Nope, it counted as it wasn't against any of the rules, but immediately banned the move and added it as 'Wall-Riding'.

That's brilliant. Whoever that was exploited the counter resistance the wall would provide against the centrifugal force of the left turn to pass several cars and shoot ahead. Nice.

After his move in 2022, Ross Chastain finished the NASCAR Cup Series season in 5th place following his dramatic "wall-ride" maneuver at Martinsville which propelled him into the Championship 4, where he ultimately lost to Joey Logano at Phoenix.

He later said that he remembered doing that in old racing games on the GameCube and that 'he'd been thinking about it for a while and planned on using it the night before' (on the last lap).
