WATCH: Chase Elliott Busts the Myth on “Team Orders” & Reveals Hendrick Motorsports Plan for its Four Drivers Heading Into the Playoffs

With 2040 playoff points, Chase Elliott is all set to enter the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs. With a great regular season behind him, Elliott seems to be in good form. Winning the regular season title, Elliott now has his eyes on the Cup Series.

In a recent interview posted by ClassicCars TV on YouTube, Elliott revealed the team’s plans for the four Hendrick Motorsports drivers.

Since Elliott’s on-track tussle with fellow teammate Kyle Larson, there have been some talks. Rumors surrounding Hendrick Motorsports taking steps to curb incidents like these have also surfaced. During the interview, the host asked if there are any team orders or commands about racing other teammates in the line. Refuting the existence of any such orders, Elliott said, “No, no team orders.”

Explaining how Hendrick Motorsports owners do not interfere with their race, Elliott said, “Look the bosses never made anybody, you know, pull over to win a race or anything like that.”
