After an incident, Chase Elliott was worked up on the team radio
On Sunday, NASCAR raced on the Chicago Street Course. With a narrow track, blind corners and carnage to be likely, spotters are super important.
Chase Elliott was in a side-by-side battle outside the top 20 when a car spun ahead. The car was stuck in the tire barrier.
Elliott’s spotter jumped on the radio telling him to go right. However, Austin Cindric, the car ahead, checked up drastically. Elliott drove hard into his back bumper.
After the incident, Elliott was heated…
Radio communications
With a crash ahead, the spotter jumped on the radio, “Stay right. Stay right.”
Chase Elliott stated over the radio, “It’s killed. Absolutely killed.”
Elliott: “Is it pushed in bad on the grill, Alan?”
Alan responded, “It’s fine. The tires are straight. Run it.”
Moments later, Elliott was fired up, “I need to know somebody (expletive) crashed not ‘go right’ Like, something’s happened. Does me zero (expletive) good.”
The spotter returned with a simple response, “10-4.”
