Chase Elliott was running in second place on Wednesday Night in the Toyota 500 at Darlington Raceway with a chance to win, but he was taken out of the race after being driven into by Kyle Busch in a strange incident.
Elliott passed Busch on the outside down the straight as he crossed the start/finish line, but well before the entry to the corner, Busch turned up the track and into Elliott’s left rear quarterpanel. Elliott went spinning across the track and made hard contact into the pit wall, ending his race with under 30 laps to go.
Elliott was understandably frustrated, and showed his disapproval the next time Busch came around the track.
Shortly after the accident, rain began to fall, and NASCAR eventually decided to call the race, which gave the win to Denny Hamlin.
