Welcome, lapsed NASCAR fans, casual NASCAR fans, never-were NASCAR fans. Perhaps you've lost touch with the great American sport of NASCAR racing. Perhaps you tuned out when Dale Earnhardt ascended to that great Victory Lane in the sky, or when legends like Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart hung up their steering wheels. Perhaps you've never quite understood the allure of driving fast in circles.
AVONDALE, ARIZONA - NOVEMBER 03: Ross Chastain, driver of the #1 Moose Fraternity Chevrolet, speaks to the media during the NASCAR Championship 4 Media Day at Phoenix Raceway on November 03, 2022 in Avondale, Arizona. Welcome, lapsed NASCAR fans, casual NASCAR fans, never-were NASCAR fans. Perhaps you’ve lost touch with the great American sport of NASCAR racing.
Allow me to introduce you to Ross Chastain, the daredevil watermelon farmer who ought to be your new favorite NASCAR driver. Chastain, an eighth-generation watermelon farmer, is also one of four drivers competing for the 2022 Cup Series championship this weekend in Phoenix. That's important, yes, but not nearly as important as how he got there: by pulling off the"Hail Melon,"that even NASCAR lifers were at a loss for words.
On the final lap of the Martinsville race, needing to pass two cars to race his way into the championship, Chastain didn’t pursue the typical weave-through-traffic approach. Instead, he tried something never seen outside of a video game: he slammed his car into the wall, then used the curve of the wall to increase his velocity and slingshot him into the championship.
