Ross Chastain’s Martinsville move is now against the rules.
NASCAR announced Tuesday that the wall-riding maneuver Chastain successfully pulled off to qualify for the championship race would not be allowed going forward. Chastain kept his foot on the gas and drove against the wall on the final lap of the race to pass enough cars and be one of the four drivers racing for the title in the final race of the season.
And now according to NASCAR’s rule book, “any violations deemed to compromise the safety of an event or otherwise pose a dangerous risk to the safety of competitors, officials, spectators or others are treated with the highest degree of seriousness.
