It seems Tony Stewart had a laid-back Christmas celebration within the four walls of his beloved home. The team owner shared a picture of his small family seated in front of the fireplace accompanied by three canine companions. 

2022 Cup Series champion Joey Logano shared a picture of his family at The Speedway Club at the iconic Charlotte Motor Speedway. The 33-year-old and his wife were sat on a chair surrounded by decorative items reflecting the Christmas cheer. Their three adorable children sat on their laps and it made for a photo that would look perfect on any Christmas card.

As far as the Busch family goes, it seems like Brexton and Lennix showed off their love for motorsports. Brexton posed with his dirt bike while his sister was sitting in her pink Barbie car. Their parents, Kyle and Samantha Busch, stood behind them in front of their home. The #8 JGR driver’s sense of humor was on full display as he sported a Grinch hoodie in the pictures, while Samantha shared a heartfelt caption with the image.

“Merry Christmas from our family to yours! Nothing beats experiencing Christmas thru their eyes,” she wrote.

While many drivers treated Christmas as an intimate affair, choosing to spend the holiday with their spouses and kids, there were many who took it as an opportunity to catch up with their extended family. NASCAR royalty including the Petty’s and Earnhardt’s shared inside pictures from their big holiday gatherings!

The Earnhardt Christmas gathering was certainly an elaborate affair! Dale Earnhardt Jr spent the holidays this year with his family and those of his siblings’. The former Cup Series driver also penned a heartfelt caption as he uploaded a picture, featuring three generations of the family, on Instagram.  

“Celebrating Christmas Eve with my brother and sister is always a great time. And this Queen song kicks ass. I have a radio in the garage that constantly plays a local station, Christmas music all this month. It’ll move back to regular programming in a few days and I’ll miss it. Till this time next year. As a kid, Christmas was everything and now as a father/husband this holiday is eagerly anticipated again,” he wrote.

Another NASCAR biggie, Richard Petty was not behind on the festivities either. Known for having an elaborate Christmas gathering with several members of the family, 2023 was no different. The King stood in the middle sporting a red scarf around his neck with his whole family beside him. If there ever were to be a picture perfect full family Christmas photo, this has to be it!

However, perhaps Danica Patrick’s family photo on Christmas was the most color co-ordinated of all. Everyone in her picture wore a red checkered shirt and trousers of the same pattern. Well, everyone except the golden retriever.
