New York Giants star Malik Nabers was left visibly frightened during long stretches of his in-car interview with NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Jr. while roaring around a track. 

Nabers was in the front, pᴀssenger-side seat of a race car being driven by the motorsports legend, reaching speeds of up to 130 miles per hour. 

Earnhardt Jr., who has been retired from NASCAR since 2017, was cool, calm, collected with his foot on the gas.

Nabers, who has blistering speed on the gridiron to beat cornerbacks, was anything but comfortable while making the left turns at high speeds. 

At multiple points in the interview, Nabers can be seen breathing heavy and touching his face. 

One instance also saw neighbor pray after Earnhardt Jr. says he is going to push his car to its maximum speed.

The car Earnhardt Jr. was driving did not even go as fast as the vehicles in NASCAR typically do, with speeds of over 200 miles per hour seen at the longer courses like Daytona and Talladega. 

Nabers, who hails from Louisiana, likely knew what he was getting himself into. Yet, the reality set in much harder than he realized.  

‘And how fast do they normally go?’ Nabers said. 

‘They go about 50 miles an hour faster than that,’ with Earnhardt Jr. accelerating between 120 to 130 miles per hour.

That response elicited a one-word response from Nabers, ‘S***!’

In his first NFL season, Nabers had 109 catches for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns as by far the Giants top receiver.
