The heavyweights of the Hendrick Motorsports team got down to play a guessing game recently. In another installment of "Who Said That," Jeff Gordon, Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott, William Byron, and Alex Bowman took part to guess who made the "Ronda Rousey" remark on social media.
A semi-hidden X post where only the caption "Feeling like @RondaRousey" was visible, Gordon and the drivers had to guess the post maker.
Hendrick Motorsports' official Instagram account @teamhendrick uploaded the video on the popular social media site with "Another installment of Who Said That."
Ronda Rousey is an American professional wrestler and actress. She is best known for her Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) appearances.
As seen in the video, $200 million worth Jeff Gordon (as per Celebrity Net Worth) made the first guess. He said,
"I'm gonna say, Alex Bowman."
Larson followed him, and said,
"Alex. Probably gotta be Alex, please don't say me."
"I'm gonna go with Chase," Byron said.
In response to the question, Chase Elliott said,
"It's Kyle (Larson) or Alex (Bowman)."
Last but not least, Bowman said,
"This is four of us only? William (Byron)"
The following were their reactions as Hendrick Motorsports revealed the man behind the post.
Gordon, the Vice President of Hendrick Motorsports, shockingly stated,
"Really?"
Kyle Larson also expressed his surprise and said,
"Was it me? William? What? Okay."
Chase Elliott had a similar reaction as Larson and exclaimed,
"Really? William?"
In the end, William Byron revealed that it was him after seeing the post,
"That was me. Haha. That's funny."
As it stood, Alex Bowman was the only one who guessed it right. The post was about Byron's achievement in NASCAR Pro Series East, where he received a UFC-like belt as the prize
