Chastain makes an early exit at Talladega, playoffs in jeopardy
Ross Chastain regrets attempting a risky move that ultimately took him out of the race at Talladega Superspeedway. He tried to shoot the gap between Kyle Busch and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in a crowded lane but ended up colliding with both drivers and spinning in front of Christopher Bell. Chastain acknowledges that it was a mistake to try to make such a small opening with two other drivers beside him. The incident caused significant damage to his car, resulting in a 38th place finish without earning any stage points. As a result, Chastain is likely to fall below the playoff cutoff going into the next race at the Charlotte road course.
