G force nascar11/21/2023 In choosing to run the championship race at Phoenix, NASCAR seemingly is willing to tolerate some degree of shenanigans as the track features a short cut built into the dog leg but Bell said it's not the same as running full throttle around the wall. "I hope that (they make a rule against it) because I promise you it will be used again," Christopher Bell said. ![]() It does not feel good to slam the wall and ride it that long and the G-forces that I felt are not really something I want to feel ever again."īut there is a conviction it could be done again and be done on Sunday - especially if the championship comes down to a late restart. "Going to Phoenix, a lot of people are thinking if you can do it again and I was in the car at Martinsville it was not pleasant. "I don't want to do it again," Chastain said on Sunday at Championship Media Day in Phoenix. Chastain himself has not tested such a move at Phoenix on the simulator but teammate Daniel Suarez has. Needing to gain two positions on the final lap on Sunday at Martinsville, Chastain grabbed fifth gear and drove full throttle into the wall in Turns 3 and 4 and never lifted until he got past the finish line, picking up five spots and earning the opportunity to race for the championship.Īnd now that this car has proven durable enough to make it work at Martinsville, now there is a natural curiosity of if the championship could be won with a similar maneuver on Sunday at Phoenix Raceway. To advance to the final four, Ross Chastain executed one of the wildest, most inconceivable moves in NASCAR history and his peers aren’t sure it should ever be permitted again.
