Ben Rhodes had himself a NIGHT.
The 24-year-old Kentucky native passed Zane Smith with 8 laps to go in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Championship race at Phoenix Raceway.
He finished the race in third, but it was enough to give him the Championship win over Zane Smith, John Hunter Nemechek, and Matt Crafton.
But the post race press conference was where the real magic happened.
Hammered out of his gourd, Ben apparently had himself a few celebratory, ice cold Bud Lights before he stepped to the mic and God bless him for it.
At one point during the conversation, someone took his Bud Light away and replaced it with a water.
I mean, the dude was WASTED… and it was downright hysterical.
For your viewing pleasure…
