. That didn't make it less special — as Elliott said then 'to win at your home track is a really big deal, I think, to any race car driver.' But Saturday night meant everything. It was clear based on how he reacted even if he couldn't put it into words. About two hours after the race, Elliott was asked where the 20th Cup win of his career ranked. 'It's up there for sure. … It's always such a whirlwind from the time the race ends to the time I get in (the media center),' he said. 'I just haven't had a minute, you know what I mean? Sometimes it takes a minute. 'I'm going to get to drive home, have a minute to myself. I'm looking forward to that.' Dustin Long, That drive would have given him the chance to think about so much from Saturday night. There were big runs and bold moves drivers made to gain positions, the scramble to get to second coming to the white flag and the push from teammate Alex Bowman that launched Elliott past Brad Keselowski for the lead. The sight of the checkered flag for him and the roar of the crowd will be hard to forget. Each voice that screamed for the Georgia driver sounded as if it came from 10 people not one. 'A pretty surreal moment,' Elliott later described it. ' … I've never, like, been onstage and been a singer or anything like that. I would have to imagine it would feel something like that. It was such an incredible experience.' Winning is difficult in NASCAR's premier series — a saying uttered by so many drivers. Kyle Busch, the winningest active driver in Cup, hasn't won in the series in two years. Denny Hamlin is three wins away from his goal of 60 career victories and admits that when races he could've won get away, they sting more because he knows he has fewer starts left in his career. Nate Ryan, Elliott has had his challenges. After winning 12 times from 2020-22 — including a Cup championship — he has won twice in the 83 Cup races since the 2023 season. He missed the playoffs in 2023, finished seventh last year and his Atlanta victory moved him into second place in the standings with eight races left in the regular season. 'I just want to be competitive,' Elliott said of what drivers him. 'It's like I told you guys before, for me satisfaction and showing up on a weekend is 'Were we relevant? Were we in contention? Did we actually have a shot? Were we up there with pace, doing the right things?' 'I believe that in this sport, if you're doing all those right things, A, that's something to be proud of, and B, if you're doing them regularly, you're going to get a return. I thought (Saturday night) was a great example of that. Truthfully, the past three or four weeks have been a good example of that. 'We've had some good runs. We've put together some great races, had some good finishes. Just had ourselves in the hunt (Saturday night), and the cards fell our way. That's the goal every week, is to just keep yourself in the hunt, be right there in the mix. 'Certainly if things work out, I'll always cherish and enjoy them as much as possible, because they are hard to win. Nobody has anything promised to them. I recognize that. I'll never take that for granted in those moments, especially to do that here at home.' Through it all, the fan support has been there for Elliott, who has won the National Motorsports Press Association's Most Popular Driver Award seven consecutive seasons. 'I think it just kind of goes to show how great our fans have been to me and to us,' Elliott said early Sunday morning. 'It just kind of really makes you appreciate them even more for really sticking with us and not giving up hope, ultimately being able to give both me and my team an experience like that, because their determination and unwillingness to quit on us is really cool.' Elliott also delighted in praise for his burnout. 'It was, yeah, very much in the moment,' he said.'Tried to do what I could to make it cool, hoped that everybody enjoyed it.' It was something else he could reflect upon on his drive home after winning against in Cup.

Princess Anne Wears Tangerine Hue to Royal Ascot—and Recycles an Outfit She Last Wore in the ‘80s
Princess Anne may be known as the hardest-working member of the royal family with a business-first approach, but that doesn't mean she doesn't prioritize fashion. Case in point? Her Royal Ascot look this week. King Charles's only sister stepped out on Wednesday in a royal look that turned heads for a couple of reasons. For one thing, her tangerine hue is totally on-trend, but her ensemble is also a master class in sustainable dressing. (Anne first wore this particular outfit in the 1980s—whoa.)Let's flash back: It was 1987 and Anne—who was 37 at the time—took to the balcony, alongside her mother, then-Queen Elizabeth II, for Trooping the Colour wearing a cream-colored skirt suit with tangerine trim. A matching silk wrap top is layered elegantly underneath. (She paired the look with a two-strand pearl choker—the exact same one she donned for Royal Ascot in 2025.)But here's where her Royal Ascot choice gets super cool and sustainable—Anne has recycled this outfit several times since. She wore it again for a visit to Royal Chelsea Hospital in 2008, then again for Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee in 2012. (Fun fact: Tangerine was the Pantone color of the year at the time.)In 2015, Anne attended the Centenary Annual Meeting of the National Federation of Women's Institute, once again wearing this style—proof it's an ensemble with staying power. (That said, Anne seems to continually find a way to make it feel fresh by swapping out her headpiece—we especially loved this year's wide-brimmed look.)It doesn't hurt that fruity-themed hues (everything from guava to cherry) are in vogue for this year. Still, given the longer sleeves with this suit jacket—not to mention her gloves—Anne's style was a choice given the soaring temps in the U.K. (Windsor has been experiencing a heat wave into the high 80s all week.) But that didn't seem to bother Anne one bit—in fact, she looked to be the picture of tailored refinement as she took in the races and chatted with family and friends. Proof our most fabulous outfits are already in our closet? According to Princess Anne, yes. This '80s-Set Hulu Show Has a 95 Percent on Rotten Tomatoes—and It's as Addictive as It Is Sexy

NASCAR's Cup Series to debut In-Season Challenge as $1 million backdrop to points race for title
Associated Press HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — The debut of NASCAR's In-Season Challenge in Saturday night's Cup Series race in Atlanta generated differing opinions and expectations from drivers. After all, there's a points race to attend to. Every team's top priority is qualifying for the playoffs and trying to win the championship. Some drivers acknowledge they simply haven't paid attention to the new race within the race. Joey Logano says he sees no reason to view the new tournament as a distraction. 'If there's something to win, you want to go win it,' Logano said Friday. Denny Hamlin is the No. 1 seed in the 32-driver In-Season Challenge, a five-race, bracket-style tournament. Chase Briscoe, who held off Hamlin for his first win for Joe Gibbs Racing last week at Pocono Raceway, is the No. 2 seed. A $1 million prize awaits the winner as part of a new media rights deal that includes TNT. Briscoe said Friday he felt 'definitely a sigh of relief, you know, just a weight off your shoulders' following last week's win. He said that sense of relief was shortlived. 'I'm expected to win multiple races, not just one,' Briscoe said. 'It's a sense of relief, but also more pressure because now they know you can win.' NASCAR hopes the tournament generates mid-season interest. The single-elimination format cuts the field to 16 at Chicago, eight at Sonoma, four at Dover and the final two at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Many drivers expect their interest in the tournament will increase after Saturday night's race. 'I think some of the drivers have been kind of dismissive over the bracket challenge,' said Brad Keselowski, who enters the race No. 30 in the points standings and in need of a win in Atlanta to earn a playoff spot in his RFK Racing Ford. 'I think it'll become a lot more real, whether it be for the drivers or for the media or the fans, as it progresses into the later rounds over the next few weeks,' Keselowski said. Added Ricky Stenhouse, who is 24th in the points race, of the new tournament: 'It's cool. I think after this weekend you'll have a little better idea of what you have. Our main goal in Atlanta is winning and getting into the playoffs.' Drawing 'Uncle' Noah Briscoe is facing No. 31 seed Noah Gragson in the first bracket. He says it's a difficult matchup, in part because 'he's actually probably my best friend on the circuit … and my son's favorite driver.' Briscoe said his 3-year-old son, Brooks, thinks of Gragson 'like that uncle that just you take your kid to, and he has Pop-Tarts and ice cream and everything else when he's with them.' Added Briscoe: 'Hopefully I'll win. If not I'll never here the end of it from Noah or my son.' Briscoe posted a photo on his X account of his son's bracket. The photo shows the smiling Brooks holding a bracket with his father's No. 19 winning every round of the tournament. Racing for Rhealynn Chase Elliott has a special paint scheme on his No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet that was designed by 11-year-old cancer patient Rhealynn Mills. Elliott chose Mills' design to highlight his foundation's efforts to raise money for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Elliott said the 'Design to Drive' program has raised $500,000 for the children's hospital. 'The only bad thing is I feel like we've crashed every time we've done it,' Elliott said, adding his sponsor, NAPA Auto Parts, deserved credit 'for giving up the car' so the paint scheme could instead feature Mills' design. New name for Atlanta track EchoPark Speedway is the new name for the track that was still known as Atlanta Motor Speedway in February when Christopher Bell won while leading only the final lap in overtime. It's the home track for Elliott, from Dawsonville, Georgia, and he acknowledged seeing the name change and the new green paint 'was different for me. I think it's fine.' Odds and ends Ryan Blaney is the favorite (+800) to win the race, per BetMGM Sportsbook. Joey Logano and Austin Cindric, each at +1000, were next. ___ AP auto racing: recommended
