Not a very nice person then is he, but I know of a few other "Paid Drivers" like that too. Crash some weekend warrior who has barely enough to keep the car on the track. Then they go back to the pits & pull out a new car or parts & fix it. While the weekend guy struggles to just get car back in the trailer. Like to see tracks and/or sanctions toss people like this.

Chase is a decent driver. That being said. A lot of people think Dakota Jackson's flip below, was Chase's fault. I'm sorry Chase got wrecked intentionally by Cole, but I still think he's a heck of a race car driver. And really...I just don't care for Danica Patrick.

Maybe you should say these do not necessarily reflect to the views of Chase Stockon himself. Things happen on the racetrack it is what it is that is the past and Cole is on making a name for himself which means he will not be taking anyone in the open wheel world out. And I'm not taking sides but at some point everyone will make a mistake and learn from it.

Having no dog in this fight, anyone that thinks this flip was Chase's fault doesn't watch much racing. He held his line the entire way through the corner. First time seeing this video.

Anyway, I've seen Cole race plenty also, and really hope he finds success in Nascar. A darn good driver IMO.

It's one thing to stay attach to the bumper in the corner but, it's another to bump draft in the corner. He hit her going into the corner and that got her loose. As a matter of fact he hit once and then hit her a second time but, just a rookie mistake but he has time to learn how to draft. He even admitted he would have been mad if someone did that to him.

If you would go back and read, I was not refering to Cole wrecking Danica. Obviously, it was his mistake. There is no arguing that.

To crash someone is one thing but to destroy a race car & put someone in the hospital is wrong. There was an accident years ago in NHRA where a car broke crossed the centerline at the top end crashing the other person. Other person sued & WON, so wise up people. The fellow who crashed no longer races.

People make bad decisions sometimes that's for sure. But they r also goin 200 mph. I'm sure some bad decisions r made for them with the air and all of the elements.
