As the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series heads to the Dover International Speedway, SS Green Light Racing’s Ross Chastain faces the track known as the “Monster Mile” for the first time in his young NASCAR career. The last several races have seen a streak of bad luck and mechanical gremlins drop the talented young racer from eleventh to twenty-fifth in the point standings. This week the Georgia Watermelon Association and Watermelon.org will join Chastain and the SS Green Light team as the Sunoco Rookie of the Year candidate will try to move his way back up the point standings at one of the toughest tracks in the NCWTS. After running a white paint scheme the last few races, the team will be “back in black” this week at the Monster Mile. “We’ve got to change our luck somehow,” said the rookie driver. Before heading to the track on Thursday, Ross, along with the Watermelon Queens will be meeting airmen at the Dover Air Force Base. “I feel really honored to meet these men and women who serve our country,” stated Chastain. “I am looking forward to shaking their hands and thanking them face to face.” The Lucas Oil 200 is the 276th consecutive NCWTS start for the SS Green Light Racing team and the eleventh career start for Chastain in the Truck Series Chris Jones will pilot the #07 for SS Green Light Racing.(SS Green Light Racing PR)(5-30-2012)
