**Chastain and Trackhouse Racing Overcome All-Nighter to Conquer Coca-Cola 600**

**CONCORD, N.C. (May 27, 2024)** – In a display of sheer determination and teamwork, Ross Chastain drove to victory in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday, just hours after his team completed a herculean effort to prepare a backup car for the race.

Chastain crashed his primary car during practice on Saturday, forcing the Trackhouse Racing team into an all-night scramble. NASCAR granted the team permission to switch to a backup car, which was located back at the team’s shop, a mere 6.8 miles from the track.

While most of the team went back to the shop to prepare the backup car, they had to transfer the engine, transaxle, and even the interior from the primary vehicle. They also had to ensure the car met NASCAR’s stringent specifications and apply all the sponsor logos. Team members worked tirelessly through the night, returning to the shop after the Xfinity race on Saturday to contribute to the effort.

Despite working until 2:30 a.m. and returning at 5:30 a.m., the team managed to complete the car around 12:30 p.m. Sunday, just in time to transport it to the track for inspection. Car chief David Fero, understandably exhausted, admitted needing a moment of quiet reflection before the race.

Trackhouse Racing owner Justin Marks praised his team’s unwavering belief and dedication, calling the victory a “beautiful expression” of their commitment to success.

Chastain celebrated his first Coca-Cola 600 win with a burnout, reverse victory lap, watermelon smash, and a trip into the stands to share the celebratory fruit with fans. The victory was a testament to the resilience and dedication of the entire Trackhouse Racing team.
