Ross Chastain Explains New Hampshire Engine Failure + Daytona’s BIG Change

On a new episode of Ag to Asphalt Presented by FRESH FROM FLORIDA, NASCAR Cup Series driver Ross Chastain is back on the farm to break down a busy stretch of racing and look ahead to the regular-season finale at Daytona. Ross starts with Richmond, diving into tire falloff, race strategy and how he leaned on fellow Chevrolet driver Austin Dillon for advice heading into the weekend. Then, it’s on to a frustrating New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where an early engine failure ended Ross’ day much sooner than expected. He explains what went wrong, what he felt inside the car and even how he managed to fall asleep during the rain delay! Then, in an exclusive segment Presented by GEORGIA BOOT, Ross sits down with Ken Pozega, the rear tire changer on the No. 1 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet. Ken takes fans behind the scenes of NASCAR’s pit crew world, his role on race day and what it takes to perform under pressure when every fraction of a second counts. Finally, Ross looks ahead to Daytona and NASCAR’s new rules package for the Cup cars. With a major reduction in rear downforce and plenty of unknowns heading into the weekend, Ross explains why teams may be making some serious adjustments once the green flag drops.
