Chase Elliott’s victory this past weekend at Texas Motor Speedway moves him one win closer to a record in NASCAR’s modern era (since 1972), according to Racing Insights.Elliott’s last 13 Cup wins have all come at different tracks. That’s one short of the modern era record shared by Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson. Both had streaks of 14 consecutive victories at different tracks.

Two former Cup champions are outside a playoff spot a third of the way through the regular season.

The all-time NASCAR record is 21 consecutive wins at different tracks by Richard Petty. Twenty of those wins came in the 1967 season. The last victory in that streak was in 1968.Hamlin’s streak began in the fall Texas race in 2010 and went through the Richmond regular-season finale in 2016.Larson’s streak began with his win in the second Michigan race in 2017 and went through his victory at Fontana, California, in 2022.Elliott’s streak began with his victory in the 2020 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Chase Elliott wasn’t the only who left the track feeling good Sunday.

The Cup Series heads to Talladega Superspeedway this weekend and then goes to Dover the following weekend. Elliott already has won at both of those tracks during his current streak.The May 5 race at Kansas Speedway will be Elliott’s first chance to tie Hamlin and Larson for 14 consecutive wins at different tracks.Here is a look at each of the victories Hamlin, Larson, Elliott and Petty scored at different consecutive tracks.Denny Hamlin Texas II 2010Michigan I 2011Phoenix I 2012Kansas I 2012Bristol II 2012Atlanta iI 2012New Hampshire II 2012Homestead 2013Talladega 2014Martinsville I 2015Chicago 2015Daytona 2016Watkins Glen 2016Richmond II 2016Kyle LarsonMichigan II 2017Richmond II 2017Dover II 2019Las Vegas I 2021Charlotte 2021Sonoma 2021Nashville 2021Watkins Glen 2021Bristol II 2021Charlotte Roval 2021Texas 2021Kansas II 2021Phoenix II 2021Fontana 2022Chase ElliottCharlotte 2020Daytona road course 2020Charlotte Roval 2020Martinsville II 2020Phoenix II 2020Circuit of the Americas 2021Road America 2021Dover 2022Nashville 2022Atlanta II 2022Pocono 2022Talladega 2022Texas 2024Richard PettyHampton, Virginia 1967Macon, Georgia 1967Maryville, Tennessee I 1967Rockingham I 1967Greenville, South Carolina 1967Trenton, New Jersey 1967Fonda, New York 1967Islip, New York 1967Bristol II 1967Nashville (Fairgrounds Speedway) 1967Winston-Salem, North Carolina 1967Cayce, South Carolina II 1967Savannah, Georgia 1967Darlington II 1967Hickory, North Carolina II 1967Richmond II 1967Beltsville, Maryland 1967Hillsborough, North Carolina 1967Martinsville II 1967North Wilkesboro II 1967Montgomery, Alabama 1968
