"We're excited to welcome Ross to the (No.) 32 for these races," said team owner Jordan Anderson. "He's a proven winner at the Cup level, but he's also someone who understands what it takes to grow within a team and build results through hard work. His experience and perspective will be valuable for everyone in our organization."
The 2026 season marks the first time that Chastain will join Jordan Anderson Racing. He has made 213 starts in the secondary series with such teams as JD Motorsports, Hattori Racing Enterprises, DGM Racing, Kaulig Racing, and JR Motorsports. He has two two wins and 57 top-10 finishes.
The Florida native has made it clear that he wants to hit 56 starts across the three national series in 2026. He will already make 38 for Trackhouse Racing while driving the No. 1 Chevrolet. He will make another eight with Niece Motorsports in the Craftsman Truck Series.
The four starts with Jordan Anderson Racing takes him to 50 starts. He only needs six more to reach his goal. Some will come with JR Motorsports as part of a previous announcement, but the team has not revealed the number of starts he will make in the No. 9 Chevrolet.
"The road to 56 starts now," Chastain said at Phoenix Raceway in November. "Yeah, we're already working on it. I think it's the best thing I can do, and Trackhouse (Racing) is in full support of it.
"So they want me in fast vehicles. So they're doing everything they can on Sundays to get fast cars. So they expect the Xfinity teams and Truck teams that I drive for to also be that way."
