That’s why we made the decision to become the primary sponsor for the rest of this season,” Hamilton said. “Ross knows how to have fun while always competing at the highest level. His celebrations of success have not gone unnoticed by Nick Hamilton, Co-Founder and Principal of CarShield. It’s a nod to his roots as a watermelon farmer in Florida during the off season.
Chastain Keeps Up His Melon-Smashing Tradition in a CarShield-Sponsored CarĬhastain likes to celebrate his wins by smashing a watermelon in victory lane. Undeterred, Ross and his team redoubled their efforts and made the risky decision to skip a pit stop and reclaimed victory the very next week. To make matters worse, the team suffered a devastating setback to their budding momentum when their victory at Iowa Speedway was stripped away due to a disqualification just days after his intentions to compete for the championship went public.
In order to clinch a spot in the playoffs, NASCAR dictated that Chastain would have to win at least one race, and finish the regular season in the top 20 in driver points standings. Ross made the mid-season decision to change his points declaration and endeavored to earn a spot in the NASCAR Gander Outdoor Truck Series playoffs. Since then, he has visited victory lane once more, accumulated 6 top five finishes, and has led the pack on the track for 282 laps.Īll of this is a noteworthy accomplishment considering that this season has been an unorthodox and bumpy road for Chastain and his team. That win on June 22 was Chastain’s second official win of the season and propelled him into playoff contention.
That race ended with Chastain capturing the checkered flag and pulling into victory lane.
