February 14 marks the occasion of Valentine’s Day. This is a time for love and spending time with your significant others. In light of this, several NASCAR drivers banded together to send special messages to the fans. Many of the messages ranged from sweet to cheesy puns, and everyone definitely had fun.
The drivers involved were Ricky Stenhouse Jr, Michael McDowell, Bubba Wallace, and Cole Custer. Even drivers like Aric Almirola, Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney, and Corey LaJoie sent in messages. Finally, Denny Hamlin, Ty Dillon, and Martin Truex Jr closed the show.

Such activities allow them to loosen up a little before they are back on the grind with the first race of the season, the Daytona 500. Last year, McDowell triumphed over everyone, but it will be a real battle to see who will be the next winner. Who do you think will take the crown this time around?
