Together, America just watched the Dallas Cowboys lose in convincing fashion to the Green Bay Packers. So did a lot of NASCAR drivers. Every season, the Cowboys seem to find a new way to lose in the postseason. This year, it came with a porous defense and multiple turnovers.

Dak Prescott threw for two interceptions which led to a lopsided score straight out of the gate. Despite efforts to mount a comeback, the Cowboys couldn’t catch the Packers. By the time the score was 40-16, the game was well out of reach.

The Cowboys would go on to outscore Green Bay in the fourth quarter, but it didn’t matter.

John Hunter Nemechek, back in the Cup Series for 2024, was watching with his wife Taylor. Seems everyone is happy in the Nemechek household.

While John Hunter and his family were celebrating the Packers’ big win, they weren’t celebrating nearly as much as Derek Kraus.

The part-time NASCAR driver had his pizza, a Sun Drop, and the Packers won in the playoffs. He also got to rub it in Erik Jones’ face a little bit. We will see if Jones’ home state team, the Detroit Lions, will join the Packers as winners tonight.

Among all of the NASCAR driver reactions, perhaps no one got it better than Rajah Caruth. The Truck Series driver made an Xfinity Series start with Hendrick Motorsports in 2023. While his 2024 plans haven’t been announced yet, Caruth is enjoying the offseason.

Like, a lot. The D.C. native is no fan of the Dallas Cowboys and was relishing the Packers win.

Dallas Cowboys fall to Green Bay Packers in spectacular loss

Death, taxes, Dallas losing in the postseason. It doesn’t get any more straightforward than that, folks. The Cowboys once again fell apart in the playoffs. It was a shockingly early exit for a team that looked like one of the league’s best at times this year.

Dak Prescott turned the ball over twice in a short period of time. Once the Packers got the upper hand in this one, going up 20-0, it was pretty much over. However, a wide-open TD from Luke Musgrave to give Green Bay 40 points was the end of any hopes Dallas had.

While the NASCAR offseason is still in effect, the drivers are taking in the NFL with the rest of us. Just like you and me, they also think it is fun to watch a team embarrass themselves on national television. Unless you happen to be a Cowboys fan.

The 2024 NASCAR season is around the corner and soon, Sundays will be race days instead of game days. Until then, it’s all eyes on The Shield as we get closer to the Super Bowl.
