Unlike Dale Earnhardt Jr, Chase Elliott Has Never Peed Inside the Car

Nature’s call can get the best of everyone, and NASCAR drivers aren’t immune to that call, having to do their business in the suits. But there’re some drivers like Chase Elliott who have battled such urges and come out of it unsoiled.

Much like everyone else, drivers also need to urinate every once in a while. Especially considering the fact that they spend anywhere between 2–4 hours, sometimes even more, in the car driving. And they can’t just park the car and put the race on hold to go take a leak, can they? Yep, they just go on their suit if they really need it.

As gross as it might be, it’s pretty normal for drivers who are literally pumped full of adrenaline throughout the race. But it’s a big no-no for some, even if they need to go really badly. Chase Elliott is one of those drivers, and he is very proud of never having done so.

In a recent over-the-phone interview on the Heidi and Frank Morning Show, Elliott said, “Hey, I am very proud, to this juncture of my career, I have not had to. I have not had to make that happen. […] Like I was saying about the environment being so hot. You’re sweating so much that yeah, typically you can’t drink enough. Throughout the day, you can’t hardly keep up with what you’re sweating.”

The 2020 Cup Series Champion does sound pretty damn proud about that! Almost as if considering it an achievement. However, not every driver is in the same league as he is.

Dale Jr is no match for Chase Elliott

Dale Earnhardt Jr can’t consider himself in the same league as the Hendrick Motorsports driver when it comes to peeing in the car, though. Because Junior might have let the bladder overtake him on track sometimes.

The Hall of Famer once told Fox Sports, “If you can hold it, you hold it. If you can’t hold it, you go.”

He did complement Elliott’s reasoning though as he further said, “It’s not too often that this happens because the car is real hot and you sweat a lot and you basically lose all your water weight through sweating, so your bladder never fills up.”
