Since NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Ryan Truex tweeted a “Throwback Thursday” picture featuring he and older brother, Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver Martin Truex Jr., it has served as a gift that keeps on giving.
The throwback photo shows Truex Jr. sporting a Jeff Gordon T-shirt, along with a hat hanging on a trophy in the background.

The picture finally caught the attention of four-time champion Gordon. A hilarious reaction ensued.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Is that a JG/24 shirt & hat I see? I always pictured @MartinTruex_Jr as a Earnhardt Sr or @markmartin fan! https://t.co/yi4EyKHZQK

But, it was the elder Truex who got the last laugh.
