Ross Chastain Charlotte Trucks Preview

 

Ross Chastain (@RossChastain), driver of the No. 19 Melon 1 Ford F-Series, will make his third start for Brad Keselowski Racing (BKR) during the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 this Friday, May 17th.

 

Melon 1 will serve as the primary sponsor of the No. 19 BKR (@TeamBKR) entry this week for the second time this season. He is on deck for three more entries this season as primary sponsor.

 

This Friday will be Chastain’s second career NCWTS start at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Chastain’s first start at Charlotte came last May in the North Carolina Education Lottery 200, where he started 18th and finished 35th due to engine trouble.

 

Chad Kendrick will lead the No. 19 Ford F-Series team as crew chief in Charlotte.

 

The No. 19 Brad Keselowski Racing entry currently sits 13th in NCWTS Owner’s points, 58 points behind the leader.

 

 

“I can’t wait to get back in the Watermelon Ford F-Series for Brad Keselowski Racing at Charlotte this Friday. Last year I had a tough race at Charlotte, because we blew up on lap 12. This year I expect to be fast and competing right up to the end — hopefully taking these guys to Victory Lane for the first time of the season. We look to be fast all night and Charlotte Motor Speedway is the right place for speed.” – Ross Chastain
