Kenny Wallace shares a funny video expressing his thoughts on the alleged unfair penalty imposed on Chase Elliot in the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) race.
During the NASCAR Cup Series event at COTA, a penalty was given to the Hendrick Motorsports driver for crossing the track limits. As a result, the driver dropped to 16th place and his race was ruined. Elliot’s fans were outraged by the decision and promptly expressed their frustration on social media.
Former NASCAR driver and commentator, Kenny Wallace, decided to play a joke on Chase Elliot’s dedicated fans. He posted a video on his social media, in which he imitated a fan blaming NASCAR for the penalty on the Chevy No. 9 driver. The video humorously portrayed an exaggerated representation of a fan criticizing NASCAR for penalizing the driver.
Kenny Wallace is known for his controversial actions, both during his career as a driver and now as a commentator. Some fans were offended by his comments and criticized him, while others took it in stride. The video received over 33,000 views on X.
The esses section at COTA is a challenging and technically demanding part of the track. Many drivers struggle to navigate this section effectively, especially due to the strict enforcement of track limits during the NASCAR Cup Series race.
Chase Elliot fell victim to the strict track limits when his car became unstable while maneuvering through the esses. He had to correct the position of the car, which resulted in crossing the track limits and consequently receiving a passing penalty. Elliot promptly informed his team boss about the incident.
A pesar del llamado de Elliot, la NASCAR rechazó su solicitud e impuso dos penalidades consecutivas en las vueltas 39 y 40. Esta desafortunada secuencia de eventos hizo que Elliot perdiera la oportunidad de obtener un resultado entre los 5 primeros de la temporada, cayendo al 16º lugar y efectivamente poniendo fin a su carrera.
