Ross Chastain pulled off the NASCAR cup series ‘Move of the decade’ at Martinsville last Sunday. The Trackhouse Racing driver pinned his car to the wall in the final two corners and drove at full speed. This helped him to gain more than five places, enough to secure a Championship 4 entry.
The reaction from the NASCAR cup grid and the community to Chastain’s move was mixed with applause and harsh criticism. Chastain’s move was well within the boundaries of the racing laws but was a dangerous attempt. If anything had gone wrong, it might have been a catastrophe.
Talking about his video game-inspired move on Phoenix media day, Chastain acknowledged that he has no idea why his move to Martinsville worked. He doesn’t have any plans to repeat the unpleasant activity. He said, “Why it worked, I don’t know. I have no ideas or plans to ever do that again because it was not pleasant,”.

Ross Chastain gives more insight into his crazy Martinsville move
Ross Chastain revealed that he still has no idea why the move worked at Martinsville even after people explained it to him. He is clueless about how the car didn’t slow down or how the tires didn’t go flat.
“I don’t think it’s a move that can have any success at Martinsville. I still don’t know why it worked. Like, I look back at it, I look at the physics of it, I have people explain to me what happened, what I felt, why that car did not slow down, why it kept air in the tires,” Ross Chastain said.
Ross Chastain said that he kept the car pinned into the wall as the right front suspension and front upper control arm were broken. He only felt it after the car crossed the finish line.
“The right front suspension broke, and the right front upper control arm was broken, but I could get across the line before I could feel it. Down into one, I kept it pinned on the wall because it was broken,” Ross Chastain added.
