Chastain wasn't remotely near anyone to wreck because no one races alongside the wall there.
Before entering turn 3 he got against the wall floored it and took his hands off the wheel.
If his tire went flat, which happens when you rub against the wall.
If a part broke, which happens when you rub against the wall.
If the safer barrier had a dent in it.
If a chunk of tire rubber fell on to track surface.
Any of these could have caused him to bounce off the wall into oncoming traffic.
If any of these happened he could control the car if he has his hands on the wheel.
Without his hands on the wheel there's no way of controlling car if something happens.
While there are times during a crash in progress you should let go of the wheel to prevent a broken hand.
The situation he was in is not a proper time to take his hands off the wheel.
