My actual thought process during the Chastain wallride: *cuts to finish line shot* "Oh sh*t someone's in the wall!" "Oh sh*t it's Chastain!" "Oh sh*t he passed Hamlin!" *confused* "Oh sh*t he gunned it and did a wallride!"
When me and my group watched the wall ride, our reactions were about the same. My own perspective, I thought someone just blew a tire or got bumped and smashed into the outside wall and it was "drive a broken car to the finish line, it's only 10 feet away" When they showed the replay and the full scope of what happened was understood, I was howling with laughter and bewilderment at the insanity of it. Even now I'm still shocked that it worked.
I remember seeing the wallride live. I genuinely didn’t believe what I had just seen… it didn’t seem real. I leapt off my couch when I saw it and it took me forever to comprehend what actually happened. Legendary move.
I am finally gonna get context for the (only NASCAR) clip I watched every evening for at least 10 days in a row. Am an F1 fan that doesn’t have easy access to NASCAR. This is gonna be a ride. Edit: Oh. I am so happy I am aware of this moment in motorsport. Awesome race.
@@Ace0843 i mean there was no way ross was gonna know that until after the race anyways, his desperation was warranted cos as far as he knew it was his only option
@@IElrekkaI oh ofc But it’s still kinda funny Imagine hearing a few days later dennys out and Ross was in. Tbh idk how nascar would do that. It’s never happened before so would nascar of only fined brad or would he still of been dq
@@timechanger9162 My best guess is either they just don't DQ Brad in the first place (because who would ever know otherwise) OR they make it a Championship 5 and put Ross in but keep Denny. It'd be a shitshow and a half if Denny got taken out because of a DQ that didn't even involve him or JGR, but it'd also be a shitshow if it happened and they said "nope sorry final 4's staying as it is." The precedent was already set that NASCAR can do whatever the hell they want when they put Gordon in as a 13th Chaser after Spingate, and that'd be the closest comparison to what would be happening in that scenario.
I remember watching that live i never saw him on the wall probably cause i was watching it on my phone. All i see is a ton of smoke and hes passing denny im like how he was done half a lap ago
