Chase Elliott won’t stop snowboarding or any of the other off-track activities he enjoys, even after an accident in Colorado sidelined the perennial winner of NASCAR’s most popular driver honor with a broken leg.

Elliott will return this weekend at Martinsville Speedway after missing six Cup Series races since a March 3 snowboarding accident led to a broken tibia that required surgery.

“I wasn’t out doing anything that was wild or crazy,” said Elliott, an experienced snowboarder. “I don’t have a cool story to tell. It was just that perfect storm that could happen at any point in time.”

The 27-year-old Hendrick Motorsports driver from Dawsonville, Georgia, underwent surgery the night of the accident and revealed Thursday that he has screws in his leg near his left knee.
