Nascar banning the Chastain “Hail Melon”

NASCAR has banned the “Hail Melon” video-game move driver Ross Chastain used at Martinsville to race his way into the championship finale in 2022. Chastain mashed the gas and deliberately smashed into the wall so that the energy would speed his car past his rivals. The move advanced him into NASCAR’s finale, but fellow competitors thought the trick was dangerous and not in the spirit of fair competition.
