Ross Chastain narrowly missed out on winning last year's Daytona 500. After his Super Bowl commercials hits TV, he plans on taking the checkered flag and more.
It is not easy to win in NASCAR, but that is not necessarily acceptable to Ross Chastain. Chastain has five victories to his resume, and he narrowly missed out on being the Cup Series winner in 2022, finishing in second on the season. However, on Feb. 16, the Daytona 500 marks a new season and a new opportunity.
The Daytona 500 is such a big event to kick off the season. To kick off the first points event, the walking out for the Daytona 500, the race is big, but it's the most nerve-racking for me pre-race, because it's the whole season,' Chastain said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. 'When we’re on the pre-race stage, and we walk out, it’s the first time that the season’s starting. So much opportunity is right there in front of me, and I get to try to take it.
