2:21 That's one reason I love Ross, he's still got his social graces. Still calls people "sir" and "ma'am", he's humble, and he's fun to watch!!

Bros putting out high quality videos like it’s going out of style. (Edit): I’m an idiot. “As frequently as the sun goes down” was me trying to use a metaphor. No wonder I failed English.

"What was he thinking in this moment?... home, in the watermelon fields..." that gave me chills

"Hail Melon" is the "Pass In The Grass" of this century. I don't think we'll ever see a spectacular move like that ever again.

that transition at 9:39 left me speechless, holy crap.

It literally doesn't matter how many times I watch this pass or a video about it, I get chills every time. Just plain legendary.

I really hope Ross Chastain sees this video down the road its absolutely crazy and incredible how much his career has transformed into one of the most talented drivers in NASCAR today.

As a fan, I find it literally impossible to dislike Ross Chastain. I actually LAUGH every time I see that pass. It is literally one of the most insanely ridiculous things I've ever seen. It was a stupid idea that turned out to be pure genius. That one move probably got him more fans than any single race has ever made people fans of any other racer in the history of motorsports.

No matter if Ross ever gets back into a car or not. He’s forever cemented himself as a NASCAR legend.

not only was the move just plain awesome, but rick allen, dale jr, and jeff burtons excitement in the booth really sell it rick allens "take a look at what he did!" will probably be one of the most memorable and iconic calls in nascar history

Crazy how things come full circle, like Ross getting his first professional ride in a car that was vacated by his future boss

Bro did track cutting, wall riding, and impromptu PIT maneuvers. Basically, he's just a gamer. A _professional_ gamer.

"Florida Man drives car straight into wall to make it into championship race"

Wonderful documentary, thank you, as an F1 fan Europe-side, whole world saw this wall-ride move (including F1 drivers tweeting e.g. Alonso and others) and I know a little about Nascar but had no idea of this guy's history. Thanks for sharing it. Wonderful to see the 'anti-hero' succeed! btw I have no doubt that wall-riding will be disallowed in future, doesn't take anything away from what he did though.

this move was the highlight of the race, nobody remembers the actual winners but everyone remembers this moment, when he just put the door to the wall and the pedal to the floor to make the cut for the championship.

9:38 the smoothest transition in youtube history

I’ve become a huge fan of Ross over the last 2 seasons. Guy is gritty, self made, and has earned everything he has in this sport. He is one of the bright spots in a sport that is blighted by egregious nepotism. That Cup championship will be coming soon.

I never watched nascar a day in my life until I seen the move chastain pulled off I instantly became a fan and started searching you tube for videos of the history on the sport. And your content is by far the most supreme of them all. Continue onward brother and may god bless you (:

The pacing of information in this video kept me engaged throughout the whole thing, and when the end credits rolled around I was surprised to see 20 minutes had gone by! Incredible editing as well, awesome video man!

Been keeping up with your content since last year. Good to see you finally get the recognition you deserve!

You're making the kind of content I and many others have always wanted, keep up the good work!

This is the first video I was recommended from you, and I love this style of content. You have a serious editing talent. Instantly subscribed. Keep up the good work.

I love the style of editing and presentation in this video. To me it is very reminiscent of Emplemon nascar videos, and I rewatch those periodically. This is another one I'll probably rewatch from time to time. Great job man.

This is the content NASCAR fans need

I loved what he did even though I knew nothing about racing, but knowing that he just barely beat his rival with this literal video game move just makes it all the more badass.

Ross Chastain, Daniel Suarez and Trackhouse Racing is my favorite driver and team combination!!! Go Trackhouse!!!

I always had a love for backmarkers, Ross and Gray Gaulding were two that always caught my eye. Happy he finally made it!!

17:20 is my favorite part of this video. The added sounds and visuals is amazing. The commentary too. Absolutely phenomenal video, keep it up

This move turned me from someone who liked Ross Chastain to my FAVORITE driver. A never-say-die pass that reminded me of something Earnhardt Sr would do. Love it!

Amazingly done, love the backstory and context that leads up to “the pass”. Ross’s season was incredible considering a new team and relative inexperience. I’ve been a fan since the BKR days and although he had lots of rough patches, I still love him

Bro that BRISTOL TRANSITION WAS PERFECT!!!!

I love the 2020 Darlington post-race interview because it shows how good Chastain is at the subtle mind games. Referring to Denny Hamlin as a future Cup champion is a back-handed way of highlighting his lack of championships and putting more pressure on Hamlin to go out and win one.

That was a great story! good story telling and plenty of info tucked in.... you deserve way more subs that you have.

Still unbelievable every time I see it... Great job!

1 thing about his second big break with the 42 Xfinity car: he got the ride because while he was racing the 4 car, he was also driving people’s motor homes to the track. One of the guys that hired him was the owner of DC Solar. He liked him so much, that he decided to make him his full time motor home driver, and that led to him getting Chip to agree to put Ross in the 42 car for a few races. The Darlington race where he fought with Harvick is really where he first got noticed big time (he was invited to the Dale Jr download after that). Loved the video, just thought that was a good bit to mention.

I’m so glad I got into NASCAR this past year, I didn’t know who to root for at first, so I picked the car I thought looked best which at the time was Denny Hamlin. Ironically, some crazy watermelon farmer from Florida would win me over for the rest of the season with two wild wins at completely different tracks. The Hail Melon, Martinsville Miracle, Florida Man Full Send, whatever you want to call it, has solidified that Ross Chastain is the greatest racecar driver of the new generation. Sure he didn’t win the championship, but you can be damn sure he’s here to stay in this sport for a long time to come. Thanks for making this video and making me love Ross even more.

1:27 already made me want to subscribe, and wonder why this only has 29k views, top tier shit

Awesome video I loved Ross And now after that move I love him even more He did the impossible Truly a moment that will be remembered forever

Emplemon/SlapShoes quality video and storytelling my man, you've earned yourself another sub 👍

Amazing video! Your content is top tier! Keep up the good work! 👊0 Edit: Just finished watching... Thank you for this masterpiece! I really hope you make it in this community! This was an amazingly well put together and crafted video. Best of luck to you man!

Ross Chadtain

The best part was the reaction from other drivers, they were laughing their asses off, well everyone but Larson, who called it embarrassing. Man was just mad Ross made it work when he failed.

This is cinema. Incredible job. As a huge Chastain fan for several years thank you for putting together the best summary of his story, so far. Awesome job!

I love how Larson criticized Chastain after the Martinsville race when he tried the same move and was just mad cause it didn't work.

I got back into Nascar at the start of the 2020 season & watched until the last lap of COTA in 2022 without finsinf a driver I felt strongly enough go pull for. Witnessing Ross's first win & learning more about him I had found my driver. A handful of wins & a hail melon later I don't regret my choice! Hope to see him take home a checker in May ar Darlington when I attend my first IRL race.

Great video! It shows just how hard it is to make it in Nascar. Big names crap on the younger guys. Ross earned his way in the hard way. He thinks outside the box. I love this guy, most exciting driver in a long time. What he did at Martinsville was amazing! It is one thing to do it in a video game, takes a whole different set of watermelons to actually do it.

Great video. Just found your channel and you got some great videos. In 2018 Chastain did a Q and A at Chicagoland that we went too and my mom though he was Aric Almirola. Never knew he would become such a personality racing for championships

i started following chastain in 2017 when he was driving for JD motorsports in the xfinity series. I thought it was funny he drove the flex tape car, looked more into him and instantly saw talent in him. the 2018 darlington race hurt. Las vegas was unbelivable. kansas felt unreal. i still cant belive chastain is a 2x cup winner and a final four competetor. i cant even describe how proud i am of chastain and the entire #1 team this season. heres to more in the future. #presstheattack

Even as an F1 fan, I gotta say that this guy has one of the best racing moments in history locked for the rest of time

Playing "Watermelon Man" at the end made me laugh so hard

I know you're a NASCAR youtuber but I would love to see a series where you just do a deep dive on insane moments from various sports because this content is movie quality dude.

This has the quality and feel of a slapshoes video great job

Wow. The production quality is through. The. Roof. This is amazing stuff, man. Keep up the good work!

a 20 minute and 3 second video just for a pass this man is crazy he puts in alot of work into his videos

Of all the videos i have sen about this move, This has to be by far one of the best. Not just about the overtake it's self. How it came to be, so many things had to happen for this moment and this for me says a lot of them, Very well made mate. Enjoyed every min, one in a million for this to happen. So many things came together in that moment. What a move.

Just found your videos a few days ago and man I have to say, you are a great storyteller and your editing is great as well.

watermelon man at the end, nice touch

I don't watch Nascar, mostly cause I'm in Europe and it's not the easiest to find on TV. Also because the weird format and all the crashes is not quite what I like. But every fucking time I hear "you made the transfer man!" I get goosebumps. That shit was absolutely wild. Seriously That's some mad bullshit that only a Nascar driver could come up with. In a game with zero real consequences? Sure I'll do a lot of dumb shit just to try and get an advantage but to do that in real life? Madness. Pure and utter madness.

This is one of my favorite videos of all time

This is not a video it’s a movie, well done

Mike Skinner's 2001 pass in the grass at Texas is the greatest pass in NASCAR history. Nobody talks about it but I super stand by it, haha.

You just know denny was questioning if life was a simulation that night 😂

The main character move.

I must say, this is the next big NASCAR KZfaqr, these videos are amazing and entertaining!

FUN FACT: All of the Championship 4 drivers from 2022 were from small towns

18:56 as a fan of both F1 and NASCAR, as well as a big Smoke fan, I particularly appreciated that Tony Stewart gag. Great video, bro. Looking forward to the next one.

Absolutely Amazing. You’re content is an absolute pleasure to watch!

Fantastic video! Great content, editing, and humor!

This is a damn fine doc. And the subject worthy. Ross will be a champ.

The BEST NASCAR video someone has put out there. The quality & production is amazing, and nothing is oversaturated. Greatly laid out, THANK YOU.

Amazing video, really informative. Loved that you not only discussed the move but gave so much context to who Chastain is. Looking forward to what you make next!

Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic content.

Well produced. Binging all these at work

Your quality is amazing! So well done

My Uncle works for Trackhouse/Chip Ganassi. Back in 2015 I got to tour their shop and they keep all their winning cars in the exact shape they left the track in which was really cool. My uncle builds most of the carbon fiber components for the xfinity cars but I havent been in touch with him much the past few years so I don’t know much beyond that.

This was very well done!!

GREAT video. Absolutely enthralling, like the pass. Please do more.

Really glad the algorithm fed me this video, very very well done my man, I see a very bright future for your channel with this level of content :)

I was just watching your video about NASCAR's officiating from 2 weeks ago and in that video you mentioned you were going to make a video about this topic in the future, I was elated when I looked at your channel and saw you uploaded this video just a couple hours ago. This was very well-made and entertaining, please keep it up!!

Ross has been racing in NASCAR a lot longer than most realize

Ross out there doing my home state proud. He's definitely here to stay. Excellent job taking us down the road of his journey. Keep it up.

Dude, I don't even know what to say, this video is just amazing. Thanks for bringing the NASCAR community content it needs!

Awesome video, very well made!

Dude, hell of a video! Keep her up!

It was an awesome documentary, keep it going dude!

More please. More great content like this!

Such a great video man!

You should be proud of this video man. This was awesome

Excellent video! .....and subscribed..

This is great, truly a great video and worth my time. I don't follow Nascar but I'm still a fan of racing so I saw that move, and brother that's racing if I've ever seen it.
