Ross Chastain learning to handle role as villain as NASCAR heads to Darlington -
However, the NASCAR points leader says he feels more comfortable in his growing role as the Cup series’ reigning bad boy.
Chastain will start fifth on Sunday. Martin Truex Jr., who won this event in 2021, won the pole with Bubba Wallace alongside in second. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was third ahead of William Byron. Daniel Suarez starts sixth, ahead of Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin, Tyler Reddick and Brad Keselowski. There have been disagreements with Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney and even calmer, less confrontational racers like Martin Truex Jr. and Aric Almirola.
Chastain “getting blamed for everything that goes on on the damn racetrack is getting old, in my opinion,” Jarrett said. “Guys on the opposite side of the track are saying it’s Ross’ fault.” Out of the car, “I’m learning to be comfortable in this role,” he said. “I’m not the guy who grew up wanting to be on camera.”
