NASCAR, country music, and beer form a natural trio, and this weekend in Nashville, one of racing’s stars will exemplify this synergy. Ross Chastain, partnered with Busch Light, will showcase country music artists sponsored by the beer brand on his car at Nashville Speedway for the Ally 400.
The featured artists on Chastain’s car include Ashley Cooke, Austin Snell, Breland, Jordan Davis, Matt Stell, Nate Smith, Priscilla Block, and Riley Green. In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Chastain expressed his enthusiasm: “I’m living out all my dreams and combining many of my passions. Life’s good right now, I’m doing a lot of exciting things, and having this car is one of them.”
Chastain’s collaboration with Busch Light represents a significant milestone for him: “It feels like a full-circle moment,” he said. “It’s everything I could have hoped for, even though I hadn’t dreamed of it before.”
Reflecting on the start of his partnership with Busch Light during the offseason, Chastain humorously recalled a moment from years ago: “I remember sitting in a bar back home with friends in December during the off-season. The Kevin Harvick /Busch Light NASCAR calendar had just come out, and as we laughed about it, they asked me what it would be like if they ever sponsored me.”
“We had a good laugh about it, and just this past December, it came full circle when I saw myself on that calendar. I got it, put it up, and sitting down at home before the season started, seeing that calendar up there—it was a full-circle moment. A lot of effort went into reaching that point, but it was all worth it.”
The partnership fits seamlessly for Chastain, who mentions he’s been a fan of Busch Light “long before they sponsored me, and I’ll keep drinking it long after they sponsor me.”
“It just feels so natural for me because I was already enjoying it,” he adds.
The connection to country music adds another interesting dimension. “That’s where the idea of Trackhouse was born… We have a strong connection to country music and Nashville. We celebrated a win there last year, had some artists out… got to meet a few of them, hang out, share a beer, just a relaxing evening, so that was really special. Being able to introduce them to my sport and job, and feature their names, with support from Busch Light, makes it all possible.”
