Ahead of the 2023 season kickoff, things seem to be going pretty well for the melon man. It was recently announced that NASCAR Cup Series driver, Ross Chastain, has joined the relaunch of Motorsports Management International (MMI). The organization returned after spending nearly a decade in hibernation.
His role in the organization would be divided as both a client and a founding member. MMI has been a renowned driver representation and management agency. With their nearly three-decade-long history, they have worked with drivers such as Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth, and Denny Hamlin, among several other noted drivers.
