Inhale life, exhale everything else. It's amazing how great just breathing and stretching can feel. ✨Sunday vibes.

Ouch.

The Stewart-Haas Racing driver clearly wasn’t burnt out from all that handstanding she did on her recent yachting excursion.

As for the race, the throwback event at Darlington will be full of eye-popping paint schemes, with the one on Patrick’s No. 10 Ford easily being one of the coolest on the track.
