The accident took place on Friday in Colorado, and has forced Elliott to miss a Cup race for the first time since the 2015 season when he was only running part-time.
Elliott, 27, suffered a fracture of the tibia in his left leg. A three-hour surgery on Friday night was called a success by HMS, and they have yet to set a timeline for his return. The team would only say that they expect it to be several weeks.
