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.”

The Playoffs: Chastain enters Saturday’s race third in the driver point standings. Following Saturday’s race, the playoff field will be trimmed from eight drivers to six.

Chastain at Talladega: Saturday’s race will mark Chastain’s fourth NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series start (NGOTS) start at Talladega Superspeedway.  In his three previous starts, Chastain has two top-15 finishes, with his best finish of third coming in 2013.

The Alva, Florida-native has five NASCAR XFINITY Series starts to his credit at the 2.50-mile track.

In addition, Chastain has three Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series starts at Talladega Superspeedway.

On the Truck: CarShield continues to support Chastain and the No. 45 Chevrolet.
