That’s hilarious! But why is a driver who won four races in a row in Xfinity Series get recognized for puking in his car? Well, it happened again right after Bristol, when he won the Xfinity Series race and puked in his car. Of course, that brought all the eyes to him.

He said, “It really started happening – it was actually Darlington of 2020, that first race back after quarantine. We drink like a case of White Claw every day for like six weeks. We had nothing to do, so we just go hang out at a different person’s house every day and play beer pong and drink a case of White Claw, and I don’t know’if the seltzers burned a hole in my stomach, but I haven’t been the same.”
