Ross Chastain's hopes of winning the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Championship are gone. Despite earning a second-place finish at Texas and a 10th-place finish at the Charlotte Roval in the Round of 12, Chastain didn't have enough points to get into the Round of 8 and continue on in this year's Playoffs. This weekend's race was another example of the No. 1 Trackhouse Racing team unable to find the speed to truly contend. Chastain has just two top-five finishes over the last 15 races, and only eight over the course of this entire season--significantly lower than the 15 top-five finishes he had last year. That's not the type of speed that a true Championship contender should have. Chastain acknowledged the lack of speed in his post-race interview at Charlotte, stating, "We knew coming in that it was going to be tough," Chastain said. "We put together a heck of a day for us on road courses this year in this No. 1 Worldwide Express Chevy. Lately, we've just been lacking speed and I can't get over the curbs."--Jordan McAbee
