Kaulig Racing announced today that Ross Chastain will return to the NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) in 2019 with new partner, Nutrien Ag Solutions. Chastain, scheduled to compete for the championship in the Xfinity Series, will partner with Kaulig Racing and Nutrien Ag Solutions in the season opener at Daytona International Speedway on February 16th. He will also pilot the No. 10 Nutrien Ag Solutions Chevrolet at Chicagoland Speedway (June 29th) and Texas Motor Speedway (November 2nd).
“I’m thrilled for this opportunity with Kaulig Racing,” said Chastain. “We’ve had quite the roller coaster of emotions in the off-season, but I am really looking forward to competing for wins this season. It is also a great honor to have a new sponsor on board with Nutrien Ag Solutions. Partnering with Nutrien Ag Solutions is a natural fit for me with my family’s legacy as watermelon farmers, and I’m excited to represent their growers and employees.”
Kaulig Racing enters their fourth season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Ramping up their stable this season, Kaulig Racing has added a second entry, the No. 10 Chevy.
