So don’t get involved, let drivers police themselves, you can’t straddle this fence. If you aren’t gonna let drivers do their thing, then commit to the other way and make it no contact
They love talking outta both sides of their mouth. They’ve aloud ross to race carelessly with their inaction.
It’s not difficult at all. Chastain has a history, and intentionally wrecked the 15 car. He doesn’t get ANY benefit of doubt.
Did Larson deliberately take Chastain out later in the race? No! Move on..
What Lyle Larson did towards the end is nothing compared to what Ross Chastain did.
@Big Hand – That was exactly my point..
Is anyone surprised a RWR car got ran over? Not an excuse for the 1 car but those two cars are consistently field fillers.
Its racing this stuff happens lol why does everyone act like its unheard of?? Look back at the last 15-20 years of racing it was way worse than this. Let the drivers handle there business in a safe and understanding manor.
History repeating itself, Chastain just drives thru the 15, didn’t try to go up, or down the track, just straight thru him and he gets away with it, that’s not racing, it’s Wrecking……
Chastain needs to get outta cup and go bk to arca and work his way bk up again, and maybe by the time he works his way bk up, he’ll drive better and have more respect. Bs Larson was mindin his own buisness, chastain could’ve prevented that, it was on purpose idc what he says.
He came in second last year in his first year in good equipment. I think he is a bigger talent than people give him credit for. I mean how many times did Larson, the supposed greatest driver there is, come in second during the playoffs when he wasn’t in the most cheated up equipment there is? Oh that’s right never.
I mean if Poole lifted and Ross was throttling up it’s a racing incident. Not defending Ross here because he’s been in this situation too many times but the 15 is a much slower car and usually in the way no matter who’s behind the wheel. Things like this have been happening in nascar for many years, the intimidator rattled many of cages and people loved it. I think it was a racing incident and Poole was rightfully pissed off and because of who it was that took him out it’s easy to go after Chastain
Idk, I heard Ross caused the wreck that Dale was killed in.
But it’s always the #1 lol
considering that one out of every five drivers that ross wrecks ever gets him back, he actually has a good ratio on his side.if every driver he wrecks demolished him in the next few weeks, he would change his approach pretty quickly.ross is forgetting that turnabout IS fair play.
Ask Denny how that worked out for him.
Well, NASCAR, let’s have a look at the data, and we’ll have the answer
Hmm. Didn’t seem difficult to punish Hamlin for trying to police Chastain’s nonsense…
Modern Day swerving Ervin….
NASCAR needs to just let it be, as they should with all incidents like this.
“It’s difficult”, as if they both haven’t done it before and they have zero data to go off of, lol
Why is the Media always trying to stir things up?? Then Elton really didn’t answer what Pete was trying to ask. Which I’m assuming, he was referring to Kyle blocking (race altering) Ross at the end of the race.
Hamlin chastin …Nascar
