Dale Earnhardt Jr. is a huge Washington Redskins fan, so as you can imagine, he wasn't thrilled to learn he'll be driving a car with a Philadelphia Eagles paint scheme at the Pocono 400 in June.
"I'm really sad about that," Earnhardt said Wednesday on Periscope. "Being a Redskins fan, it was very hard to wrap my brain around it, but what I am happy about is helping them promote the All-Pro Teachers."
The news led to this humorous Twitter exchange between Earnhardt and the two teams:
