One lucky Kyle Busch fan got to meet Kyle Busch himself after Busch won the STP 500 on Sunday.

Busch and his wife were stuck in traffic after the race (NASCAR drivers, they’re just like us!) when they pulled up next to a fan wearing a hat with Busch’s No. 18 on it. Busch’s wife Samantha filmed what happened next: Busch got the fan’s attention, and the fan proceeded to freak out accordingly. 

(Is this fake? This better not be fake. Also, the video contains some strong language.)

This is all well and good, but I can’t endorse Busch signing a hat while driving. That’s quite dangerous.
