Chase Elliott warns about one thing concerning future NASCAR races

Chase Elliott has shared a warning regarding future races in NASCAR. Following the conclusion of the Pocono Cup Series race, the Hendrick Motorsports driver mentioned how dirty air ruined his race to some extent, and could be a concerning thing in NASCAR in the future.

After "The Great American Getaway 400 Presented by VISITPA.COM" ended, Elliott stood for an interview with Frontstretch, where he shed light on the dirty air he faced at the Pocono Raceway. According to Elliott, the driver who is in the lead has all the clean air, whereas the drivers at the back have to endure the hot, dirty air. However, Elliott believes not everyone was affected due to it. Speaking of this, here's what the #9 driver said when asked:

"I mean there were some guys who did pretty good with it, but you don't hear more of it this way."

Following this, he further added what NASCAR could do in order to avoid such scenarios and make the races better:

"No, just me. Do better job in turn three. I think that would help our cause for sure outside that, I don't know." "You're gonna hear more of it, just wait," Frontstretch quoted him saying.

Here's the video on X where Chase Elliott shares his concern regarding the dirty air:
