Skip Barber Racing School alumni Ross Chastain captured the victory in NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600, completing a remarkable drive from last-to-first in the longest race of the NASCAR Cup Series season. Chastain started Sunday evening’s race from the rear of the field after his Trackhouse Racing Team completed a marathon build of their backup car following a crash in practice. Chastain took the green flag from 40th and steadily climbed the order, ending Stage 1 in twenty-first, Stage 2 in seventh, and Stage 3 in fifth. With just five laps to go, Chastain moved into the lead of the race and closed out motorsports’ annual eclipse of crown jewel events with a victory. Chastain also finished the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race in second earlier in the weekend. Behind Chastain was fellow Skip Barber Racing School graduate AJ Allmendinger who crossed the line in fourth, earning his best finish of the season. Also in the top ten were alumni Michael McDowell and Noah Gragson. In the NASCAR Xfinity Series, alumni Connor Zilisch was second, ahead of fellow graduates Josh Williams, Austin Hill, and Christian Eckes. In the 109th Indianapolis 500, Skip Barber alumni Santino Ferrucci (5th) and Conor Daly (8th) finished in the top ten. Five different Skip Barber graduates led at least one lap over the course of the race as Daly, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Kyle Kirkwood, Alexander Rossi, and Ed Carpenter all spent time at the front of the field. Hunter-Reay’s 48 laps led were the second-most of any driver. For Ferrucci, his fifth-place finish is his seventh-consecutive top ten in the Indianapolis 500. Including his effort in 2019, which earned him Rookie of the Year, Ferrucci has never finished outside of the top ten and has a trio of top five results. Alumni Josef Newgarden’s masterful drive from the last row of the grid was stymied by a mechanical issue. The two-time winner was running sixth when a fuel pressure issue proved just how hard it is for a driver to win three-consecutive Indianapolis 500 races. While IndyCar was on the Speedway’s 2.5-mile oval, USF2000 and USF Pro 2000 were at Indianapolis Raceway Park’s 0.686-mile oval for a pair of races. Alumni Caleb Gafrarar (4th) and Jack Jeffers (9th) completed the 75-lap USF2000 race. Meanwhile, graduates Brady Golan (5th) and Max Taylor (8th) had strong runs in the 90-lap USF Pro 2000 race. Sunday’s triple-header of racing began with Formula 1’s Monaco Grand Prix where Skip Barber alumni Zak Brown and his McLaren Racing outfit scored a double podium with Lando Norris capturing the victory. If the pace continues, the team seems destined for its largest margin of victory in the Formula One World Constructor’s Championship. The only season of McLaren’s history besting its current pace is the 1988 pairing of Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna who captured 83% of the available points. Next weekend, the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will visit Nashville Superspeedway. The NTT IndyCar Series, Indy NXT, and the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship will share the streets of Detroit. Finally, Formula 1 will land in Barcelona for the Spanish Grand Prix.
