Ross Chastain

The Melon Man is an eighth-generation watermelon farmer from Alva, Florida, who drives the No. 1 Chevrolet for Trackhouse Racing like he's still got dirt under his fingernails. Chastain's aggressive, no-apologies style has earned him six Cup wins and plenty of enemies in the garage -- but he wouldn't have it any other way. His 2025 Coca-Cola 600 win from dead last was a historic feat not seen since Bobby Allison in 1969. For fantasy, Chastain is a volatile high-ceiling play. He qualifies poorly but consistently races forward, making him elite for place differential formats. Strongest at intermediates and superspeedways. Boom-or-bust, but the booms are spectacular.
