VINTAGE TWEETS, VOLUME TWO!

So many NASCAR drivers have mastered the fine art of social media. But it didn’t happen overnight, as is evidenced by some of their very early, and often awesome, initial tweets. What follows are actual posts from actual drivers, as they first immersed themselves into the Twitters.

Kyle Busch

It’s pretty easy, Kyle. You post something, and then we inform you if you used the proper instance of “your” or “you’re.”

Trust Ryan — all tweets are from Kyle. Unless they’re from Ryan. But this one is from Kyle. Or Ryan. — Ryan

Assuming the PR person didn’t sign the tweet. If not, Kyle’s in trouble and you know he’s in trouble — like, third-person trouble.

I think she digs you, man.

Kyle sounds like even Kyle’s getting bored with winning.

Denny Hamlin

WHY did everyone want to sync Twitter with Facebook early on? It’s like mailing someone a letter, then calling them on the phone and telling them the exact same s–t that was in the letter.

We didn’t. It must have been very cold out.

If only there was some giant pylon-esque structure on the premises that provided such information. But you may have been unable to see it due to metal in your eye so we’ll give you a pass on this one.

Had we known then what we know now, we would have been able to warn you that it was likely Tony Stewart in drag.

I specifically wrote “FOR DEN-DEN’S EYES ONLY” on the outside of the envelope, bro. If mom saw it, that’s your fault for leaving it out.

Will do. Wait — why are they showing college football?

Matt Kenseth

Matt Kenseth showed great willpower by waiting until his second tweet ever to throw shade at the Chicago Bears.

Um, hi. Wait — so your order of priority is 1.) Trash talk the Chicago Bears. 2.) Greet people. OK.

It’s true. Greg has the body of a 69-year-old.

You are a sorcerer of dry wit, Matt Kenseth. A SORCERER.

We sense a theme.

Martin Truex Jr.

He’s friends with the dude from U2 AND people on the No. 1 team. Is there any boundary to this guy’s popularity?

The technological capabilities of smartphones would continue to grow and make asking a live saltwater fish for directions an obsolete practice.

Heading to MWR for a David Reutimann victory celebration. This is an old tweet, by the way.

You can basically use this tweet as a template for every post-race tweet Martin posted until the 2016 Coca Cola 600.
