Overview
- On the cooldown lap, Daniel Suárez pulled alongside Ross Chastain, who then doored him down the backstretch before both returned to pit road side by side.
- The drivers exited their cars and exchanged heated words next to Chastain’s No. 1, with brief shoving before they were separated, according to Motorsport.com.
- Suárez told Frontstretch they “got together a little bit in corner two,” described trading paint on the cool down, and characterized Chastain as “two-faced.”
- Both finished the race without incident-related retirements, with Chastain 17th and Suárez 18th at Las Vegas.
- Dash-cam footage and a pit reporter’s post captured parts of the exchange, including Chastain saying “get out of here,” and NASCAR had not announced any action.
