ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (AP) – Chase Elliott has won the NASCAR Cup Series race at Road America to wrap up a playoff spot and continue his uncanny success on road courses.  Kyle Busch took a brief lead on a restart on the 46th of 62 laps, but Elliott caught up to him at Turn 11 and had passed him by Turn 12. The restart followed a caution that came when Anthony Alfredo spun off course.  Elliott stayed in front the rest of the way for his second road-course victory of the year and seventh overall. He won by 5.705 seconds over Christopher Bell.  Busch was third, followed by Kurt Busch and Denny Hamlin.
