ROSS CHASTAIN THE ROCKETSHIP

Ross Chastain just locked himself into the Championship 4 in the craziest way possible.

He and Denny Hamlin, who have been beefing all season, weren't racing for the win, but instead the last spot in the Championship 4. Denny has the edge on the last lap, and almost to the finish line. Had he got there first he would've been thru to the final four.

I was fooled thinking I had 3 of my 4 predictions for the Championship 4 correct. The announcers even credited Denny with getting to the line first.

While I'm a relatively new NASCAR fan, I've never seen anything like that move before. It's great to see the drama attracting a new audience.

PFT tweeted too but that's for 999 club members eyes only.

Some, like defending Cup Series Champion Kyle Larson, weren't fans of the move

But Handsome Hank was
