Busch Light to Serve as 18-Race Primary Sponsor For Ross Chastain in 2024
It comes as absolutely no surprise, as the rumor had been floating around for months, but on Tuesday morning, Busch Light officially announced a multi-year partnership with Ross Chastain and the No. 1 Trackhouse Racing team beginning with the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season.
Chastain says the new partnership is a dream come true.
“On the farm in Alva, Florida, Busch Light has always been the beer of choice for all of our celebrations, and now that they are right by my side as my sponsor – it’s a dream come true,” said Chastain in a press release. “This sponsorship means so much to me as the brand not only supports NASCAR but also places value and extends their support to communities that are close to my heart — the humble, hard-working people across the U.S. who enjoy cracking a cold one after an honest day’s work.”
According to a representative with Busch Light, Chastain will carry Busch Light as his primary sponsor in 18 races during the 2024 season. The Busch Light branding will have a prominent placement on the paint scheme in the remaining races of the 2024 season as well.

NASCAR to Conduct Two-Day Short Track Package Test at New Hampshire
NASCAR has officially announced a two-day test scheduled for July 17th and 18th at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The focus of the test will be improving the racing product at tracks that utilize the short-track racing package.
Six drivers and teams will be at the test including Christopher Bell (No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota), Harrison Burton (No. 21 Wood Brothers Racing Ford), William Byron (No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet), Justin Haley (No. 31 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet), Ryan Preece (No. 41 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford), Erik Jones (No. 43 LEGACY MOTOR CLUB Chevrolet).
According to drivers at Atlanta Motor Speedway, one of the new features being tested will include a new splitter for the Next Gen car.
“Essentially, we have made a splitter that creates lift in clean air, and essentially, the goal is that whenever you get into traffic, and you lose airflow to your splitter, you would essentially have more downforce than you would be yourself,” Christopher Bell explained at Atlanta.
