HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Ross Chastain had the talent to compete for a NASCAR championship. The path he took to race for the Truck Series title reads almost as a work of fiction.His year started with an FBI raid of his Xfinity Series sponsor that cost him his ride. Chastain had only weeks to put together a schedule over multiple NASCAR series. He had a win disqualified by NASCAR. Oh, and Chastain didn't even declare for the Truck championship until June.
He was disqualified after a Truck win under NASCAR's zero tolerance policy on failing post-race inspection but rebounded to win at Gateway to crack the top 20 in points. He won at Pocono and soon secured a spot in the playoffs. Crafton made it to the finale without a victory: He hasn't won since a July 2017 race at Eldora Speedway, a string of 57 races. No matter, the 43-year-old Crafton methodically delivered 17 top-10 finishes in 22 races and finished on the lead lap in all but one race. He drives the No. 45 Ford for ThorSport Racing and has an average finish of 9.1 this season.
The former hockey player and current dirt track racer had a bit of a wild ride to the checkered flag at Phoenix. He started second behind the pole winner and was penalized for beating Austin Hill to the start line and was dropped to the rear of the field. Friesen got hot the rest of the race and has a championship in sight. Friesen has 12 top fives and 16 top 10s in just his second full season in the series.
