Ross Chastain

Ross Chastain is a current Cardboard Cup Series driver. He drives Premium Motorsports' #15 Chevrolet part time. As of Indianapolis, he is 26th in points standings, with 1 top 10 (Daytona).

Season 1 Overview
Chastain made his debut at the TinkerChest 200, driving the unsponsored #27 for Premium Motorsports. Qualifying in 22nd, he passed a damaged Austin Dillon heading to the garage. He got lapped early, getting caught by Brad Keselowski on lap 4. He eventually placed 21st, 2 laps off pace.

At Daytona, he once again qualified towards the rear, in 18th. Chastain would stick to the back of the pack until the white flag, where he maneuvered to 10th just before receiving the checkered flag.

After Reed Sorenson took over the #27 entry for Premium Motorsports for Bristol, Chastain transferred to the #15 car, another Premium Motorsports entry. This change of teams meant he would be ineligible for points for the rest of the season. He would qualify for Bristol 23rd, just ahead of Cody Ware. Ryan Newman would lap him by lap 4. During the subsequent restart, Chastain faltered, and battled Cody Ware until the leaders caught him again, putting him 2 laps behind. He finished 23rd, 2 laps down.

After Daytona, Chastain would struggle to qualify. After failing to qualify for Cardboard Raceway and Indianapolis, it was rumored that he may be replaced by Brennan Poole. He would fail to qualify yet again at Talladega.
