According to NASCAR’s penalty sheet, Chase Elliott received a one-race suspension after colliding with Denny Hamlin during the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Hamlin later told reporters that Elliott’s recklessness was the result of “rage” in retaliation. This weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Illinois, Elliott will serve his sentence. In his place will be Corey LaJoie. COMMERCIAL PROMOTION “We recognize that NASCAR must maintain uniformity in its operations,” Hendrick Motorsports PR said Tuesday. Elliott is the HMS driver of the No. 9 cups. On Tuesday, NASCAR’s senior vice president of competition, Elton Sawyer, explained the decision by the sanctioning bodies to NASCAR SiriusXM Radio. “We believe this is a deliberate action by Chase after reviewing all available resources, including dash cam, data and SMT, which provides guidance, throttle and brake,” Sawyer said. “The competitions in our district are excellent. These cars are driven by some of the most incredible athletes. Things happen in the heat of the moment.” “But they have to learn to react differently.” The move that NASCAR appreciated came about 15 laps from the end of the second stage: Hamlin appeared to slip a little in Turn 4 and pushed Elliott into the wall in the Then, in the next straightaway, Elliott appeared to make a sharp right-hand turn into Hamlin’s rear fender – which sent the 11th-place car sliding into the fence. The crash ended the lives of Elliott, NASCAR’s most famous driver, and Hamlin, the winner of the 2022 Coca-Cola 600. After the incident outside the care center of the racecourse, Hamlin said: “I don’t care. It’s a scandal and he shouldn’t race next week.” “The right rear clutch is absolutely unacceptable.”
Hamlin then brought up a rematch incident from last year between Bubba Wallace and Kyle Larson, which resulted in a one-run penalty for Wallace. (Wallace races for 23XI Racing, a team Michael Jordan and Mark Hamlin co-own.) “Bubba Wallace did the same thing with Kyle Larson,” Hamlin noted. Exactly the same thing. He is not allowed to run. Tantrum Elliott expressed his displeasure with his team on the radio shortly after the crash, saying, “(Expletive) took us down twice in the last four laps.” There was something I was missing, right? After Leaving the treatment center in the field, Elliott took the situation more calmly. “It was just an unfortunate situation,” Elliott said on FOX Sports. “Hamlin’s 11 took us right to the fence.
It is quite done after taking the right sides out of these things. “I feel like we’ve made progress with our Chevy NAPA and I feel good about getting stronger.” Our steps were excellent. Unfortunately, we didn’t make it to 600 miles and try to shoot again. The deal between Hamlin and NASCAR is unusual. After the Phoenix race earlier this year, one of his most famous arguments came when Ross Chastain was approached by the driver of the No. the collision was intentional. Hamlin was fined $50,000 and given 25 driving points. His second attempt at appeal was unsuccessful.)
Due to the postponed events during the Memorial Day race weekend, the inspection of the wreckage at the Concord Research and Development Center is still ongoing, according to NASCAR. Any updates once completed will be announced later this week. French Other penalties in the Charlotte race weekend guide:
