There are obvious perks of being the 14-time Most Popular Driver in NASCAR, not to mention a longtime relationship with Goodyear.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. enjoyed one of those perks Wednesday, when he, wife Amy and some friends spent the day flying to Cleveland as a guest of Goodyear to take in Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers.
Not only did Earnhardt have great seats, he also got to hang out with the likes of Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley.
Earnhardt took to social media on both Twitter and Periscope to share the experience with his multitude of fans.
Here’s somewhat of a chronology of Earnhardt’s game day:
