NASCAR’s Dale Earnhardt Jr. Teaches Mark Zuckerberg To Drive Via Facebook Live

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg found himself in a unique situation earlier this week as he rode both shotgun and drove a race car with NASCAR’s Dale Earnhardt, Jr., approaching speeds of 175 mph.

On Zuckerberg’s latest destination as he tours every state in 2017, he made a pit stop at Hendrick Motorsports before heading to Charlotte Motor Speedway where he joined Earnhardt, Jr. on Facebook Live for a quick discussion on ‘community.’

“For them, NASCAR is a huge part of their identity, and a lot of people pin their hopes on you winning,” Earnhardt said about fans.
