“Wrecking Everyone Is Hard Work” – NASCAR Fans Cut No Slack to Ross Chastain Despite an Impressive P2 Finish in a Damaged Car

Ross Chastain had some race at Atlanta. The Trackhouse Racing gun plowed through the field yet again on at least three different occasions before registering an impressive P2 finish at the end.

It was during one of his three plowing expeditions, the first in fact, that left some significant damage to the right front of his Chevy, something his crew fixed quite efficiently with the magic tape.

After the race, NASCAR’s official Twitter handle, keeping in mind the damage to the #1 and the P2 finish, made a sly remark about Chastain’s “disadvantage”.

“P2 might’ve had a slight aero disadvantage,” the tweet read.

But it was pretty clear that NASCAR fans weren’t in the mood to appreciate Chastain’s ‘heroics’ with the damaged car. In fact, what came his way was a flood of criticism for his driving style and what he did during the race.

In their post-race interview, both Ross Chastain and Denny Hamlin pretty much took the route about their views on the incident that was expected of them.

The Trackhouse Racing driver admitted that along with the effects of the damage that he incurred earlier in the race, it was his fault for what happened with Hamlin.

“It was totally my fault with the 11. I had damage from earlier, got tight and it just went up the hill,” Chastain admitted.

On the other hand, Denny Hamlin felt it was yet another “unfortunate circumstance” for Chastain, what happened. When questioned whether the #1 driver be able to win or at least, challenge for the championship with the way he’s driving, Hamlin chose not to judge the other driver.

Instead, he took the opportunity to perhaps suggest where he is with Chastain mentally.

“Everyone has their different tolerance levels … I’ve reached my peak,” Hamlin said.
