Asked Chase Elliott if he has considered recusing himself from the Most Popular Driver Award voting to allow Kyle Busch that honor, as his father Bill did when Dale Earnhardt died in 2001. "I would be in extreme favor of Kyle winning the vote. I think that he's a... show more

Or Chase Elliott fans could just do the right vote for Kyle Busch.

Kyle was and always be my Driver, Chase Elliot is a gentleman and a class act, period.

@DanielKriete4 Kyle would be insulted by such a participation trophy. What a stupid ass question.

If i remember correctly when Chase kept finishing second early in his career I vividly remember Kyle consoling him after a race. Grew to appreciate Kyle more after that. Now just wish we could have him out there racing so i could get pissed at him again 😂😢🙏.

Kyle wouldn’t have wanted it if he didn’t win it. He was competetive. My opinion.

That's such a bullsh*t question. Way to put the guy in an impossible, unfair position not even 2 full days after KB's death. Why should this even be the focus right now? Furthermore, how about we let him make his own choice and not be guilted into it by a reporter.

That’s not a fair question at all. If Chase deserves it then he should win it. Honor Kyle a different way

I just think it’s wild that not even less then 48 hours after loosing the man y’all are thinking about some dumb ass trophy…. Like a man lost his life, a woman lost her son and another lost her husband and two kids lost their dad. And the most popular driver award is all you guys think about. Wow. Also if you think Kyle would want to win it like this y’all didn’t know Kyle at all. He wouldn’t want a sympathy vote trophy. He would want win fair and square.

Chase is a class act, just like his dad.

Just a bush league gotcha question. not the time or the place. I couldn't imagine putting someone on the spot like that, but you do you.

Why Chase is the most popular driver, like his daddy. Old school class.

He didn’t actually say he would recuse himself. Have nothing against Chase, but just answer the question.

I hate when reporters put people in a situation that they have to answer a question like, two fucking days after the man had passed. Like damn

@DanielKriete4 This is the stupidest and most insensitive question that could be asked.

Everyone that immediately jumped to lobby for this is a moron. The MPD award is completely irrelevant 48 hours after KB's death, and now you idiots are basically virtue signaling into Chase to withdraw from a meaningless competition.

Common @chaseelliott W

Chase is always a class act.

If Kyle was to win, this would be the first time since 1990 that the winner’s last name wasn’t Elliott or Earnhardt. 🤯

@Leadfootgirl9 I think people have gone crazy. Yes, it’s very sad that Kyle died too soon, but you don’t change everything because of that. No one likes winning by default.

I think most off us can agree that until this week Kyle would have been considered in the conversation for one of the most competitive people on the planet. To him, winning an award via recusal would only come off as the best way to insult his competitive spirit.

Only a douche nozzle would ask him in this manner and guilt him into a response… literally 69,420 better questions you could ask on this moment.

Meh, let’s not rewrite reality here. He was an amazing driver but “most popular” seems like a participant trophy in this instance.

This is a dumb question. Kyle is one of my favorite drivers but he was never a contender for “fan favorite”. No one should make Chase feel guilty for getting that honor himself instead of Kyle

This is why I’m a Chase fan.

Chase is like the uncle to Kyle’s kids. They are extremely close and this hits hard. Chase wearing Brexton’s shirt says how much he loves those kids

What a stupid question. That’s like trying to rig the voting. That’s like saying if a driver has something tragic happen in his life then you should let him win the next race. I feel horrible for Kyle and his family but he wouldn’t want this.

Do NOT bow out @chaseelliott you have fans that also want this for YOU! Let someone else give up their spot

Way to make a sad painful loss into something weird.

Chase wearing that Brexton shirt… ;-(

Fucking guy hasn't even been dead but 24 hours and them idiots are asking questions about awards lol I swear any sports media group is fucking brain dead

What a terrific, well put together answer

All class. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That’s a shitty question to ask.

This is stupid. If fans want it they can vote accordingly.

Chase is the definition of class. Thank you Chase. From a longtime Bill & Chase Elliot fan. gio
