Ryan Blaney gives short answer on incident with Chase Elliott at Michigan

Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney were in position for solid top-10 finishes at Michigan International Speedway; however, it went south on the final lap. Elliott and Blaney exited Turn 1 above Brad Keselowski, and the No. 9 car drifted up and the No. 9 car. Elliott finished in 15th place, while Blaney earned an 18th-place finish.

Following the event, Blaney was asked by The Athletic’s Jeff Gluck about his incident with Elliott on the final lap at Michigan. The 2023 Cup Series champion was short and deflected everything to Elliott.

“Ask [Chase Elliott],” Blaney said.

According to Gluck, Elliott made a quick exit from pit road in Michigan and couldn’t get an answer. The two drivers are good friends, so it would be reasonable that some answers should be provided at Daytona International Speedway this weekend. Blaney may feel like he owes one to Elliott, and it will be interesting to see what happens moving forward.
