After this weekend, the Sprint Cup Series will be an all out brawl to the end of the season at Homestead-Miami Speedway in November, 14 straight race weekends to determine who will be the 2016 champion.
But before that starts, the Cup series is enjoying its last week off before the marathon begins. Drivers and their teams have scattered in the wind. Some of them -- including Tony Stewart, Kyle Larson and semi-retired Jeff Gordon -- are spending their time off together.
Thanks to social media, here’s a look at how some of NASCAR’s stars are enjoying the week, including Austin Dillon getting engaged.
