5. Ross Chasteen

Mike Davis is far from the only guy to fall victim to this, but, when talking about Ross Chastain in 2022, Davis instead said “Chasteen”. Dale Jr. gave Davis some flack for it, but Davis took it in stride, adding that he has messed up names far worse than that over the years. Hey, Chasteen is not that far off from Chastain.
