The start of the NASCAR season is still over a month away but there was a different kind of excitement taking over NASCAR nation Saturday.
Snow!
A winter storm blanketed some of the East Coast, including parts of North Carolina inhabited by NASCAR drivers, crew chiefs, and many others. Which means it didn’t take long for snow day pictures to start surfacing on social media.

While most of the NASCAR community was enjoying the snow, a few did escape to warmer parts to take care of some important business: Getting married.
