Dale Earnhardt Jr. usually feels right at home at Hendrick Motorsports.

Now in his eighth season with the fabled organization, NASCAR's perennial most popular driver has enjoyed particularly strong success over the past three or four years with the company and often praises team members and team owner Rick Hendrick for providing him with top-notch race cars.

But when Earnhardt arrived to the Charlotte, North Carolina-based Hendrick shop for a visit on Tuesday morning, you might say there was a bit of an awkward moment.

Check it out for yourself, courtesy of driver No. 88's Twitter feed:

Obviously amused by the situation, Junior then joked he was worried about what he might find once inside.

The good news?

At least the folks a few miles down the road at JR Motorsports -- the company that Junior founded and co-owns -- made sure their boss has a clearly marked parking spot.
