Drivers react, offer congrats to Chastain after Gander Trucks thriller

Ross Chastain broke through for his first career NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series victory on Friday night at Kansas Speedway, and his fellow NASCAR drivers were quick to shower him with praise. For Chastain, the victory was a welcome vindication after his incredible 2018 story. With superb performances in limited NASCAR Xfinity Series action with Chip Ganassi Racing last year — including a victory at Las Vegas — Chastain earned a full-time ride in Ganassi's No. 42 Chevrolet for 2019, only to see that car shut down for the year by circumstances beyond the driver's or team's control. That made Friday's victory all the sweeter, and is why drivers such as Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson were quick to offer congrats.
