A stunning turn of events following the Quaker State 400, Brad Keselowski has reportedly presented new evidence to NASCAR officials, alleging that Chase Elliott may have used an illegal modification to gain a competitive edge during his recent victory. Sources close to the situation reveal Keselowski’s team conducted a detailed review of in-race footage and telemetry data, identifying what they believe to be irregularities in Elliott’s car setup—specifically relating to aerodynamic manipulation and rear-end skew beyond legal limits.
Keselowski, a veteran driver and co-owner of RFK Racing, formally submitted the findings to NASCAR late Sunday night, urging an official inquiry. NASCAR has since confirmed that it has launched a full investigation into the matter. Officials stated they are in the process of collecting data, inspecting the No. 9 car, and interviewing key personnel involved in Elliott’s pit crew and engineering team.
While Hendrick Motorsports has not yet commented in detail, a team spokesperson dismissed the claims as “misleading and unfounded,” asserting their full cooperation with the governing body.
This development casts a shadow over what was considered one of the season’s most thrilling finishes. If proven true, the implications could be severe—not just for Elliott, but for Hendrick Motorsports’ reputation and playoff positioning. NASCAR emphasized its commitment to fairness and competition integrity, promising transparency as the investigation unfolds.
More details are expected as the story develops over the coming days.
