NASCAR stars hit the greens at American Century Championship
While some NASCAR stars used their off-weekend to race Nationwide Series cars, sprint cars, or head on vacation, Denny Hamlin, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Michael Waltrip took part in the 25th annual American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nev.
Before hitting the links, Stenhouse got a little nostalgic with a throwback Thursday picture of his first golfing adventure.
