Chase Elliott once again found himself in the center of controversy on Sunday after contact with teammate Kyle Larson on the apron coming out of pit road after the final pit stop. Elliott said that no message was being sent, but, Danielle Trotta of Sirius XM NASCAR Radio was not buying it. Trotta gave scathing remarks about Elliott’s move, especially in the context of the year he is having.

Corey Day had a very sloppy, bad race in general, and it started early. First, he caused a wreck that took out Harrison Burton and a couple of others. Then, he took out the JRM duo of Carson Kvapil and Justin Allgaier. You can recap that first incident by reading the article below.

Kvapil and Allgaier weren’t the only JRM cars to have issues tonight. Firstly, Rajah Caruth was out of control throughout the race, fighting a mean-handling car. He was able to brilliantly save it several times, to his credit. But perhaps the biggest incident involving the four JRM Chevys came at Lap 142 when Sammy Smith had a tire go down and spun in front of the pack.
