Dale Earnhardt Jr., in his final year as a full-time driver, has a lot to worry about. In his final full year, he’s struggling on track and in serious danger of missing NASCAR’s playoffs.

In the midst of all that, he has other problems.

Like his Uber rating.

Earnhardt recently used the popular ride-sharing service and shared his experience with his fans, the self-proclaimed Junior Nation.

Earnhardt was concerned about his rating as a passenger and asked for advice. The passenger rating is used by drivers to determine whether they will pick up someone.

Uber quickly chimed in with a tweet showing Junior how to up his rating:

1. Don’t ask to swap seats with the driver

2. Less pit stops

3. Use the doors-no exiting through the window

The company then offered him a him a job, no doubt tongue-in-cheek, tweeting, “New series idea-Dale’s Do’s and Don’t’s. Down to come join our crew?”

Junior replied “Absolutely”

Friday at Darlington Raceway, Earnhardt expanded on his experience:

“I only rode in an Uber maybe a dozen times and apparently you’ve got to ride in it a certain amount of times before they ever let you see your rating,” he said. “So, I’m looking, we are riding in an Uber and there are about four or five of us in there, and they are all talking about their rating. And I look at my phone and my rating it doesn’t come up, so I don’t have my rating in front of me and they are like, ‘Well, why don’t you have a rating?’”

“I’m like, maybe I haven’t ridden in enough Ubers to have a rating yet, and the driver goes, ‘I see your rating; it’s 4.0.’ And I was like, all right, you know, I thought, 'Four out of five stars, that’s not too bad.' So, everybody in the car is like, ‘Whoa, my god’ and 'That is terrible' and the Uber driver says, 'Yeah, I almost didn’t come get y’all because of that 4.0.' Because they can just turn you down. He said he saw that rating and was like, 'I almost didn’t come get you.' And I said I don’t know what… I have been in only maybe four Ubers up to this point. ...”

“I got in an Uber that had a driver that was not a fan of me… that is the only way I can explain it, because I’ve not done anything in an Uber … I’ve been pretty reasonable and nice and conversational, so, after that ride my Uber rating did come up and it said 4.1. So, we rode in maybe six or seven more Ubers over the next four or five days. Every time we needed an Uber, it was with Amy and her family. I was the one calling it because I was like, 'Gotta get this rating up,' and everybody on Twitter was like, ‘Keep us updated.’ So I got it to a 4.5 once our vacation was over. But it is a great service, really convenient, I’ve got some more work to do.”
