Ross Chastain Quote“Summertime Daytona race. This was the site of our first victory [at Daytona], both for myself and in the team’s history last year. We went to victory lane in this Xfinity race last year. I’m looking forward to it again. Kaulig Racing always brings super fast superspeedway cars. It’s incredible. It’s unlike anything that many of the drivers, including myself, have ever driven. We’re able to be really aggressive, and we’re also able to work together, as you saw at Talladega, which is a similar package. It took all three of the Kaulig Racing cars to work together to push Justin Haley to the win. We want to do the same thing. We want to control the race. I think we are starting second last I checked. It’s just a dream to drive racecars that can close that bubble. You hear drivers talk a lot about the bubble – it’s just the aerodynamics. Once you get close to the car in front of you, it wants to push that car away. As racecar drivers, we keep things really simple, so you can think of the analogy of popping a bubble and getting right to their bumper. Our cars can do that, so hopefully our Nutrien Ag Solutions No. 10 car can go to victory lane again.”
