CHASTAIN FAST AT TALLADEGA

TALLADEGA, Ala. – Ross Chastain has run only three NASCAR races at Talladega Superspeedway, but he has an interesting history at the track.

Chastain finished third in a Camping World Truck Series race at NASCAR’s biggest track in 2013, showing that he quickly picked up the intricacies of running well in Talladega’s big drafting lines.

That knowledge will be of good use to Chastain Saturday as he drives in the Sparks Energy 300 Xfinity Series race at the fast 2.66-mile track.

“Racing at Talladega is a whole different kind of animal,” Chastain said. “It takes a lot of patience and is really stressful mentally. But if you can hang with the front group there, you have a real chance to do something big.”

Chastain will drive the Flex Seal Chevrolet for JD Motorsports with Gary Keller in Saturday’s race.

Practice sessions are scheduled at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. (ET) Friday. Qualifying is set for 10:30 a.m. Saturday, with the race to follow at 3 p.m.
