The Rizzler Is Turning Heads At The Daytona 500 On Sunday

This year's Daytona 500 has some notable special guests, including "The Rizzler."

No, The Rizzler being there is not as big of a deal as having the President of the United States in attendance, but he's still a famous face, at least somewhat. If you're not familiar, The Rizzler's real name is Christian Joseph, and he's an eight-year-old from New Jersey who first went viral in 2023 for his Black Panther Halloween costume. His nickname is a play on the term "rizz," which is what the young kids are calling charisma these days.

Since first entering the public consciousness, The Rizzler has made a bunch of appearances on television and has gone viral numerous times, often alongside "The Costco Guys."

You're going to have to research them on your own time, because frankly, we don't feel like wasting time explaining them.

Anyway, The Rizzler got some airtime on FOX today during the Daytona 500 rain delay. He was hanging out with NASCAR driver Noah Gragson, who signed a pair of gloves for the young child.

The duo also spent some time opening up NASCAR trading card packs.

"This is a king right here," Gragson said of The Rizzler. "We're having some fun, enjoying this rain delay here at the Daytona 500."

Gragson and The Rizzler then did the latter's famous "Rizz Face," which consists of rubbing one's chin while squinting and raising one eyebrow.

The amount of rizz in this video is off the charts.@The_ChrisMyers | @NoahGragson pic.twitter.com/sqjR2Nap7F
