NASCAR took Chase Elliott's No. 9 car to the R&D Center after the Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway. Following a strong run at Richmond, the sport conducted a closer inspection of Elliott's vehicle; however, did the Hendrick Motorsports driver receive any penalties?
Elliott's No. 9 car had no issues at the NASCAR R&D Center, which is the best result from further inspection. In previous years, NASCAR has found issues that cost a race team and driver over 100 points and more, so Elliott receiving the green light is excellent news.
Going into New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Elliott sits sixth in the points standings tied with Christopher Bell. There are two races left in the NASCAR regular season. The driver of the No. 9 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports hopes to carry his momentum into New Hampshire, as the organization looks to capitalize on its speed in 2026.
