The 2023 Circuit of the America cup race is special for multiple reasons. It will be the first Road Course Race without any stage break and will hold one of the most talented ringers line-ups ever. Former f1 world champions Kimi Raikkonen and Jenson Button are joined by IMSA Sportscar racing champion Jordan Taylor.

The big miss for fans, though, is the absence of Chase Elliott, arguably the most gifted Road Course driver in the Cup series ever. Elliott is out due to a tibia injury from a skiing accident. He is replaced in the No:9 HMS Chevy by Taylor. Elliott was the inaugural race winner at COTA and finished P4 last year when Ross Chastain won the event. He is just two weeks away from breaking jeff Gordan’s al time road course race win record and has won in all road courses except Indy and Sonoma.

Fans were excited about the announcement and quickly shared their views on the decision. They also wished the HMS driver a quick recovery from the injury before the foxed 6 weeks break. Few also use the opportunity to troll other drivers and their scheduled fellow broadcasters.
