Chase Elliott has procedure on shoulder to fix an injury

Chase Elliott posted a “little life update” to social media Friday, indicating that he underwent a procedure for a shoulder injury and that he planned to have a clean bill of health for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season.

Elliott, driver of Hendrick Motorsports’ No. 9 Chevrolet, posted a short video to the X (formerly Twitter) platform, saying that he had “an old injury that I needed to get tended to, and obviously, the offseason is a much better time to do that than my last surgery” — a reference to the leg injury that sidelined him for six races early last season. In the video, Elliott’s right arm is supported in a sling, but he indicated that he was “all good, ready to go” for the 2024 campaign.
