Chase Elliott's thoughts on Kyle Busch's performance in last weekend's NASCAR Cup Series race
Hendrick Motorsports driver and 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion Chase Elliott was one driver who did not seem surprised by what Kyle Busch managed to achieve in Fontana last weekend.
The #9 NAPA Auto Parts Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 driver was seen elaborating in a post-race interview about the Richard Childress Racing driver's ability behind the wheel of a stock car.
"Why is anyone surprised by this? I mean, that's mind-boggling to me that anyone who's surprised that Kyle's a fantastic, one of the best racecar drivers to ever do this and that didn't change overnight. I'm not surprised and anybody who is should rethink their NASCAR knowledge in my opinion."
The stage is set for drivers such as Bush and Larson to battle it out at the 1.5-mile-long Las Vegas Motor Speedway along with other notable contenders such as Ross Chastain and Denny Hamlin this weekend for the Pennzoil 400. The race is set to go live on March 5, 2023 at 3:30 pm ET on FOX Sports.
