After taking a few days and reviewing the wreck, Elliott pinned the blame on one driver: Himself.

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

Elliott didn't apologize for his comments about McDowell, but he did at least take the blame for the wreck. Elliott is still in good shape for reaching the playoffs, and he will continue to search for his first win this weekend at Kentucky Speedway.
