Stewart-Haas Racing driver Kurt Busch is taking advantage of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series off-weekend by traveling to Baku, Azerbaijan to cheer on his Haas Formula One team counterparts, Romain Grosjean and Esteban Gutierrez in the Europe Grand Prix.

En route to the race, Busch also spent the week with a few friends, touring the beautiful country of Luthuania.

Busch even had some fun hanging out with the Luthuanian national basketball team along the way.

Great country, culture, hosts and last but not least food and 'alus' aka local beers...to help the jetlag. #Lithuania
