Ross Chastain went on to add that he now has partners who are believing in them and added that all this materialized thanks to the vision of Justin Marks and co-owners Pitbull and Armando.  

“No. Are you kidding me? You know me. I’ve wrecked myself so many times and gotten into it with guys. I’ve probably got a watermelon seed. This is a true seedless,”  Ross Chastain said.

“Yeah, I mean, Justin Marks and what he laid out for us was ambitious. I had no idea, you know what to expect other than I knew I had my group from last year, I had AdventHealth, the Moose, now with Worldwide Express and Jockey coming on board, we’ve got partners. They’re believing in us. We started the year with a lot of races open. We’re almost full now. It’s because of the vision of Justin Marks. Pitbull, Armando, we won, yeah!” Ross Chastain added.
