When the Freebird Solo Hits | Chastain’s Martinsville Wall Ride |

[@someguy4384]

I cannot possibly describe how amazing this is. Not only because it worked. But because there's someone out there who didn't qualify for the next round due to this specific thing. There's an entire ocean of salt out there just brooding in a garage somewhere and I love it.

[@SirFloofy001]

Theres audio of this person as it happens, its the camera angle ith the radio shouting "outside!" the whole race was just a backdrop to these two's battle.

[@GalaxyTheMantledBeast]

@@SirFloofy001 my favorite reaction was just a completely confused "what in the hell?"

[@iamthedrumandbassfarmer8735]

literally overtook and eliminated denny hamlin at the line, and not the first time those two have tangled on track still the guy will defend the playoff elimination format lmao

[@platiuscyndar9017]

Funnily enough, the guy that got eliminated this way was like the ONE dude that wasn't extremely salty about it iirc

[@BalooUriza]

And the explanation was nuts, too. Thought he was gonna lose so decided to see if that trick from the video game worked in real life.

Ross Chastain’s wall ride almost has the same energy as Dale Earnhardt’s pass in the grass.

[@chipsdubbo4861]

Kinda but not really, Earnhardt's "Pass" in the Grass, was really just saving his car and maintaining his position after Bill Elliott basically dumped him(If you wanna see Earnhardt REALLY pass someone through the grass, or rather dirt, he did it to Geoff Bodine in the 1987 Riverside race) Whereas here Chastain pulled an insane hyper aggressive move to pick up as many spots as possible

@@fast71hayden why?

[@yasielescalona]

@@theodom1858 because if he turned normally like everyone else he wouldn’t have passed anyone and been eliminated

[@theodom1858]

@@yasielescalona no I get that, but I mean right at the end after he passes the other cars it seems as though he’s not just hugging the wall but actively pushing into it (to slow down?). I don’t know anything about nascar but I’m curious.

[@yasielescalona]

@@theodom1858 the side of the car touches the wall but it doesn’t touch the wheel so it doesn’t slow him down as much. And he will slow down a lot more turning like everyone else compared to the wall turn

[@juanatethejetdryer7580]

Remember kids: Your car can withstand more wall damage and your engine runs at least 50% faster when Free Bird is playing

[@Phlegm187]

If you listen really closely you can hear him screaming Shake and Bake out the window as he is passing everyone on the wall.

[@joh2434]

He literally did a pro gamer move 😂

[@i_bims_ei_devil1301]

The Best thing is that the Driver said hes remembers doing that a lot in a Race Game back in the Days ( Dont know if it was Need For Speed) so he just did it in that Race. He just gave af about anything and did it xD

[@deHExi]

No literally, the on board computer shows right after someone told him he needs two points, his foot hit the floor, he threw it into 5th, and let up. Actually broke the speedometer after he hit 130.

[@GalaxyYeaYea]

@@deHExi im pretty sure he went into 5th gear, which no other racer has done before

[@deHExi]

@@GalaxyYeaYea Yes the heck he did.

[@tomlawson4713]

@@deHExi He also had to let go of the steering wheel during the turn, as if he had moved it his wheels would have clipped the wall. Just an insane play.
