When outside the car, many NASCAR drivers love to drop their professional masks and just goof around. In light of this, Bubba Wallace posted a picture on Instagram comparing Chase Elliott and Wallace’s dog, Asher. Apparently, new images surfaced where Elliott was seen sporting a handlebar mustache.

Apparently, Asher also had a similar handlebar mustache on his upper lip. As a form of banter, Wallace asked who wore it better, and the replies were instantaneous.

Even Elliott himself got in on the action, and surprisingly, he chose the dog. Evidently, the Hendrick Motorsports driver felt that he could not pull off the look.

However, going by last year’s performance, Chase Elliott is definitely one of the favorites to win another Cup Series title.
