ROSS CHASTAIN TO CUT OFF MULTI-YEAR CONTRACT EXTENSION WITH TRACKHOUSE

On Wednesday, Daniel Suarez signed his own multi-year contract extension with Trackhouse. Just one day later, his teammate Chastain has done the same.

The eighth-generation watermelon farmer and 30-year-old racer was also named the NMPA Driver of the Year last month. He’s won multiple races in the Xfinity and Truck Series, along with his two Cup wins last year. He claimed his first victory at COTA, dramatically moving A.J. Allmendinger out of the way a couple corners shy of the finish line. Just weeks later, he won with yet another last-lap pass for the win at Talladega Superspeedway.

“Ross is the type of driver and type of person we want representing Trackhouse Racing, our employees and our corporate partners,” said team co-owner Justin Marks. “You saw what Ross did with us in just our first year together and we think the future is even brighter. He brings a determination, dedication and commitment to his job on and off the track that uplifts everyone in our shop. I’m proud he is part of our organization.”
