NASCAR Spotter Claims Public Enemy No.1 Ross Chastain is the “Dale Earnhardt Nice Guy” Kind of Driver

During a recent episode of Door Bumper Clear podcast NASCAR spotter, Brett Griffin describes the peculiar thing about Ross Chastain. Brett went on to make references and compared him with Dale Earnhardt to make a point about Chastain.

Brett said, “Only thing Ross has done all year, is pissed off a bunch of people. He’s got AJ Allmendinger mad at him, got Joey Logano mad at him, he’s got Denny Hamlin mad at him I’m sure I can keep going. He’s sitting there pretty much locked in going to round 3 of this playoff based on the playoff points and how fast he is.”

He added, “He’ll do anything the sponsor asks him to do. If you say Ross we need you to drive down to Florida in seven hours and do a 15-minute autograph session he’ll literally feel like he’s gonna tell you yes.”

“You don’t get that out of the guys at the cup series. Very humble guy, hardworking blue-collar guy, and when he’s gotta wreck to win guess what, he’ll do it. He’s like the Dale Earnhardt nice guy. Dale Earnhardt was not a nice guy on the racetrack.”

Ross Chastain argues his Atlanta incident with Denny Hamlin was different

Back in Atlanta, Chastain managed to clip Denny Hamlin during the closing laps of the race. This caused Denny to spin out from his 4th place.

Ross claimed that the Atlanta crash was completely different from other instances, as he received a hefty amount of damage as well. Denny was in contention within the top 5 throughout the race until that spin sent him all the way back to 25th. During an interview, Ross said, “You all know that I would take full responsibility if I just ran into him.”

Subsequently, after the crash, Ross claimed that due to the damage suffered, his car was significantly harder to drive through the corners.
