Ok NASCAR fans, or physicists…

Someone explain the science behind Ross Chastain’s move to advance to the NASCAR playoffs? Wouldn’t riding against the wall slow you down? Or does it have a slingshot effect? I’m too lazy to Google to find out. I need someone here to dumb it down for me. Has any other driver done this successfully? It looked pretty crazy.
