How Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers are spending the off weekend


While the NASCAR XFINITY Series preps for Sunday’s Johnsonville 180 at Road America (3 p.m. ET, NBC, MRN, Sirius XM NASCAR Radio, NBC Sports App), Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers are in the middle of their final off weekend of the year.

Monster Energy Series drivers will be back in action for NASCAR’s official throwback weekend — the Bojangles’ Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway on Sept. 3, followed by the regular-season finale at Richmond International Raceway on Sept. 9.

As the playoffs loom, see how a few of the drivers are spending the down time before things ramp back up.

Vacation!
