Chase Elliott Takes to Social Media After Snowboarding Accident in Colorado
Days after breaking his leg in a snowboarding accident in Colorado, Chase Elliott took to social media to offer appreciation to those who reached out during his recovery phase. During Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race, FOX Sports reported Elliott had successful surgery and flew home to watch the race with team members. Filling in for Elliott in his absence was Xfinity Series regular Josh Berry, who pilots the No. 8 entry for JR Motorsports, to make just his third Cup Series start and first behind the wheel of the Next Gen car.
Hendrick Motorsports states there is no timetable for Elliott’s return behind the wheel as he will undergo physical therapy in the coming weeks. Despite the setback, Elliott remains in good spirits, humorously tweeting on March 5, 2023, ‘It has come to my attention that the formal request I submitted for a slight edit to the March section of my script was indeed… declined.‘
