They are use to driving in ovals. Add in a little snow on the Carolina roads and these NASCAR stars begin acting like a game of bumper cars.
Around Noon, Ryan Blaney tweeted that he saw Dale Earnhardt Jr. helping a car get unstuck from a snowy ditch.
In case y’all didn’t think @DaleJr was a great person already, just saw him covered in snow trying to help a car get out of a ditch. Said he didn’t need my help. Haha

Of course no good deed goes unpunished and Earnhardt quickly found himself the victim of the icy roads hitting a tree.
NC stay off the roads today/tonight. 5 minutes after helping these folks I center punched a pine tree. All good. Probably just needs a new alignment. pic.twitter.com/OfA5Q28jew

Now retired, Earnhardt will be among the NASCAR drivers who do not support rain tires we guess. Earnhardt was hardly the only NASCAR star to find themselves off the road. Enter Daniel Suarez.

Yep, that’s a Lexus – subsidiary of Toyota. Given that Subway allegedly pulled their sponsorship due to him passing out donuts…. have to wonder how Toyota feels about this photo below….

We are less than five weeks away from the Daytona 500. Something tells me that these guys will be more than ready for pavement.
