Next weekend is the first off-weekend of the season for the NASCAR Cup Series and not too surprisingly there is a great range of plans – and non-plans – for the competitors.
Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender, Trackhouse Racing’s Connor Zilisch, 19, is heading to California with the idea of taking a break from racing. It’s a similar idea for Bell, who grinned and proclaimed, “I’m going to sitting on my couch.’’
Spire Motorsports’ Daniel Suarez and his wife Julia are heading to Greece.
Three-time champ Joey Logano says he will just spend time with his three kids and maybe enjoy a family trip to the beach. Reigning series champion Hendrick Motorsports’ Kyle Larson conceded that his down time now as a father looks a lot different than it did a few years back. Next week, he will not be racing and instead attending the races his son Owen, 11 and daughter Audrey, 7, will compete in.
His Hendrick teammate Byron, smiled and explained he hasn’t even begun considering off-week plans yet. “I’m not a planner, just gotta get through this weekend and see where I’m at.”
