It is safe to say Ross Chastain does not have too many allies in his Playoff campaign. The #1 Trackhouse Racing driver has built up a reputation for himself, of colliding with many drivers. In the buildup to the Playoff race at Kansas, Chastain was playing a game of Jenga, but with a twist. To be precise, every block had a question which he had to answer.

One of the questions was about which NASCAR driver will get their revenge against which other driver. This question really made him snicker, and then he proceeded to deliberately knock the tower down.
Of course, he avoided the question entirely, knowing that half the field was baying for his blood. Many fans found his reaction hilarious and gave their responses as well.
How did NASCAR fans react to Ross Chastain’s admission?
Several people joked that now that Chastain knocked the Jenga tower, the blocks might get revenge. Others noted that he dodged the question because there were many drivers who were seeking revenge. Some even warned that he may be laughing now, but that will last until someone takes him out of the race.
He knows half the grid is coming for him lol

Of course, so many people loved the fact that he was taking this well and was quite hilarious. Others were acutely aware that he would have a hard time in the coming two races. This is because all 16 drivers will be keen to try and escape the elimination zone. Considering that the first Playoff race at Darlington was a rough day for many drivers, the competition will be fiercer.
At least he’s funny https://t.co/UYw3abt0La

Now, everything depends on where the Top 16 qualify for the coming race at the Kansas Speedway. As long as Chastain does his level best to stay clean, it will only improve his chances of making it through to the Top 12. The best case scenario is if he wins at Kansas or at the Bristol Motor Speedway.
