NASCAR suspended Chase Elliott for one race after the five-time most popular driver and former Cup champion deliberately wrecked Denny Hamlin in the Coca-Cola 600.
Hamlin owns the car driven by Bubba Wallace, who was suspended one race last year for deliberately hooking Kyle Larson in a race in Las Vegas. The move is considered one of the most dangerous in NASCAR.
Hamlin said he was so furious after the wreck he wanted to fight Elliott, claiming his counterpart had a “tantrum” on the track and “shouldn’t be racing next week. Right rear hooks are absolutely unacceptable.” Hamlin on his podcast, “Actions Detrimental,” on Tuesday said the act by Elliott was absolutely deliberate payback for earlier contact between the two.
After Elliott broke his leg in a snowboarding incident, the sport’s TV ratings took a nosedive. And when Elliott was deemed healthy enough to race at Martinsville, NASCAR recognized its importance and hurried to promote his return on social media and with commercials.
