What makes NASCAR unique? Is it the drivers, the drama, or the thrill of seeing stock cars going full speed round and round in the oval? Well, if you ask us, it’s about experiencing all of it altogether! The sport of stock car racing is unique on its own, and it definitely has some character to it, but beyond that, it’s the drivers and their distinctive personalities that sets the sport apart from the rest.

Now, talking about drivers and the ways they make the sport much more interesting, how can we miss out on the Watermelon Man? Recently the No. 1 Chevy driver, Ross Chastain was found talking about something very different from his area of expertise.

The Trackhouse Racing driver was talking about not only melons but also peaches and so much more.

Ross replied, “Yeah, I’ve, I’ve thought about this, so the, the thing that makes the watermelon smash so cool is how massive watermelons are, right?”

He continued, “Although I love a good peach, I don’t think the smash would be the thing. We’d have to do something different and I don’t know what that would be.”

The Florida native who grew watermelons on his family farm before coming into the NASCAR scene also said, “The watermelon smash just came as a natural thing, to throw it on the ground and just see it explode and I don’t know I’d have to ask somebody smarter than me to tell me what to do if I was a multi-generation peach farmer.”

Why is Ross Chastain called The Watermelon Man? Why was his move from 2022 called Hail Melon?

2022 was the year that Ross earned his fierce reputation on the track. The eighth-generation watermelon farmer from Alva put on an incredible show that year to win 2 major races to advance into championship four. Also, 2022 witnessed something never seen before in oval racing.

Ross, in a desperate position in the race, needed a gambit to advance into the championship and he did more than that.

At the final lap of the Martinsville race, Ross pulled out a move that later became known as ‘Hail Melon’. He raced his Chevy into the track walls and quickly pulled ahead.

Though the move was later banned by NASCAR, this stunning race catapulted Ross to the championship four race.
