Ross Chastain's Qualifying Results Improving as his Race Results Decline
After terrible qualifying for most of the season, Ross Chastain has suddenly had an uptick in oval qualifying speed in the playoffs, which possibly suggests that Trackhouse Racing was ignoring some races once he locked himself in. But it is not inspiring that he finished worse than he started in all three playoff races, which suggests that it might happen again as he starts eighth on Sunday at Loudon, a track where he has never finished better than where he's starting today. Chastain has overachieved to make it this far since he made the Round of 12 despite only ranking 15th in speed, but it will likely end in this round as Trackhouse Racing just hasn't had much speed, and he'll probably finish worse than he starts on Sunday, making him a mediocre option for DFS play.
