Ross Chastain on Racing at Talladega: “Talladega is definitely a wild card in this playoff,” said Chastain.  “There’s a lot that’s out of our control, so we’re going to focus on the things we can control.  I know this team will bring a fast CarShield Chevrolet Silverado.  We’ll do our best to stay out of trouble and put ourselves in contention at the end of the race.  I enjoy superspeedway racing and am looking forward to Saturday’s race.”
