Chase Elliott’s Fails To Follow in His Father’s Footsteps

NASCAR


Chase Elliott, the Golden Boy of NASCAR, is yet to secure a win this season. With only six races left before the playoffs commence, his chances of securing a spot in the playoffs remain uncertain.
 

Disappointment in New Hampshire

For the first time in half a decade, Elliott faced disappointment in New Hampshire, finishing outside the top 10. This has led to questions about his ability to follow in his father's footsteps and live up to his legacy.

Discomfort with Recurring Questions


During a pre-race media session at Pocono Raceway, when a reporter asked about qualifying at the circuit, Chase Elliott’s discomfort with recurring questions became apparent. Sirius XM’s Claire B Lang asked, “Can you talk about qualifying, and the difficulty or art of qualifying here and how you look at it?”

Elliott responded, “I am not the person to be asking about qualifying … if you haven’t noticed. I used to qualify okay, but we just haven’t qualified well in a while.” He made light of the fact that he’s been off his game lately and thus may not hold the key to unlocking the secrets of qualifying at Pocono.
