Truex should be little upset, but notice how he handled it like a man and talked to Ross.

[@blacklisterd]

A man owns up to his mistakes. He wrecked himself on the last lap. He should owning up to his crew

[@StreamwoodExplorer]

@@blacklisterd Never going to happen. Truex is always right. He does nothing wrong. It pretty obvious what happened too. Truex intended to cross over Ross but didn't expect Ross to protect the bottom and give him a lane up top. Instead of taking that run to the top, Truex acted like the child he usually acts like and ran into the back of Ross just perfectly enough to upset the car enough to expose Truex's running out of talent. Then he's got the gall to be upset with someone else over him wrecking himself on a straightaway. JGR Equipment > MTJ Talent

[@timmyhillfacts6455]

@@blacklisterd He didn't wreck himself, look at the replay for gods sake. Chastain chopped Truex's nose, plain and simple. He blocked a guy who had a run and was 2 inches from being beside him, which you can clearly see from Chastain's bumper cam. You just don't do that, because this is what happens, and he should've known that. I assume it was just a lapse in judgement from Chastain.

Truex is a champion driver who speaks when he feels it’s needed. I’m not going to act like truex is the guy I’d expect to seek revenge. But I definitely think Ross will be raced hard by Truex now.

[@gatling216]

Near as I can tell, Truex and Chastain were racing hard on the last lap. Truex had a run, Chastain went to block, and Truex spun. The great debate is whether Chastain's block was too late, or whether he had a right to his lane as the car in front. Depends on who you root for, I guess.

[@gotemlookin20]

I love nascar. Especially all the ignorance that some fans portray regularly. I mean it’s not even about what’s right anymore. It’s literally about just finding any argument you can use against someone else. People generally have differences of opinion on a lot of things. Even so there used to be a baseline of what’s right and wrong. There isn’t a line anywhere anymore and it’s sad to see ignorance on display and nothing to keep it in check…

[@Redslayer86]

Having gone back and reviewed the 2 angles available, this appears to be the case of truex trying to wreck the 1 and failing. There was space on the outside and he didn't go for it. Or maybe, it was an attempt at a cross over and he didn't expect the one to leave the top open. Either way this one falls completely on Truex. It was such an odd looking spin that an intentional turn seems more likely, and based on how much Truex has displayed his hatred of people not pulling over for him in the past, I'd say it was a failed attempt.
