NASCAR drivers revisit 'Hail Melon' at Martinsville 🍉

One of the wildest things I have seen in a Nascar race. I loved it man!

[LumberjackMC]

Everyone gonna slide past the fact Byron said "big brain move" 😂😂😂

[LemonHooman]

I was there and Ross was easily doing like 130 on that line. Against a wall? That's insane

[southernmermaid]

I was in total shock, best part was inching out Hamlin to make him finish 5th AGAIN! 😎

[joshdrumheller]

I straight had to reattach my jaw when it happened it was so I was on a rant for hours. After that, it felt like!!!!

[bps]

It was one of those Wtf just happened moments!!!😂

Ross Chastain will live forever with all of the wild, iconic things he’s done.

This makes me want to crack open a beer, play free bird at full volume

Last guy to do stuff like that was Earnhardt Sr

[biker]

The main reason why so many people say that they were there is because of what you did literally made everyone feel even if they were watching on TV that they were there and they felt like they were a part of the race. As long as they used to play video games, especially racing games. You touched every single video game racers heart the day that that happened

My favorite cup driver, pulled off one of the best moves ever lol

[reginaldhall]

Senior was reincarnated as Ross Chastain

[beedoubleu]

Wonder how that lap time compared to the pole

[stephenbraden]

I know after that move Ross gotta alot of new fans

[ColtDaBolt]

I was watching live on TV with my parents and uncles. When chastain went around the turn. NO ONE SAW IT. When I saw his car on the front stretch. I thought it was Kevin Harvick( who also had a red paint sceme that day) Blew a tire until we saw it was Chastain and the replay and ALL OF ARE JAWS HIT THE FLOOR.

My hometown Martinsville Va the most peaceful town you can ever come. I worked that track when i was younger. If yall ever in Martinsville Va we tailgate every year near the helicopter pad.

[LESTR]

It worked because the wall (plus a car design that held up & didn't drag too much) let him plow through the corner at ridiculous speeds

[MKtagteamer]

Not only was the Hail Melon an all time great move, it pretty much solidifed Ross as the all time lap time leader at Martinsville 😅

[Harveyb]

Why they make a rule over someone smarter than everyone else?

The Watermelon 🍉 Man is after all is said and done a Florida Man. I mean that in the best way possible...
