NASCAR driver Ross Chastain rocketed from 10th to 5th place in the final turn of a 500-lap race yesterday, securing himself a spot in the end-of-season Cup race and in NASCAR history, too. And he did it with a move he learned in a videogame.
"Played a lot of NASCAR 2005 on the GameCube."@RossChastain explained his video-game move. #NASCAR pic.twitter.com/4jkF6BzAgkChastain made use of the classic 'wall-riding' manoeuvre: accelerating into the racetrack barrier at full speed and letting it steer him past five competitors.
It clearly worked out, as Chastain's position among the four racers in the Championship this coming Sunday will attest, but not everyone is thrilled about the racer's game-inspired antics. Last year's championthat the move was"not a good look for our sport, at all [...] I think it's pretty embarrassing".

A man who was given the odds and took it
