The 2x Daytona winner posted a video on his Instagram account with the caption, “We asked people on Broadway to identify old pics of NASCAR drivers.” The chances of identifying drivers from their old photographs was not an easy task for the common masses. And one can surely decipher that the pictures were not just normal pictures, but embarrassing ones, which shouldn’t have seen the face of the sun.

And among them, was the picture of Tyler Reddick, from his yesteryears, which was shown to the fans in order to identify him. The answer from a confident fan came as Elon Musk, who was surely proud of his answer.

Tyler whose net worth is estimated at around $5 million, would surely love to see his name on the list of billionaires, especially when people like Elon Musk, who seems to be on a shopping spree, buying shares in organizations. And perhaps those days are not far when Musk tries his hands in the world of stock car racing.

The video was surely hilarious to the core. But there is no doubt that these drivers surely have a different side to themselves, apart from the grim driving faces. And more often than not, these act as an escapade from the grave racing strategies. But it would be absolutely fun to see Elon Musk take a seat in a NASCAR car and drive around the oval.
