Carl Edwards, Kyle Larson and Sheldon Creed have all tried that move. Chastaine is the first to actually pull off that move. We need a physics lesson on that shit.

Moves like that and I met end up being a Chastain fan yet.

I wish we could have seen the look on Hamlin's face.

I wish we could have seen the look on Hamlin's face. I am sure right as it happened he was like, huh? Then he saw who it was and went , "oh poop" or something like that. The shell shocked look out of the car after the race said it all. At least he didn't whine and gave Chastain credit.
Unlike Larsen who said the move was embarrassing. I am embarrassed that Larsen is a past Champion.

Add Joey to the list with Larson. Some good points by Joey but I don't see too many tracks that this would work at like yesterday. You need to gain a big speed advantage in the turns to make this work.

Chastain made it work - like him or not.
He lucked out in that those he passed weren't running the 'high line'. If someone behind Hamlin had been running the high line Chastain would have run out of room, and likely talent.

Will nascar make this move illegal? It would be tough to make work on most tracks. It worked at Martinsville because of the slow speeds in the tight corners.

Someone needs to remind Larson that he has done that before. So Larson needs to sit his butt down. What Ross did will not work everywhere and I highly doubt the car would last one lap.
What he did was not illegal. It will be now but it is not illegal as of this post. He had to do it perfectly and he did.

And he had to have the 'luck' that nobody between him and Hamlin were running near the wall to block his path.

Something that has been buried in all of the "news" of the Championship and Ross Chastain's incredible move:
Brad Keselowski, who, like Larson, took right-side tires only on his final pit stop, crossed the start/finish line fourth, but his No. 6 RFK Racing Ford was disqualified in post-race technical inspection for not meeting the minimum weight requirements per NASCAR Rule Book Setion 14.11.2, bumping Chastain to fourth in the official rundown with Hamlin fifth.

Minimum weight is the CARDINAL rule of motorsports from the lowest levels to the top. Something is wrong in Kez's shop.

1 - How light was this car in post-race inspection? I can't find anything that states this.
2 - How did the car pass pre-race weight but fail post-race? Was any ballast found on the track after the race?
More NASCAR bullshit.

Those are really good questions. NASCAR of course will never answer them. Was there any damage to the car that meant things were removed from the car? I do not think so. They don't use spring rubbers anymore. Back in the old days they used to load the frames with buckshot to make minimum weight, then they would open the frame and allow it out before the race started. It was visible rolling down the tracks like Daytona.
Brad's shop has had problems. Just remember the huge penalty he got back in March. You would think that they would steer clear of any issues. Nope.

Yeah, but weight is pretty much a no-brainer.
One would think the cars would get a little heavier due to rubber being picked up during the race.

None of it matters. If you're too light, you're too light. Period.

Several years ago, there was a situation in the NHRA where Angelle Sampey's Pro Stock Motorcycle was showing as being too light after a run.
The problem turned out to be the wind hitting the bike from the rear and was actually lifting the bike slightly. I think they started enclosing the scales after that. (I think)
