NASCAR suspended Chase Elliott for one race, less than one day after the five-time most popular driver and former Cup champion deliberately wrecked Denny Hamlin in the Coca-Cola 600.
Elliott's loss could impact TV ratings and attendance this weekend. He is the fan-voted most popular driver in the past five years.
Because he'd already missed so many races because of his leg injury, Elliott was already in a deep hole to make the playoffs. Elliott was ranked 29th after Saturday night, and the top 16 drivers make the playoff field. A win earns an automatic berth. The suspension marks seven races missed by Elliott.
