INDIANAPOLIS — A few days and a few replay reviews have given Chase Elliott a new perspective on last weekend’s crash at Daytona.

Now he believes there’s only one driver to fault.

“I’ll take the blame,” Elliott said Thursday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. “I don’t have an issue with it.”

That’s a stark contrast to Elliott’s profanity-laced tirade on the radio Saturday night. Back then, Elliott let his Hendricks Motorsports team know exactly who he thought was responsible for the contact — Michael McDowell.

McDowell fired back Wednesday on Twitter.

“I wonder if (at)chaseelliott watches the replays and realizes he wrecks himself,” McDowell wrote. “That is Twice now.”

On Thursday, during a trip to the 2.5-mile Brickyard, Elliott acknowledged what was said Saturday night came in the heat of the race and time had helped him reach a different opinion — one that may help him produce a better result at Kentucky this weekend.
