This is bad: Kevin Harvick reveals NASCAR is tormenting Chase Elliott
Chase Elliott is the last representative of NASCAR’s storied bloodline. Throughout the history of the sport, many superstar drivers have come from legendary racing families such as the Pettys, Earnhardts, Wallaces and Allisons. However, over time this trend faded, leaving only Hendrick and his motorsports as the last stronghold of these great traditions. Being born into a family of drivers brings certain advantages and access, but it also comes with great burdens. These drivers must always strive to live up to the legacy and accomplishments of their predecessors. Chase Elliott, in particular, faces the daunting task of matching the extraordinary achievements of his father, a former champion. To others, this standard may seem unattainable.
In a recent episode of the Happy Hour with Chase Elliott podcast, the 2014 Cup champion spoke about the immense pressure that drivers like Elliott and Dale Jr. face. He said that this pressure is unfair and something that drivers cannot escape. In the same podcast, Chase Elliott said that his passion for racing comes from the competitive nature of the sport. He emphasized that this motive has always been a force in his life since childhood.
As the driver of the No. 9 car for Hendrick Motorsports, Elliott has already stepped out of his father’s shadow and established his own legacy by winning his championship. But he has a lot to contribute to the sport and the fans who have inspired him. No doubt they want to see him finish his career as a multiple champion.

Christopher Bell explains why they won’t any Big-3 in the Next-Gen era
While further talking about the Superstar of the sport, he pointed out that in the Next-Gen era, the parity on the field has increased to level in which every week at least 15-20 cars are in the fight for victory. So the type of serial race winners from the Big-3 era might never return.
Bell is right saying the Next-Gen cars have change the game for everyone involved and there might not be time where fans can see a mega domination from a driver. So, NASCAR has to come up with more unique ways such as the Netflix documentary to make the sport better.
