Keystone Games: Gilbert gets support en route to United Way 5K victory

<p>LONG POND &#8212; Ross Chastain dominated at Pocono Raceway on Saturday to win a NASCAR Truck Series race for the third time this season.</p><p>Chastain dedicated the victory to popular crew chief Nick Harrison, who died overnight hours after last week&#8217;s Xfinity Series race.</p><p>&#8220;This one&#8217;s for you, Nick!&#8221; Chastain yelled over the radio as he took the checkered flag.</p><p>Chastain has stamped himself a favorite to win the series championship, and he celebrated with an inflatable watermelon he stuffed inside the truck for a victory lap. Chastain always has watermelons around victory lane, a nod to his roots in the family fruit-farming business. The watermelon farmer-turned-racer led 54 laps in the No. 45 Chevrolet.</p><p>He grabbed a real watermelon once he hopped out of his truck and smashed it to the ground.</p><p>Chastain had a win in the series at Iowa stripped by NASCAR after his truck was found to be too low in a postrace inspection. NASCAR upheld the race-day decision after an appeal. But he had plenty of reason to celebrate at Pocono, giving him a victory to go with ones at Kansas and The Raceway at Gateway in Illinois.</p><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m so dang excited,&#8221; Chastain said. &#8220;We don&#8217;t back down at all. We just keep going.&#8221;</p><p>Tyler Ankrum was second, followed by Harrison Burton, Christian Eckes and Brett Moffitt.</p><style>
