Ross Chastain hopes to use a road course to make a big rebound this week.
After running very strong in last week’s Xfinity Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway, a late-race accident left Chastain with a 32nd-place finish. As he pursues a spot in the first Xfinity Chase playoff, he’ll be shooting for a high finish in Saturday’s Road America 180 at the 14-turn Road America course in Wisconsin.
Chastain has high hopes because he’s finished well in the two previous road-course races this year – 14th at both Watkins Glen International and Mid-Ohio.
“Our road-course cars have really been good, and we need a really good run this week after the Bristol problem,” Chastain said. “Our guys have been working hard on giving us the best cars possible, and I think we’ll be a strong threat at Road America.”
Chastain is 13th in Xfinity points, one spot out of Chase qualification. Four races remain in the regular season.
