In this high-octane episode of Ag to Asphalt, NASCAR driver Ross Chastain takes us under the hood of one of the wildest wins of his career: his last-to-first triumph at the Coca-Cola 600. From scrambling overnight to build a backup car, to starting dead last with a goal of cracking the top 20, Ross breaks down how it all came together, including running 20 laps with clean air, chasing down William Byron, and the moment he took the lead. He shares what went through his mind crossing the finish line, the unexpected celebration moments, and the story of how a drunk fan stole his hat in Victory Lane.
Then, Ross heads to Nebraska to visit the HQ of presenting sponsor Levrack, where he gets the full tour from co-founder and CEO Ryan Stauffer. They dive into how Levrack was built out of necessity and turned into a storage solution trusted by celebrities like Jay Leno. The episode wraps with Ross previewing this weekend’s race in Michigan and what it’ll take to keep the momentum going.
