CHASTAIN RETURNS TO CHARLOTTE

CONCORD, N.C. – After a disappointing finish last week in Iowa, Ross Chastain hopes to get back on track in Saturday’s Hisense 300 Xfinity Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Chastain will drive the Flex Shot Chevrolet for JD Motorsports with Gary Keller in Saturday’s 300-mile race, marking the one-third mark of the 2015 Xfinity schedule.

Chastain, who is 14th in Xfinity driver points in his rookie season, has raced twice in the Xfinity Series and twice in the Camping World Truck Series at CMS. He finished ninth in a truck owned by former Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski in 2013.

“I like the Charlotte track a lot,” Chastain said. “If you have the right hookup there, you can separate yourself from the people around you. Takes a lot of horsepower, but it’s a handling track, too. The turns can be tricky.”

This week’s unusual schedule will have Xfinity drivers practicing at 4 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. (ET) Thursday. The track is closed Friday, and the Hisense 300 is scheduled at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, following qualifying at 11:15 a.m.
