Chase Elliott on Tuesday accomplished something few in the NASCAR Gander Trucks Series ever have: Make Kyle Busch leave the track with his tail between his legs.
Elliott held off a late-charging Busch to win the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. In doing so, Elliott — who entered the race just a few days removed from his Darlington dust-up with Busch — claimed a combined $100,000 bounty that Kevin Harvick and Gander RV & Outdoors CEO Marcus Lemonis will donate to COVID-19 relief efforts.

If you’re a NASCAR fan, you know one of Busch’s signature moves is to take a bow after claiming a checkered flag. With that in mind, Elliott tastefully trolled his Cup Series rival after picking up the victory.

Well done, Chase.
