Ross Chastain Starts Mid-Pack at Las Vegas But Can Contend
6 months agoLook for Ross Chastain to contend for a good finish in the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend. Chastain's No. 1 Chevrolet was fast right off of the truck on Saturday, ranking fastest in opening practice. He went on to qualify 20th later that afternoon, which was a bit surprising. However, in the NextGen car, Chastain has been one of the best. He has posted top-five finishes in three of the four Vegas races in this car with Green Flag Speed rankings of eighth-, ninth-, and fifth-fastest. Typically, Chastain isn't very fast off of the truck unless he has a race car that contend for the win, so it's a good sign that the No. 1 Chevrolet was so fast during practice and qualifying on Saturday. Ross has also been very solid at Kansas, which is the sister track to Las Vegas. Over at Kansas, he has finished seventh or better in three of the four NextGen races.
