Chastain’s subsequent appeal was denied. …Chastain also claimed the $50,000 that went to the third of three winners of the Triple Truck Challenge. “I’m going to take that money home and they’re not taking it from us this time,” Chastain joked. …Grant Enfinger leads the series with 480 points, followed by Stewart Friesen (426) and Matt Crafton (421).
