A race car driver in peril of being eliminated from Sunday's Xfinity 500 race attempted a bizarre maneuver he learned in a racing videogame that blasted him from 10th up to 5th place, and earning a spot in the championship race this weekend. Ross Chastain, 29, pulled a Hail Mary pass when he recalled the'wall ride' move he from NASCAR 2005 on Nintendo GameCube. The Chevrolet driver grabbed fifth gear and blasted off at 130 miles per hour, riding along the outer wall and passing the five cars ahead of him, specifically driver Denny Hamlin who was holding on to fifth place. Chastain told reporters in a post-race interview that he was not sure the move would work, but his brother had used the sneak attack to beat him when they played the game together as children and he took a chance that paid off. The Xfinity 500 race kicked off at Martinsville Speedway in Ridgeway, Virginia - a half-mile track built in 1947. Sunday's race marked the 75th anniversary of the season, which drew in a massive crowd to the stands.
