NASCAR Fans Call Ross Chastain the New Brad Keselowski After Kyle Busch Gets “Chastain’d” in Richmond

Another day, another race, another incident incited by Ross Chastain. And as we’ve now come to expect, the driver on the other side was indeed a Joe Gibbs Racing driver.

But it seems lately Chastain has been wanting to try out new victims instead of the usual fella that goes by the name of Denny Hamlin.

Because last week it was Christopher Bell in Michigan, and this time around at Richmond Raceway, it was Kyle Busch.

Naturally, NASCAR Twitter was flooded with reactions to Chastain wrecking yet another JGR driver, for the second week in a row. Many were quick to criticize the driver for doing what he does, but some also questioned his sheer audacity.

Joe Gibbs Racing driver wants more respect from Ross Chastain on track

After Ross Chastain wrecked Christopher Bell in Michigan, the JGR driver responded by first, admitting his own mistake for not being clear. But later, Bell described what he would have done if he was in Chastain’s place.

“I’ve been put in that exact same position on the flip side, probably 30, 40, maybe 50 times this year and, you know, I’ve lifted. So I made a mistake, but he had an option to lift and cut us both a break, and he didn’t and we wrecked,” he said.

The JGR driver emphasized that in NASCAR, drivers need to have the all-important aspect of respect for each other. “This sport is a game of respect, and I try and race people how they race me,” he added.

With that being said, the way things are going, if the other drivers that Chastain has wrecked, which is a lot, do decide to race him as he races them, then it won’t be too much of a stretch to say that the Trackhouse Racing driver is in for a tough time in the playoffs, one way or the other.
