Ross Chastain earned his first victory of the 2024 season and the fifth of his career with an impressive victory at Kansas. He held off William Byron in the final 20 laps to capture the checkered flag. Chastain is the first driver to ever win five Cup races with the No. 1, becoming the winningest driver in the number's history.
"It's a huge deal," said Chastain while taking a bite out of a freshly smashed watermelon. "For us on this No. 1 team, this is what Cup racing is all about. It's what Justin Marks bought into Trackhouse with Pitbull -- to do stuff like this. To disrupt. There's been times this year when we couldn't have disrupted [a] minnow pond outside of Darlington, let alone a Cup race. It's hard. It's really tough."
