Chase Elliott can be a pretty extreme personality. The Hendrick Motorsports superstar is either extremely calm, or when he’s mad, he’s extremely mad, and the mad bit is something that was on display quite recently in Kansas.

With 71 laps to go in the race, Elliott brought out a caution as he lost a tire and spun out, ending up stranded in the grass, unable to move.

What followed was a pretty intense rant about the Next Gen car in which NASCAR’s Most Popular Driver said exactly how he felt.

“What a piece of s**t this m***********g car is. Can’t even drive the piece of shit to pit road when a tire blows,” Elliott said on his radio.
