Elliott argued that the right mindset is to go out and give his best at all times, even with a guaranteed Round of 8 appearance.The 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion said (via Speedway Digest):“My mind is really all about (the) Charlotte (Roval) right now because five more points would be a really big deal for us starting the next round and we will be in a position where you're going to have to fight for wins over the next round too.”“So, I think it's a great opportunity to race this weekend like we're going to have to race the next three weeks following that and get our team in a position where that's the norm because if you want to get to Phoenix, that's got to be the mindset there anyway.
