UPDATE: Ross Chastain hasn’t had the opportunity to race as much as he would have liked to this NASCAR season.That won’t be the case though this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway, as Win-Tron Racing confirmed that the likable Florida driver will pilot the team’s #35 Toyota Tundra in Friday night’s Ford EcoBoost 200. Roughly two and a half hours south of his hometown, Chastain will bring a recognizable partner for his third and final NCWTS race of the year, Watermelon.org and the National Watermelon Association. The National Watermelon Association was organized in 1914. Originally it was called the ‘Melon Distributors Association,’ but as the organization grew and the goals became more defined, the name was changed (in 1945) to the ‘National Watermelon Growers & Distributors Association’. In 1979, Growers & Distributors was dropped from the name, resulting in the current ‘National Watermelon Association.’ NWA has members in 30 states. Its purpose of the Association is to promote the best interests of the Watermelon Industry from production to consumption.(WinTron Racing)(11-12-2014)
