Chase Elliott<\/a> will miss yet another race this season after he made a heavily scrutinized move Monday during the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway that earned him a one-race suspension even though his predecessor and now boss at Hendrick Motorsports<\/a> avoided such a penalty for a similarly controversial move in his own career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elliott entered the rain-delayed Monday race at Charlotte 28th in the points standings after he missed six races early in the season because of a snowboarding accident that resulted in a broken leg before the scheduled third race of the season on March 5 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He fell from 14th to 32nd in the standings by the time he returned to once again pilot the No. 9 car for Hendrick Motorsports on April 16 at Martinsville Speedway. Elliott finished 12th or better in each of his first five races back from his injury and was running inside the top five Monday as the 600-mile race approached the halfway point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
