Chase Elliott is not focused on the next season yet

With a disappointing end to an otherwise incredible season, Chase Elliott recently spoke quite openly about his 2022 season as well what he thinks about the coming one.

“I don’t really care about 2023 right now. We had five wins on the season, and we had — you tell me what the stats are. That’s how you would assess it, right? I know we won five races,” the Hendrick Motorsports driver said. “That’s more than we did last year.”

“But do not tell me what the countdown clock is because I don’t want to know.”

The 2020 Cup Series champion described when they’ll get back to Daytona in a few months, they’ll be “ready to go” and completely focused on things that matter. But until then, Chase Elliott wants nothing to hear or do with the next season.

“Yeah, again, 2023 is not on my radar right now,” he emphasized.
