Chase Elliott's thoughts on racing at the Indianapolis Road Course
The Verizon 200 at The Brickyard saw some pretty controversial racing this year at the Indianapolis Road Course. The NASCAR Cup Series headed to the 14-turn track before last weekend's race at Michigan International Speedway and saw drivers clobber into Turn 1 of the track.
Many drivers were unhappy with the way drivers ran each other over with no racing etiquette shown on the track. Hendrick Motorsports' Chase Elliott spoke to notable NASCAR journalist Bob Pockrass on possible solutions to the Turn 1 antics at Indy and said:
“It’s a tough thing. The way, where you restart there and where turn 1 is, I don’t know what you do to fix that. The bodies on these cars aren’t quite as fragile as they used to be so you can be more aggressive on someone’s bumper than you could last year without having damage so that plays a little bit of a role. I don’t really have a good answer for it, obviously we were on the poor end of it.”
