“He’s going to get you back”: Dale Earnhardt Jr. warns Chase Elliott against upsetting Daniel Suarez

Two-time NASCAR Xfinity Series champion Dale Earnhardt Jr. has addressed the recent clash between Chase Elliott and Daniel Suarez in his podcast. Both the Chevrolet drivers were involved in the incident in the closing laps of last weekend’s Chicago Street Race.

Heading into the final lap, Elliott bumped Suarez, and in retaliation, Suarez bumped the #9 HMS driver in the next corner, which led the #9 to finish outside top-20 for the first time this season. After the race, Elliott and Suarez exchanged words on the pit road.

On “Dale Jr. Download," the former NASCAR driver reviewed what happened between the two Chevrolet drivers and warned Elliott not to mess with Suarez.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. also mentioned that the #99 Trackhouse Racing driver has always been a driver who has never hesitated to get back at the driver when he provoked on the racetrack. Dale Earnhardt Jr. said on his podcast:

“You know, one thing I do know, is you don’t mess with Daniel… Daniel, if you bump into that guy or mess with him, he has this reputation that he’s going to get — he’s coming back. He’s going to get you back. You’re not going to get away with that. That’s Daniel. … Chase learned that the hard way.”

After the race, Daniel Suarez shed light on the incident with Chase Elliott, explaining that the #9 bumped him initially and then he took revenge by bumping him on the last corner.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. describes the drama between Chase Elliott and Daniel Suarez

When the incident occurred between Elliott and Suarez on the penultimate lap of the Chicago race, TV broadcasters were focusing on the battle for the win between Alex Bowman and Tyler Reddick.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., earlier in the same podcast, tried to understand the situation and how the #9 and #99 cars got into it. Describing the incident, he said:

“We also had Chase Elliott in an incident with Daniel Suárez, and Brad Keselowski was a victim of that.

"Heading into, like, the second-to-last corner, Chase bumped Daniel, which sends, bumps the No. 6 into the tire barrier, right? So Daniel’s like, ‘Well s—, I’m sorry No. 6. I’m sorry Brad Keselowski.’”

The two-time Daytona 500 winner continued:

“Well, Chase goes by both of them, right, during that situation, so the next corner Daniel’s like, ‘Okay, I’m sending you.’ If you watch the in-car footage, it’s insane. Daniel hooks Chase in the left-rear. Chase didn’t have a chance.”

While confronting with Suarez, it looked like Chase Elliott was upset with how he was raced, and Suarez too appears explaining his side of the story. After that conversation, it appears the situation between the two has become normal.
