“He got by me one time, was not going to run him up, pinch him up,” Chastain said. "Yeah, I know he’s mad and I don’t care. I do not care. I did not care then, I do not care now. I’m here to race him.
I’m not going to wreck him. I gave him the bottom most times. One time I was inside of him after he got by me. I crossed back over into three and I made sure to wrap the bottom. I’m not going to slide up and pinch him at all.
It’s in my mind the entire time, for sure”.

Ross knew what his driving would do to Blaney. Nevertheless, Ryan can be happy that the race is over and that he managed to win the championship. “I didn’t see apparently there was — I was number one, I don’t know.
… I was like, Oh, he is angry”. Source: on3.com
