NASCAR Cup drivers are getting their last break from the grind of the schedule this week before the last 12-race stretch of the season.
That means we all get to live vicariously through the drivers on vacation thanks to their various social media accounts.
Some drivers are getting as far away from the track as possible, while others can’t go a week without stomping a pedal as hard as they can.
Here’s a look at how some drivers are spending their downtime.
Some Cup drivers are getting out of the country. Friends Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney have journeyed across the pond to Amsterdam.
Headed out of the country, keep up on IG if interested! ✌🏼🇺🇸
