Well folks, Chase Elliott is in a sling. The 2020 NASCAR Champion had to get shoulder surgery to start the offseason, just to take care of things. Elliott didn’t injure himself, at least not recently. This is something he has been dealing with and now with the offseason here, was able to get taken care of.
Athletes are often getting surgeries in the offseason. It’s simply to avoid any further time out of competition. Of course, Chase Elliott missed multiple weeks in 2023 with a broken leg from a snowboarding accident. Then he served a one-race suspension for wrecking Denny Hamlin at Charlotte.
I assume Elliott didn’t want to miss any more of the 2023 season. So, he saved the surgery for the offseason. Elliott put out a video to give a “life update” to his fans.
“Hey guys, what’s up?” Elliott says in his video. “I hope you’re enjoying the fall and the holidays approaching really quickly I just wanted to give you a quick update. I had a little procedure on my shoulder, had an old injury that I needed to get tended to and obviously the offseason is the much better time to do that than my last surgery. So, here we are and everything is all good ready to go for 2024, certainly looking forward to the Daytona 500 coming up in February.”
