Chase Elliott claims Kyle Busch bounty, takes “spur of the moment” bow with Truck Series win

Chase Elliott finally had a feel-good moment in May.

Retweet to congratulate @chaseelliott on his @NASCAR_Trucks WIN at Charlotte! He also collects $100k for the COVID-19 charity of his choice.

Winning a Gander RV Trucks race at Charlotte Motor Speedway made him feel good Tuesday night – not as great as a Cup race would make him feel, but good enough to take a bow.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?

That bow signaled his beating Kyle Busch in the North Carolina Education Lottery 200, not just for a victory, but to capture the Kevin Harvick-created “bounty” for any Cup driver to beat Busch.

Congratulations @chaseelliott and @GMSRacingLLC fun to watch! Looking forward to figuring out where to send this money and help a whole bunch of people!! @NASCAR #bountyover

Busch, who had won the last seven truck races he had entered dating back to 2018, has a signature bow when he wins and Elliott did his best impression of it with a laugh.

“It was a spur of a moment thing,” Elliott said. “I thought we have had so much fun with this with Kevin putting up the money and Kyle is a good sport about it, I hope.

“Just having fun, man. It’s not a dig at anybody. It was about beating him and we did it, so why not have some fun with it?”

Chase Elliott says doing the Kyle Busch victory bow was a spur-of-the-moment decision:

Harvick pledged $50,000 to the bounty in February and Gander RV CEO Marcus Lemonis added $50,000 to the pot, which Harvick said Tuesday morning would go to a COVID-19 relief effort of the winner’s choice. Elliott had talked with Harvick in the last few days, with both feeling a charity should get the money rather than the driver.

Making it even more intriguing, Elliott and Busch came into the race having won their most recent truck starts: Busch in February at Las Vegas and Elliott at Martinsville — in April 2017.

“Originally when Kevin put the money up, I was more in it for the challenge and to be able to come out and try to run with Kyle,” Elliott said.

“He is really good. Any time you have a chance to come race him, you’re doing nothing but make yourself better.”

Driving for GMS Racing, Elliott took the lead with 24 laps remaining and held off Busch, whose night was filled with problems from broken rubbers in suspension pieces at the start to a pit strategy that had him coming in for his final set of tires later than the rest of the field, putting him 23rd with 27 laps remaining.

“Self-inflicted,” said Busch, whose truck team is the defending series owners champion. “Threw it away. We had six months to prepare and screwed it all up.”

Nothing irks Busch more than losing a race he thinks he should win. And to know he finished second in a truck he wasn’t happy with makes him know he could have finished one spot better.

Notable Bounty Hunters.

A frustrated Busch didn’t see Elliott’s bow. But he kind of chuckled a little bit when told about it.

“Imitation is the strongest form of flattery – or something, I don’t know what [the saying] is,” Busch said. “Huh. That’s cute.”

"That's cute."- Kyle Busch reacts to hearing that Chase Elliott did one of Kyle's signature victory bows after the race.

Elliott probably wouldn’t use cute as his term for the night. It was rewarding, but he probably still feels the sting of two potential Cup wins in the previous six days slipping through his fingers in the final laps, including one last Wednesday at Darlington where Busch wrecked Elliott when Elliott was in second moments before the rains came. Then on Sunday, in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte, Elliott was cruising to the win when the caution came out, he pitted and settled for second.

So at least he left the track feeling good.

“I knew it would be tough to come in and beat Kyle,” Elliott said. “He still does it more than most. … It doesn’t make up for Sunday by any means, but it was a fun night.” Source - Fox Sports
