On Tuesday, 8 March, the 2022 Academy of Country Music Award ceremony will kick-off. In the buildup to the event, the show organizers turned to NASCAR for promotional purposes. Needless to say, the Trackhouse Racing team and Ross Chastain answered the call.
The #1 Chevrolet will be decked out in a brand new livery advertising the ACM Awards. The 57th edition of the award ceremony will see Jimmie Allen, Gabby Barrett, and Dolly Parton as co-hosts. The car’s color scheme is dark blue and gold, with a white rear end. Additionally, an image of Dolly Parton will also be featured on the car.

This new livery will be run at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday. As for the ACM awards, it will take place at the Allegiant Stadium in Nevada. Considering that there is a NASCAR Cup race in Vegas, it was a perfect opportunity to promote the grand event. It also helps that the team’s co-owner is a musician himself, namely Pitbull.

What about Trackhouse Racing and Ross Chastain?
Admittedly, Chastain has not had the best start to his 2022 campaign. He crashed out in the Daytona 500, being classified 40th, while he was 29th at the Auto Club Speedway. Meanwhile, his teammate Daniel Suarez had a relatively better start to his campaign in comparison. At Daytona, he was down in 18th place but was utterly delighted with 4th place at the Auto Club Speedway.
Fortunately for both of them, the season is still long, so there is plenty of time for them to pull up their socks. However, they need to start delivering consistent performances. For this Sunday’s Cup race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Chastain starts 18th, while Suarez starts 21st. If they can survive any shenanigans in one piece and make their way up the order, it will work wonders for Trackhouse Racing.
