What if we tell you that Chase Elliott is one of the leading drivers in not just the points table? Yes, you’re reading it right. What if you know the Hendrick Motorsports driver is one of the most common drivers to be involved in a racing incident this year? Yes, it’s not us, it’s the statistics that reveal the shocking fact.

Chase Elliott is the current leader in driver’s standings. The no. 9 driver of the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 has been on top for a long, long time now.

The Hendrick driver has been involved in 18 racing incidents in 2022 so far. That’s massive for a driver to be involved in these many incidents yet hold on to the top. Chase is tied with Woods Brothers Racing driver Harrison Burton who’s involved in as many racing incidents.

To call the statistics shocking is purely justified. For someone to be involved in the most incidents, yet leading the championship by 65 points is a big deal. Admittedly, the Hendrick Motorsports driver won one race and has two stage wins, three top-5s, and nine top-10s in the 12 races he took part in.

Where do others stand as compared to Chase Elliott?

Burton, the driver who’s tied with Elliott is in 29th place. The Woods Brothers driver has amassed 169 points so far, which is a whopping 284 points less than that of Chase. Honestly, that’s not even half of what Chase Elliott has amassed.

Harrison is yet to pick up a win, a stage win, or top-5 and top-10 finishes. Moreover, when asked about Brad Keselowski by a fan, “What about Brad Keselowski?” the stats go like Brad had 13 incidents in total. 10 in races, 1 each in practice, qualifying, and exhibition event in 2022.

As for Brad, he only had one top-10s finish, and no wins, stage wins, or top-5s out of the 12 races he took part in. All in all, all these statistics prove how good Chase Elliott as a racing driver is. Given below are some of the fan reactions taken from Instagram:

“But O DNFs for Chase.”

“Number one in points and incidents, hell yeah.”

“Unbelievable.”

“The difference is Chase gets good results and not 25th most races but still a good stat that should be mentioned more.”

“Wowsers.”
