Think my jaw dropped when I watched that

 

[409gang]

That was one bold move and it got him into the playoff race!!!

 

[Ishiftem]

That was awesome!!!!

 

[boxerdog]

I bet they make some rule up real quick. Can you imagine the carnage when 5 guys pull that at the same time??

Now that’s thinking outside the box…….……..He looked like granny on the Clampett’s after a hit a moonshine…… ……. That’s the coolest shit I ever did see…….!!!!!……WOW……!!!!!

 

[La Hot Rods]

Personally I think this has been the best NASCAR racing in a long time with this new car. It seamed to have leveled the playing field with the cars being the same for the most part.

NASCAR I’ll nip that shit in the bud right away……They’ll have teams “checking” out into the “fast wall lane” just like truck drivers in the semi ‘s on the interstate…… they’ll cut them off at the pass…….!!!!!…….I’m still amazed …… that’s some of the coolest shit I’ve ever seen

I thought he hit the nitrous.
Guess he just hit another gear.

Be nice racing to watch if they all installed a big set of rollers on the side for running the wall. That move made a boring race interesting.

Gee guys anyone been with us at Darlington in the 60’s drinking beer at the Southern 500 Labor Day weekend and watching Petty, Pearson, and Cale and Bobby and Buddy getting their Darlington Stripe to gain a position?

In racin’ usually up near the wall is the fastest way around and less heat thus wear on the tires and in the words of one of the best wall racers, Richard Petty “ if you lose it you ain’t gonna hit as hard ‘cause you already there”

Ross will go down in Nascar history with that ''One and Done''!

Robert, i was stationed at Shaw AFB just outside Sumpter sc in 66,67 and 68. We went to a lot of races, Darlington, Rockingham, Charlotte and Daytona to name a few. Saw a lot of great racing.

So they said no rule yet....wonder who is next?

It was a pretty outrageous move, but it sure livened up the race.

By the time they get to all-electric cars racing will be really boring. Might as well be a video game and let the drivers smack each other with their keyboards when they get their feelings hurt.

Im with James....best racing in years. To bad it lasted only 30 seconds.
I said with Bubba Wallace's pit move that nascar might get interesting again. Most everyone was mad about that. Whats wrong with fist fights again? Some of those 50's & 60's races are still remembered not for the racing but the off track theatrics.

 

[62_Conv_2-4s]

I think he cheated. He should be kicked out of the playoffs and finned heavily.

 

[Barry Taylor]

If I’m not mistaken Carl Edwards tried that move at a different track before he retired. I don’t think it worked for him.

 

[63 dream'n]

The only person that really has a right to be upset about it would be the car owner………But with the Note-oriety he’s going to get from Ross’s move……I’m sure he’ll more than happily fill the bill……..If it’s a difference between your season ending in your season going on I think it was a wise choice…….Both the name recognition and the financial windfall

That tactic goes clear back to the Hudson Hornet days with their stepdown frames put the car against the wall or guardrail and use it to steer the car around the track with your foot on the floor.
