Dale Jr. does an impromptu Q&A on flight back from Phoenix test

It rarely hurts for any driver to show outward levels of fan engagement on Twitter, unless they lose it and are outwardly rude.

Luckily, Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s Twitter presence has been a net positive for himself, his fans and us media folks.

So on a flight back from his test at Phoenix International Raceway this week, Dale Jr. answered some typically off-the-wall questions on Twitter for an impromptu Q&A. It’s a mix of enlightening and inane questions.

Here’s some of the responses:

“@SeanLawver48: @DaleJr How about a Q&A??” I got a few minutes till we land. Shoot!
