Taking four new tires on his final stop, Chastain nearly ran down eventual winner Martin Truex Jr. – who took two – over the final seven laps but came up just short in Monday’s rain-delayed race at Dover (Del.) Motor Speedway.
While Chastain’s back-and-forth battles for the lead first with William Byron and then Truex left the outcome in doubt, Chastain again found himself the target of criticism for an early-move incident that ruined the races of Brennan Poole and Kyle Larson.
