Ross Chastain Secures Daytona 500 Ride - he is the winner of the 500!!!

[SBR Drew]

The Melon Man will race for the Firecracker 400 winning team.

The Melon Man will return to the Great American Race in 2020.
Ross Chastain will make his second consecutive appearance in the Daytona 500 but will drive this time for Spire Motorsports in No. 77 that upset the Cup Series community in July by winning the rain-shortened Firecracker 400.
This time, the No. 77 will be prepared by Chip Ganassi Racing with sponsorship from Florida-based AdventHealth. This is a natural partnership due to Chastain’s Sunshine State roots and his contractual connection to Ganassi.

Saw him at 80-1 ...anyone see higher?

Winning the Daytona 500 would be the biggest victory in his career, and while he may not be a favorite to win the race, he is quite a popular pick to finish in the top 10.

Should get at least that by race day. Public won't bet that car. 120/1 would be my guess.

Early odds on the 500 are rarely worth touching it seems to me.


Sounds like he might have a shot in a Ganassi prepared car and with a team who knows how to win on the track I guess.

I think a lot of fans would like to see him do well.

great underdog working his ass off story.

Hes 100-1 now
