Ross Chastain Unlikely To Repeat Martinsville Miracle
1 year agoRoss Chastain made himself a household name in racing circles by way of his wall ride to drive from tenth to fifth on the last lap at last year's Martinsville race, which became fourth when Brad Keselowski was disqualified after the race. While that move will continue to garner abundant media attention, short tracks have not been Chastain's forte. Both he and teammate Daniel Suárez have below-average speed percentiles on short tracks this year and have rarely contended on them this year. People forget that Chastain needed to attempt the wall ride because he was kind of slow. Although Chastain's season is better than it looks, don't expect him to pull off another Martinsville miracle tomorrow.
