NASCAR’s Steve Phelps on Chase Elliott suspension: ‘We hate it but it's a call we needed to make’
Fox News
Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Race went on without one of its fan-favorite drivers, Chase Elliott, after he was suspended last week for intentionally crashing into Denny Hamlin.
According to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, Phelps said Saturday that the decision to suspend Elliott was based on the precedent that had been set when Bubba Wallace was suspended in October after he crashed Kyle Larson at the NASCAR Cup Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

"It would be difficult to have a conversation with Denny or Bubba or someone else and say, ‘Hey, it was not OK for Bubba to do it and it's OK for Chase to do it," Phelps told Pockrass.
