Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing's social media handle recently took a hilarious dig at Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron after wrapping up the EchoPark Speedway race. The event was among the first of five events of the NASCAR in-season tournament, and fans enjoyed the playful banter between the two.

Byron had a mid-pack start at the 400.4-mile race and began the race from P18 with a best lap time of 31.31 seconds and a top speed of 177.04 mph. He then moved up multiple spots and finished the stage in P4 behind Joey Logano. However, in stage two, he was caught in a massive wreck, including half of the drivers.

Ultimately, William Byron ended his day in P37; meanwhile, RFK Racing driver Ryan Preece finished in P15. This resulted in Preece getting ahead of the Hendrick Motorsports driver in the in-season tournament. Reflecting on the same, RFK Racing's social media team hilariously mocked Byron.
