AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Ross Chastain skyrocketed to motorsports infamy for wall-riding his way into NASCAR’s championship race with a video-game style move that has overshadowed the finale and his fellow title contenders. It puts pressure on the eighth-generation Florida watermelon farmer and journeyman NASCAR driver. He’ll race Sunday at Phoenix Raceway for his first Cup championship against Christopher Bell, who is also in the finale for the first time. Chase Elliott and Joey Logano are both racing for a second title.
