The result is a hilarious photograph in which the Vegas winner is posing like a mad fan in front of the focused Atlanta winner as the caption suggests, Hey @williambyron can I get an autograph?”

The No.24 driver commented on this post, “I had no idea hahaha,” as Bowman replied, “oh trust me we know.”
