NASCAR driver Christopher Bell<\/strong> of the Joe Gibbs Racing team will be without his crew chief for at least a few weeks after Adam Stevens<\/strong> revealed he suffered a brutal injury in a diving accident.<\/p>\n

Stevens joined SiriusXM NASCAR Radio<\/a> to discuss the incident, which occurred when he was on a family vacation over the break.<\/p>\n

NASCAR is currently in a holding pattern on break thanks to the Olympics going on, and many drivers and crew chiefs have taken some much needed rest and relaxation while away from the sport.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, for Stevens that ended in disaster.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were swimming in the pool Saturday afternoon taking turns diving off the diving board with the nieces and nephews and my kids and doing flips and just enjoying ourself,\u201d Stevens explained. \u201cI felt like my flips weren\u2019t quite as impressive as my 15-year-old son, so I amped my game up a little bit and it was fine. Another turn through the line and try a little harder. They were getting prettier. My last trip, probably ever now at this point, I just jumped a little too hard and loaded up a little bit too much on the end of the diving board and ruptured both my patellar tendons at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stephens had to undergo surgery to repair both knees, so he\u2019ll be sidelined for quite a bit<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Chris Sherwood<\/strong> will serve as Christopher Bell\u2019s crew chief. That will force a little adjustment in terms of chemistry, so it\u2019ll be interesting to see how the team fares.<\/p>\n

As for Stevens, he was just enjoying what he thought would be a laid-back few days with family.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, you know, I was just enjoying some down time with the family,\u201d he said. \u201cWe ventured up to my hometown of Portsmouth, Ohio, to see some aunts and uncles and cousins and family that I haven\u2019t got to see. Got to see my sister and my mother, a couple of my sisters actually that I do get to see. It was just a good time. Played a lot of golf and went swimming and hung out and just enjoyed each others\u2019 company.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then, of course, there was the infamous diving incident.<\/p>\n

For Christopher Bell, things are going just fine this season. While he sits at eighth in the current points standings, he already has three wins and is locked into the playoffs.<\/p>\n

So making sure the team is operating smoothly the next few weeks ahead of playoffs will be key.<\/p>\n
