Five years from now few will remember the winner of this race, but everyone will remember Ross's last lap move

[tylerdurden]

If he goes on to win, we just witnessed the greatest championship winning move of all time that will never be beat. In all of sports.

Earnhardt's "Pass in the Grass" move, and now Ross's "At All Costs" move will live on in NASCAR history for many, many, many years!

Dale is smiling down on this rookie. Dale would have been the first to shake his hand after this move. Absolutely incredible

That made me feel like I was watching Nascar in the 80s again. Kudos and mad respect to this guy. This is the kind of racing we need more of!

[kevinkinney]

Innovative, creative and ballsy as hell. Im sure NASCAR will make that illegal from now on... But He earned the spot give Him credit. 👍

[brianakelley]

As an f1 fan, this dude has not only done one of the coolest things I’ll see in racing in my lifetime, but even more he’s made me watch nascar and want to watch nascar. Never knew someone could do that. Amazing, incredible, still not over it.

[mclark]

It’s interesting how the game physics actually predicted this accurately

[acrock]

This guy is single handedly holding together nascar... in their worst times of history... ive been saying this man is special... I believe he has what it takes to stand with peers of 7 time champions.

I think that was possibly the most ballsy move I've ever seen in motor racing.
I can only imagine the thoughts that went through his head. "If I die doing this, I'm going through those pearly gates at 200mph backwards and on fire"

[DontTakeMeSeriously]

Been a Nascar fan for 40 years, that was the coolest move i have ever seen, bar none, on a Nascar track. Nothing but Respect!

[Crackers]

Most unreal move I have EVER seen in NASCAR and I have been following it for over 60 years...! Unbelivable, loved it!!!! I love this kid, a throwback real deal racer...!!!

[jeffnpatricia]

Ross will be remembered forever in the nascar world for this move.

[SwornRandom]

What a great interview, well spoken incredibly intelligent guy. Brought a video game move to life, in history forever now.

[jlyonsden]

Definition of FULL SEND!!! FRIGGIN UNBELIEVABLE. BEST MOVE EVER!!!

[shangron]

This is why I love this guy. Definitely not an every Martinsville race move, and many others have tried it and failed. He got very very very lucky.

[charlesharter]

When you've got nothing to lose, go for it! First Hail Mary I've seen applied to NASCAR. Kudos!!!

[JOHNABLANK]

Unbelievable!!! Wildest thing I ever saw on the track! Congratulations for putting it all on the line, and making it work for you! It will be

This move is what's gonna bring me back to watching NASCAR again after years of IMSA, IndyCar, and F1

[robertrussell]

I've been a Ross Chastain fan from the very beginning and he just blew my mind and made the most exciting move in racing history of all time. GENIUS
