Ross Chastain

The punishment comes after Denny Hamlin admitted to intentionally going after the Watermelon Man in Phoenix.      

NASCAR stars Denny Hamlin and Ross Chastain have quite the history of run-ins, with Hamlin bearing the brunt of the incidents.      

NASCAR figured out a way to make what Ross Chastain did at Martinsville Speedway less desirable for other drivers to emulate. 

Chase Elliott clipped the nose of Ross Chastain, effectively ending his chances of winning the 2022 Cup Series championship.

After peppering Ross Chastain with questions ahead of Phoenix, could Joey Logano be the next to use the Melon Man’s maneuver?    

Ross Chastain used a daring, video game-style move to secure a spot in the Championship 4, and it was all caught on "Race For The Championship."

NASCAR’s COO Steve O’Donnell says Chastain’s spectacular maneuver was legal, and he doesn't anticipate a rule change before the Cup Series Championship in Phoenix, but the league reserves the right to revisit the issue in the offseason.

The Watermelon Man seeks to cap off his improbable season, which began as a 150-1 longshot to win the title, by hoisting the Cup Series trophy in Phoenix.   

The Watermelon Man joins Joey Logano, Christopher Bell and Chase Elliott to compete for the Cup Series title in Phoenix.

Ross Chastain could use the "timely" victory in more ways than one.
