For a few weeks at least, NASCAR driver Christopher Bell of the Joe Gibbs Racing team will be without his crew chief following Adam Stevens’ revelation that he sustained a severe injury in a diving mishap.
Stevens talked about the incident, which happened while he was on a family vacation during the break, on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
Because of the ongoing Olympics, NASCAR is now on hiatus, and many drivers and crew chiefs have taken advantage of the opportunity to unwind and recover.
Sadly, that turned out badly for Stevens.
“On Saturday afternoon, my kids, nieces, and nephews and I were having fun in the pool by taking turns diving off the diving board, flipping around, and generally having a good time,” Stevens narrated. “I thought my son, who is 15 years old, was doing flips more impressively than I was, so I raised my game a little bit and it worked out fine.” Try a little harder and make another turn through the line. They were becoming more attractive. I simply leaped a little too hard and loaded up a little too much on the end of the diving board on my most recent trip—possibly the final one ever—and simultaneously ripped both of my patellar tendons.
Stephens will be out for some time as a result of the surgery he had to have to fix both of his knees.
Christopher Sherwood will take over as Christopher Bell’s crew chief in the interim. It will be interesting to observe how the squad performs because that will require some chemistry adjustments.
For his part, Stevens was content to spend a few days with his family in a relaxed manner.
“Yeah, you know, I was just taking advantage of some family time,” he replied. We traveled to Portsmouth, Ohio, my hometown, to visit several relatives who I hadn’t had the chance to see, including aunts, uncles, cousins, and other relatives. I was able to see my mother and my sister—well, two of my sisters—this time. Simply put, it was enjoyable. liked each other’s company while hanging together, playing a lot of golf, and swimming.
And there was the famous diving incident, of course.
For Christopher Bell, this season is going great. Despite being ranked eighth in the current points standings, he has three wins under his belt and is guaranteed a spot in the playoffs.
Thus, it will be crucial to ensure that the club is playing well in the final few weeks leading up to the playoffs.
