In this episode of Ag to Asphalt, NASCAR driver Ross Chastain opens up about a challenging Daytona 500, where Trackhouse Racing lost seven cars throughout the race. Ross dives into a lighter moment from an award ceremony, where he found himself unexpectedly put in the "friend zone," adding a fun and relatable side to the life of a professional driver. The episode shifts gears to an exciting finish at the Ambetter Health 400 in Atlanta, where Ross recounts the thrilling final laps. He then takes listeners behind the scenes as he visits Master Blend Family Farms in Kenansville, North Carolina, where he rolls up his sleeves and gets his hands dirty in the pigpens. The farm visit gives fans an inside look at Ross' agricultural roots and his connection to farming. Finally, Ross wraps up the episode by talking about his return to the Circuit of the Americas, a track where he's enjoyed great success.
