Chase Elliott’s Brutal Critic Surprisingly Gets Hailed for Publicly Picking at the HMS Superstar in Nashville

In the world of professional sports, athletes are often subjected to criticism and scrutiny from fans and pundits who engage in heated debates, discussing the performance of their favorite athletes. Recently, a tweet from racing aficionado Darian Gillian caught the attention of NASCAR enthusiasts, as it involved one of the sport’s biggest stars, Chase Elliott.

Being the most popular driver in the current grid, Chase Elliott is no stranger to both admiration and criticism. As a prominent figure in the HMS stable, he has consistently showcased his skills and talent on the race track. His racing style and success have garnered a loyal fan base, who passionately defend his accomplishments. However, recently it seemed as if the tables had turned as several fans joined in to take digs at the star.

NASCAR insider takes a jab at Hendrick Motorsports’ ace Chase Elliott

During a post-race ceremony at the Nashville Fairgrounds, the presenter Darian Gilliam took a wild dig at Elliott. Apparently, the winner had a font similar to Elliott’s. Gillian said, “Another win at the Fairgrounds. I’m loving the gold Chase Elliott font. Hey he didn’t have to right hook anyone to win. Awesome.” This witty remark, shared on Twitter, ignited a firestorm of reactions and opinions from fans and followers.

To better understand the significance of Gillian’s comment, it is essential to delve into the context of the incident. Back during the Coca-Cola 600 race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Denny Hamlin claimed that he was “right rear hooked” by Elliott on Lap 186. The two drivers were side-by-side when Hamlin forced Elliott into the outside wall. In retaliation, Elliott made contact with Hamlin’s right rear, resulting in a head-on collision with the wall. The incident left both drivers unable to continue the race and generated a considerable amount of controversy.

Conversely, there were fans who didn’t appreciate the critic’s remark. One user expressed, “The crowd didn’t appreciate that like they should’ve 😂.” This sentiment highlights the divide in fan reactions, as some felt the comment was disrespectful or in poor taste. Although intended as a playful dig, not all fans found humor in the critique.

However, amidst the varying fan reactions, there were those who hailed Gillian’s comment as an “ABSOLUTE CHAD MOMENT!!!”
