No one saw it coming — but when Chase Elliott stepped onto the makeshift stage centered on the track, standing before 80,000 breathless fans to sing “See You Again” in honor of his late teammate Michael Annett, the entire arena fell into a profound silence. His voice — seldom heard above the roar of engines — rang out husky and raw, yet filled with reverence and sorrow, wrapping around each lyric like a prayer sent to his departed friend. 💔
