Imagine being Dale Earnhardt Jr., having seen what you’ve seen in your life, going to the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, and still being surprised, awed by something. Sounds unreal? But it is real.

The NASCAR Hall of Famer was recently floored by his experience of racing on a now restored North Wilkesboro Speedway, a track he hadn’t raced on since 1995.

“I felt like I was dreaming and was gonna wake up any minute,” he tweeted after putting in some laps on the track.

It’s worth mentioning that Dale Jr. was instrumental in bringing the iconic track back to becoming functional again through his connections and his sheer passion.
