Up until now, the top four most amazing things I have seen done on a NASCAR track we're all held by none other than Mr Dale Earnhardt senior. The pass in the grass, straightening the s-turns at Riverside to pass Bodine and a lap car, hanging out of the driver's window to clean his windshield under caution at Richmond, and getting back into a flipped race car to salvage points. With much respect to Dale and all of his accomplishments, those four moments are now numbers 2 through 5 of the most amazing things I've seen.

@@Bload72productions Dales wasn’t even technically a pass in the grass. Chastain went for broke

Pass in the grass wasn’t even a pass!

I dont want this to become the Meta but it being a one time thing is perfect. Even non-Nascar fans reached out to me to talk about the Chastain move. I like the buzz it gathered. I hope new people tune in next sunday and witness a great championship race. Go get it Ross!

There was so much going on that nobody even noticed Briscoe almost making the Championship 4. What a crazy race!

[@speedwayanywhere6845]

It was kind of like Alex Zanardi at Laguna Seca when he destroyed his car going across the corkscrew. If you wreck your car and know that you don't need it so be it. I totally love the Bonsai move

[@dphylan]

Great race with a crazy finish! Glad I got to see it live.

It deserves way more on the Groovy Gauge, if only for the final lap creative application of rubbing is racing. And as long as it is clean and crafty, no need to ban and hard to say if anyone will ever get away with something like that again with no cars along the wall at all..

I couldn't even watch the final 2 laps I was so anxious! Then I open my eyes and Chastain is in the round of 4!!! My mind is blown completely! I thought he was out for sure. And congrats to Bell for the must win!

I’ve been watching nascar for 37 years and I’ve never seen anything like that the pass in the grass the 18-1 in 4 laps the Craven Kurt Busch beating and banging all good finishes but the chastain move PRICELESS man priceless

[@bluegrassboy2448]

Ross definitely went "out of the groove" 🤣
