Joey Logano has urged NASCAR to fine Ross Chastain for crashing into him on purpose during the Cup Series race in Chicago. The incident occurred on Lap 63 in the final stage after Austin Cindric locked up in Turn 1.
Cindric made contact with Ryan Preece and Kyle Larson. Unfortunately, Larson was forced to hit Chastain, who spun out in front of Logano. Chastain was under the impression that Logano had triggered the incident.
As a retaliatory move, Chastain hit Logano in Turn 2, which catapulted him straight into Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Both cars spun out but were soon back in the race. Chastain went on to secure tenth place, while Logano finished eleventh. However, tensions flared up on pit road between both drivers after Logano confronted Chastain.
Logano mentioned that this was Chastain’s second incident with him this year. The pair clashed in Martinsville earlier, when Ross intended to take out Chase Briscoe but hit Logano instead. Speaking to Bob Pockrass after the Chicago street race, Logano said:
“He admitted it he wrecked me on purpose. He admitted it. Which means he should get fined if he admittedly wrecked someone on purpose. That’s not okay.”
When Pockrass said Chastain probably didn’t realize who triggered the incident, Logano said:
“Typical Ross. He just sees red and does dumb stuff. That’s twice this year on road courses at the end of these things I’ve been tossed by Ross.”
