Disclaimer: I've never watched NASCAR. Ever. But I heard about this, and it is pretty sweet! And based on the videos I've watched, this is the greatest thing ever to happen in NASCAR.
Background: (I apologize for probably butchering what really happened, but this is what I took from it)
This is the last race of some qualifying series or something, and you need to get in the top 4 to qualify for the championship race.
It's the last lap, and car #1 is 2 spots out from qualifying for the Final 4. So what's he do? He floors it around the final corner, crashing/riding into the wall the entire way, passing something like 5 cars and making it into the Final 4!
And the last car he passed right at the checkered flag was #11, who I think dropped out of the Final 4 because of #1's move.
Anyway, here are some videos:
Watch this starting at 0:25-1:00
Cool video with dash cams and audio from the various drivers and their pit crew as it happened (Facebook):
This guy's reaction is hilarious (Facebook):
