Harvick said that he’s despite everything will offer the prize. It will be open for any Cup Series driver who might beat Kyle Busch in the race at Charlotte. However, rather than giving that cash directly to the driver, Harvick will give that money to a noble cause for the sake of the triumphant driver on account of the coronavirus pandemic.

Chase Elliott will likewise participate in the truck race. Chase and Kyle Busch have their own history. They were engaged in an accident during the Darlington cup race.

Elliott had passed Busch for the second spot as they raced towards the completion. As he endeavored to move back in line Busch touched the back of Elliott’s vehicle. The impact sent him into the wall and out of the race.

After the episode, Elliott escaped his vehicle and flipped his middle finger at Busch on the accompanying lap. Busch’s Joe Gibbs Racing partner Denny Hamlin proceeded to win the downpour abbreviated race, with Busch completing second.

The two drivers said they have patched their relationship, yet it wouldn’t be astounding to see both up on their wheels only somewhat more than expected on Tuesday night if they will be direct and drawing close to one another once more.

Elliott will drive the No. 24 GMS Racing Chevrolet in Tuesday’s North Carolina Education Lottery 200. He will be on the 26th spot for the Gander Trucks’ first race since the COVID-19 pandemic break. Busch will start from sixteenth in the No. 51 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota. This will be Elliott’s first Trucks start since 2017 and Busch has won the last seven Truck races he has entered.
