Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s absence behind the wheel of the No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet is something that's been keenly felt by his millions of fans.

For them, the races just aren't the same without their favorite driver behind the wheel.

But this much must be said without hesitation: Earnhardt brought his "A" game to his @DaleJr Twitter account Saturday night, where his live tweets of the Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond International Raceway were by turns insightful and hilarious.

Brad so mad. He's either being so tough or doing this weird underbite thing. What's that about @keselowski ?? pic.twitter.com/0ddqkyykDr
