In a thrilling and contentious race at Darlington Raceway, Ross Chastain’s aggressive racing style came under scrutiny once again. Chastain’s on-track battle with Kyle Larson caused a finish outside the top 15 for both drivers and drew sharp comments from team owners.

The incident has now led to an ultimatum from Trackhouse Racing boss Justin Marks to Chastain, indicating that he needs to clean up his act on the track.

Hendrick Motorsports Owner Rick Hendrick Issues Warning To Ross Chastain

During one of the restarts at Darlington, Larson and Chastain found themselves vying for the lead on the front row with just six laps to go. As the battle intensified, Chastain attempted to maneuver his way past Larson but ended up pushing him into the wall instead. The incident not only spun Chastain out but also resulted in a 20th-position finish for Larson. This collision was just one of several run-ins between the two drivers during the race, reflecting an ongoing rivalry that has been brewing for some time.

In a post-race interview, Ross Chastain shed light on his side of the story. He explained his intentions behind the move that ultimately led to the collision with Larson, saying, “I fully committed into Turn 1 and wanted to squeeze Larson up. Didn’t want to turn myself across his nose for sure. Not how I wanted to be standing here talking to you all here.”

Chastain acknowledged the aggressive nature of his racing, but he also expressed that his actions were not intended to cause harm or result in a crash.

Rick Hendrick, the owner of Hendrick Motorsports, spoke out against Chastain’s aggressive driving style. As per Yahoo Sports, he expressed his frustration, stating, “It’s really getting old with these guys. I don’t care if he’s driving a Chevrolet if he wrecks our cars, I don’t care. I’ve told Chevrolet that. If you wreck us, you’re going to get it back.”

Hendrick emphasized his loyalty to Chevrolet but made it clear that he expects his team to stand their ground when faced with such incidents.
