Ross Chastain will be driving for Jordan Anderson Racing in four events this season in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, focusing mainly on road course races. The collaboration between Chastain and Jordan Anderson Racing signals a significant new chapter, with the Ross Chastain Jordan Anderson Racing partnership expected to generate excitement among fans and competitors alike.
Chastain’s Upcoming Schedule with Jordan Anderson Racing
Ross Chastain, a driver already well-known for his performances with Trackhouse Racing, has agreed to compete in four races for his new team. Three out of these four appearances will take place on road courses, making the most of his adaptable racing style. Last season, Chastain participated in five races in the second-tier series, collecting four top-ten finishes while driving for JR Motorsports and achieving his best result—a third place—at Iowa Speedway.
The move was officially confirmed on social media, highlighting the selected circuits where Chastain will compete, including Atlanta, Circuit of the Americas (COTA), Watkins Glen, and Sonoma. One of the announcements stated:
“🏁 Ross Chastain is joining Jordan Anderson Racing Bommarito Autosport for FOUR races in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series! Atlanta – COTA – Watkins Glen -Sonoma 🌱 GFL Environmental will be the primary partner at COTA, with more partner news coming soon. Let’s go for some trophies🏆🏁” – Jordan Anderson Racing
Chastain himself responded by expressing his enthusiasm:
“Should be fun!” – Ross Chastain, Driver
With support from partners like GFL Environmental, particularly at COTA, further sponsorship news is expected soon. Chastain’s familiarity with these circuits and his winning mentality are likely to make him an asset for Jordan Anderson Racing in each appearance.
Chastain’s Recent Successes and Playoff Journey
Ross Chastain’s reputation has risen over the past year, especially after his victory at the prestigious Coke 600. Despite starting from the rear, he claimed the win and secured a spot in the NASCAR playoffs. Chastain advanced to the Round of 12 and finished the season tenth in the standings. His best playoff result was a fourth place at Martinsville, demonstrating resilience in the highly competitive Cup Series environment.
Insights from Daytona with Action Express and Teammates
Recently, Chastain attended the Roar before the 24 at Daytona, immersing himself in the environment alongside General Motors and Connor Zilisch’s IMSA team, Action Express Whelen Cadillac. AJ Allmendinger, another NASCAR star associated with Kaulig Racing, is also set to participate in the 24-hour event for Acura Meyer Shank Racing. Chastain shared his excitement and observations about the experience:
“It’s incredible. I’ve seen it, but getting out here on the pit box and seeing all the conversations going on, there was a red flag out on track for a stalled car, and there was a quick driver change, and the driver was ready ahead of time, which I could take some cues from.” – Ross Chastain, Driver
“We could be in this very pit stall for the Daytona 500 next month, and it doesn’t compare at all to this, which is good in our respective series,” he added.
Chastain’s exposure to the endurance racing scene complements his continual learning and adaptability—skills he will bring with him both on road courses with Jordan Anderson Racing and in future Cup events with Trackhouse Racing.
Emerging Talent and Connections for the New Season
This season will also see Chastain teaming up with Connor Zilisch, who is preparing to make his debut in the Cup Series after a spectacular 10-win campaign in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series last year, narrowly missing out on the title to Jesse Love. The close relationship and healthy rivalry among these emerging drivers promise to bring further dynamism to both the O’Reilly and Cup Series as they strive to carve out their own legacies on the track.
The alliance between Ross Chastain and Jordan Anderson Racing raises anticipation around the team’s chances on some of the calendar’s most challenging circuits, including COTA, Watkins Glen, Sonoma, and Atlanta. With Chastain’s proven skill and leadership, and strong partnerships in place, both the team and NASCAR fans will be watching closely for any standout performances during these four races.
