Welcome to FTW’s NASCAR Feud of the Week, where we provide a detailed breakdown of the latest absurd, funny and sometimes legitimate controversies and issues within the racing world.
Ross Chastain scored his ninth top-10 finish of the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season Sunday at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway, finishing eighth behind winner Joey Logano. But the No. 1 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet driver didn’t exactly make a ton of friends along the way.
What’s more, Chastain — one of four drivers to have two race wins so far this season, including Logano and Denny Hamlin — admitted he was in the wrong for getting too aggressive at times. And looking ahead to this weekend’s race at Sonoma Raceway and what’s left of the 36-race season, he’s now bracing himself for (more) payback from Hamlin and Chase Elliott.
Let’s break down what happened between Chastain, Hamlin and Elliott on Sunday during the Cup Series’ first-ever race at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway.
