Overview

  • On Lap 63 of the Grant Park 165, Ross Chastain deliberately rammed Joey Logano during a late restart, triggering a pileup that knocked Ricky Stenhouse Jr. out of the race.
  • Logano confronted Chastain on pit road after the race, where Chastain told him he had wrecked Logano on purpose.
  • Veteran Denny Hamlin joined other NASCAR insiders in supporting Logano’s call for a fine, arguing that the retaliation endangered uninvolved drivers and broke the sport’s rules.
  • NASCAR has not announced any penalties or fines under its “actions detrimental to stock car racing” policy, leaving the matter unresolved.
  • The incident has renewed calls for consistent enforcement of rules on intentional contact as the series approaches the playoffs.
