LONG POND, Pa. – Ross Chastain continued his remarkable season with his third NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series victory of the year on Saturday afternoon at Pocono Raceway.

Chastain, at the wheel of the No. 45 Chevrolet Silverado for Niece Motorsports, was in his own league throughout much of the 60-lap Gander RV 150. He led all but six laps, only giving up the lead for a pit stop late in the second stage.

The Florida driver dedicated the victory to the late Nick Harrison, Kaulig Racing’s crew chief who died unexpectedly last week.

“It takes us being a little mad. We’re a little made we lost Nick Harrison. We realize everybody goes when it’s their time, but we miss that big boy,” Chastain said. “These boys, a lot of them worked with him and I got to work with him at Kaulig Racing this year. Man, we miss him.”

Chastain made his only pit stop of the day on lap 27, just prior to the end of the second stage. That was done strategically by his team, with the goal being for Chastain to cycle back to the front of the field during the caution period between stages two and three when the rest of the leaders hit pit road.

The strategy worked out perfectly and Chastain cycled back to the front of the field for the final restart of the race. Despite having less fuel than many of those pursuing him, Chastain was easily able to make it to the checkered flag first.

“We stomped them in the dirt,” Chastain said. “I’m so dang excited.”

Tyler Ankrum, who earned his first NASCAR Outdoors Truck Series victory in the last event on July 11 at Kentucky Speedway when the race leader ran out of gas late in the race, chased Chastain across the line in second.

“I think it just goes to show everyone that you can still race with them and it’s not all about fuel strategy,” said Ankrum. “Honestly I just kind of fought myself at the beginning of the race there. I was just overdriving the truck. Just kind of stepping on my own toes and got behind.

“Bono (Manion, crew chief) did a real good job with pit strategy and I was able to start on the front row (for the final restart). Me and Ross were able to run away from the field. I thought I had a good enough truck to chase him down, but just with the air and how everything works I couldn’t get close enough to him to catch the draft.”

Harrison Burton finished third for Kyle Busch Motorsports, followed by ARCA regular Christian Eckes and GMS Racing’s Brett Moffitt.
