“They wanna get together and talk this weekend, which is good. You hope that we can find a path forward. There’s still some racing left this year, so I think it’s a bit unreasonable to ask for a fix that can happen overnight in the closing month of our season,” the Hendrick Motorsports driver said. “That’s a tall ask.”

“Is that reasonable to do with all the logistics it would take to do at this point? Probably not,” Elliott continued.

He described how at this point of the year, it’s unreasonable to make an emergency change considering the logistics, something which is frustrating to him.

“We should not have been in this position to have needed this type of change,” he said.

The #9 driver referenced the drivers who have taken a hit this season, most notably Kurt Busch, Cody Ware, and Elliott’s teammate, Alex Bowman, to further his point.

“I see Alex’s wreck, it’s a great example, I wholeheartedly believe that he shouldn’t ever see the concussion from that,” he added.
