Summary
Chase Elliott said breaks for fly fishing, golf, hiking and snowboarding are not optional luxuries but necessary resets during NASCAR's February-to-November grind.
The 2020 Cup champion said the strain comes less from 38 races than from a season that consumes nearly 10 months of travel, preparation and competition.
Elliott warned drivers who lack ways to step away risk being mentally worn down, especially when results turn bad, and said returning with the right mindset helps both performance and team environment.
Colorado remains central to that escape: Elliott said his childhood there shaped his love of outdoor activities, and he still tries to use western race swings to spend time there.
