Ross Chastain’s video-game move was one of the most incredible last lap moves in the history of the NASCAR Cup Series and one of the most astonishing highlights ever seen in the sport.
Chastain made the Championship 4 in the NASCAR playoffs after pulling off a seemingly impossible move at the recently concluded Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway.
The #1 Chevrolet driver who is known for his aggressive style of driving since the start of the 2022 season, sent his car on a ride on the outside wall at full speed and jumped several drivers, including Denny Hamlin, to seal the final Championship 4 spot by just one point.
NASCAR drivers on track were left surprised and impressed when Chastain pulled off a heroic move in front of them. NASCAR’s official Twitter handle shared a video in which team communication revealed that many drivers were left speechless by Ross Chastain’s video-game move.
Here are the reactions of the drivers from that video:
Joey Logano, the driver of #22 Ford said:
"Holy s—. You see that? Laughs. Oh my God."
Chase Briscoe, the driver of #14 Ford said:
"That was literally the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life. That was incredible."
Bubba Wallace Jr., the driver of #45 Toyota:
"Wow."
Erik Jones, the driver of #43 Chevrolet said:
"The f— was the 1 doing? He actually passed people doing that? Holy s—."
Denny Hamlin, the driver of #11 Chevrolet said:
"I guess we just lost on that? I did all I could do, Chris."
