Earlier this week NASCAR formally announced that Ross Chastain’s famous last lap desperation move around the Martinsville (Va.) Speedway half-miler will not be allowed going forward.
Chastain smiled when asked his feelings about the “one-and-done” nature of his move in the No. 1 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet when he “floored” the accelerator and hugged the outside wall to earn a position in the Championship 4 Round on the last lap of the October race.
“I was proud indeed that I was able to take advantage of that like I did,” said Chastain, who finished runner-up in the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series championship.
“I’m proud of it. But I don’t ever want to do it again.”
