LAKE WALES, Fla. — Ross Chastain will drive the No. 91 entry for DGM Racing at Sonoma Raceway and the Indy Road Course, due to a new partnership between DGM and the Skip Barber Racing School.
Chastain is no stranger to success at Sonoma.
Last year he finished fourth in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race. He also finished seventh in his previous two NASCAR Cup Series starts at the famed raceway in Northern California. Chastain finished fourth for DGM Racing in last year’s race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
“Racing on road courses is something I have only done in NASCAR. I didn’t grow up turning left and right, so I have had to learn and adapt quickly. I recognized early on that I needed as many laps as possible. Skip Barber has been a great way for me to get laps, and I am excited to announce this partnership for Sonoma and the Indy Road Course,” said Chastain.
Skip Barber Racing School has developed more winning racers than any other school.
Their alumni have taken the podium in all facets of motorsports, including Formula 1, NASCAR, IndyCar, SCCA, World Challenge and IMSA.
Skip Barber features driving academies at legendary venues across the country, including Circuit of the Americas, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Laguna Seca, Lime Rock Park, New Jersey Motorsports Park, Road Atlanta, Sebring Raceway, Sonoma Raceway and Virginia International Raceway.
“We’ve been fortunate to have some of the best NASCAR drivers in the world train and race with us over the years,” said Anthony Demonte, CEO of the Skip Barber Racing School. “We’re proud of what Ross has accomplished in his career, and we look forward to helping him to become a NASCAR Cup Series champion.”
Chastain will compete in the Door Dash 250 at Sonoma Raceway on Saturday, June 10, as well as The Pennzoil 150 at The Brickyard at IMS Road Course on Saturday, August 12.
