Ive liked Ross for a while now but i will say im glad he cleaned it up on the track but can still maintain an aggresive run. Congratulations to him on another first in the nascar record book. Congratulations to Blaney on his first championship
theres no better mirror driver in all of motorsports
@ranndomundead9112 not currently no
If the media had their way, Maybe just let 4 cars race this weekend every year and let the other cars have their own race. Lol. Come on it’s a race!! Everyone wants to win, no one will pull over. SMH.
Just what I was thinking. The young racer just whine to much.
For real. If that were the case why even show up if you’re not in the championship.
Today’s fans & drivers represent everything wrong with society. They all want a participation trophy and an ‘after you’ mentality on the track. That’s not racing. They’re also incredibly hypocritical with their views depending on who did what. Your fave driver uses the draft, door or bumper? Cool beans. My favorite driver does it and he’s an untalented monster 🙄
How do you not love this guy!!?? True racer
I was at Atlanta when Rusty won the race and Dale won his seventh they celebrated together, they told Ross to go to the other end of the track. Thats disgusting to me.
Did Blaney expect him to just get out of his way to win it?! It was a fair and clean race.
Now that Kevin has retired my new driver is the Florida watermelon farmer! I love Ross!
Hell yeah!
Good choice 🎉
Right? Last time I checked this is called “Racing”!!
@@Drnksuzy Yep! Peace ✌️!
Of course Ryan expected Ross to just give up the position without racing for it. These sons of famous fathers that raced are so spoiled they think everything should be just given to them
His answer was perfect, and his thought process was correct. It's a RACE, not a roll over and die for the other guy event. I don't care what 'implications' exist for a championship. He wasn't going to use physical contact because he gave him the courtesy of understanding there WAS a championship on the line. BUT, Dirty Air is fair game in ALL SITUATIONS... Ryan was just full of adrenaline, anxiety and frustration. Oh well, that's life Ryan. I'm a fan of BOTH guys, and frankly, if Chastain had just lifted and gave Ryan or any of the Championship 4 the lead and said well I'll finish 4th behind the guys for the championship, then why in the actual hell are there more than 4 cars on the damn race track at all in the last race? C'mon... At some point we have to remember. THIS. IS. RACING...
It's the way he went about it, and with Crashtain's reputation about using "physical contact" they can't know that for sure if he is going to race clean, lol. What goes around, comes around.
Why are people hating on ross he can drive and he drives for himself and the team what do you think every single guy out there was doing. Dude its a cup race and he won especially when the cup was on the line and he beat them straight up when tbey were primed for the championship race. Thats impressive. Im from up north but my family has always been in livestock and farming and i respect the hell out of this guy
Ross is our guy!
who's hating on him?
I love Ross he kicked butt today
@@marshalljimduncan nbc and Nascar was hating on him last night. 40 second interview 22 minutes after the checkerd. Now that is disrespectful
A few comments on this video were hating
Ross you are a class act worked hard and worthy of your wins. Can’t wait until next year good things coming for you and Trackhouse 🎉
Nothing but respect for
Ross The Boss Chastain.
🍉🏁🍉
The fact NBC didn't even say anything about Ross winning the race at the checkered flag says enough about what the media and NASCAR cares about here. Glad Ross won. He's my guy and the unapologetic nature he has is great.
Exactly they wouldn't even let him get the checkered flag at the flag stand made him leave the track even though he was the race winner!!!! No interview no nothing. Till they were going off the air and he got a quick 2 min chat out back by the haulers where no one could see.
It made me sick the way he was treated@@johnsnow1355
it legit took like 30 minutes for them to give ross 30 seconds on air
They don't show the after race interviews and stuff it sucks
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Go get em Ross!
Absolutely loved his 1st statement, that's a racer!
This is one of the greatest and most respected races that I've ever seen from Ross Chastain and I'm so proud of him. I've been a fan of his since he drove the number 77
Chastain Army strong!
ross the boss
@@Rook00right on
It always seemed rigged to me when only the top four in points won the races. Just seem to perfect to be true, Thank you Ross for ruining their entitlement
Yep another record book stat
They will punish Ross somehow next season.
Glad Ross didn’t hand 1st place to Ryan.
Dirty air is racing.
Blaney made an ass of himself. Shameful behavior on an otherwise terrific event. Nothing like pissing on your own shoes.
Track house has their drivers backs like no other team! I appreciate that!
Many years ago At the last race of the season Bill Elliott who was out of the points race was asked if he would race differently around the few drivers still in contention for the championship and he said no it wasn't his responsibility to do anything different it was there's since they were the ones with something to lose. That is the right answer well done Ross
Ross was racing for the win too He shouldn't of just given up the top spot to Ryan.
MTJ said it well afte one of his victories earlier this year " these things are hard to win".. Ross has every right to go for the win. His team put in the effort to send out a fast car and they deserved this win. Considering the 4 championship cars had all the bells and whistles and Ross beat them all is a massive achievement. The fact Ross raced so clean means he has cleaned up his act and that's gotta worry a lot of drivers and teams. Don't be surprised if Ross is champion next year✌
“I don’t care! 😂😂😂
Yep. Going for a win.
I'm NOT a Chastain fan-However I think he raced with respect and very clean. IMHO I didn't understand why Blaney let it get to his head he had to get around Ross. He should have just been somewhat content - not use up his stuff so to speak and cruised his way to a championship. He made it harder, got frustrated, etc. Anyway- Good job Ross on racing clean and the whole Champ 4 + Ross for doing that. Thanks for not making this the Truck series race.
Nerves. Blaney's nerves were frazzled. Anyone's really would be, we just saw it more openly from the in car camera with him flipping the bird etc... but everyone in that position feels it, or says something over the radio we don't hear etc...
True his nerves were frazzled. But if he just stopped for a second to see....he had the championship wrapped up so long as he finished second. I get it, he wants the win too...but clearly Ross had the better car all day. For Blaney to act so freaking childish was beyond me. I like Blaney, but after all that nonsense I like him a Lil less. Ross is my driver. Been following him a LOOONG time. Nascar and NBC did him dirty not airing an interview, watermelon smash giving him credit for winning the race NOTHING. That's extremely sad especially since he dominated that race. They should have given Ross some air time as well....a race win is a race win Championship race or not.
This is why I love this guy! Don't change Ross!!
I'm with ya.!!!
@@Mac-td7lt me three
Ross is a strong individual that is capable of outperforming all of his competition. He will be a multiple time cup champion !!!
Doubtful
He is a get it done guy if he has the equipment.
Kind of like the Hak DoucheRocket Dennis Hamlin? That's the way I see it.
He better get busy.
Ole Ross is a Boss!
Ryan should feel blessed that he didn't get
"Chastained "
Lmao
Love a Dale Jr creative quote
It was a Win Win for me. I'm a Ross Chastain Fan and I was rooting for Blaney to Win the Championship.. Great Racing 🍉🍉❤
That's my guy!! What a great interview.
CHASTIN was Racing a racecar. Get Over It, blaney.
Enough said
Yep!!!
Wow im surprised he even got a interview because tv and NASCAR didn't let him stop at the flag stand. No watermelon smash on tv infront of his fans. Nascar was totally unprepared for the champion not winning the race. 30 mins after the checkered flag they finally showed ross for 2 minutes before they ended the broadcast
Nascar will probably sit him down and ask him why he didn't follow the fix.
@@christopherwalker8327ikr
Good the real Ross is still here!
Amen! Chastain Army marching on!
Sounds like clean hard racing. I know they’re unfamiliar with it, but it used to be like that.
Ross was great! NBC coverage sucked, no pit times, cut to commercial with no audio while Ross and Ryan were in the thick of it and then ignored Ross’ win. I was pulling for Blaney and Larson. It was a fantastic race and Ross was huge part of that. 🏁
Best race win interview of the season!!!! Honest and entertaining
Was it John? Was it the best one of the year? LOL. Ross doesn’t talk like a drone. All the other drivers act like they read a script
wow !!! A DRIVER who wants to win
Congratulations Ross on your win ...... you are indeed a class act!! Our family has rooted./cheered/ yelled/fused and even cussed while cheering you on for the past 2 years and are looking forward to next year!
The way he raced Blaney and his attitude in interviews afterwards has made me a Ross fan. He’s a old school racer
There are 36 drivers out there and all they care about is the final 4 if that’s all there want to talk about and put on tv let just them 4 race. The race coverage was bias and horrible if I was Ross I would be so mad they could have cared less he won the race 20 minutes later they interviewed him after all the 4 losers of the race
Ross doing it right. You don't pull over for the playoff guys. Great win Ross.
We’re from southwest Florida about 40 mins from where his family’s watermelon property is , I’ve met him in Daytona and in homestead ! Such a down to earth guy !! We love him ! And man in person he’s small !
Chastain Army is strong!
Watermelons
I’m a Chastain fan now. It took a bit. I’m trying to be happy for Blaney but he’s a bit unhinged on the radio.
Blaney has always been a crybaby when it comes to Ross.
Yeah blaney is a mental case in the car. Would hate to be his crew chief/ spotter
Ross has finally shown his talent as a driver not having to wreck others to win. Much more likable.
So Ryan has already turned into a diva?
It would seem he does have a little entitlement fog present.
Drove his ass off!
There eventually gonna take race out of racing. This is so sad.
I think Ross should have been urinated off at Ryan for trying to knock them both out! Every time I try to be a fan, Ryan knocks me away further.
I can’t handle the way he loses his freakin mind in the car
@@izaiahdamato318 yep. Ryan can be a real cry baby bee aahhtch.
He doesn't care like the crowed didn't care about his victory burnout 😂. However. Ross hasn't won a race in awhile. It's the last race. So yes he had to do everything to be able to win. Blaney had a good amount of space from the other two Hendricks cars. So in reality Blaney (in the position he was at in the moment) didn't need to get that angry and almost wear out his car. So I ain't mad at Chastain or annoyed by it. He did good.
I use to be a Blaney fan
Crowd cared more about the melon smash then NBC did that's for sure
Blaney s crew chief told him to go up there and get the win. That was not very smart with everything on the line. He was in control of the championship. Thought they didn't give him the rite message, and could have cost him the championship. All it did was frustrate Ryan. When a cooler head prevails.
According to the booth Blaney was spewing expletives in the car because Ross held his ground.
Childish.
The Media Ask Some Of The Dumbest Questions
I liked Wolfgang's question.
Good on ya! Keep that Ford behind you!! Blaney is acting like the spoiled Penske driver just like Logano. Thought he deserved to get by you but ultimately you took the the win. Congratulations!
This is why I’m a Chastain fan.
Two of my favorite drivers going at each other. I absolutely loved it!
Congratulations Ross
The 1 had every right to go for the win. The 1 could have gotten angry about getting rammed into and put blaney in the wall, championship or not. blaney should show respect if he wants it in return. blaney is very lucky.
Ross had right mind set he came into this race with nothing to loose he already got his final finishing point for the season a few weeks backif I was in Rosses place I be racing this race checkers or wreckers that's how I would of raced this race and Ross did and it paid off he got the checkered flagand the winning payout for this race other than the top 4 got the big oh checks this week regardless
You were the man yesterday. I been wondering where you've been, yesterday you answered. Like to hear" we made adjustments and I drove away from them". There are some teams out there who can't do that.
It must feel good when your car is working and you are able to drive it the way you want and get to the front and then hold it, nice job to you and your team.
I like this guy more and more every day. He's a RACER - when did NASCAR not need RACERS
Ross Chastain could be the next intimidator with the right team and equipment!
Yep!!
I get what you’re saying but I don’t think he “intimidates” anyone. I think he’s just an aggressive driver. That’s not a slight against him, I just don’t see him in that regard.
@@misterslideways respect your opinion!
Let’s talk about it again in a year ?
@@misterslidewaysyeah let him get more sponsor dollars and better equipment that who will change ! Come on he already wrecked Gragson and then punched him in the face when he had a problem with it 😂 I see some intimidator potential , maybe not like Dale sr. But in the years to come I definitely see Ross being a bigger face in nascar As a aggressive driver and I definitely see wins in his future . He can qualify up front every week . Always has a fast car. And he’s got a HELL of a team and pit crew . Now Busch light as new sponsor , more dollars to play with , let’s see what he’s got next year I bet we see more than the 2 wins we seen this year 💯🏁🍉
@@misterslidewaysif you watched him up until Darlington this year you could see the drivers were very cautious around him. Hell Truex made a really odd mistake in three and four at Darlington earlier this year.
When the accident with him and Larson happened he really fell off and seemed to have lost his edge. I really hope it’s back. Drivers know he’s serious and wants to race them hard every lap.
Bring back season long points!!!
I love Blaney but agree with Ross here. Way to go Watermelon man
Ross Chastains win more important than Blaneys championship. Truth.
I’m a Ross fan for life
Same here, Ross is just a great racer
He talks humble about it always remembering where he came from and I love that
Congrats and what a great interview
Good on Chastain! Raced hard for position and for a win and he got it! He did his job, he should not be shamed for that.
I'm not a Ross fan; but I will say that Nascar and NBC did him wrong and in my opinion was totally distasteful, he won the race.
As a Ford racing supporter, gotta love Ross. 👍 He is quite a driver.
He didn't hit ya, he didn't bump ya, he rubbed ya, and rub in sun is racing
It's son, not sun
He ran directly into him
@@charstphyou got the point of his post right.
He hit in a corner no less.
He actually hit and bumped him lol
Thanks Kenny! Ross did nothing wrong. Blaney was expecting way too much from Ross. If you are going to race for the lead and disregard the fact that you could lose your championship bid,don't expect Ross to let you win. It is still a race after all!
This guy is smarter than the average bear
Hes great for the sport .
Not a Chastain fan. But racing is racing. He didn't do anything wrong yesterday. I understand my guy's Blaney's frustration. But hell, these guys should race their guts out.
It’s racing, not a big Ross fan. But he did his job!
Ross absolutely did the correct thing is there to win for his team and he did not affect blaney winning the championship 🏆. Blaney did not have to win the race to win the championship he just had to beat the other three. And of course Chastain would like to put another win on the books for college racing and himself 🎉🎉
Blaney expects everyone to just move out of his way when he gets up to them! He did it almost every time he got up behind somebody. Kinda reminds me of Bubba!!
That's exactly my thoughts!!!!
All he was doing was bitching, every car he couldn't pass and wouldn't just let him go.
I'm like WTF dude
@@Dougie1969and now youre bitching about the CHAMPION
@@sirearctic
I'm bitching??
Bahahahahaha
No, I'm merely explaining, EXACTLY what he did and said.
PS
I'm glad he won
He still whined like a little kid..
Sorry the truth hurts
Yep. He does his fair share of bitching.
The championship has gotten into his (Blaney) head
This is racing LOVE IT Way to go Ross your the man
Great interview from Ross he is not my driver but he will win championships and we need farmers for food he didn’t do anything wrong just good racing 🏁🏁
I wish you would have won this race last year and became a champion
Biffle used to win without being final four all the time. Harvick was trying to win and so was MTJ. I'm not mad at Chastain!
Its called racing, not move over and let me pass you.
Absolutely right!
Thanks for posting all of these interviews Herm !
There should never be an occasion that a driver should yeild a win for another driver, ever.
They were 32 going for a win and 4 going for a championship! Ross was 1 of those 32 and he got himself a win! Love or hate Him when Ross is on it he going to put on a show!
I started out wanting blaney to get the championship until he did what he did to ross. He didn't have to win the race, just beat the other 3 (2 after bell went out). No one in the lead would move out of his way. Blaney waa just completely disrespectful and rude. I love ross and trackhouse!! So happy for his win. Sucks it got overshadowed by blaneys championship.
Since my favorite driver is retiring, I've been looking for someone else to cheer for next year. I was kind of a closet Chastain fan before today. On track, his driving reminds me of Dale Sr. (RIP). He will be my #1 driver from now on.
Nascar, the media, and the Good Olde Boys Club whipping boy for three years now. No wonder he's got that attitude. Screw 'em. You be you, Ross, in the big picture of the race it made zero difference.
Have a feeling Ross is going to be a real contender for the championship starting next year. After making the final four a year ago and finishing second to Logano, 2023 was a lackluster year in comparison. Thought he would have found more success but after Chastain got chastised by Mr. Hendrick for overly aggressive driving it seemed like he was castrated. Since then he hasn’t been involved in any incidents so maybe he’s cleaned up his act, so to speak. All I know is he’s definitely talented, he’s got a lot of sponsorship dollars, especially with Busch now coming over (despite the AB controversy), he’s confident, and the 1 team is going to look to ride this momentum after just beating the newest champion in the final race of the season. I could be wrong, and often am, but watch for Ross in 2024.
This is a fantastic interview. Love Chastain's take on everything here.
90% of competitors would have answered the same freaking way.
Very good show Lad !!!
Ross is actually for me the face of NASCAR.
Race to win, race to give the fans someone to cheer.
Watching the Hendricks Drivers are like paint dry.
Blaney and Ross bring it on love it
Larson .. snooze
Byron.. snooze
Bowman … snooze
Can’t wait for Hooozevaaaar!
Chastian. My favorite driver. Dude loves to compete. Understand, we are all there to win. Period.
Good job Ross !!!!! Your team pays you to WIN RACES these reporters just don't get it. Go WATERMELON MAN !!!!!!!! Florida Strong
Thank you for this kenny
I say Go Ross🏁✌️
They need to go back to the old points system this playoffs thing sucks
Ryan Blaney is a punk.. He blocked you last year so Lagano could win . Ross raced clean and deserved to win..
Congrats to Ross.. love that guy! Cool how he he managed to do another "First ~ Never Done Before" ...again!
Congrats to Blaney on the Championship!
The last race should be just like the 1st 2st & 9th race . Race hard .
Hearing this makes me even more annoyed that candyass won the title.. 🤦♂️
If you think chastain did anything wrong go watch f1. Hell ross shoulda wrecked him at a certain point. Blaney was driving like an idiot
thumbnail is lookin wild-
