Shaq's terriying NASCAR experience
Shaq has already come into contact with NASCAR before. During an episode of his reality series "Shaq vs." in 2010, the NBA champion tried his hand at auto racing. In a scene from one of the episodes of the programme, Dale Earnhardt Jr., a former NASCAR racer, was standing right in front of Shaq. A dejected Shaq said that the 50-lap race he ran with Earnhardt Jr. was the hardest three hours of his life.
