Ross Chastain, who has had a big first season for Trackhouse Racing, has
featured prominently in a few of those. He has clashed with Hamlin, had a
starring role in a wreck that put a good dent in Kevin Harvick's title
chances and had his name converted to a verb by Kyle Busch. Getting wrecked
by Chastain is now, in NASCAR parlance, getting "Chastained."
