It may not mean anything toward the trial in December; however, you can’t say this about a current NASCAR owner and expect everything to be OK. The messages out of both sides are ugly, but this is just absurd. It can’t be brushed under the rug and made like nothing happened…

Man, I am really excited for this Formula 1 finale in Abu Dhabi this weekend. Most anticipated race since 2021 Abu Dhabi…I’m sure there won’t be any controversy!…Right?

First Detroit Tigers signing of the winter and I wouldn’t have guessed it with a million tries. Sure, why not? Pitching depth never hurts.

Very sad to lose someone who meant so much to me and my family. Michael was a great person to so many, and we’ll miss him a lot. ❤️

Lando Norris likely becomes a Formula 1 champion today. But, it’s hard to ignore the historical performance that Max Verstappen has achieved in 2025. Nothing short of incredible. The best driver on the grid. Man, this will be exciting today!

Lando Norris is the 2025 Formula 1 champion. Max Verstappen, who was over 100 points behind Norris in the championship, comes up 2 points short of a fifth title. New cars are coming and Apple TV is taking over in 2026. Certainly the end of an era.
