Like a FarmerRoss Chastain Ends 203-Day Top-5 Drought + Catching Watermelons
Ag to Asphalt presented by Fresh From Florida is back as Ross Chastain catches us up on a wild few weeks on and off the track.
Ross starts at Daytona International Speedway, where the No. 1 Trackhouse Racing team captured the pole with NASCAR's new superspeedway rules package. Then it's on to Darlington Raceway, where Ross doesn't sugarcoat a difficult weekend for the team, before breaking down a much different day at World Wide Technology Raceway. Ross takes us inside his late-race strategy, somehow keeps the car out of the wall during a spin, and battles his way to a fifth-place finish, his first NASCAR Cup Series top five in 203 days.
Away from the track, Ross and Ben recap their trip to Buffalo, checking out the Bills' new stadium and Ross taking on Dion Dawkins' viral challenge of catching an oiled-up watermelon.
Then, in this week's Georgia Boot segment, Ross sits down with Mike Roberts, front tire changer on the No. 1 car. Mike shares his journey from chasing a baseball career in North Carolina to breaking into NASCAR, learning the art of changing five-lug tires, winning races with Ross, helping his hometown after Hurricane Helene, and what life looks like away from pit road with his family, horses, and farm.
Finally, Ross looks ahead to Bristol Motor Speedway and another action-packed NASCAR weekend.
