Chase Elliott Confirms Denny Hamlin’s Statement; Confirms if the Bitter Beef Is Over or Not

–In recent weeks, the NASCAR world has been riddled with controversies. While Coca-Cola 600 was action-packed and offered the fans the thrill and excitement, the community was shocked to see NASCAR’s poster boy and Hendrick Motorsports ace, Chase Elliott being suspended for allegedly wrecking veteran, Denny Hamlin with ill intentions.

The organization handed a one-race suspension to the #9 driver that had him watch the Enjoy Illinois 300 at home. However, with another race week on the horizon, the HMS driver is all geared up for the highly anticipated road race at Sonoma Raceway.

Recently, Elliott talked about the private conversation he had with the Joe Gibbs Racing driver following the race. Chase Elliott also updated about the rivalry with the veteran and shared his thoughts about NASCAR’s suspension.

After a brief interval from the sport, NASCAR’s poster boy, Chase Elliott, has finally come back. While the unfortunate snowboarding accident has caused him to remain sidelined, Elliott’s grand return to the track has been much celebrated and widely sought after as the HMS speedster came back to the Cup Series schedule at Martinsville Speedway.

Despite being out for a while, that too with a severe leg injury, the returning driver did not hold back as he crossed the line 10th at Martinsville. Soon Elliott came out with on-par performances at Kansas while the driver finished the race at Darlington Raceway third.

As the driver finally found his rhythm, the eventful race at Charlotte Motor Speedway went south terribly as Elliott got in an ugly tussle when Hamlin bumped the #9 Chevy on his way into the corner, prompting Elliott to retaliate viciously. This caused a bloody wreck with Hamlin, driving him headfirst into the wall while Elliott also was deemed out of contention.

And following the aftermath of the wreck, a furious Hamlin called out the ‘bullsh*t move’ as he laid out Elliott’s ill intentions with solid data to prove his point. Soon NASCAR handed a one-race suspension to Elliott for his unnecessary action. Ahead of his Sonoma run, the HMS speedster opened up about the “private” conversation he had with his latest rival.

Hamlin had previously confirmed speaking on call with Elliott. When asked about the conversation, Elliott said, “I feel like the conversation is private personally I mean I dont feel the need to announce certain things to the world you know everybody kind of has their opinion on that but we had a really mature and a good conversation, I thought about it and I’ll just I’ll leave it at that you know, it was just a private matter that I dont really think needs to be here.”

Furthermore, Elliott also shared his thoughts about his suspension. The respectful driver displayed character when he talked about NASCAR’s punishment. The reporter asked, “Do you feel like the penalty was appropriate?” To which Elliott replied, “Yeah, I certainly respect the penalty. I mean, you look at you know the situation last year, and yeah, I mean I get it and I respect the decision.”

The 2020 Cup Series champ added, “At that point in time when you get told that decision you just put your head down and start thinking about the things you can’t control because you certainly can’t go back and change the past right?”

With that one in the rearview mirror, the HMS ace is all geared up for the road course. And with hours remaining for the race, will the 2020 champion be able to redeem himself? Or will he have to wait longer?
