It might’ve started off as a silly social media prank, but Daytona 500 winner William Byron really is shooting his shot at Sabrina Carpenter now … telling TMZ Sports he’d love to welcome her to a NASCAR race!!
The 27-year-old was targeted by an X account fresh off Sunday’s big win … which made it seem like he celebrated his second straight first-place finish at the historic race by flirting with the “Espresso” crooner in her Instagram comments.
The Hendrick Motorsports driver leaned into the joke … following up on his X account to prove he was a good sport about it all.
We caught up with Byron on Friday to get to the bottom of things … and while it was all based on false pretenses, he certainly didn’t distance himself from the idea — while also giving props on the quip.
“They do a really good job with Photoshop nowadays,” Byron said with a laugh. “It was a good parody account — it’s like that NBA Centel account. They did a good job.”
“Maybe we can get her out to a race or something, that would be great. Or I can get to a show. That would be fun.”
When we asked if he had a special message for the pop star, Byron got a bit shy … but said, “Her music’s pretty good!!”
We also got real for a bit and talked all about his incredible outing at Daytona International Speedway … and how special it was to start the season on the highest of notes.
Who knows … perhaps Sabrina wants a “Taste” of the fast life??
