CHASTAIN HAS BRISTOL SUCCESS

BRISTOL, Tenn. – Ross Chastain is ready to challenge Bristol Motor Speedway again.

Chastain finished 27th in mid-April in his first Xfinity Series race at the track. Chastain also has Camping World Truck Series experience – including a top-five run – at the half-mile track.

“Bristol is one of my favorite places,” Chastain said. “The sensation of speed there is just incredible. You’re barely out of one corner when you’re plunging fast into the next one. The laps are very quick, and you have to be on your toes all the time.”

Chastain, driving the Flex Shot Chevrolet, sits 14th in Xfinity driver points entering the race. Twelve races remain on the 2015 schedule.

Practice is scheduled at Bristol at 9 a.m. Friday. Qualifying is set for 3:45 p.m., with the race to follow at 7:30.
