HOMESTEAD, Fla. — On the west side of Florida, there’s a watermelon farm included among the many parties still picking up the pieces from last month’s Category 4 Hurricane Ian. On the opposite coast just a hair under 200 miles away, a driver that grew up on said farm is hoping he can give his family a bit of a break and a few reasons to smile before getting back to a cleanup and rebuild process that “is going to be for years.”
Though not comparable in any way to the seriousness of the devastation caused by Ian, Ross Chastain’s 2022 emergence has been, proverbially, as disruptive to the NASCAR Cup Series’ “old guard” as he’s burst onto the scene this season to turn in career highs in just about every statistical measure. As such, the two-time 2022 winner enters Sunday’s Dixie Vodka 400 (2:30 p.m. ET, NBC, NBC Sports App, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) as the Round of 8 competitor best positioned to advance to the Championship 4 at Phoenix Raceway.
