NASCAR Spotter Slams “F**ked Up” Chase Elliott for “Lies” as He Asks Rick Hendrick to Sort Out the #1 Driver Role

The race at Watkins Glen last week saw Chase Elliott finish in fourth place after being in a tangle with his teammate, Kyle Larson. Of course, Elliott was not happy about the incident, furthermore, he messed up stating the correct venue for next week’s race during the post-race media conference. Later on, Spotter Brett Griffin had a few things to say about Elliott over a podcast.

During the podcast, spotter Brett Griffin stated, “I think Hendricks are at a unique spot here, where they got two number ones and how they fight it out.”

“I mean look, Chase Elliott was so f**ked up in the head, over what happened, he got out and he said he’s going to the next race at Bristol.”

“So not only did he choose the wrong lane, screwed up the restart, and choke going from second to fifth, he got out of the car didn’t even know where the race is next week.”

Talking about how Elliott handled the post-race media interview, Griffin said, “it was all lies, he lied to everyone on TV.”

Elliott lost the race to his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kyle Larson during the race at Watkins Glen past weekend. After the race, Elliott seemed mad and managed to mess up the venue when talking about the next race.

What happened between Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson during the race?

During the final restart of the race, Elliott and Larson went wheel to wheel into turn one, but things did not end up too well for Elliott as he dropped down the order soon after. Kyle Larson ended up taking the win, while a furious Elliott ended up in the fourth position.

During the first turn, as the drivers headed for the lead, Larson braked late but suffered a lock-up. However, he managed to wrestle his way into the lead, forcing both himself and Elliott off track. Elliott fared off worse after that entanglement and ended up dropping positions as Larson took the lead.

Later on, during the post-race interview, Larson stated, “I am not proud of it. I don’t like to do that. But in that moment, that was my only shot to win. I haven’t won a lot this year. I felt like I did what I had to do to benefit our playoffs.”
