Even Joe Gibbs’ grandson, Ty Gibbs, joined the banter with a few of his own. What do clouds wear? –Thunderwear” while his fellow #20 driver chimed in with an unsuspecting ripper when he said, I could not figure out how to fasten my seatbelt but then it clicked.” Whereas, Hamlin, the father of two girls, couldn’t resist himself when he seemed like he had some homework for the segment. He added, I had a happy childhood, my dad used to put me in tire and roll me down the hills, those were good year.”

What was special for the fans was the active involvement of Xfinity sensations- Sammy Smith, who added in his part with a quick wit, What kind of snakes are found in cars? – Windshield vipers.

Whereas his #20 teammate, John Hunter Nemechek simply added in a pumpkin joke while Sonoma winner, Truex Jr outgunned everyone else with a corny dad joke, I used to hate facial hair but then it started growing on me.”
