And stayed true to form on the final restart as well. Everyone behind him might as well have pulled in to the garage at that point.

You're trying to explain to me why this was all on Chastain, are you not?

It’s not because I’m a “hater” or my judgement being “cloudy” if it was, I would have also blamed him for the MTJ accident, would I have not?

The old boy is getting tired of the Chastain crash damage rebuilds.

As an admitted fan of Ross Chastain, I’ll say this:
He needs to realize he’s not driving Johnny Davis turd mobiles in Xfinity anymore. He doesn’t need to lean on everybody to squeeze out a 18th place finish and get noticed.
That aggression and ability to wheel a car past its limits is what got him here. But there has to be some finesse. He’s got the talent. He can win on any track any given week. He’s got a great car owner in his corner and a team on the rise. It’s time to stop trying to prove yourself to everyone and let results speak for themselves.
Go out and dominate a race start to finish and get a win. Without being balls deep in the middle of controversy.

You're not an ignoramus, so no, I don't think you'd blame Chastain for Truex's incidents.

Justin Marks has repeatedly said he doesn't want Ross Chastain's mentality to change.

Well thanks. But I’m not blaming him for whatever reason you want to think. Just my personal opinion on the matter.
Chastain has talent but he is driving over his head most of the time.

That was blatant over driving. Lost the front end completely.

Bingo. If he ever figures out how to actually not do that, he’s going to start to rattle off wins.

Justin Marks is trying to sell a brand which is smart. Richard Childress did the same thing. Just wait if Anheiser-Busch signs onto the 1 team next year.
It’s time to start turning that aggression into more wins and championships. Ross needs to put the black hat away for a few weeks and go rip it.
Joey Logano did it. He’s now a 2 time champ. Dale Sr roughed people up all the time but usually ended up in victory lane because of it. All of Chastain’s run ins end up in wrecked cars and costing a win or podium finish.
The problem for Chastain is that he’s tearing up a lot of other people’s equipment and he’s pissing everyone off.

But on the other hand, he is right up top in the points. That doesn't count for some, pretty important for others. It ain't like he is a backmarker like some act like he is,

I love this forum.
This is exactly why Ross is good for the sport right now, as much as he pissed me off this season.
Sometimes we have races where the forum dies after the checkered flag. Now, Larson fans, Ross fans, and somehow Elliott fans are all getting dragged.
And it's just so so great.

People are going to start racing Ross like he’s racing them. Someone is going to hammer him into the wall.

Which worries me. I just hope whenever it happens, he doesn't get hurt.

Oh yeah, I even told my dad today after that "Well, I wonder what car Carl might race in next season."

I could see Carl Edwards signing with Amazon (or Apple) to co-announce the Summer Series.

Who's leading the points that actually matter? You know, the Playoff standings? Willy B I would have to guess.

Yeah I don’t even pay attention to the points anymore, just the playoff picture.

Jeff Burton will be back in a few weeks to remind you that EVERY POINT MATTERS!!!
Blaze

Exactly, cause once the playoffs start, Ross can lead the points all the way up til then, if he doesn't have the most wins, or collect a lot of playoff points with stage wins and such, he's dropping. At least leading the points gets you in the playoffs, so he's got that going for him.
But no wins.

I know my good pal SOI can't wait for that, he just loves himself some NBC Announcers and won't complain at all about them.

no problem, living in your head for free is enough for me.
That point system is a thing of the past. Without a win, he gets eliminated.

He has a couple other short track races scheduled this year but no other mile + tracks.
He said the car wasn’t safe enough for tracks any bigger/faster than that and that he was only racing today in order to be elegible for NWB next week. So we will him haakn next weekend.
