Kyle Larson recently participated in a guessing game where he attempted to identify tweets from his Hendrick Motorsports teammates. Although all the tweets were actually from Alex Bowman, the element of surprise kept Larson and the others on their toes throughout the game.

Several tweets by Bowman were anonymously shared with his HMS teammates with the objective of guessing which driver posted them. The tweet read:

"Lesson learned: Always keep two syrup bottles around 👍🏻 just in case"

William Byron and Chase Elliott made the right choice by picking Bowman. However, Larson thought it was the #9 driver Elliott. He said (via HMS' official Instagram):

"I want to say William (Byron) but Chase seems to be pretty funny, so it's got to be Chase."

When Larson, worth $12 million (according to Celebrity Net Worth), learned the tweet was from Bowman, he playfully remarked that Bowman is "funny." Another humorous tweet by the #48 driver read, "I'm definitely not all that. Maybe like, some of that," which Larson immediately identified as Bowman's.

Kyle Larson is currently leading the driver standings with 779 points. The #5 driver has secured four race wins this season with 12 top-ten and 9 top-five finishes. In 22 race starts, Larson has started in pole position five times this season. He is also one of the favorites to win the championship title in the 2024 season.

In his 12-year career, Larson has amassed 27 Cup Series wins and 175 top-ten finishes. His most recent win came at NASCAR's return to the historic Indianapolis Oval, the Brickyard 400. He has also triumphed in several prestigious crown jewel events.


"I wish we had more" - Kyle Larson hopes for more off-weeks in NASCAR following Olympic break

NASCAR took a two-week hiatus after the Brickyard 400 following the commencement of the Paris Olympics. This provided the drivers and teams with some well-earned rest before the last stages of the Cup Series regular season and the Playoffs.

HMS driver Kyle Larson finished the Cook Out 400 in P7 after making a P15 start. Following the race, Larson spoke about his desire for a few more off days in the hectic season schedule.

"The summer months get difficult and long and tough so, it was good to have two off weeks. I wish we had more, maybe not necessarily this year but like looking to next year, I think we will have like one off week, which is typical it seems from the last few years. But I would love more, I think we all would," Larson said.

This year's two-week break is unusual for NASCAR, which typically pauses for just a week in June.
