Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg got to experience what it’s like to zoom around Charlotte Motor Speedway on Tuesday.

Zuckerberg visited Hendrick Motorsports and went for a ride in a two-seater No. 88 car driven by Dale Earnhardt Jr. You can see in Zuckerberg’s face that the speed he was anticipating was greater than expected.

After being Junior’s passenger, Zuckerberg then took a few laps around the track himself. The Facebook founder was in North Carolina as part of his journey across North America and met with North Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams on Monday.
