Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s made a lot of news for Uber over the last few days, first (playfully) obsessing over his rider score, and then, (playfully) taking advice from Uber on how he can improve.
Kyle Busch has also -- playfully -- jumped into the fray. Check this out:

That's a great comeback because Junior is one of the sports most popular drivers, and Rowdy one of the most despised.
Here was Uber's answer on how Earnhardt could do better:
Tips to up your rating, @DaleJR:
1. Don?t ask to swap seats with the driver
2. Less pit stops
3. Use the doors?no exiting through the window https://t.co/I0wfGfD7nD— Uber (@Uber) August 28, 2017
Junior took it all in stride.
This would have been helpful. Can you provide these tips within the app for new customers? https://t.co/smeggYskHH

It all started this past weekend, with his tweet:
I'm a 4.0 on @Uber rating? That's complete shit. ?
— Dale Earnhardt Jr. (@DaleJr) August 26, 2017
A 4.0 Uber passenger score!? For a 14 time most popular driver? Unacceptable. He presumably started going places just so he could hitch rides with more Uber drivers to up his score because by the next day his score began improving.

But Junior's Uber score improvement campaign hit a snag when one driver utterly destroyed him.
Just took another ride and the guy promised a 5 ??
He lied. I'm now down to a 3.88
Such bullshit https://t.co/FaTcwJwzMg— Dale Earnhardt Jr. (@DaleJr) August 27, 2017
I tipped and gave him a 5 ??
Listened to his shit about how being a Uber driver sucks. Smh https://t.co/VD0SFUNlf8

Poor guy. Maybe Earnhardt Jr. needs to become an Uber driver himself. Surely, that would net him some five star ratings!
