Ross Chastain, No. 1 Busch Light Peach Camaro ZL1 – Sidelined by damage sustained in an accident in Stage Two.
What started that at the exit of turn three? Did you feel something, or did it just get away from you?
“I just spun out.”
Was it loose or tight during the race, or was that a surprise that it spun out?
“I just flat spun out. We were all sliding around, but I just spun out.”
Talk about your frustration right now, obviously not what you wanted..
“It felt like it happened in slow motion. Yeah, obviously frustrated with myself, but can’t take it back now.”
Are you feeling momentum sliding away after the last couple of weeks, or are you worried now about the bubble at all?
“I’m just worried about why I spun out. I’m a racecar driver in the NASCAR Cup Series, I shouldn’t be doing that. You don’t see us do that too often, so when I do it myself, I’m as surprised as everybody else.”
Can you go back and look at data? How much will data tell you?
“Yeah, but I was in the seat. I felt it slip and I didn’t catch it.”
Was there anything about the balance of the race car that indicated that was possible?
“Oh yeah.. they’re Cup cars, they can always spin out. But we’re supposed to be good enough to catch it.”
