The moon orbits around Earth at about 2,286 mph. That's how fast you'd have to go to keep up with it.

If the moon goes around the earth every 28 days, the controlling rate is actually the spinning of the earth every 24 hours. So to keep the moon overhead at the equator which is approximately 24000 miles around your would need to drive 1000 miles/hour.

That is a fairly difficult question since you not only have to take into account the rotation of the moon around the earth, you must also take into account the rotation of the earth itself.

VERY fast. I don't think there is anything made to "drive" that fast.

About 1000mph however I might suggest air travel rather
than trying to drive...
