It was a moment that had fans clutching their bellies in laughter. Chase Elliott, the NASCAR superstar and the No. 9 driver for Hendrick Motorsports, was “forgotten” by his own team in a hilarious video skit released by Hendrick Motorsports. 

The twist? The Hendrick Motorsports team was reacting to a Chase Elliott plush doll, the latest fan merchandise from the racing company. You’ll never guess how they responded when asked if they knew who it was!

Hendrick Motorsports team’s hilarious response

The scene was set with Elliott’s crew gathered around, eyes filled with curiosity and a slight suspicion. A representative from Hendrick Motorsports holds up the plush doll of Chase Elliott, complete with his iconic race suit and number 9 embroidered on it. “Do you guys know this guy?” they asked.

Hold onto your hats; the crew’s response is nothing short of comedic gold. “Never seen him before in life,” they replied. The deadpan humor was so impeccable that it left viewers questioning whether the team had collective amnesia for a split second. “Do you want to do an interview real quick?” One crew member didn’t miss a beat. “Uh, no, I don’t,” was the dismissive yet humor-filled response.

Though the plush doll sparked belly laughs, it is Hendrick Motorsports’ latest addition to their fan merchandise. Lovable and collectible, this Chase Elliott plush doll is expected to race off the shelves just like Chase Elliott runs around the tracks.
