Avid NASCAR fans live for NASCAR Sprint Cup racing weekends. We settle in on Fridays for qualifying, perhaps tune in for practice or Happy Hour, and then park ourselves all Sunday afternoon for the big race.
But what to do when our Cup boys have an off weekend? Here are my top ten suggestions for things to do when there is just no racing on Sunday:
- Get that second “8” tattoo you’ve been dying to get since the start of the season.
- White out the “Bud” on Kasey Kahne’s car and create a new logo for InBev. It's definitely not as catchy as Anheuser-Busch….
- Send off that belated first birthday card to Ella Sofia Gordon.
- B/R Ticket Guide
- Show up at your church and see if the walls really do fall down like your minister keeps telling you they will.
- Go for a long hike in the woods…..and try drafting your hiking partners. You will get to the top of the trail sooner. It’s all in the draft!
- Photoshop Ryan Newman into the new Stewart Haas race car. Or Photoshop Joey Logano into that No. 20 JGR car. Or maybe Photoshop Casey Mears into the No. 20 JGR car. The Silly Season possibilities are endless!
- Invite your family over for that Sunday dinner that you’ve been putting off all race season. And when you can’t stand it any more, put in Talladega Nights for some race relief!
- Practice your boo’s and hisses for Kyle Busch’s victory at the Brickyard next week…..boo……hiss.......boo……hiss…….
- Challenge your neighbor to a lawn mower race – that ought to stop his complaining about those weeds and tall grass….
- Program your DVR for the ESPY awards…..you just can’t go wrong with Justin Timberlake who knows absolutely nothing about racing!
And finally, just remember that next weekend is right around the corner. So hang in there NASCAR Sprint Cup race fans – we will be back on the couch before we know it!

I hate Non race weekends, but they need one more!! Right before the chase. They drivers have 17 weeks in a row after this and even though I hate the non race weekends, I'll be content with 7 weeks in a row then 10 going into the chase and have a fresh driver class ready for the chase. That will make the chase that much better! IMO.

I love non-race weekends. Mean that I can get some sleep on a Saturday night (I live in the UK). Seriously though, I was feeling a bit crap after NASCAR had this Sunday off - don't know why. It must be because Dale Jr's actually driving well....

How about watching auto racing... Cut the "real cars" BS...
There was ARCA, Nationwide, and Truck racing Saturday.
Then GP2, F1, IndyCar, ALMS, and Grand-Am on Sunday... Didn't get the DVR set up to record the Moto races from Laguna Seca in the afternoon... :-(

Mary Jo is my " BEST BUD " from our Nascar days and I agree . Having an "off" Sunday or Saturday night race weeknd is torture, but it is great our guys get some time off to spend having fun. I did do a lot of practicing on my BOO'S at Kyle Busch though who will NOT win at the Brickyard !!!

The non-race weekend wasnt all bad. I thought the NASCAR confidential show on SPEED was really a cool show. There may not of been a CUP race but there were plenty of CUP drivers racing this weekend.
