Following the heated race at Sonoma Raceway, NASCAR superstar Chase Elliott has finally broken his silence—and his comments have left fans and insiders absolutely stunned.
After a tense weekend marked by controversy, aggressive racing, and swirling rumors, Elliott addressed the media for the first time post-race, and he did not hold back. Speaking candidly during a press appearance at Hendrick Motorsports headquarters, Elliott said:
“I’m tired of pretending everything is fine. It’s not.”
The bombshell statement comes amid speculation that Elliott was frustrated with both his team’s race strategy and the overall direction of NASCAR’s current rules package. During the Sonoma race, Elliott appeared visibly agitated over radio communications, and he finished outside the top 10 despite showing early speed.
When asked if his frustration stemmed from issues with his car setup or other drivers, Elliott responded cryptically:
“Let’s just say I’m not the only one driving off course lately.”
Fans were quick to react, flooding social media with theories about whether Elliott was calling out competitors—or possibly his own crew. Rumors of behind-the-scenes tension at Hendrick Motorsports have now gained new traction.
NASCAR has not commented on Elliott’s remarks, but insiders believe his comments could signal deeper unrest among top drivers regarding recent decisions in the sport.
With the playoffs fast approaching, the 2020 Cup Series champion’s honesty has reignited questions about team chemistry, driver treatment, and the future direction of NASCAR.
