The so-called ‘rivalry’ between Ross Chastain and Denny Hamlin had taken a few weekends off, but in the late stages of Sunday’s Quaker State 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, the heat between the two drivers returned.
While running inside the top-10, Ross Chastain made a move to the bottom of the track to go around Denny Hamlin, but got loose underneath him, tagging the No. 11 Coca-Cola Toyota Camry, which ultimately spun Hamlin around.
Brad Keselowski, Ryan Blaney, and Daniel Suarez all made some contact in the aftermath of the accident, causing minor damage to each of their entries. All drivers would be able to return to the race.
Ross Chastain gets into Denny Hamlin AGAIN.
