The Skip Barber Racing School is proud to announce that NASCAR Cup Series star Ross Chastain will make his IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge debut with Skip Barber Racing, the legendary school’s professional racing team. Chastain will share the controls of the No. 16 Skip Barber Racing School entry with IMSA Diverse Driver Development Scholarship winner Ken Fukuda at Road America. “I am really looking forward to racing with Skip Barber at Road America,” Chastain said. “I have been a customer of Skip Barber Racing School and to now race with their IMSA team makes total sense. Dan and Anthony DeMonte run the premier racing school in the country so hopefully I can have a good showing for them during one of our NASCAR off-weekends. I always appreciate the additional track time." Skip Barber has previously sponsored Chastain in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Chastain is one of over 20 current NASCAR Cup Series drivers who has spent time training with the instructors at Skip Barber to improve their road-racing prowess. Other alumni include John Hunter Nemechek, Erik Jones, Jimmie Johnson, and Michael McDowell. “When we saw a gap in the NASCAR Cup Series schedule that lined up with our race team’s outing at Road America, we knew what we needed to do,” Skip Barber Racing School Chief Marketing Officer Dan DeMonte said. This is an opportunity that we simply couldn’t afford to pass up and we are beyond thrilled to welcome Ross into the team at Road America.” Also at Road America, Skip Barber Racing will field a pair of entries in Ford Mustang Challenge. Chastain and Skip Barber are also closely aligned in campaigns for road safety with Chastain’s Protect Your Melon initiative and the Skip Barber Driving Academy, a one-day defensive-driving program designed to build safer drivers on public roads.
