Chastain on making his fourth NASCAR Camping World Truck Series start of the 2022 season at Charlotte Motor Speedway: “Our No. 41 Worldwide Express team is looking forward to building on the strong runs we’ve had this week in Charlotte. The intermediate package we have at Niece Motorsports has shown a lot of speed and it’s only a matter of improving the end result. I know the hard-working people at Niece Motorsports will have a fast Chevrolet Silverado prepared for us. I’m looking forward to having another shot to run up front with Worldwide Express and the Georgia Watermelon Association on board.”
