Earnhardt was pulled over and issued a warning for speeding while en route to Sunday’s Sprint Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway. As he sat parked on the side of the road and a police officer wrote out the warning, Earnhardt’s fiancée, Amy Reimann, took a picture and posted it on Twitter.
Reimann did not state how fast Earnhardt was going, or the speed limit he broke. She captioned the photo with, “My little speed racer. #WheelingIt #Warning”

Earnhardt hasn’t raced since early July after sustaining a concussion in a crash June 12 at Michigan International Speedway. The concussion was his third in four years, and he is targeting a return in time for the start of the 2017 season, which begins in February with the Daytona 500.
