While heaping praise onto RossChastain for his brazen last-lap move, joeylogano warned of potential consequences if NASCAR permits such maneuvers in the future:
While running tenth on the white flag lap, he shifted up into fifth gear, put the car into the outside wall, and drove full-throttle against it to the finish line. The brazen move earned him five positions, and gained Chastain entry into the Championship 4.While heaping praise onto the Trackhouse Racing driver, Logano also cautioned about allowing such maneuvers in the future.
"We all did it as kids. We all did it in the video game. That's how you made speed in the video game, that's what you did," laughed Logano. "Something we all thought about at one point. At least I thought about it a lot, but never really had the need to do it. Also kind of thought of how many races I could have won here by doing that. As spectacular as it was, as much as it worked, the problem is now the box is open, right? Now every Xfinity race, every Truck race, every Cup race, no matter the track, this wall riding is going to be a play. That's not good. That's not good.
"I mean, it was awesome, it was cool. It happened for the first time. There's no rule against it. There needs to be a rule against this one because I don't know if you want the whole field riding the wall coming to the checkered flag. I don't know if it's the safest thing for the driver or the fans when you have a car right up at the wall hauling the mail like that.
