Stewart-Haas Racing tweeted to try to make a point about the fan experience given by NASCAR being the best, but IndyCar fans instantly made them regret it.

Stewart-Haas Racing, one of the top teams in the NASCAR Cup Series, tweeted about the fan experience provided by NASCAR and classified it as the “best experience in all of sports” before asking their 415,000+ followers to “prove them wrong”, which has become a common practice on social media and is basically another way of saying that there is “no way to prove us wrong”.

Four pictures of NASCAR fans in various garage areas are featured in Stewart-Haas Racing’s tweet. But likely going against their expectations, as they also asked their followers to retweet their tweet if they agreed, several fans, including many IndyCar fans, roasted their tweet with a variety of pictures of their own.

Here is Stewart-Haas Racing’s tweet.

Here are several of the responses to this tweet, which you can see were primarily shared by IndyCar fans who could not possibly disagree with Stewart-Haas Racing’s tweet any more than they already do.

More from NASCAR Cup Series

There were plenty more tweets from where those came from, not just from IndyCar fans but also from IMSA fans and even Formula 1 fans.

Perhaps the best part about Stewart-Haas Racing’s tweet is that they thought they could get their point across about NASCAR given the best fan experience in all of sports by providing four pictures with a grand total of zero drivers.

As you can see from the numerous replies, many of which containing actual pictures of drivers with fans, that did not exactly go over well. Stewart-Haas Racing asked wanted to be proven wrong, and proven wrong they were — multiple times over.
