Chase Elliott Update: Doing Well After Three-Hour Surgery For Broken Tibia; No Timeline to Return


ORIGINAL STORY: Friday, March 3, 2023 at 7:25 PM ET —

Chase Elliott, NASCAR’s Most Popular Driver, will not compete in Sunday’s Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, after sustaining a leg injury while snowboarding in Colorado on Friday.

“Chase’s health is our primary concern,” said Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports. “He’s spoken with several members of our team and is understandably disappointed to miss time in the car. Of course, he has our full support, and we’ll provide any resources he needs. We hope to share another update later this weekend.”

Elliott is scheduled to undergo surgery on his injured leg on Friday evening.

Josh Berry, who competes full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for JR Motorsports, will pilot the No. 9 Chevrolet Camaro in Sunday’s event, marking his third career start in the NASCAR Cup Series.

The Hendersonville, Tennessee-native’s two prior starts have also come in fill-in roles, both while replacing a driver from Spire Motorsports at Dover and Michigan last season.

Additional updates will be provided as they become available.
