Martinsville removes and preserves wall from Chastain NASCAR wall-ride

The track has decided to remove a section of the Turns 3-4 wall, which Chastain's car slammed against in a daring full-throttle manoeuver known now as the 'Hail Melon.' It's also been referred to as the 'Martinsville Miracle' and various other nicknames.

He passed five cars on the final lap and broke the track record in a moment that left all watching speechless. The move immediately went viral across social media and gave Chastain the opportunity to fight for the championship in the 2022 title-decider at Phoenix.
