The main reason why so many people say that they were there is because of what you did literally made everyone feel even if they were watching on TV that they were there and they felt like they were a part of the race. As long as they used to play video games, especially racing games. You touched every single video game racers heart the day that that happened
My hometown Martinsville Va the most peaceful town you can ever come. I worked that track when i was younger. If yall ever in Martinsville Va we tailgate every year near the helicopter pad.
I was watching live on TV with my parents and uncles. When chastain went around the turn. NO ONE SAW IT. When I saw his car on the front stretch. I thought it was Kevin Harvick( who also had a red paint sceme that day) Blew a tire until we saw it was Chastain and the replay and ALL OF ARE JAWS HIT THE FLOOR.
It's omega dangerous and could potentially not only cost the driver preforming it their life, but it also comes with heavy risk for a pile up that would potentially cause multiple fatalities.
Oh come on I did the same thing in NASCAR heat 3 4 and 5 at Phoenix and Ross Chastain did what lightning McQueen did in the movie cars at Martinsville but in real life ka-chow Ross Chastain and I disagree with Joey logano 😊.
Everyone gonna slide past the fact Byron said "big brain move" 😂😂😂
honestly it really was which is the best part. He doesnt do that, he probably doesnt make the champ 4
how about this, i would be surprised if any of the guys older than 40 said that, so just Truex
One of the wildest things I have seen in a Nascar race. I loved it man!
Ya
I was there and Ross was easily doing like 130 on that line. Against a wall? That's insane
I was in total shock, best part was inching out Hamlin to make him finish 5th AGAIN! 😎
It was one of those Wtf just happened moments!!!😂
Ross Chastain will live forever with all of the wild, iconic things he’s done.
I straight had to reattach my jaw when it happened it was so insane!!!!! I was on a rant for hours. After that, it felt like!!!!
That was really impressive.
Ya
Real life Ricky Bobby
Ya
I know after that move Ross gotta alot of new fans
Senior was reincarnated as Ross Chastain
Last guy to do stuff like that was Earnhardt Sr
Ya
I doubt he ever thought of wall riding the car, wouldn't have had the same result if he tried it
This makes me want to crack open a beer, play free bird at full volume
"Do it for Dale" moment

Wonder how that lap time compared to the pole
He broke the lap record by a long way
My favorite cup driver, pulled off one of the best moves ever lol
Dale Earnhardt vibes for sure.
Not only was the Hail Melon an all time great move, it pretty much solidifed Ross as the all time lap time leader at Martinsville 😅

It worked because the wall (plus a car design that held up & didn't drag too much) let him plow through the corner at ridiculous speeds

Why they make a rule over someone smarter than everyone else?

Hmm maybe for safety reasons. Duh
The Watermelon 🍉 Man is after all is said and done a Florida Man. I mean that in the best way possible...

Not a war crime the first time
And now that's illegal.

TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HE DID
Slingshot effect anyone!
That rule sucks.
Better than having several other cars try it and failing by wrecking themselves or giving themselves concussions
Not really. What are you 7
It blows my mind how a modern driver can't figure out Why this works.
R E A L L Y ??!!!
Did you not learn anything in Basic racing school??
There is no racing school for stock cars it’s not like scca
Umm...you went faster. Its called racing!
Mind blowing that he wasn't good enough to actually win. Had to cheat to win.
He’s a professional driver and this move wasn’t even banned at the time.
He finished 5th in that race
What speed does your nascar go around the oval?
If you arent cheating, you arent trying
If your not cheating your not trying
This move also got banned in IRacing.
