It’s a back-to-back run of holidays to start the week, with Easter on Sunday and now, of course, the April Fools’ Day “holiday” to start the fourth month of 2024 today.
We were ultimately (and unfortunately) forced to stop our annual April Fools’ Day article trend in 2020 due to the COVID-19 situation at the time, given how much nonsense was already being spread around during non-April Fools’ Day dates, and it was simply never reignited.
On this year’s first of April, let’s have a look back at our final five years of participation in the fun “holiday”.

Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. were dating at the time. Competing for Stewart-Haas Racing and Roush Fenway Racing, respectively, they were said to have agreed to get married and also switch Cup Series teams.

Busch has since left to join Richard Childress Racing, doing so after the 2022 season, while Hamlin still competes for Joe Gibbs’ team.

2019, Part I
2019 provided us with a double whammy. One of them was taken so seriously that the rumored team had to address the situation on social media, and the other was a predetermined scenario which was contingent upon three separate outcomes to even make sense. All three unfolded perfectly.
Ever since his unexpected retirement after the 2016 season, Carl Edwards has been the subject of various NASCAR Cup Series return rumors (spoiler alert: they never happen). But the simple mention of the fan-favorite possibly returning to the sport always gets the crowd riled up.
So when it was reported that he would be joining Team Penske in a fourth car they would be adding by acquiring the Wood Brothers Racing team with which they have a technical alliance, it was totally believable, right?
