McLaren Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo took Dale Earnhardt's 1984 No. 3 Wrangler Chevrolet Monte Carlo for a spin before the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of The Americas. The Australian driver made a deal with McLaren F1 boss Zak Brown, who owns the vintage No. 3 machine. If Ricciardo earned his first podium for McLaren, he would be allowed to take it out for a drive. Brown held up his end of the deal after Ricciardo earned his first victory for the team in the Italian Grand Prix back in September. Take a look at photos from the special ride for Ricciardo.
