It’s entirely on brand for Ross Chastain to race at Watermelon Capital Speedway, right?
The NASCAR Cup Series contender will drive the Rackley WAR No. 25 in the Pro Late Model portion of Speedfest this weekend. Practice and qualifying is Friday while the race for both the Pro Late Models and the Super Late Model main event is on Saturday.
“It’s going to be a lot of fun racing with Rackley WAR in the Protect Your Melon – Buckle Up SpeedFest at Watermelon Capital Speedway,” Chastain said in a press release. “With Cordele being the Watermelon Capital of Georgia, this a perfect race for me to run to get prepared for the start of the racing season, while also reminding everyone to Protect Your Melon and Buckle Up on the road.”
Like I said, on brand.
Chastain last drove a Late Model at North Wilkesboro in May when he competed in the CARS Late Model Stock event in advance of the All Star Race that weekend.
Rackley WAR will have Dawson Sutton and Gavin Boschele in its Super Late Models this weekend.
“Our whole Rackley W.A.R. Late Model team is pumped to have Ross in the No. 25 Pro Late Model at SpeedFest,” said team co-owner Willie Allen. “Cordele is a cool and unique racetrack and always provides some really great racing.
“We’ll have Dawson Sutton and Gavan Boschele in the Super Late Models and to add Ross in the Pro brings all the necessary ingredients for a really big weekend for us.”
