Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson – make that NASCAR’s version of Batman and Superman – really got into character Thursday.
The two went to Hollywood and met with actors Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill, as well as several others involved in the upcoming “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
In Sunday’s Sprint Cup race at Auto Club Speedway, Earnhardt will drive a special Batman paint scheme promoting the movie, which debuts nationally on March 25, while Johnson will drive a special Superman paint scheme as well.
The paint schemes extend to both driver’s helmets and their respective firesuits, as well.
Earnhardt is hoping for a bit of déjà vu, as the last time he drove a Batman-themed car, he won (June 17, 2012) at Michigan International Speedway.
