Chase Elliott, Brad Keselowski and Corey LaJoie were involved in a multicar crash at Lap 150 during Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
With just 10 laps remaining in Stage 2 of the Ambetter Health 400, Elliott was running 11th through Turns 3 and 4 in the high lane of a three-wide situation, while Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Chase Briscoe raced to his left. Briscoe’s car washed up the track into Stenhouse’s Chevrolet, which then sent Elliott into the SAFER barrier.

The initial contact with the wall appeared to break Elliott’s right-rear toe link, rendering his handling uncontrollable. At the start/finish line, Elliott’s No. 9 Chevrolet broke sideways and contacted LaJoie’s No. 01 Ford and Keselowski’s No. 6 Ford.
Elliott and LaJoie were able to drive their vehicles to the attention of their respective pit crews on pit road. Keselowski was unable to do the same and instead had his car towed to the garage area, where the team is permitted to repair the RFK Racing machine under new Damaged Vehicle Policy rules for the 2025 season.
