Hendrick Motorsports is facing escalating worries as fans express concern over Chase Elliott‘s performance in the 2025 NASCAR season, with many drawing parallels to Kasey Kahne‘s late-career struggles. Despite retaining fourth place in the driver standings, Elliott’s lack of laps led compared to his Hendrick Motorsports teammates has ignited a wave of passionate reactions, leaving both the team and its supporters anxious about what lies ahead. After 11 races in the 2025 season, Elliott has led a mere 44 laps – a number far behind Kyle Larson’s 503, William Byron’s 354, and Alex Bowman’s 107 laps led.
