Journalist Matt Weaver stated, “‘Hell yeah, guys. Good job. Thank you, thank you, thank you.’ Joey Logano

Even though Elliott chose not to speak about the incident after the race, his radio message kind of hinted at the fact that he did feel like he was in the wrong.

What happened between Chase Elliott and Ross Chastain?

Elliott and Chastain had come to blows on track, where it appeared as if the #1 car had spun the #9 car around. But later on, it turned out to be more of a racing incident and not exactly anyone’s fault to be precise.

During the restart, Elliott seemingly moved left to defend his position, but Chastain was already pushing and the two made contact. Soon Elliott was seen spinning out and hitting his car onto the wall right outside the pit road.

As per the radio messages right after the incident, Elliott seemed to be confused if he was the one who made the mistake. However, his spotter kept reiterating that he was good and that it was Chastain that was racing him hard.
