Ross Chastain performed the iconic wall ride move at the 2022 Cup Series race at Martinsville. It was the penultimate race of the season, and Chastain wasn't in a position to qualify for the championship 4. The 32-year-old decided to copy a move from video games and ride the outside wall in the final lap to gain 6 positions and qualify for the season finale.
