"Can’t get much closer than that. Needed a couple inches," he wrote as the caption while thanking his sponsor, Cheddar, and Chevrolet. "Excited about the strength we’ve shown to start the year."

He wasn’t safe from some razzing at the hands of his wife, Samantha.

"I’ve been telling you that for almost 20 years," she wrote playfully in the comments section.

NASCAR fans were delightfully surprised by the comment.
