Chastain's family are watermelon farmers. Watermelons paid for his early career. That's why he smashes a watermelon after he wins. It'll be interesting to see if he has an epic watermelon stunt planned if he actually wins the championship.
I'd love too see more NASCAR here, the whole series is perfect for a comedy review. Especially as drivers can actually wreck other cars without big reprecussions
@@laurenmp7486 F1 Drivers: Fuck, one of my wheels went a centimeter past the curbs! NASCAR Drivers: Nah bro that’s nothing. We go 16.53737 Lightyears past the curbs.
What penalty do you assign to the death of Jules Bianchi? How ironic he collided with one of the SAFETY vehicles. Been watching F1 long? Been much longer a time a death happened on NASSCAR CIRCUIT…
This move by Ross is the Motorsports version of the shot heard around the world. Literally everyone is talking about it and even non fans of NASCAR are going to tune into the finale just to see what happens. No matter how convoluted the format can be, even you were having trouble explaining it (been there done that), the hype generated by the move alone has people buzzing. Despite the downs of this year, 2022 still proves to be amazing for Motorsports 😎
The thing is that Phoenix raceway is a weird track, either it can have really good racing with many overtakes or average to below average racing. Us NASCAR fans don’t think it deserves to be the last race as another track homestead Miami has provided better racing as a finale over the years and because it’s a track we’re very used to seeing as a finale
@@RedlineVelocity24 I used to watch NASCAR about a decade ago. Why did they move the finale from Homestead Miami to Phoenix Raceway? Gee, now I know how long-time F1 fans feel about Interlagos (Brazil) being upstaged by Yas Marina (Abu Dhabi) for the final race of the season...
@@NN010 Because the owners of Phoenix spent more money to have the finale hosted at their speedway( like Abu Dhabi stealing Sau Paulos date because of money). It bums me out a bit because homestead has been home to some great racing and best moments of the 2010s of NASCAR. I’d still definitely recommend checking out the finale at Phoenix since the racing is bound to be wild especially with the new stock cars
@@NN010 As an average F1 enjoyer I feel your pain. Interlagos not being the finale hurts every year. So sad that other racing series suffer the same. I'm not a fan of NASCAR racing and cannot keep entertained for an entire race but I can deeply relate to the passion and enthusiasm these fans have. In my early teens I realized we are not so different after all. Motorsports is crazy no matter where you do it. I hope NASCAR recovers from their slump, we can't lose the crazy stories.
Good to see NASCAR getting some reperesentation in wider media. Before I was an F1 fan, I was a NASCAR fan. It's a tremendously underrated series with a rich history. Also I believe Chastain was only a full-time Cup driver since last year? I've paid less attention the last two seasons, but I know he wasn't full-time in 2020. Though lower-series drivers are often given chances to start in select races, so that's probably why you said he started in 2017? Regardless, cool video! Poor Denny gets screwed out of a title every year haha.
If you're up for it Will, I'd like to see you do comedy reviews for either the 1979 Daytona 500 or the 1992 Hooters 500 in NASCAR. The 1979 Daytona 500 is the race that got NASCAR attention from the entire US for the first time. It was an exciting race from flag to flag with superb racing, a lot of wrecks, and a post-race fistfight caught on camera. The 1992 Hooters 500 meanwhile is arguably the best race ever in NASCAR, which started with six drivers who had at least a mathematical chance to win the season championship, a ton of drama, Richard Petty's final hurrah, and ending with the most unlikely champion in NASCAR history. Both have been covered extensively, but as far as I know, they've never gotten comedy review treatment. Given how hilarious you are and everything that happened in both those races, they're goldmines for your wit.
Great video. For those who have tuned out NASCAR, this season was a great time to start watching again. New cars, tracks, and drivers, as well as a continuous stream of storylines to follow have made almost every race something to look forward to.
For us Europeans he did an Alonso! Alonso is known for his cheeky moves like cutting corners but doing it in such way that it’s legal. Most of it first lap “incidents”. Like you charge with the field to the first corner, big chaos, and to avoid collision this it’s allowed to cut of the track to continue without damage. Well, he just charged of the track and gaining many places. In every other part in the race he would have to give those places back, but like I said, first lap, first corner there are some possibilities to get away with it. After this they really watched if it was intentional to gain or to avoid damage. I love this kind of thinking, it’s inspiring.
Earlier this year at Indy, Ross Chastain purposely missed the first corner during the chaos of the final restart. The access road he took put him next to the leader. At CoTA he got his first win in a pretty chaotic way as well. Dude wants to win at any cost.
Nice video! And nice to see this get covered on an F1 channel. Also for those wanting to see what NASCAR has to offer, as far as tracks, two words, Charlotte Roval. Which should not be as fun as it is. Also there's Pocono, which is a triangle. As a bonus, at the road course races, there's no such thing as track limits. Which leads to some interesting lines.
I mean....for when it goes wrong, look up Mike Harmon in 2002. Or, what happens to a stock car when you take a can opener to it. Srsly. Look up the pictures of Harmon's ruined car. That is terrifying stuff. Also that 1990 big wreck at Bristoll, TN. Same thing. Gate got hit. Car got wrecked. Thankfully. Doc Punch was on the scene.
Being an american AND a floridian myself, i can honestly say that you are 100% correct in the interpretation of us having tiny brains. And i also can confirm that floridians do in fact drive like this, with much less success. Im surprised you hadnt poked into it sooner. 😂
Great video especially coming from someone who isn’t really involved in the series. Honestly the reason this move was legal was because literally every time it’s been tried before by Kyle Larson and Carl Edwards, it was in the older cars which had high profile tires and weaker body panels so if you so much as touched the wall, you’re destroying the car. this new car has low profile tires and carbon composite body means that the body is stronger and hitting the wall is less likely to cut your tire down. Also because more often than not, you’re destroying the car as friction from the wall is literally tearing the car apart with Ross saying now that car is totaled.
And for those not familiar with NASCAR, totaling a car isn't a problem, since teams are allowed to change cars any time they want just as they can change engines and transmissions as often as they want. Sure totaling a car isn't great for a team's budget, but the bigger teams just assume they're going to have cars totaled during the season, so no big deal.
Sooo... I'm using RUclips for around 14 years by now (2008) and a regular occurrence of commenters was to insult the creators because they partners up with RUclips (back then I was a privilege only given out to the "stars") and started to earn some money with ads. They called them sellout and alike. But in this day and age nobody hides that it's a job and that's a development I enjoy. You get my moneee and click Will.
I never thought I would live to see the day a Brit discussing NASCAR, what an interesting world we live in. The only issue I have with the sport is it's too long, some races can be up to 4 hours.
You should look into Daniel Suarez. He is dating Verstappen's GF's sister. Daniel also got into a pit fight a few years and beat the other driver pretty easily.
wait, I did that shit in video games too...could I... could I be a nascar driver!?!?! Also, an American here, and your comment on our brains...well, accurate :D
To anyone who doesn't watch NASCAR and decided to watch the final race, I'm sorry that race was pretty bad. Phoenix is a pretty bad track. It would be like F1 having the championship decided at Monaco every year.
Let's hope for a good championship race. Maybe now you Europeans will see what us small-brained Americans love about this sport XD I'm aware we're stupid
It probably shouldn't but at the time it was a grey area rule after all no one would be dumb enough to through it into the wall like that at full speed no less
Once he got himself against the wall, which has a Safer Barrier built on it, wasn't much that could go wrong, short of him shredding a tire. But since he was against the wall, well he'd stay there.

He will do burnout in a farm full of watermelons 😂
And that's why I love racing.
How do you started racing?
My parents sell Watermelons to keep up with my training costs.
What a legend

That’s 1.5 seconds faster. Do you even math bruv?
@@President-JonSnow.Malkowich It slowed down over the last year.

I tuned back in the around the middle of this year and have loved every race
Jenson Button and Kimi Raikkonen will race at NASCAR Cup Race on March 26th at COTA.
6:59 - yooo there's me for like 0.5 seconds
Love to see your take on sprintcar racing, both winged and nonwinged.
you know something is good is when the motorbike racing community is talking about it as well.
I may be one of few Brits that follow NASCAR, I could not believe what I saw. On to Phoenix for the finale
Going to add, Denny is wrecking Chastain in Phoenix
