Keselowski and Chastain face playoff setback with Talladega wrecks
Chastain was the first driver to retire from the race after a collision on the final lap of the opening stage. He attempted to pass through a four-wide situation but collided with Kyle Busch, causing his car to spin out and end his race. On the other hand, Keselowski had a better day as he won Stage 2 and earned valuable points. However, with less than 30 laps to go, he crashed out of the race when he tried to push Carson Hocevar and caused a chain reaction of cars crashing. Keselowski finished 33rd and was now on the bubble for advancing to the next round. Despite the disappointment, Keselowski remained proud of his team’s efforts and performance. Chastain, who started the day with a 12-point advantage, now found himself trailing Keselowski by nine points for the final transfer spot. He acknowledged that he made the wrong decision by trying to maneuver through a four-wide situation and expressed regret for not lifting.
