Best Tweets: Avid Fans, Burning Wheat & Gober Sosebee


Let's take a look back at the best tweets of the week in the world of NASCAR.
We know fans love Bristol, but apparently it's even a favorite of four-time champion Jeff Gordon.
Waking up to one of my favorite race weekends @NASCAR @BMSupdates & F1 Spa-Francorchamps.

Fans often request retweets from drivers, but one Kyle Busch fan may have taken it a bit too far.
No proof necessary!! RT @cjennings07: @MartyFalloon if @KyleBusch RT me, I will ride the bull at the red barn naked #bristolbaby

After Friday night's Nationwide Series race, Brad Keselowski had a really, really avid fan outside his motorhome.
Soliciting ideas for the appropriate response when a fan stands outside my bus demanding the clothes off my back. #GO!

Driver introductions are always unique at Bristol, but no matter where you go the response is usually the same for Rowdy Busch.
Country music artist Jake Owen had a little fun picking Kevin Harvick's intro music.
.@jakeowen I thought we were friends... I'm every woman by Whitney Houston?? Really??? #cmonman

In typical Bristol fashion, not everyone had a great night at the "World's Fastest Half Mile."
Hate it not only for my team but everyone else involved.. Absolutely nothing I could do once 55 cut down my right front tire.. #carlow

However, it was a great day to be a Kenseth. Ross Kenseth captured the pole for his first career ARCA Series start, while his dad had a little bit of success too.
Holy cow! Shout out to @kaseykahne for racing clean. Proud of @mattkenseth that was an awesome finish #fp

So proud of my team, and glad to be part of it. What a night! #blessed #team20 #nascar

Kasey Kahne's night was good, but not good enough.
Michigan winner Joey Logano overcame a lot of adversity to score a top 5 finish.
How about that Knocked in RF Speeding penalty Blocked in pit stall Garbage on the grill =top 5 #NeverGiveUp
— Joey Logano (@joeylogano) August 25, 2013
Then he returned the love Kenseth showed him last week.
Oh and congrats on the win @mattkinsith. I mean @mattkinseth. I mean @mattkenseth

With a rare day off, Kyle Larson took in some Little League World Series action, but was torn on who to cheer for.
Clint Bowyer spent his day off burning wheat...yeah, that's the ticket.

Looking ahead to Atlanta, NASCAR's stats guru Mike Forde provided this little nugget.
Among the list of #NASCAR winners from Georgia, in terms of coolest names, one stands out: Gober Sosebee, winner of two Sprint Cup races.

And since you were wondering, here's a picture of Gober Sosebee.

UNKNOWN: Georgia driver Gober Sosebee ran 71 NASCAR Cup races between 1949 and 1959. He won two events, in 1952 at Hayloft Speedway in Augusta, Georgia, and in 1954 at Central City Speedway in Macon, Georgia. He won the NASCAR Modified race held on the Daytona Beach-Road Course in 1950, then won the NASCAR Sportsman event the following year on the beach. (Photo by ISC Images & Archives via Getty Images)
