“What the f*** was the 1 doing?” Erik Jones said. “He actually passed people doing that?”
Brandon McReynolds, Chastain’s spotter, was thrilled by the move.
“You made the transfer! You made the transfer, man! That was f****** ridiculous dude!” McReynolds said.
“That was wild, man. That was wild! I don’t know how long you’ve been sitting on that move, but that was f****** incredible.”
Chastain admitted after the race where he got the move from.
“Played a lot of NASCAR 2005 on the GameCube. I never knew if it actually worked. I did that when I was 8. I grabbed fifth gear down the back and full committed,” he said.
