Byron Jokes About Carpenter Rumor After Daytona Win

William Byron, fresh from his consecutive Daytona 500 victories, found himself entangled in a social media tempest due to a parody account suggesting he flirted with pop star Sabrina Carpenter. The false image, skillfully photoshopped to show Byron's flirtatious Instagram comment, sparked widespread speculation about a possible romance between the NASCAR champion and the Grammy-winning singer. Instead of distancing himself from the rumors, Byron embraced the joke with humor, acknowledging the parody's craftsmanship and even extending a playful invitation to Carpenter to attend a NASCAR race, while also expressing interest in attending one of her shows. He clarified on social media that the alleged comment wasn't his, yet maintained a light-hearted approach that amused fans. Carpenter, who has a past connection with NASCAR, has not responded to the ongoing buzz.
