Kyle Busch Misses Out On Valuable Points After Getting Dumped By Ross Chastain
3 months agoKyle Busch got Ross Chastain'd at Sonoma on Sunday. On the final lap of the Toyota/Save Mart 350, Busch was running inside of the top five when a hard-charging Ross Chastain was behind him. Chastain ended up going into the corner a little too fast and got into Busch, spinning out the No. 8 Chevrolet in the process. Chastain went on to finish fifth while Busch was relegated to a 12th-place finish after the incident. After the race, the Richard Childress Racing driver stated, "A couple of guys there at the end of the race had better tires than we did but we were going to have a good day. Unfortunately, one of those guys got into us on the last lap and ruined our day. It's frustrating to not get the finish that we deserved." This could have Playoff implications as well, as Busch effectively lost seven points on that final lap at Sonoma, and he is now eight points back from the bubble for the postseason.
