Let’s be completely honest, with the 2022 NASCAR season over, everyone is unrelieved. With a little over two months before the first race of the new season, there will be little to no action at all, except for a few tests. This isn’t just limited to the NASCAR Cup Series driver and teams, but the fans as well.

From this point onwards, the teams have to step up in the off-season to keep the fans entertained. Now, Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing, Petty GMS Racing, and more are adding life to the party, and teasing teams like Hendrick Motorsports.

Recently, the Front Row Motorsports team declared a minor war on behalf of several other teams. Using a clip from the popular Disney and Pixar movie, Toy Story, the outfit took a cheeky dig at some rival teams. Over here, Buzz Lightyear was supposedly representing Hendrick Motorsports and Team Penske. Meanwhile, the character of Woody was supposed to represent FRM, Kaulig Racing, Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing, and Petty GMS Racing.

What did they imply towards Hendrick Motorsports and Team Penske?

In short, the teams were teasing the bigger organizations that they were better at social media content. So it was up to them to try to keep the NASCAR fans entertained for the next couple of months. Obviously, this is the Internet, so there will be no shortage of memes and hilarious content to share with everyone.

On a more serious note, all teams will soon be hard at work preparing for the 2023 season. There will be a bit of a break so that team personnel can enjoy some time off to celebrate Christmas and the New Year. Beyond that, though, it will be back on the grind once again, for the Cup Series teams. Without a doubt, it will be a highly anticipated campaign, with a few drivers working in new environments. Case in point, Kyle Busch at Richard Childress Racing, and Tyler Reddick at 23XI Racing.
