Joey Logano
You tried to stay in the pit box to watch the whole race. But after a delayed start for rain, two red flags and countless cautions, you couldn't stay up for any longer.
Joey came back to the motorhome to find you buried under the covers in bed, totally asleep. Frankie was curled up at the foot of the bed, also out like a light.
Joey laughed to himself, and of course, took a couple of pictures of the sight. But after such a long day, he was even more worn out than you.
He managed to climb into bed next to you without waking you up. He put his arm around you before drifting off to sleep. The two of you spent the night curled up together.
Ryan Blaney
"Okay, what do you want to watch next?" You turned to your boyfriend, only to find him completely crashed next to you.
The two of you were supposed to be having a movie night, but somebody fell asleep before the end of the first movie.
You sat there, glaring at Ryan for a few minutes, trying to figure out what to do. Finally you decided that if he couldn't be bother to stay up, you got to pick the next film.
You started to get up to put in another DVD, but all of the sudden, you were yanked back down on the couch.
"Well, look who's awake? Are you going to make through the next movie?"
"No," he mumbled, his eyes barely open. "No more movies. I'm tired. How about we both sleep?"
You weren't that tired, but he was your boyfriend, after all. So you turned off the TV and rested your head his chest. Even though you weren't tired, you fell asleep pretty quickly.
Kyle Larson
You and Kyle were arguing about something that really wasn't that important. But it did make you mad enough to insist on sleeping on the couch. You even put your headphones in so you couldn't hear his pleas.
You enjoyed your high horses for a while, until it started getting late. You were cold sitting by yourself on the couch, and you missed feeling Kyle's arms around you. Finally, you broke and crept into the bedroom.
Kyle clearly hadn't been sleeping well either, as he sat up when you walked in. You each gave an apologetic smile, and you climbed into the bed without a word. Once you were nestled in his arms, you fell asleep almost instantly.
Chase Elliott
Chase planned a big, cross-country road trip for the two of you to take during the offseason. For the first few days, you guys decided to keep driving until the both of you were too tired to keep going, and see where you ended up.
On one of these days, you gave up a lot quicker than Chase. The gentle rhythm of the road rocked you to sleep as the radio played in the background. The next thing you knew, Chase was shaking you awake.
"Are we at a motel?" you asked. "Is there a bed?"
"No," Chase said, laughing. "We're at a rest stop. You have to see this!"
You let him pull you out of the car to a clearing nearby. You rubbed your eyes until you could open them all the way, and you gasped.
The rest stop was near the top of a mountain, and the sky around you was lit up in a rainbow of colors as the sun dipped below the peaks in the distance. You couldn't remember the last time you saw a sunset this beautiful.
"Okay, this was worth waking up for."
