@Tarod5 Год назад

@@pilotspike It's among the best move I've ever seen in every motorsport. But gaining 2s on the last turn on the last lap on a shortrack like this one is too strong to not do it (any driver can do this not just Chastain). If I was a crew chief, I would talk to my drivers if they consider doing it. It's probably only worth it on this track but whatever it could become something stupid with half of the field chosing to wall ride. I just don't want this great move becoming the start of a bad trend that would be a meme for sure.

@danielbutler148 Год назад

The reason this worked at Martinsville, and wont work at other tracks, is the difference in corner speed vs straightaway speed. At Martinsville these cars are braking to at least 45% of their straightaway speed. No other tracks do this. Chastain was slowing as he scrubbed around the wall, but nowhere near the extent the others were braking. Numbers I would like to see is what percentage of Chastain's speed was lost when he got off the wall on the front stretch. At Bristol, if you lose 12 to 15 percent of your speed on the wall, but only lose 10 percent of your speed under normal braking, no advantage.

@wildwind4456 Год назад

This is one of those moves where the driver did nothing wrong - it was perfectly legal, and Chastain deserves credit for having the nerve to try it. At the same time, NASCAR should never allow this to happen again. Though I agree that the correct answer is to do something about the design of the car so that it is no longer an *advantage* to do this, rather than trying to make rules against it which potentially would lead to messy judgement calls. As some others have observed, now that everyone has seen this, the next time someone tries it, *someone* will defend against it. And that could end up making a really big mess. Better to take that possibility off the table. Again, though, all credit to Chastain for doing it the first time. Finding loopholes in the rules is part of the great tradition of NASCAR. But so is closing those loopholes once they're discovered.

@FreshTillDeath56 Год назад

This literally only could have been done at Martinsville specifically. To my knowledge, it's one of the only tight turns that would actually give you the shorter distance to just take the turn along the wall. All other tracks it would be more efficient to just drive normally.

Something they failed to mention in this working the way it did is the timing of it. If Ross was a second further back and tried this while it would have been spectacular, he wouldn't have beat Hamlin to the finish line and would have just been the laughing stock of NASCAR. If Ross was a second further ahead and tried this he would have slammed into the back of Keslowski going 70mph faster than him and due to Newtons 1st law would have likely lost all momentum propelling Keslowski through the finish line and wouldn't have beaten Hamlin.

@dougrobinson8602 Год назад

On top of Christopher Bell's walk-off win, which he needed due to Bubba's poor anger management skills, we have the most exciting move I've ever seen. If NASCAR doesn't come up with a rule about this, we'll see it again. While it was cool to watch, there are a lot of things that could have gone wrong, especially since nobody saw it coming. Carl Edwards tried the same thing at Kansas years ago, and it was pretty cool to see that, but it didn't work because the steel bodied cars crumple and tires blow. The composite bodies are strong enough (too strong, IMO) to let this work. It makes for exciting viewing, but it's just so dangerous.
