Dale Earnhardt Jr. got busted for speeding

Dale Earnhardt Jr. has to remember when he’s not on the track.

I guess it shouldn’t be surprising that Dale Earnhardt Jr. has a lead foot, but it’s always important for people to strike a healthy work-life balance.

Dale Jr. apparently had trouble with that on Sunday morning. His fiancée tweeted a photo of him getting pulled over by a cop, though he was supposedly let off with a warning.

Of course, this could just be a viral marketing stunt for Dale’s car dealership, hoping to convince us that you can actually get a Buick going fast enough to get pulled over.
