Ok, so well all know that the Cup series is off this weekend before they head to Indianapolis and the Brickyard 400. The drivers like to do some crazy stuff during the little bit of time that they have off, and here are just a few drivers who've planned something (source: jayski.com)

-Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards, Brad Keselowski, and Reed Sorenson are all entered into Saturday's Nationwide Series Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250 at Gateway International Raceway. For the fourth year in a row, Edwards has planned a charity bike ride from his hometown of Colombia, MO to Gateway, which is a 200 mile journey. Keselowski is scheduled to run a short track race at Oxford Plains Speedway in Maine on Sunday.

Some of NASCAR's superstars never stop doing what they love: Racing. It's in their blood; they love what they do, and they don't want to stop. Other's like to get away with their loved ones for a little bit of relaxation. Whatever they choose to do during this off-weekend, they better enjoy it while it lasts. Because before you know, they'll be going GREEN GREEN GREEN at the Brickyard!

Until next time, i'm Steph Piech for The Finish Line
