Off Weekend...What's That??

Most of us that work in racing rarely hear the words "off weekend" or "down time," but that is exactly what everyone at Red Bull Racing will be facing this weekend. As one of 2 off weekends mixed into the 38-week Cup race schedule - and the last one before the end of the season - most are planning to take advantage of having some time away from the race track.

Brian will be spending his time in Charleston, SC with some friends just relaxing and getting rejuvenated for next week. AJ and some friends and family are heading to Monterey, CA to take in the Red Bull MotoGP U.S. Grand Prix at Laguna Seca. He will be Red Bull's special guest for the weekend, and will even have the opportunity to drive his #84 Cup car around the course for 10 minutes on Saturday and Sunday. (We will be sure to show you pictures and tell you all about everything next week). This is an event he has wanted to attend for the past couple of years, but his racing schedule has never made that possible. Needless to say, he is pumped!

As far as the travel crew, many are staying around town to spend time with family, friends and loved ones that they rarely get to see on the weekends. And of course many are planning to get out of town for the weekend.

We hope everyone enjoys the time off because after this weekend we race for 17 consecutive weeks - every weekend from July 29 through November 18!
