VINTAGE TWEETS, VOLUME THREE!


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.


Jamie McMurray


AH, swell deal. Enjoy the movie.


OK, to save space, we didn’t include the tweets informing us that they were almost to the theater to see “It’s Complicated,” they had found a parking spot at the movie theater that was showing “It’s Complicated,” and the follow-up reminder that they were going to see “It’s Complicated” in case we missed the first two notifications.


Had we just withheld this information, we would have been spared the 5,000 pictures of his Rolex and his ghoulish life-size bobblehead.


Oooooo, someone wins the Daytona 500 in 2010 and suddenly the dude from U2 is his PERSONAL CHAUFFER TO MARTINSVILLE. Fame corrupts.


It was spreading false information, such as tweeting that Jamie was on his way to see “Sex And The City 2” instead of “It’s Complicated.” Stuff like that’s gotta be shut down.



Danica Patrick


She’s going two months between yoga sessions. I bet she loses interest in yoga entirely, just watch.


OH MAN, needs two cups of coffee to muster the energy to work out. I bet she gives up working out entirely, just watch.



Probably just an innocent little text conversation that doesn’t really lead to much. Maybe he just wants to borrow some of her clothes.



Now’s probably a bad time to point out “dosent.”



OK so maybe she picked yoga back up but doubt it becomes a regular thing.



Greg Biffle


Da Biff got dat phone hook-up mang.



Market trends suggest dumping all your money into Blockbuster.



What a stout driver lineup for Roush Fenway Racing — one that will remain intact and solid like mahogany for years to come.



OH MAN, cell phone pics from the inside of race cars! This should become a thing.



Good. Tell that guy the belts may need a little work.



Clint Bowyer


Clint Bowyer‘s maiden tweet could not possibly have been more Clint Bowyer.



Whoever explained Twitter to Clint left out that “Your wife can read everything you post” part …



… AND, well, she can now reciprocate with a tweet about this.



Clint’s first entry into the Folksy Exclamation Hall Of Fame. The other entries in the Hall Of Fame all belong to Clint also.



If you’ve ever wanted to experience the first-person perspective of a national treasure, here you are.



Ryan Blaney


I have two questions about this tweet and they’re both “What?”



You got 137 more characters if you want, bro.



Well now that you’re in Cup, go back five years later. Won’t come off as creepy at all. It’s engagement season.



I think Dale Jr. tweeted something similar once and got 3,000 likes. There’s a reason your phone has a camera, Ryan Blaney.


And here you’re complaining about the wiener dog.
