Will one of the four drivers racing for the title attempt to mimic Ross Chastain's wall-riding Martinsville move in an attempt to capture the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series championship? Don't rule it out completely. But don't count on it either.
MARTINSVILLE, VIRGINIA - OCTOBER 30: Ross Chastain, driver of the #1 Moose Fraternity Chevrolet, rides the wall on the final lap of the NASCAR Cup Series Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway on October 30, 2022 in Martinsville, Virginia. Will one of the four drivers racing for the title attempt to mimicin an attempt to capture the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series championship? Don't rule it out completely. But don't count on it either.
The absurd effectiveness of Chastain’s maneuver has made many in and around NASCAR wonder if what he did at the half-mile track could also be executed at the one-mile Phoenix Raceway on Sunday. By holding the throttle wide open and riding the wall in Turns 3 and 4 on the final lap, Chastain was nearly 2 seconds faster than every other driver on track and made up five positions in less than a quarter mile.
Chastain is one of the four racing for the championship in NASCAR’s winner-take-all race and he didn’t seem inclined to try it again. He said that he didn’t think riding the wall would be the way to win the race at Phoenix. The right front suspension broke, the right front upper control arm is broken, but I was able to get across the line before I could feel it,” Chastain said about what happened at Martinsville. “ … Why it worked, I don't know. I have no ideas or plans to ever do that again because it was not pleasant.”
Christopher Bell won that race at Martinsville to make the final four and said he believed that any of the four title-contending drivers would do whatever they have to do to win the championship.f NASCAR does not put a rule in place or police wall riding, I think that that will open up a huge, huge can of worms," Bell said."I think that all four of us will do whatever it takes to win a championship.
