In an odd display of sportsmanship between two GOP behemoths, the New Hampshire and Vermont Gubernatorial party members are going to face off in a drag race.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Hey <a href="https://twitter.com/GovPhilScott">@GovPhilScott</a>: Rumor on the street is that you race cars. I've been known to drag-race school busses. Up for a race? <a href="https://t.co/4IA5pmhKcN">pic.twitter.com/4IA5pmhKcN</a></p>— Chris Sununu (@GovChrisSununu) <a href="https://twitter.com/GovChrisSununu/status/894563301086121984">August 7, 2017</a></blockquote>

The odd part of the challenge made by New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu is that he said he'd like to challenge his friend to a race in a school bus.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">You’re on, <a href="https://twitter.com/GovChrisSununu">@GovChrisSununu</a>. But, I don’t just race cars… I’ll let you pick the vehicle. <a href="https://t.co/U76ucSOaPw">pic.twitter.com/U76ucSOaPw</a></p>— Governor Phil Scott (@GovPhilScott) <a href="https://twitter.com/GovPhilScott/status/894661575092654082">August 7, 2017</a></blockquote>

Vermont Governor Phil Scott chirped back, however, that he doesn't just race stock cars (which is what he's famous outside of the Governor's mansion for), but that he's willing to allow Governor Sununu the choice of what they'd like to race in.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">… or we could just stick to the bus - I have a track-ready bus too. <a href="https://t.co/6693Gnz0LO">pic.twitter.com/6693Gnz0LO</a></p>— Governor Phil Scott (@GovPhilScott) <a href="https://twitter.com/GovPhilScott/status/894663923663872000">August 7, 2017</a></blockquote>

<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Governor Phil Scott of Vermont chimed back later though, that he's up for the school bus challenge.

Governor Sununu just raced in a charity event Saturday at the New England Dragway.

Governor Scott has won three track championships at Thunder Road, in Barre, Vermont, and has been racing 27 years.

It remains to be seen where these two GOP Gubernatorial titans will face off at, but it will certainly be excited to witness.
