BK Racing teammates make good on their bet

Alex Bowman certainly knows how to make an entrance.
Despite storms postponing Saturday night's Coke Zero 400, Bowman, 21, wasn't going to let a little rain get in the way of having a good time.
The driver of the No. 23 Dr. Pepper Toyota challenged his fans in the Twitterverse to post the following dare: "10,000 retweets before driver intros and if it's still wet Ryan and I will make this (drivers' stage) a slip and slide for intros".
Although Bowman failed to reach his quota, he carried through with the task any way. Yet when his exploits weren't captured on Twitter, Bowman offered a bribe - or a "reward" in the form of a pair of signed driving gloves for the "best picture".
Much to his dismay, a picture of his teammate Ryan Truex appeared on Twitter prior to one of his own.
Nothing like a friendly rivalry among rookie teammates. But Bowman finally got his wish.
The BKR teammates - Bowman and Truex - will roll off 43rd and 42nd, respectively, when the action resumes at Daytona International Speedway.
Hopefully, their drivers' suits will have dried out by then.
