Chase Elliott to Remain Playoff Eligible Despite Suspension With Waiver

Despite a one-race suspension, which will keep him out of this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series Enjoy Illinois 300 at Gateway, NASCAR has granted a waiver to Chase Elliott, which will keep Elliott’s hopes at a berth in the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs alive.

Elliott was issued a suspension after NASCAR determined that Elliott intentionally crashed Denny Hamlin on lap 185 of Monday’s Coca-Cola 600. This will mark the second waiver that Elliott has received in 2023, as he was granted a medical waiver following a six-race absence due to a broken leg sustained in a snowboarding accident in Colorado.

Jeriod Prince, who has served as crew chief for Ben Rhodes and won this past weekend in Charlotte, will move over to Crafton’s team as the new crew chief of the No. 88 truck.
