Ross Chastain Prepares For First Season As The Anheuser-Busch Driver

Ross Chastain’s new hot rod for Trackhouse Racing stands out. It’s bold, filled with mountains and different shades of Busch Light blue.

For the first time, Chastain has an anchor sponsor to one of his Nascar Cup Series cars that joined a team just to work with him. Previously, he had partners that were already with the teams he raced for, but this is a new experience for the watermelon farmer.

“To see the Busch Light colors and logo on my car is truly special,” Chastain said. “When I first saw the paint scheme, I was blown away. For me and the entire team at Trackhouse Racing, it’s a dream come true and an honor to be racing in Busch Light’s classic blues and whites.”

For the last two seasons, as Chastain rose to stardom in Nascar, he had a plethora of partners featured on his No. 1 Chevrolet. Now, Anheuser-Busch’s Busch Light will be on his car for 18 races — half the season — as part of a multi-year deal. The sponsorship is part of increased interest in Chastain, who made national headlines in 2022 with his video game style finish at Martinsville Speedway to earn a spot in the Championship 4.

Busch Light’s “Iconic” paint scheme will be featured on Chastain’s car at Busch Light Clash, the Daytona 500, Toyota Owners 400 in Richmond, the Enjoy Illinois 300, the Go Bowling at the Watkins Glen International, the Roval 400 in Charlotte and the Championship Race in Phoenix.

Anheuser-Busch previously sponsored Kevin Harvick at both Richard Childress Racing and Stewart-Haas Racing.

Chastain has four career Cup wins, all coming with Trackhouse over the last two seasons.
