Ross Chastain has no interest in being a passenger on a Trackhosue MotoGP bike. Chastain, along with his partner, a popular musician and co-owner of the racing team, is working on building a successful racing team at Trackhosue Racing. What started as a Cup Series car team has now expanded to include two full-time cars and one part-time car. Additionally, they have three development drivers in their garage, one of whom is a contender for the IMSA LMP2 championship.
Last year, the team made a significant investment by acquiring a MotoGP team and will compete in the 2024 season with Aprilia bikes. They have recruited two talented riders and the team sees great potential for success both in the United States and internationally.
When asked about the possibility of racing on a Trackhosue bike, Chastain, who is considered one of the top drivers on the Trackhosue grid, quickly dismissed the idea. Known for his bold driving style, he believes the MotoGP bike is too fast for him to handle without prior experience. He has no interest in even considering a ride as a passenger.
Chastain shared that the NASCAR senior vice president shared his own experience of riding as a passenger on a MotoGP bike. He emphasized that riding on such fast bikes without being in control is a terrifying experience. Chastain prefers to be in control of the vehicle, even if it means crashing, at least he has the steering wheel in his hands.
Although competing in MotoGP is not in Chastain’s plans, he can still use the Trackhosue platform to promote NASCAR to the international community. With his charisma and talent, he can play a significant role in the cross-promotion between NASCAR and MotoGP at Trackhosue.
