Fortunately, this little get-together for the show was on much friendlier terms. Over here, the four drivers and host Jimmy Fallon competed against each other in a remote-control car race. Of course, each driver had a remote-controlled car, which bore their number and likeness to their real cars.
How did Kyle Busch, Joey Logano, and the other drivers perform?
Before the race began, Logano confessed that he could be at a disadvantage. Eventually, he managed to figure things out and get his car moving a little. However, when the green flag dropped, it was absolute chaos before the first turn. Fallon managed to get a good launch but was soon caught and spun by the others.
