Inside the Brickyard 400 + Meet Ross Chastain's Tire Carrier

🏁 Ag to Asphalt presented by Fresh From Florida is back with another behind-the-scenes look at life in NASCAR and agriculture with Ross Chastain. This week, Ross recaps his trip to Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which included some camping, throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at a St. Louis Cardinals game, and breaking down everything that happened during the Brickyard 400. In this week's Georgia Boot Farm Segment, Ross sits down with Matt Simmons, tire carrier for the No. 1 car. Matt shares what it takes to compete at the highest level on pit road, how he found his way into NASCAR, and the preparation required to perform under pressure every race weekend. Finally, Ross previews the Iowa Corn 350, discusses what the No. 1 team learned in Indianapolis, and explains what it will take to compete for another strong finish.
