Danica Patrick filed a petition to NASCAR requesting the cancellation of Chase Elliott’s result at the Quaker State 400 and presented a series of evidence showing that he cheated to gain an advantage, and the NASCAR CEO has responded.

Danica Patrick, former NASCAR driver and racing analyst, has filed a formal petition to NASCAR requesting the cancellation of Chase Elliott’s result at the Quaker State 400. In her petition, Patrick presented a detailed series of evidence which she claims proves Elliott engaged in cheating to gain an unfair advantage during the race. The evidence reportedly includes telemetry data inconsistencies, unusual radio transmissions between Elliott and his team, and video footage suggesting possible rule infractions regarding car modifications or drafting maneuvers.

Patrick stated that her concern is not personal, but rooted in fairness and integrity in the sport she once competed in. “If drivers are not held accountable, it sets a dangerous precedent,” she said in a statement accompanying the petition. Her filing has sparked widespread discussion across the NASCAR community, with fans and analysts divided on the credibility of her claims and the possible motivations behind them.

In response, NASCAR CEO Steve Phelps issued a brief statement acknowledging receipt of the petition. He confirmed that NASCAR’s competition committee is reviewing the materials provided and will conduct a full investigation. “We take all allegations seriously, regardless of who brings them forward,” Phelps said. “NASCAR remains committed to ensuring the integrity of competition at every level.”
