I make coffee every morning, and one day I realized I didn't have any sugar. No problem, we'll just go over to the Jarrett's motorhome and get a cup. It's really cool to be able to do that. With other athletes in other sports, once the game is over, they usually hop a plane either to the next city or home, and then go their separate ways once their feet hit solid ground. They tend to come together in all types of ways.
Drivers sell their homes to other drivers.
Some drivers that live in the Charlotte area have homes next to each other, or across the street or down the block. Driver's wives get together regularly to go shopping or commiserate in ways that only racer's wives can do and understand each other. Their children attend the same schools, play with each other on race weekends. Why, owners of some racetracks that the Cup tour visits have even built playgrounds within their compounds specifically for children of drivers and team members to play upon. Drivers are especially close.
