Another race weekend and another vendetta against Ross Chastain. What else is new? This time, his victim is Xfinity Series driver Sheldon Creed, and Creed’s team was none too happy. Apparently, there was contact between the two drivers, and the #2 driver was not at all thrilled.

In the end, Creed could only muster a disappointing 23rd place. Meanwhile, Chastain found himself in a fine 4th place, behind AJ Allmendinger, Alex Bowman and Justin Allgaier.

Meanwhile, Chase Briscoe rounded out the Top 5 Xfinity Series drivers. Owing to the contact and subsequent spin, Creed is the latest driver to have a vendetta with Chastain.

How many drivers have Ross Chastain annoyed in 2022?

Arguably, the Trackhouse Racing driver has made a lot of enemies. Chief among them is Denny Hamlin, who he has tangled with on multiple occasions.

One significant incident was at the Gateway race, where Chastain dumped Hamlin in the wall. He has also tussled with Ryan Blaney, with a notable incident at Richmond.

Later on at Dover, he spun Martin Truex Jr around. The two of them later had a small confrontation after the race and plenty of words were exchanged.

In the Gateway race, Chastain’s next victim was none other than Chase Elliott. The #9 Hendrick Motorsports driver got spun around when the #1 car got down his inside and tagged him.

Ironically, during one of the restarts at the same race, Ross Chastain found himself next to Hamlin and Elliott behind him. At the Sonoma Raceway, he also got caught up in a small scrap with defending champion, Kyle Larson.

Now, Creed finds himself being added to that growing list. At least Hamlin and Elliott were able to tag-team and make Chastain’s race difficult at Gateway.
