Chase Elliott's $1 MILLION Shot RUINED By His Own Teammate

Chase Elliott's shot at NASCAR's $1 Million In-Season Challenge just took a brutal hit at North Wilkesboro Speedway.

A caution flag caused by his OWN Hendrick Motorsports teammate left Elliott a lap down with almost no path back right as he was set to face Todd Gilliland in a winner-take-all matchup.

In this breakdown, we cover the lap 104 incident involving Alex Bowman and Tyler Reddick, what it means for Elliott's single-elimination bracket, how it shakes up the playoff points picture for Ryan Blaney and Denny Hamlin, and whether NASCAR's new tournament format is fundamentally flawed. We also break down the best-case and worst-case scenarios for Elliott's comeback bid.
