“Nice One-Fingered Salute” – Ahead of the Darlington Playoff Race, NASCAR Fans React to an Old Video of Chase Elliott Flipping off Kyle Busch

When one thinks of the Richmond race from two years ago, most people are instantly reminded of a certain questionable incident between Chase Elliott and Kyle Busch.

And now, with the 2022 playoffs coming up at the same venue this weekend, NASCAR fans were treated to an old video showcasing what Chase Elliott did after his race was ruined by the Candyman.

The kid from Dawsonville was racing at Darlington back in 2020 and Kyle Busch decided to squeeze himself in when there was clearly no space.

That resulted in Elliott spinning out and hitting the inside wall. As that incident ended his race, it sure also did make him severely angered at the situation.

Later on, the Hendrick Motorsports driver was seen giving Kyle Busch the middle finger while the JGR driver kept on driving around in circles.
