Ross Chastain (@RossChastain), driver of the No. 19 Melon 1 Ford F-150, will make his 14th start for Brad Keselowski Racing (BKR) and his second start Homestead-Miami Speedway during Friday night’s Ford Eco Boost 200.
Chastain will be making his third start at the South Florida track after having a very solid finish there one year ago, where he started 18th and finished 10th.
Chastain will have quite the Melon 1 support at the track this weekend, as he grew up in nearby Alva, Florida.
So far in 2013, Chastain has an average finish of 12th at mile and a half tracks.
Crew chief, Chad Kendrick, will call the shots for Chastain.
The No. 19 BKR team now sits fifth in the NCWTS owner points standings, 53 points back from first.
“This is a huge race for me since I’m from South Florida and I will have quite a bit of family members on hand. I can’t wait to get out there with one goal of putting the Melon 1 Ford in victory lane. I am so grateful of the opportunity Brad Keselowski has given me this season to drive his Truck.” – Ross Chastain
