NASCAR Senior VP Scott Miller Admits It Was “Miserable” to Watch Denny Hamlin-Ross Chastain Beef Unfold on Track

Following Sunday’s race at the WWT Raceway, the Ross Chastain and Denny Hamlin squabble was all that anyone could talk about. Chastain made a nuisance of himself and annoyed many drivers with his antics. None were more furious than Denny Hamlin, who decided to get his revenge. In light of the race, NASCAR senior vice president Scott Miller talked about the matter.

Miller said, “We don’t like to see things like that. There’s a certain amount of, we kind of have to let them handle it on their own somewhat. What we saw, we were annoyed by it. There was no real contact. They tried to make life miserable for us. We all witnessed that. At least we didn’t see a blatant take out or anything like that.”

“It was obvious from Ross’ post-race comments that he’s made some mistakes out there and wants to make it right. It’s kind of up to those guys to sort it out and move forward from there. We’ll obviously keep a close eye on them as we do in all these situations.”
