After finishing runner-up to Kyle Larson at Nashville, Chip Ganassi Racing’s Ross Chastain was looking to ride the momentum into a strong run at the Pocono Raceway.
He’ll have to dig himself out of a hole following a lap 73 caution involving the Florida driver.
Chastain exited turn 2 too high and pancaked the wall. Once Chastain reached turn three, the No. 42 Camaro took a spin before entering pit road.
