It’s not a bad weekend for yours first weekend.

In a recent video posted by Dale Earnhardt Jr’s Dirty Mo Media, Jordan Taylor can be seen having a conversation with Ryan Gosling about what he wants, which is really a hilarious take on Gosling’s iconic scene from The Notebook.

Taylor is edited alongside Gosling from the infamous “What do you want” scene as he confesses he wants more NASCAR races, more “oval” races. Oh, and Taylor seems to be in a double role in this ‘jort’, as he is also seeng wearing the iconic Jeff Gordon DuPont rainbow paint scheme inspired jacket and passing off some hilarious comments, including one about “MONEY”, something quite important to progress in NASCAR.

Naturally, this entire thing not only caught everyone’s attention, but it made everyone laugh.

Amy Earnhardt reacted on the video as she wrote, “Halarious!!👏” while former NASCAR driver wrote, “😂😂😂💯💯💯”

Idk what I just watched but I couldn’t turn away and loved every second,” a fan confessed while another reacted, “Content of the year 😂”
