CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Chase Elliott is making his return.
NASCAR’s most popular driver announced on Wednesday afternoon that he will be back in the No. 9 Cup Series car for Hendrick Motorsports this weekend at Martinsville Speedway.
This will be the first time Elliott has run a Cup race in five races. The 27-year-old sustained a fractured tibia in his left leg (braking leg) as a result of a snowboarding accident a few days before the race at Las Vegas the first weekend in March.
