Ross Chastain’s onboard camera has shed some light on why Martin Truex Jr. was upset with the No. 1 Chevrolet during Sunday’s Brickyard 400.
Truex Jr. was hoping to kiss the bricks and add a victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway to his illustrious resume during his final attempt, but it wasn’t meant to be for the Joe Gibbs Racing wheelman. He made contact with the wall, and it was elementary afterwards, as he never regained his momentum.
While the NBC broadcast caught Truex Jr.’s distain with Chastain, it missed their original contact that sent the No. 19 out of whack. Thankfully, Chastain had an onboard camera, which you can check out below, to see the No. 1 shove Truex Jr. from behind in Indianapolis.

As you can see, Truex Jr. was right to be a little peeved at Chastain. While the Trackhouse Racing wheelman has turned down his aggressive driving over the last year and change, he still occasionally finds himself in an unfortunate situation or two, and that’s what happened Sunday with the No. 19.
To make matters worse, Truex Jr. and Chastain both don’t have a win in 2024, so they’ll need to make the playoffs on points, unless they’re able to find Victory Lane before the cut-off. Neither has come particularly close in recent weeks, so incidents like the one we saw above are more detrimental than ever.
