Corey LaJoie had a classy gesture for Chase Elliott after Sunday’s Quaker State 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Elliott passed LaJoie with two laps remaining to take the lead. On the final lap, LaJoie attempted to pass Elliott but got blocked by the No. 9 car. LaJoie ended up drifting into the wall and spinning out.

LaJoie was hoping to secure the first ever Cup Series win for Spire Motorsports. Instead, he finished 21st but did not seem too disappointed about it.
