Elliott’s accident occurred less than a week after NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Daniel Hemric arrived at Auto Club Speedway on crutches. Hemric had injured a knee during a training session. He planted his leg wrong, and his knee folded on him. His Kaulig Racing team made seat adjustments for him. He underwent a checkup after returning to North Carolina following the California race and was cleared to race at Las Vegas.
Elliott has been snowboarding since childhood. His father, NASCAR Hall of Fame member Bill Elliott, snow skied regularly during his racing career. However, the elder Elliott’s worst injury occurred in a wreck at Talladega in 1996 when he broke his left thigh and missed five races. It was the same for Kyle Petty, who has always ridden motorcycles. His worst injury occurred in a multi-car crash at Talladega in 1991 when he suffered a compound fracture in his upper left leg.
