Ross Chastain and Ryan Blaney are once again engaged in a heated argument against each other. Last week’s race in Las Vegas will be remembered for the dominance of an unnamed driver in his HMS car. However, behind the leaders, Blaney and Chastain were battling it out to prove who was superior. In the midst of this, another driver has inserted himself into the situation and encouraged them to continue their rivalry on the track.
Blaney finished on the podium, while Chastain secured a fourth-place finish after a fierce battle with the defending champion. During their altercation, fans witnessed the Ohio native retaliating by performing some aero-blocking. This has created tensions between the two drivers and their feud has spilled over off the track.
Chastain received a penalty for speeding in the pitlane and was trying to make a recovery drive when he was hindered by Blaney. The former champion only added fuel to the fire. Harvick has a history of such behavior, as he was also involved in a similar incident with Brad Keselowski and Jeff Gordon. Fans are hoping that the situation can be resolved quickly so that the drivers can focus on the upcoming race in Phoenix this Sunday.
Harvick has achieved numerous victories at Phoenix and has a total of nine wins at the track across different divisions. He recently revealed the secret to a perfect lap at the raceway on his Happy Hour podcast. As a former commentator, Harvick explained the strategies and racing lines that should be utilized on the track. Due to the track’s characteristics, overtaking can only be done on the start-finish straight. Harvick advised drivers to give it their all after the final corner and focus on getting a strong exit.
Despite Harvick’s recommendations, the drivers will be prepared to engage in a battle at Phoenix. Fans around the world are eagerly anticipating and hoping for a new winner when the checkered flag waves.
