HE IS LEAVING: NASCAR announced that Chase Elliott is Leaving immediately after Facing…..

On the tracks of NASCAR, the walls have always had ears and the shadows have always concealed watchful eyes.

From the days when officials physically monitored teams with clipboards and keen observation to today’s network of high-definition cameras capturing every movement, the sport’s policing has evolved dramatically.

Yet one constant remains: teams continuously searching for adjustments while officials are always on alert.

A reality hit Crafton’s #88 team hard during an unexpected rain delay in Las Vegas, triggering warnings throughout the garage about NASCAR’s comprehensive monitoring capabilities.

As rain pelted the Las Vegas track on March 15, the competition paused under a red flag after Stage 1 of the EcoSave 200.

While drivers waited for conditions to improve, teams huddled in their pit boxes, preparing strategies for the upcoming restart.

For the #88 ThorSport Racing team, this downtime presented an opportunity.

The three-time Truck Series champion demonstrated why he’s among the series’ most respected competitors by fighting back through the field, eventually securing a ninth-place finish despite the setback.

When questioned afterward, Crafton maintained a distance from the incident, stating simply, “I have no idea.

I was driving it, so I have no idea what they call it.” Rather than dwelling on the penalty, the 48-year-old veteran pivoted to enthusiasm about the upcoming race, saying, “Homestead’s my favorite race track, so look forward to going there, have some tire fall off, and racing side by side.”
