Chase Elliott changes demanded after ‘unacceptable’ NASCAR mistake – Motorsport – Sports

One simply tagged Team Hendrick and Jeff Gordon, writing: “Something has to change”, while another said: “We’re about to find out just how much HMS cares about the 9 team”.

Another demanded: “Time to change things this team has made no significant changes other than spotter in 8 years. What a waste”. 

“Tweet that Alan and the crew are fired even before it’s announced and leave it up so @RickHendrick has no choice,” another reply read. 

An additional reply declared: “Every damn person on this 9 team should be out of a job first thing Monday morning…Lord knows if this happened with Larson he’d have a new pit crew by the team he makes it back to Charlotte”.

Gordon was asked to “please please please shake this team up,” while a fan asked: “Give the jackman and rear tire changer “leave of absence” for the remainder of the season. Thanks”. 

Ironically, Elliott addressed the need for a complete race including on pit road just last week. 

He said: “It all has to come together at the right time. I have to do my job. We’ve got to call good races on the box. We have to have good pit stops. It’s all there. Obviously, we want more and we expect more.”
