"It probably only breaks when it's going fast. When it's going slow it probably works fine." Go back and watch the replay. Watch him driving back to pit road. That rear end was ALL over the place when he was trying to get back, and you could literally see the right rear wheel flopping left and right as he came up onto the banking. When a toe link breaks in these new IRS setups, the wheel attached to it is free to move throughout its entire range of toe adjustment, and will be influenced by whether you're on or off throttle. It's literally the same torque-steer effect you'll see on a FWD car, but on the rear and with absolutely no way for the driver to control it. *In my opinion, as someone with no dog in the fight (neither an Elliott fan NOR a Larson fan),* I don't believe he initiated the spin on purpose. I believe that the toe link was damaged when he hit the wall, broke a few laps later, and caused the spin. AT THE SAME TIME, I don't think Elliott did anything to try and stop it. Once the spin started, I think he let it go, matted the throttle to keep it off the wall, and then held it down out of frustration. Larson fucked up, and Elliott got pissed (IMO rightfully so. He had overcome multiple nearly-day-ending problems through the race, worked his way back up to fight for the lead, and then got taken out by his own teammate throwing a bad block. I know I would be pissed, and I'm sure a lot of you would be too). Larson apologized and took responsibility, Elliott needs to man up and move on. Teams can't afford grudges during normal years, let alone during this parts shortage.

[@ScottXC91]

Everything you said is completely true. I think it’s grossly irresponsible for someone in Brett’s position to talk like this. His hatred for Chase is clearly showing. I don’t know if someone at Hendrick did him wrong or what but the guy clearly has a vendetta. But to so blatantly say nothing was broken and that Chase spun on purpose, especially after Chase had already broken that area in the car and spun earlier in the day on a much softer hit, is a pretty low move.

[@irepairofpc31familykartrac51]

This guy said he knows he did it on purpose because he was able to drive it into the pits. I see cars with only three wheels drive into the pits last week. This guy is supposed to be a professional spotter wow. You better go ahead and make that house payment.

You are not a Chase fan. You of all people should realize that if you are truly a dirt racer ...Kyle had a LOT more time to see that Chase was coming versus what he sees when he races dirt. Kyle could have read a damn book in the time it took for Chase to go high. Kyle is the same coward that he was 2 years ago when he made his moronic comment.

I don't even know who the guy on the right is, but he has a clear bias against Chase Elliot. I'm not even a fan of Chase myself but you can clearly tell when this guy is starting to reach. Chase hit the wall multiple times that day. He was able to get back up there after those wall taps. He tapped it again when Kyle threw that maneuver. Chase has no reason to believe the car will suddenly spin out. It's the last 5 laps or so and this guy just demands Chase to give up because he tapped a wall? And so what if he drove it to pit lane? You can drive a lot of cars in a straight line and down a small turn even when they're dealing with destroyed suspension. I'd say the guy on the right needs to stop having a vendetta against someone just because they're popular. There's genuinely no reason to be reacting the way he is.

At Bristol the car was fine - he was just flat pissed Harvick used him up - and yes it influenced the outcome. Harvick is still pissed about it - but he has never acknowledged what he is mad about (taking away a win from his guys) is EXACTLY what he did to Chase. Ultimately that series of events ended up costing Chase another win - he flat had the field covered at the Roval........but hey Harvick only sees what is best for himself.

How can you both sit there and try to act like Chase’s car wasn’t broken when it had already been broken earlier in the day from the same type of hit? If you don’t know anything about cars, that’s your problem. But don’t take it out on TJ when he tries to explain it. And as far as Chase spinning out on purpose, it’s the same story. Stop being so ridiculous. He said “I don’t care who’s leading” over radio because he’s pissed and trying to stay out and maintain the best finish possible. He clearly said it because he doesn’t care if it breaks and he spins and causes a caution and it causes Larson to lose. It doesn’t mean he spun on purpose. It just means he’s not going to bother coming in under green and lose multiple laps when he can try to limp it home, and if it breaks, it breaks. I would think 2 people who make a living talking over the radio would stop analyzing every little word to the N’th degree all the time. The guy got put in the wall and he was angry.

He only did that because Larson had no idea Elliott was outside. 3. You can recall earlier in the race when Elliott spun out the first time it was after hitting the wall twice and radios something had broken in the right rear and noted his steering wheel was off. When he spun that first time he was running third as the result of the damage. 4. Elliott’s team spent all race diagnosing and fixed the damage in the right rear but not the steering wheel and got him back into contention. After the contact with Larson in the final 20 laps it damaged the same part they had spent all race fixing. And Chase knew exactly what broke because he got the same feeling as when he spun out the first time running third. Elliot did not spin out on purpose but he knew it was gonna cause a spin eventually just like how the same broke part caused him to spin earlier in the race.

[@ethanweeter2732]

I question if Larson did it on accident, but plenty of people who listened to the radio and watched him all day in person said he had pulled that move all day. Of course, Chase might not know that because he was catching up or not really around Larson until then.

[@ethanweeter2732]

@@robertstone9988 If he did not like competition than he would not ask Larson for help in the dirt car or treat Larson with the respect he does. Any driver would be upset if they got ran into the wall like that. If you don’t think Larson would be angry as him, than Larson is not the guy I think he is. He had a right to be upset.

[@TM42]

The theory is that KL was running away once he took the lead, so bringing out a caution creates the opportunity for somebody to beat him.

[@lastlevelboss3695]

Easily the worst episode you guys have done.

[@bartsmith2107]

Nope I can't agree. I'm not even a Chase Elliot fan but telling drivers to clean themselves up even more than what the Corporations have already done is only going to further make the sport boring. Rivalries, cheating, fighting, and racing is what makes it fun, otherwise all the critics that say nascar is nothing but left turns would be proven correct. The drivers must have their own personalities, character, and freedom to act out as they want. When Kyle Busch retires, Nascar will lose excitement, even when he cleaned his act up some - it lost some excitement. Love them or hate them it doesn't matter whichever driver you choose, as long as you have emotions to them then you are getting true enjoyment of the sport. Without their personalities it might as well be self driven electric cars out there going in circles. Otherwise, what would your topic have been for this video?

1) Larson shouldn't have thrown his spotter under the bus. 2) Yes, Larson made a mistake. Even the best make mistakes. Chase has every right to be mad. 3) Yes, Chase threw another temper tantrum. Look, Chase is upset. He thought he would be the leader of Hendrick for decades. Along comes Larson and embarrasses him by winning everything inside and outside of Nascar. Larson is loved by Gordon, Hendrick Stewart, Harvick and more. Yes, Chase is hurt.

I'm just wondering why none of the Chase fans blamed Chase for being behind in the first place? I mean they blamed Alan at Watkins Glen when he locked them up and flat spotted his tires cause, "Alan put him back there." Maybe chase shouldn't overdrive the car with a 2 sec lead and pound the wall and spend the entire race catching up? Seem to remember Chase throwing a absolute terrible block at Daytona causing the big one too. Hmm guess being the poster child for Nascar has its perks

WRONG KYLE LARSON PUT THE BRAKES ON THAT. AND ALEX BOWMAN WON FOUR, WILLIAM BYRON WON ONE, CHASE ELLIOTT TWO RACES THE ONLY REASON CHASE ELLIOTT GOT ONE OF HIS WINS ON THE ROADCOURSE IS BECAUSE NASCAR WAITED A COUPLE LAPS IN THE DOWNPOURING RAIN,JUST AS CHASE GOT THE LEAD THEN NASCAR DECIDED STOP THE RACE BECAUSE OF THE RAIN..

Chase has become almost as big a crybaby as Joey Logano. Bristol situation with Harvick was his fault when he cut his own tire down after making a dumb move making it 3 wide in turn 3 with a lap car. He spun on purpose to try and cost his own teammate the win.

Pretty sure Harvick was the little baby that whined about that for weeks on end ... Then choked like a big baby when he knew Chase was coming for him.
