Moose Fraternity NASCAR driver Ross Chastain had a good day out near the cornfields of Iowa last weekend, leading 40 laps and competing for a top-ten finish at the Iowa Corn 350. A small break near the end of the race would have put Chastain in a position to win, however, the caution that the Trackhouse Team was looking for never materialized. Chastain eventually finished seventh after pitting during a green-flag lap near the end of the race.
“It was an incredible weekend for this No. 1 Chevrolet team. It was just a complete weekend from the very first lap. We made very small changes all weekend. We just made a few air pressure adjustments, a couple tenths here and a couple tenths there throughout the race, and really, we could have left it alone. To run in the top-five and take a shot at those guys, I love that Brandon McSwain (crew chief) swung for that. A seventh-place finish still feels really good. I don’t care about points unless the speed comes with it, and today was the speed we are looking for.” – Ross Chastain
Ross next moves to the Richmond Raceway this Saturday night, August 15th, for the Cook Out 400. Chastain had a top-five finish at Richmond two years ago, so members will not want to miss this race. He currently stands at 18th in the Driver’s Standings for the season, having moved up three spots following his performance in Iowa. He has only three regular-season races left to move up at least two spots to make it into the season ending playoff Chase.
Members looking to watch Ross race this weekend can find the Cook Out 400 on USA starting at 7:00pm ET this Saturday, August 15th.
