Denny Hamlin seems to have done it again, reigniting his old foe, Ross Chastain, by pushing the latter’s car on the wall till it spun out of control. Speaking to the popular SiriusXM NASCAR.

Trevor said, “this, um, this whole situation to me is kind of childish in a way like you watch it all unfold and how it’s playing out, uh, you know, I, I think a lot of times racing incidents happen on the track, uh, you know you hear drivers talk about, I’ve got your number on my dash, I’m gonna get you back, I was never that driver.”

” I think it affected me if I had somebody else in my mind, that I was worried about checking off the list that, I was driving with my race, trying to get the best finish I could for my team.”

While at Pocono, Denny got some revenge when he ran Ross up to the wall. Soon at Martinsville, Ross came back with a spectacular move that later came to know as ‘Hail Melon’ to knock out Denny from the Championship 4.

This continued in Phoenix as Denny bumped into Ross creating a scene to which Trevor said, “I don’t like games, I understand when you gotta stand up for yourself, normally we see it happen in the moment when something happens and people are hot and their heads are boiling and, and they don’t really know how to handle that, they see red, uh, something like this seems silly.” WATCH THIS STORY: After his breakthrough, Ross Chastain plans to ‘work harder’.
