Ross Chastain recently spent time with a damaged Trackhouse Racing car outside of Martinsville Speedway, reliving the video game-like move he made last fall that propelled him to the championship race and led to a rule change by NASCAR. The car, known as the Hail Melon, will never be raced again, and the wall that Chastain hit will not be impacted again. The car was on display at the Chevrolet exhibit for fans to see. Chastain, who was eliminated from the postseason, will not need to make a similar move this time. Last year, he drove straight into the Turn 3 wall, riding it all the way to the finish line and gaining crucial positions in the playoffs. Despite hitting the wall hard and driving fast, the No. 1 car held up well, thanks to the Next Gen body’s durability. Chastain is still in disbelief when watching the video of his daring move and is grateful for the opportunity to compete for a championship.
