Alex Bowman in the iconic No:48 and Willaim Byron in then iconic No:24 Chevy’s completes the start studded team. They are among the drivers with the fanbase in the sport and HMS often produce social media contents to entertain these fan base.

Recently via their Instagram handle, HMS produced a short reel of an interview with their star drivers. They were asked who they think is the ideal HMS racer to become the next James Bond, the iconic Hollywood spy character. Kyle Larson chose his champion teammate Chase Elliott as a potential fit owing to his serious nature.

I’ll go Chase. I don't know, I don't really know much about James Bond. I feel like they're both pretty serious people. So probably Chase. Kyle Larson said.

His other two teammates Byron and Alex Bowman had the same answer. The No:48 Chevy driver chose the No:9 driver due to the cheeky nature of him.

I don't know who's sneaky, see? I'd say, Chase. I'll go- Chase. Alex Bowman said.

Chase Elliott chose William Byron to play James Bond

The No:9 Chevy driver was asked the same question as his teammate and he chose William Byron as a potential candidate. He pointed out that Byron is the only driver that has a mystery around him and can play Bond.

I don't think any of us. None of us, I would say but I could see William doing that. He's just kind of mysterious, you know. You just don't know what you're gonna get. Chase Elliott said.

The 2024 season so far has been productive for HMS. Byron, Elliott and Larson have secured victories this season and has locked playoff spots. But Bowman on the other hand hasn’t yet scored a win and the teams priority is get the No:48 the all-important win and secure playoff spot for all HMs cars.
