NASCAR Cup Series star Chase Elliott recently participated in a festive challenge alongside his Hendrick Motorsports teammates Kyle Larson, William Byron, and Alex Bowman. The quartet engaged in an entertaining guessing game centered around decoding a mysterious Christmas ornament.
Chase Elliott, who secured a victory at Texas Motor Speedway in April 2024 to end his 42-race winless streak, was both confused and amused during the light-hearted activity. The 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion joined his fellow HMS drivers in attempting to identify what appeared to be a holiday decoration.
The video, shared on X by Hendrick Motorsports' X account, features each driver's attempt at identifying the object.
In the clip, the drivers can be heard making various guesses, with comments like,
"I don't understand"
"Christmas tree-ish"
At the end all the guys do guess the correct answer. As can be seen in the video they do have an idea about what it is from the beginning but have their doubts somehow, all leading to the unanimous recognition in the end- a christmas ornament.
William Byron ultimately comments:
"You guys gotta get some more difficult ones."
