“Looks like we’re a casualty of Ross Chastain once again,” Dillon said. “I told myself we were gonna race hard all day. It wasn’t one of those things where I wanted to ride in the back and be at the end.”

“But when you’ve got guys like him out there wrecking half the field, you might as well pick a different strategy.”

Then there’s what Aric Almirola said about the Trackhouse Racing driver. Almirola too seems to have lost his patience with the #1 after an incident during the battle for the 15th and 16th place.

“He’s a f*cking idiot, and he knows it,” he said of Chastain.

Ross Chastain knows he’s attracted a bit too much attention to himself

In a recent interview, Ross Chastain described that if he can just “clean up” some parts of his driving style, if he can “race with a little cooler head”, he can still do what he wants to do “a little bit better way.”

“I’m all for … being you know, the show sometimes, and I’m good, I’m OK with that. I’ve accepted that, but I probably don’t need to be it every single week,” Chastain said.
