Ross Chastain is drawing attention for his distinctive appearance during the NASCAR Cup Series Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway this Saturday. Sponsored by Jockey, the primary backer of Chastain’s No. 1 Chevrolet, the fire suit prominently features the brand’s men’s underwear line, making it a standout on the track. This playful fire suit is what Chastain will wear throughout the 400-mile short track event, reflecting a lighthearted approach from both the driver and his team.
They have embraced the partnership enthusiastically this week, blending humor with promotion in support of Jockey’s ongoing sponsorship.

Current Momentum and Race Outlook for Ross Chastain
The atmosphere around Chastain and his No. 1 team is optimistic, particularly since he has secured a spot in the playoffs thanks to his victory at the Coca-Cola 600. With no pressure from points in the remaining two regular season races, Chastain aims to build positive momentum heading into the postseason. However, the recent stretch from Pocono to Indianapolis was tough, with multiple finishes outside the top 20.
Chastain rebounded somewhat with an 11th-place finish at Iowa and a 10th-place finish at Watkins Glen, showing signs of improvement. Though Richmond Raceway has produced mixed results for him—only three top 10 finishes in 12 starts—he managed a fifth-place finish in last year’s Cook Out 400. Despite this, Chastain qualified 33rd for Saturday’s race, presenting a challenge to overcome on the track.
Trackhouse Racing’s Broader Standings and Competition
Chastain is not the only Trackhouse Racing driver in strong form. Shane van Gisbergen, a New Zealand native, recently won at Watkins Glen and shares the top spot for wins this season with Denny Hamlin, each claiming four victories. Van Gisbergen holds third place in the playoff points standings with 22 points. Although van Gisbergen qualified ahead of Chastain, he will start 27th, setting up a competitive race for Trackhouse Racing at Richmond.
Significance Going Forward Into NASCAR Playoffs
The unique Jockey fire suit symbolizes more than just sponsorship for Ross Chastain; it highlights a confident and playful attitude as he approaches the playoffs. With the postseason underway soon, how Chastain and his team perform at Richmond will influence their momentum, crucial for tackling the challenges ahead. Meanwhile, teammates like van Gisbergen continue to show strong potential, keeping Trackhouse Racing’s chances alive in this highly competitive NASCAR Cup Series season.
