Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott was recently featured in an interview with NASCAR analyst Bob Pockrass ahead of the Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway. During the interaction, the duo recalled Xfinity Series driver Connor Zilisch's fall when he tried to celebrate his win last weekend, and Elliott shared his thoughts on whether he would climb on his car to celebrate a victory in the future.Zilisch landed his sixth win of the season at Watkins Glen International last week but got injured while celebrating. He climbed over his #88 Chevy, but his left foot got stuck in the window netting, leading to his awkward fall. Following this, the 19-year-old injured his collarbone, which required surgery, and a metal plate was installed to stabilize the bone. Furthermore, scans of his neck and head were conducted, revealing no injuries.Reflecting on the same, NASCAR insider Bob Pockrass asked Chase Elliott whether he would celebrate his win by climbing over his car after what happened to Zilisch. Elliott had a subtle answer ready and stated:"I think it's again, it was an accident. I, uhm, I don't fault him for enjoying his moment, and he rightfully earned that whatever he needs to do, so he should do it." [00:40 onwards]"If you win the regular season title?" Bob Pockrass further questioned.The HMS driver had a clear reply for this and said:"I don't know that that would warrant a climb. But if something warranted a climb, yeah, absolutely."After securing a P26 finish at Watkins Glen International, Chase Elliott is set to compete in the 400-lap Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway on Saturday, August 16, 2025.

We have to make sure we're doing our part, and I'm doing my part and just bringing everything I can possibly bring every single week. It's the honest conversations that we have on Monday mornings that are either going to make us better or make us fail. All of the pieces of the puzzle are there. We're working on the right things. I think I'm asking for the right things out of the car. I'm really proud of our team for just sticking together."
