Kraft conveyed on this, “You get bullied because you’re in the way. That’s why you get pushed around. If you weren’t in the way, you wouldn’t get pushed around as much as you do. My guess was that it wasn’t Cody, it was I assume it was the crew chief. But the radio communication says that he is mad because he didn’t have anything for you Cody.”

Who among Chase Elliott and Cody Ware was at fault in Bristol?

In retaliation to the push by Chase, Cody Ware came back around 170 laps later to push the number 9 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. However, given the offensive nature of Chase Elliott, it’s hard to say who was at fault.

The spotter further stated on Dale Earnhardt Jr’s Dirty Mo Media YouTube channel, “Chase Elliott didn’t have anything for Cody Ware. “What a Fu**ing idiot.” I mean who the hell considers saying that. I mean how do those words literally come out of your mouth.” TJ Majors followed up with, “He needs to be our pre-race hype guy.”
