- Chase Elliott was wrapping up a day of snowboarding before he was supposed to fly to Las Vegas for the NASCAR Cup Series race that weekend.
He and his friend decided to go for one last run down the mountain, which ultimately led to him fracturing his leg near his knee and forcing him to the sidelines for a handful of races.
He tells Dale Earnhardt Jr. the details of what happened that day and how he strategized making calls to break the news to his dad and his team at Hendrick Motorsports.

Imagine calling Mr.Hendrick and starting the conversation "Hey man."
Rick Hendrick really is a father figure with that response to Chase's injury news.
Seems that way to all his guys. Junior calls him Dad. He really does seem like a decent man!
I work for Rick on the automotive side. And I can vouche for that! He takes car of his family ❤
Rick is the best!!
I have never met Mr. Hendrick but I anticipated that he would react the way he did, based on what I have heard about him.
Between him and Richard Childress if I was a driver I’d want to drive for them just for that reason and not money reasons and I’m even a dodge fan. They both seem to put people first over money in times like these. Can’t say that about some of the other big time car owners
Makes you wonder how many of the younger owners would react the same way. A tip of the hat to Rick Hendrick.
I love that Jr is as invested in wanting to know all the details of the story like all us fans haha just look at his face during the 9:02
People don't understand pain. I mean REAL PAIN unless they have gone through it. You can tell someone you are in pain but if they have never gone through it, they just can't comprehend what you are going through. Glad you had people around to get you help and get you to the hospital. Rehab isn't a piece of cake either. Hope and Pray you are doing Okay now and no effects from the injury. 🙏👍🏁
Cool to hear the story from Chase’s mouth. I’m sure he is still healing and his comeback will be so sweet💙⭐️💙⭐️
God bless chase let's get that second championship 2024!!!! Please lord 2020 was the best time ever since the 28 years watching nascar I always wished to watch Jr win a championship and never happened
2020 should've been Harvicks, Chase more-so earned '22, removing the playoffs he had the most points that year
Harvick blew it move on - Chase performed when he needed and got the job done
@@jackson-md2ghSo you would agree that since Chase won the 22’ regular season championship that he should have won that one though correct?
He's done winning championships 😂
I think if they get him right physically and get the cars running more consistently faster, they could be contenders.
@Dale, amazing job getting this inside story out of Chase! 👏👏👏
Need to get Keselowski on.
The fall never gets you. The landing sure does though.
It’s a lot like speed, speed doesn’t kill you, the sudden stop does
Take a shot every time Jr says "right"
Better than saying "like" every other word, but not by much
What I was thinking, right.
@@rbell3109 ouch . . .
Awesome information and interview. Two great drivers.
Allen and Ricks reaction is a testament to how professional Hendrick’s is. I imagine other organizations wouldve had a very different response
rick Hendrick is a very good boss and a class act in life
I tried to ski one time,,,fell all over the damn mountain and that was it. Made my way to the lodge and bar watched everyone else fall all over the Mtn . Much better in the lodge by the fire.
Patella injuries are extremely painful. Been there done that. I can remember touring Bill Elliotts old Coors Melling shop in Dawsonville Ga when I was a Junior at Dawson County High School.
Chase, you should be very appreciative of the Toboggan guys, giving you an accurate evaluation of your injury. That started you thinking about your next steps.
I turn 78 this coming Saturday here in California. Maybe 6 years ago i was clearing deadwood on a slope of my property in preparation for Fire Season. While carrying a bundle downhill my foot slipped sideways and Ifelt pain.
I went to my primary care doctor immediatly who referred me to the joint specialist. They took xrays and her diagnosis was that the reason my right knee hurt was because i was old. Pain meds were prescribed. I told her my left knee was the same age and it felt fine.
I changed joint specialist and my new guy sent a camera into my knee and saw that my meniscus was torn away and folded. Surgery was scheduled for that Friday, which was the 13th. I was up and on crutches that day and walking without crutches the next.
I was amazed at how much the muscles in my quads had atrophied in one day!
It's not the fall that hurts/kills ya, it's the sudden stop.
I'm so glad that you are going to be ok ❤
People, I really do not appreciate the way you call this guy boring and uninteresting. If he doesn’t like being in the spotlight, likes to keep things personal, or is shy, then that’s his personality and the way he is. You should respect it. But it seems like you cant. And also, it’s rude to call someone boring. Everyone has a good personality and is interesting in their own way. It’s fine if you think some are more interesting than others, but to call someone boring is not okay.
I don't think it's necessarily being reserved or not exclusively outgoing that people have a problem with. I think it's the duality of coming across as 'uninteresting', while also being propped up as the most popular driver as voted on by the fans. Lot of people seem to have a problem or at least be turned off by that
@@daneamann6225bingo
My mother tore her ACL on her last run one day… I feel this
Injuries come at such a terrible time. It really is such a shame.
Jr. looking hella young today.
Even the patrol can become that guy. Everyone rides the sled at some point.
I love snow boarding.But your legs get hurt a lot.Glad he got better.
This show REALLY misses Mike Davis.
I don’t. It’s different. But I like it for the most part.
What happened did he leave?
Handling more of dirty mo stuff.
Yea it def needs another person to take Mikes place for sure
im glad he is gone.he constantly interrupted to ask the guest a long winded dumb question and you could they wanted to talk to Dale Jr. he added nothing to the show.
Come on folks let Chase be Chase. Don't try to define the man or driver that he would be comfortable, confident in at the end of the day.
Exactly
Lol. It always happens on the last run of the day.
Holy shiat Dale, give the guy a chance to talk. You do a great job of painting the picture with your questions, but IMO more brevity would make these so much more enjoyable to watch.
So where is Mike Davis?
I was gonna ask multiple times. Where is Mike Davis?
I know I have missed a few videos, but what happened to Mike?
He moved on to something else
He’s still with Dirty Mo Media, but he’s stepped back as co host of the DJD to take a higher position at the outlet.
I think hearing that helps dale how to handle something like that if it comes up at jr Motorsports
Something that I appreciated a lot last year when this happened was that in the midst of the media tearing Chase down for snowboarding, all the garage took his side and just said hey, we all have lives to live. If I remember right not a single driver ridiculed him for what he did, just wished him well.
Never say last run. Just end a lap and say OK I'm satisfied with that.
I think even from a Chase fan perspective, the whole situation left me bummed. I want him in the car and to do good, but I have to say they found great drivers to fill in those races missed. I'm happy the whole process of telling and going through everything was as hassle free as well. He already felt bad for not being there for the team, so why kick him?
Dude, can you please get Jimmy fennig, buddy Parrott, Ronnie crooks, and Felipe Lopez on the show?
Where’s Mike?
I'll listen to the whole thing ....but I had to find out what Mr Hendricks reaction was .... I would been scared no matter who is the owner... more of a reason I like Rick Hendrick
You honestly don’t understand the value of having Mike on the show until he is not there. The pacing is off, Dale rambles without constraint and the voice of the non-racer” is gone.
Rick learned from Tim Richmond being sick and Ricky Craven being hurt to take care of his drivers and know to have backup plans
He also knows and understands that happy drivers are better preforming drivers which is why he gives his drivers so much more leeway to do whatever they want than the rest the owners do
Ughh I’m cringing to chase explaining this, I’ve jacked my knees up from my bmx riding days and any kind of knee pain or hearing about it makes me cringe. And definitely understand his sick to stomach feeling but for me, I know I messed up and injured myself when I start dripping sweat, I separated my collarbone from my shoulder blade (ac separation) and got up to sit down and had a puddle at my feet in minutes, annndd that’s why I’m 34 feeling 54 😬😂
You know you're hurt, when you have the feeling of "that doesn't feel right" , immediately followed by projectile vomiting.
Be cool to hear about the following 5-10 minutes after that call ended from RH
Dale is great in the convos and asks great questions but i think the podcast is missing another voice. Eric Estepp would be awesome.
I agree, Eric would be really good with Dale.
He needs a co host for sure. Like a former driver or someone to bounce more ideas questions to
That’s why you never say it’s your last run
I like to think he was hitting a big jump but ok
You never say one more run or one more time it always turns around and bite you in the butt
I totally get that it made him sick to his stomach. I had a tourniquet put on and when they tightened it up, it made me sick to my stomach and hurt a lot more than the wounds did.
If you're wondering what it feels like, imagine a major calf cramp that wont go away. At least thats what it felt like when i added a temporary second knee in the middle of my right shin.
so there really wasn't anything Chase could have done to prevent the injury, from how he describes it
He couldve been paying attention lol talentless people should do action sports, skill issue
Like accidents don’t happen cmon now 🙄
Sure he could have not gone snowboarding. It's like people getting into car accidents. We are always left to think oh what if I left the house 5 minutes later, etc. Things happen.
Nothing, the part of the hill was unavoidable and sounds like he could do nothing else to avoid injury.
Man crappy luck for him last year hope he can turn it around so far this season hasnt been great and nascar really screwed him today at cota. That penalty in the s turns was a joke he hit bump wrong went sideways he didnt advance his postion or anything
We really need Bill on the podcast… seems like a crime it hasn’t happened yet
And I don't know if there's somebody out there that could relay this to Junior ask him what he would think about it
Do run on lake or snow dirt track with 20 inches of snow outside bank and 5 lines snow race with snow tires or sorry Chase get hurt but 20 inches of fresh snow
Take a shot and say Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with thee, every time Jr says right.
The reaction of the crew chief and owner are to be accepted because that’s part of the job in those positions
Hendrick is actually the only owner that would respond that way the rest the owners have there drivers on such a short leash that they damn near can’t use the bathroom without permission
I know this is off subject is there anybody out there that would like to see a 10 lap shootout between a mid-90s NASCAR racing a modern day NASCAR just asking
Oh Danny did that hurt your feelings? Poor guy.
Is that Chase? Or an A.I version of Chase?? Sheesh, someone give that kid a personality
SIGH - Why should he change who he is and be someone he isn’t - Ridiculous
@@JJA1987 Who said he should change?? Point is, he's boring and robotic lmao If that's what he is and wants to be, ok, but I can call it out as such!!-SIGHS 🙄
An AI version would at least try to resemble a human being with emotions. Chase is basically a cardboard cutout.
@@JJA1987 Yea cause u know him so well huh🤣🤣🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stan!
@@ath_vigil For real though 🤣🤣
Dale Chase would be a good partne for your new roll.
A robot?! Hell no
thats funny chase. you said Jackass. Silverhorn , ID
ski resort. Jackass run. broke a similar in 80’s. toboggan’s are your friend
is his leg still broken?? he seems to be having trouble hitting the gas still
No
Man after mike left the show just aint the same ...the studio is generic and dosent feel welcoming lime the table and i rather enjoyed mikes fan slash buddy perspective with gueast as oppuseed to being a true analyst...feels like jr is just going through the motions with it now
Chase is like his Dad.. Doesn’t care for the spotlight but is forced into it
I was looking for comments like this. Jr is trying his damndest to get Chase to open up with more than two words, and Chase just sitting there,”Yeah. Yeah. Oh for sure. Yeah.” Three minutes into the video he’s said one complete sentence…
Young buck dont know about courage.BTW bring Mike back.Aint watching til Mikes back
This is painful….
God could Dale let his guest get a word in?? The first half he is asking and answering his own questions. SMH
Chase has not been the same since!
Because of favoritism in Hendrick towards the 24/5
@@JJA1987 😄 🤣
Man this guy is boring. Took over two minutes for him to say more than "yeah"
Hopefully Chase learned a lesson in all of this, at least for his sake. Doing stuff like this in the off-season is one thing, but in the middle of the week ahead of Race Weekend? Sorry but how much of an idiot do you have to be?
Like I said in the beginning, I sincerely hope he's learned his lesson.
I think it was a little goofy to do it the day you go to the race track.
@@ethanweeter2732 absolutely right. Saying it was goofy is being incredibly kind and a gross understatement.
Man….. idk if chase is socially awkward or he just doesn’t like the public eye but my mans got no personality whatsoever, he’s great for the sport but it be great if he had more of a personality
YOU just don’t like his personality 😂 I happen to to like his personality. Imagine a absolute nobody, judging ones personality 😂😂
Still don’t understand how him and Blaney are the face of the sport… ZERO personality
The zero personality argument is such nonsense
He appears to have a laid-back personality. A lot of people can relate to that type of personality. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Hendrick loves drivers with no personalities
No more Mike Davis definitely two thumbs down
The new studio is sooo ugly. Im sorry. The old one was big, dark, nice wood tone. I hate this
It's the same studio just same changes
How about getting hurt throwing Frisbee? 😂
From a viewer standpoint the Bristol race was boring very boring drivers seem to make it all about them if they had a good time or not it’s about the fans that’s why you guys are getting paid you’re losing sight of the way raising should be and was
You maybe found it boring - Not everyone did - It was 100 times better than the Phoenix race the week before
Well, that didn't last long. Dale can't shut long enough to allow his guest take his time and tell the story. I'm out.
Never say one more, it's always again
I loved his dad back in the day, but I think Chase is kind of an obnoxious putz. I used to work at NAPA so I tried to make myself cheer for him but now I don't have to.
🙄
Interrupting is the worst part of interviews. Pretending to have no common sense is even worse.
Two of the biggest losers in Nascar
Speaking of yourself the true definition of one
