Justin Bieber fans must have known that the singer loves speed and he was finally able to join a safe race on street on Tuesday night, November 17. Visiting "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" as a musical performer, the Canadian pop star competed against host Jimmy Fallon in the show's version of NASCAR 500 Race in Rockefeller Plaza.
Along with guest Jesse Tyler Ferguson and The Roots' Tariq, they each paired up with a driver competing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship in the relay race. Bieber and reigning Sprint Cup champion Kevin Harvick were on team Tariq, who was paired with Kyle Busch. Meanwhile, team Fallon consisted of himself, Jeff Gordon, Ferguson and Martin Truex Jr.
Fallon and Tariq went first. They had to weave through cones on the street and at the end of the lane, they switched drivers without leaving the cars. After one lap, their teammates would go through the same course.
Team Tariq led in the first lap, but Truex Jr. quickly caught up. When it was Bieber's turn to sit behind the wheels, he didn't waste any time and helped his team claim victory. Ferguson, meanwhile, hilariously hit several cones and dragged them to the finish line.
Bieber, who has been busy promoting his new album "Purpose", also performed "Sorry" off his fourth studio album on the talk show.
