Almirola declared that his Valentine was a 10 out of 10, a play on his racing number. Meanwhile, Chase Elliott advised people to follow their heart and ‘chase’ their dreams.

Such activities allow them to loosen up a little before they are back on the grind with the first race of the season, the Daytona 500. Last year, McDowell triumphed over everyone, but it will be a real battle to see who will be the next winner. Who do you think will take the crown this time around?
