Question of the Day: A cool move? Or time for rule change?

Here is the Question of the Day:

Eighth-generation watermelon farmer Ross Chastain made a bold, video-game move at last week’s Martinsville Speedway race. On the backstretch, he shifted into fifth, slid along the wall, took his hands off the wheel and floored it for the final quarter-mile, moving from 10th to fifth place and into the championship four for the first time in his career. NASCAR tweeted “#MelonMan 1 got the whole world talking,” but some are saying there needs to be an immediate rule change to prevent moves like this in the future. How should NASCAR handle this?
