Poolroom From Chase Elliott’s Hometown Takes a Shot at JGR After Kyle Busch & Denny Hamlin’s Disqualification in Pocono

The Pocono front fascia blunder saw Joe Gibbs Racing’s two top drivers, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch, being disqualified from the race. This allowed Chase Elliott to take his 4th win of the season. In light of this, a pool room from Dawsonville, the winner’s hometown, cracked a joke on JGR using tapes on their cars in regard to something falling off their own signage.

In a Twitter post, Dawson Pool Room wrote, “This letter on our sign keeps falling off. Maybe some clear tape will help hold it? The tape will be hidden behind the letter, so no one should notice it is there. @JoeGibbsRacing do you have any extra we can borrow?”

The hilarious post made a mockery out of the fact that JGR had used a piece of clear tape on the lower corners of the front fascia of the car.
