New Headline: Chastain's Team Slams Driver's Rude Reckoning

Motorsport photo In 'The Long Run' vlog, which you can watch HERE , Daniel Suarez offered additional comments regarding the on and off-track clashes with Ross Chastain last weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The two drivers were teammates at Trackhouse Racing between 2022 and 2025, before Suarez and the team parted ways. Now driving for Spire Motorsports, Suarez explained the entire sequence of events that led to the post-race confrontation between himself and Chastain, laughing as he called him his 'enemigo.

' The initial contact First, the two drivers made contact in the opening two laps of the race, with Suarez saying in the vlog: "I feel like everything kind of started on Lap 2, actually Lap 1 and a quarter. He crowded me with the #38 [Zane Smith] and he hit me right there. It wasn't a big deal, you know.

That's a racing deal. I never even thought about anything, I never raced him hard because of that or anything. I moved on, that's racing.

I'm pretty sure he didn't mean to do that, it's part of racing. " The late-race pass Much later in the race, Chastain began to run Suarez down as he struggled with the left-front tire on his #7 Chevrolet. Chastain passed him to the outside with just over two laps to go, and there was some very close racing as he went by.
