NASCAR: ‘If you wreck us, you’re going to get it back’ – Rick Hendrick

Car owner Rick Hendrick issued a warning to wanker Ross Chastain after Kyle Larson was wrecked for the third time in the last four races due to Chastain’s actions.

Lacking talent, Chastain overdrives the car to compenstate and wrecks everything in sight

“I don’t care if he’s driving a Chevrolet if he wrecks our cars,” Hendrick said of Chastain, who drives a Chevy for Trackhouse Racing. “I don’t care. I’ve told Chevrolet that. If you wreck us, you’re going to get it back. If you don’t do it, they’ll run all over you.

“I’m loyal to Chevrolet, but when somebody runs over us, then I expect my guys to hold their ground. I’m not going to ask them to yield just because of Chevrolet.”

“He doesn’t have to be that aggressive,” Hendrick said of Chastain. “I guess at this point in the race maybe you’re super aggressive, but you just don’t run people up in the fence. He’s going to make a lot of enemies. It’s hard to win a championship when you’ve got a lot of paybacks out there.”

“I would think Justin would have a conversation” with Chastain.

As for the message Marks should deliver?

“If you have a lot of people wanting to pay you back, then it’s hard to win a championship that way,” Hendrick said.

As for all the incidents with Chastain, Hendrick said: “It’s really getting old with these guys.”

<p”>Hendrick said he didn’t know if Chevrolet could cool the situation because it wasn’t the way they usually operated.

“It’s either NASCAR or the drivers, the owners,” Hendrick continued. “You’ve heard the pit crew say before, we like it. We don’t care if people like us. We’re here to run over and win.

“If it doesn’t change, he’s going to have a hard time winning a championship.”
