Chase Elliott Would Hope his next birthday comes with a Cup championship

Elliott had the chance to celebrate his grand day with his close family and friends. However, his celebrations would have been even more pronounced if he had won the 2022 Cup Series Championship.

The Hendrick Motorsports driver had the perfect run throughout the season. Scoring multiple wins and making it all the way into the championship four stages of the playoffs. However, as luck would have it, he wasn’t able to be anywhere near Joey Logano, who eventually snatched the title.

Elliott‘s race was further ruined after Ross Chastain spun him and in the process damaged Elliott’s car. However, if in a hypothetical universe the Elliott-Chastain incident had not taken place, there was a possibility that the 2020 Cup Series Champion could have gone wheel to wheel with Joey Logano.
