Ross Chastain Spin Sets Up Lap 330 Wreck — Nascar Results Today
Nascar results today centered on a late wreck, not a finish. A massive multi-car crash on Lap 330 brought out Caution No. 9 at Charlotte Motor Speedway during the closing stages of the Coca-Cola 600. With fewer than 75 laps remaining, the race was suddenly on edge again.

The crash exploded down the backstretch and into Turn 3. Ryan Preece, Josh Berry, Chase Briscoe and Chris Buescher were all collected in the wreck, turning the final quarter of NASCAR's longest race into another reset.
Ross Chastain had already sent the race into caution earlier on Lap 317 after spinning on the backstretch following contact. Replay footage posted later showed his No. 1 Chevrolet sliding across the backstretch with smoke pouring from the tires.

The earlier caution set the tone for a rough stretch at the end of Sunday night’s race. On the radio, one spotter said, “47 just wrecked him,” while another voice added, “I think he tried to block and we didnt move, so …”
Those exchanges matched the hard edges of the final laps. The Lap 330 pileup came in NASCAR's longest race, and it collected four drivers when the field had already been cut down to the closing run.
The next stretch of the story belongs to the wrecked cars and the race control decisions that followed. With Caution No. 9 already on the board and the leaders still running fewer than 75 laps from the finish, the order at Charlotte was going to be shaped by whoever avoided the next hit.
