Irvine, CA -- NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr. has experienced the fury of the speedway, and now he'll get to know the fury of a speed date.

Earnhardt has signed up with Taco Bell to participate in the "Win A Speed Date with Dale" sweepstakes. From now until April 10, four gals who buy the Fiesta Taco Salad at the fast food chain will get a gamepiece that will reveal if they've won an eight-minute date with Dale.

The winning gals will be flown to Talladega, Alabama, and in the eight minutes allotted, they'll eat a taco salad and spend some quality time with Earnhardt, who sees it as a "great opportunity to spend some one-on-one time with [my fans]."

Men are not allowed to enter, unless they give the winning piece to a female friend and play third wheel on the date.
