Ross Chastain is done playing nice. After carrying Trackhouse on his back for over a year, the former underdog is starting to sound like a driver who knows exactly how much he’s worth, and he’s not afraid to say it. With Kansas Speedway around the corner, where he’s a proven threat, Chastain is speaking out about the team’s lagging speed and Saturday struggles, and he’s doing it loud enough for everyone, inside and outside the garage, to hear.
- Why is Ross publicly calling out Trackhouse’s poor performance?
- What did he say about the team’s “terrible” unload speed?
- Is he hinting at a potential move away from Trackhouse?
- And how does a rising rival, once mentored by Ross, factor into the pressure?
This isn’t just about lap times anymore. It’s about respect, value, and knowing when a driver outgrows the car he’s been handed. Chastain’s climb from watermelon fields to Cup contender is legendary, but now the script might be flipping, and Ross is tired of waiting for everyone else to catch up. Kansas might be the turning point, or the tipping point. Think Ross is right to speak out? Or is he pushing too hard, too soon?
