In a recent incident, NASCAR star Chase Elliott expressed frustration towards a cameraman during a post-race interview at the Charlotte Roval in 2022. After a challenging race that ended his chances for a win, Elliott was conversing with teammate William Byron when a cameraman intruded into their space. Despite Elliott’s repeated requests for the cameraman to give them some space, the cameraman persisted, leading Elliott to physically push the camera away and ask him to leave. Elliott later acknowledged that his actions were impulsive and apologized, stating that the frustration from the race contributed to his reaction. ([Racing News][1], [Sportskeeda][2])
