NASCAR suspended Chase Elliott for one race on Tuesday one day after he deliberately wrecked Denny Hamlin in the Coca-Cola 600.
CONCORD, N.C. — NASCAR suspended Chase Elliott for one race on Tuesday, one day after the five-time most popular driver and former Cup champion deliberately wrecked Denny Hamlin in the Coca-Cola 600.
Elliott denied deliberately crashing Hamlin with a dangerous left hook into Hamlin’s car during the rain-rescheduled race Monday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway. “It was an intentional act by Chase in our opinion in our view after reviewing all of the available resources,” said NASCAR senior vice president of competition Elton Sawyer on Sirius NASCAR Radio.
“Once you hit the wall in these things, you can’t drive them anymore,” Elliott said after emerging from the infield care center Monday. “So unfortunately not, no, just an unfortunate circumstance.” Elliott’s loss could impact TV ratings and attendance this weekend. He is the fan-voted most popular driver in the past five years.
