Chastain entered the final corner at Martinsville Speedway and simply did not lift, passing five cars, breaking the track record and snatching the hopes of progressing to the final four from Denny Hamlin while riding against the outside wall.
Videos of the move became viral and it was viewed over 100 million times across social media. Having progressed into the battle for the title through his wall-ride, Chastain turned that into a runner-up finish in the championship standings, losing out in the title race to Joey Logano.
