Alfredo retweeted a video of a highway hauler crash that apparently spilled Alfredo sauce all over the road. In the captions, he went on to state, My hauler driver and I are very sorry for the inconvenience everybody.

The Our Motorsports driver cracked a pun on his surname, matching the spelling for the white Italian pasta sauce.

At the end of it all, the crash turned into a hilarious dig at Anthony’s own name since it resembled that of the Italian pasta sauce, even more so no Alfredo’s were hurt, other than a lot of sauce being spilled over, triggering a massive cleanup for the road maintenance workers.
