Believe it or not, NASCAR drivers have a life outside of racing some of the wildest hot rods around circles. And, like many of us, they also go out on dates and meet new people and like to have fun. However, we all would have had some dates that were really just more of a disaster. It’s almost impossible to have all the perfect dates. And, NASCAR drivers are no exception to that. In fact, NBC had a Valentine’s day special interview with the Cup Series drivers, asking about their biggest date fails. However, the one that struck out from the rest was the Hendrick Motorsports driver, and the winner of the race at Dover, Chase Elliott’s date fail.

He talks about how he offered to get the tickets and meet her at the stadium when he said, “I’ll get the tickets and meet you there”. However, she insisted to get the tickets herself as she said, “No I’ll get the tickets”. A surprised Chase Elliott said, “It was in her hometown, maybe she knows somebody, you know?”. But, things turned the other way around as a suspicious Chase Elliott said, “Prior to the game, how I got the email with the tickets “. And, his suspicions came true as he added, “Come to find out, I watched like half the game by myself”. His date didn’t even show up until half the game was over! However, it wasn’t all bad for Chase Elliott as he said, “Luckily she did show up”. Yet, he still feels that it was pretty bad, and he isn’t to blame for thinking that way. In fact, he even doubted her as he said, “You wanted me to go watch this baseball game by myself? Which I did.”
