Sure, it’s an off-week for the Sprint Cup Series. But that doesn’t mean the stars of the series are lounging around not doing anything productive.
The series’ drivers have scattered in the wind this week finding ways to enjoy one of their few weeks off between February and November.
The biggest surprise this week was Brad Keselowski spending Wednesday driving an IndyCar at Road America during a test session.
One of the best days of my life. Thank you everyone. https://t.co/9xiehaIGEv

Meanwhile, Kurt Busch is spending the week traversing Europe, where he’ll attend Formula One’s Grand Prix of Europe in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Also on his own lengthy trip is Ricky Stenhouse Jr. The Roush Fenway Racing driver is traveling the country in an RV hauling a sprint car so he can go play in the dirt. His trip even has its own hashtag - #rsjdirtyvacation.

In the Kevin Harvick household, it’s open season for practice jokes.
