FYI: Plate racing at tracks like Daytona and Talladega can either be filled with crashes and flips or be filled with side-by-side racing. Sunday's race had a little bit of both, which provided entertainment for the fans. Manufactures worked with one another to win the race, and Ross proved that the winner can only lead one lap and still win the race. On the last lap of the race, Chastain was third behind Erik Jones and Kyle Larson and both drivers did all they could to win. Sadly, Larson pulled out of line and Jones blocked his momentum which allowed Chastain to make his pass for the win. Watermelon for everyone! Congratulations to Ross on earning his second victory of the season and his career too.
Next race: Dover Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon (5-1-2022).
