Major Crash in NASCAR's Richmond Race Diminishes Chase Elliott's Chance at Regular Season Title
After a clean first stage of racing in the penultimate race of the NASCAR Cup Series regular season at Richmond Raceway, three close cautions snowballed into a crash that collected 13 drivers. A lap into the third restart of the night, Chase Briscoe was looking to the inside of Kyle Larson when he was forced to check up, placing him in Kyle Busch's lane and resulting in him turning in front of a closely packed field on the Richmond front stretch. The drivers who had no time to respond included Ross Chastain, Brad Keselowski, Justin Haley, Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Chase Briscoe, William Byron, Todd Gilliland, Cole Custer, and Erik Jones. Chase Elliott, who entered the race weekend second in the regular season championship and the best bet to bring a challenge to his teammate Byron, found himself missing the initial mayhem before being collected by Busch, who was exiting the scrum. Busch right-reared Elliott, sending the 2020 champion into the wall and ending his night. Before this crash on lap 199 of Richmond's 400, Elliott had completed all but one lap of the NASCAR Cup season to date. I have no idea what happened still," Elliott told NBC's Kim Coon after exiting the care center. "Obviously, I saw them crashing, and we were all stacking up trying to get stopped. After the wreck was over, I thought we were done wrecking. I was just trying to squeak by, and I guess somebody didn't know I was done there. I guess Kyle just didn't know I was to the left, whoever was next to me and myself, we were trying to get by the accident." With Elliott out of the race, Byron just has to finish 62 points ahead of Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell. He entered the weekend 61 ahead of Hamlin and 63 in front of Bell. Hamlin sustained more damage than Byron in the lap-199 wreck, and Bell had a bad pit stop before the start of the final stage to restart 25th. Byron, on fresh tires and with his car seemingly unaffected by the crash, moved from 27th to 18th quickly on the fourth caution's restart.

Contact between Busch, Briscoe sidelines Elliott at Richmond
A nudge from Kyle Busch into Chase Briscoe triggered a multicar crash shortly after a Stage 2 restart during Saturday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway. As cars battled three-wide down the backstretch at Lap 198, Busch contacted Briscoe's right-rear entering Turn 3 at the 0.75-mile short track, sending Briscoe spinning across the track and into traffic. The wreck involved 12 different cars, including Denny Hamlin, who had lost track position after consecutive slow pit stops, in addition to Justin Haley, Brad Keselowski and others. RELATED: | Trying to escape the melee, Chase Elliott, who entered Saturday's penultimate regular-season race second in points, was hit in the right-rear corner by Busch just as Elliott cleared the bulk of the carnage. Elliott contacted the outside wall nose-first, ending the 2020 champion's race early for his first DNF of the season. Entering the evening, Elliott had completed all but one lap in 2025 and had scored inside the top 20 in each race up until Watkins Glen on Aug. 10. Points leader William Byron received damage, contacting Elliott's car during the wreck, but continued on. Byron remains eligible to clinch the Regular Season Championship at Richmond.
