Chase Elliott has had a forgettable 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season. That's because it's been memorable for all the wrong reasons. A snowboarding accident that sidelined him for six races was just the beginning. NASCAR added to his misery, suspending him after he intentionally wrecked Denny Hamlin at the Coca-Cola 600.

Those combined absences have put him way behind in the points standings. For weeks, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and others believed the 2020 champ could get it on points. That mindset changed at New Hampshire with another lackluster performance. Now, the No. 9 team is in a must-win situation.

Recently on his podcast, Earnhardt talked about the upcoming playoff bubble battle and said it should be interesting to watch. And then Junior got brutally honest, suggesting if the 27-year-old driver doesn't make it, he'll not only be incredibly embarrassed, but he should expect big changes to his team in 2024.
