Chase Elliott faces possible NASCAR penalty after incident in Chicago

Chase Elliott faces a possible NASCAR penalty after his actions on the track in Chicago. Will Elliott be penalized for his actions?

[autotag]Chase Elliott[/autotag] moved Daniel Suarez in the NASCAR Cup Series race at the Chicago Street Course, but it didn’t last long. Suarez got back to Elliott and spun him out after being over-aggressive. Then, Elliott chased down Suarez after the checkered flag, brake-checked him, and showed his displeasure with the No. 99 car’s window net down. However, could the driver of the No. 9 car face a penalty?

NASCAR will examine the incident between Elliott and Suarez and determine if a penalty is needed. Elliott would be the driver facing a possible penalty, as Suarez didn’t do much after the checkered flag. Even though the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion has a track record, a points penalty is not expected, as it occurred after the event.

Any penalties that NASCAR may announce would be in the form of a fine on Tuesday or Wednesday. The same goes for the situation between Bubba Wallace and Alex Bowman, which could result in the 23XI Racing driver receiving a penalty. Elliott may not even be penalized, but NASCAR will look into the situation this week.
