Celebrating the 4th of July, Bubba Wallace shared a picture of himself casually drinking out of his bottle on Instagram. But upon closer inspection, we can see a blurry smudge marching by. Turns out it was none other than Chase Elliott himself.

Wallace noticed a wild Elliot photobombing his picture-perfect moment and hilariously tagged Chase in the captions asking him to get out of his picture. Responding to the post, Chase left a delightful comment on Bubba’s Instagram saying, “My most sincere apologies sir“.

Bubba and Elliott have been close friends for a while now. And, looking at this hilarious exchange brightens the mood of every NASCAR fan amid the cutthroat competition.
