Ross Chastain’s crazy wall-ride pass earns him a shot at a NASCAR title:
Ross Chastain needed to make up five positions on the last lap of the Xfinity 500 to make it into the final round of the NASCAR playoffs, and he did just that with an insane pass.
Taking inspiration from video games he played as a kid, Chastain kept his foot on the throttle and rode the wall to blast past playoff rival Denny Hamlin right before he crossed the line. Chastain even upshifted as he made the bold overtake, and seemed equally surprised as those watching that the maneuver worked out.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. On the final lap of the 2022 Xfinity 500, the penultimate race in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, Ross Chastain knew he needed to overtake Denny Hamlin to advance to the final round. With Hamlin five places ahead, Chastain made one of the craziest passes the sport has ever seen, riding the wall around the last two corners, slingshotting his way past several cars to beat Hamlin's No. 11 Toyota by a nose.
