NASCAR Fans Rally Behind Chase Elliott for 2024 Success After Dismal 2023 Season

The 2023 season for Chase Elliott was abysmal and something to be forgotten. Problems began after an injury rendered him out of the car for several races.

After that when he did eventually return his on-track performances did not showcase any sign of improvement. He even received a penalty after deliberately wrecking Denny Hamlin at Charlotte.

The Hendrick Motorsports driver was left without a chance to compete in the playoffs for the first time in the Cup Series career. Despite the problems the odds for his performance next season point to an O/U 2.5. Hence, indicating that if all goes well, he might be able to score more than 2 wins in his 2024 campaign.

Fans believe the upcoming season will be better for Chase Elliott

Meanwhile, the fans of the HMS driver believe that Elliott will be able to win quite a few races next season, some speculating the number to be as high as five. Their confidence mostly remained around the road course events along with the superspeedway races.

I lean over. Between road courses and super speedway races, he probably gets 3.

He will be a stronger driver this year so be sure to watch out people he’s coming.

4+ Mr H will want the flagship of the HMS to succeed and will throw everything they have to make sure of it. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the other three teams get two to three wins a piece minimum.

Over. I say 4. No way Hendrick lets the golden child have another year like ‘23. He’ll throw everything he can at that team

I’m saying 5 wins for @chaseelliott in 2024 including Atlanta and Dega in the spring, maybe a road course or 2

In case the predictions come to fruition, it would indeed be a good way to get back to peak form for the 2020 Cup Series championship and the #9 team. But until the season kicks off with the 2024 Daytona 500 everything surrounding Elliott’s success is just pure speculation.
