But Elliott, who was just as confused and amused as his teammate Martin Truex Jr. and Hamlin’s own teammate Kyle Larson, simply responded as straightly as he could.
“I’m going to lose so much sleep tonight. I might not sleep at all, that’s how concerned I am.”
Hamlin, it seems confused Elliott’s fans to those of Bowman’s.
Alex Bowman, yes, but why Chase Elliott?
Denny Hamlin, who was only 7 laps away from securing his sixth win in Martinsville, got hit by Alex Bowman from the back. This resulted in Hamlin spinning and ultimately finishing 24th after a restart.
An angry Hamlin went ballistic on Bowman at the front stretch and expressed his displeasure.
