Trackhouse Racing continues to celebrate a significant moment in NASCAR history, one that led to a rule change. The team has brought the Martinsville Hail Melon wall to the team shop.

The Cup Series team posted a video on Thursday showing the crew rolling a large section of wall into the lobby of its Concord, North Carolina, shop. This wall said "Martins" in large letters, and it featured several scrapes and marks from where a car made impact.
Trackhouse Racing then showed the No. 1 Moose Fraternity Chevrolet Camaro, which had matching scrapes on its right side, confirming that this wall is indeed the one that Ross Chastain rode back during the 2022 Cup Series playoffs.

To further enhance the video, Trackhouse Racing played the radio chatter from the No. 1 team. It began with the team telling Chastain that he needed to gain two spots in the running order. The Florida native then said, "Talk to me, boys." His team responded by yelling, "You made the transfer! You made the transfer, man!"
That's right, NASCAR fans now have the opportunity to visit the Trackhouse Racing shop and see the car and section of wall from the Hail Melon, a moment that will live on in NASCAR history. This is the moment in which Chastain gassed up his No. 1 Chevrolet and rode the wall through Turns 3 and 4, passing multiple cars in the process.
Chastain gained the spots he needed and locked up the final spot in the Championship 4 bracket. He joined Joey Logano, Chase Elliott, and Christopher Bell. He also eliminated Denny Hamlin by passing the Joe Gibbs Racing driver at the start-finish line. Chastain ultimately finished second in the standings behind Logano, the season's champion.

NASCAR celebrated this move's boldness while making it a permanent part of the Martinsville highlight reel. The sanctioning body also banned it due to safety concerns.
"I don't think they would have made this movie, it would have been too unrealistic," Chastain told media members during the 2022 NASCAR Awards "No, no. I mean, the video at Martinsville looks like a really bad animated CG-whatever, like fake thing that they've dubbed in. Like it doesn't look real when I watch it.
"I feel like whoever made that should have made it look more real. The car looks like it's glitching by. Yeah, I think it's beyond a movie. I don't think that it would even seem real if you were to pitch that in January. I don't think people would have... I don't think that Hollywood would have bought it."
