Andy Williams was cool and talented enough that he had two separate fandoms. Folks who loved him as a musician who went "Wait, he's a wrestler?" and people who loved him as a wrestler who went "Wait, he has a band?" He had two excuses to cop an ego, yet had a rep as a nice guy.

I wonder if the main reason why they didn't penalize Charles there for his incident with Lewis was because it was an internal Ferrari battle? I know they've done that sometimes where they've washed their hands and let the team handle things internally

When asked if he does the Macarena often, Nico Rosberg said, "Sometimes, yes. It does happen." The earnestness of his response makes me feel a lot better about his WDC than I did at the time.

And now, the question on everybody's mind: Does anybody have anything for Justin Allgaier these next nine races? If you can beat a first seed Allgaier in a Chase that includes Darlington, Bristol and Phoenix, you probably deserve to be champion.

I have so, so much I could say about this race but three things: 1. It solidified NASCAR as the premier stock car series in a southeast full of alphabet soup organizations. 2. It circumvented Sam Nunis and AAA, who had scheduled a 500 mile stock car race at Lakewood on the same day at first.

The first-ever Southern 500 took place on this day in 1950, and it proved once and for all that stock cars had what it took to race for 500 miles. #nascar #southern500

May this Bluesky post serve as public proof that I have bet that I will eat a spoon full of wet cat food live on stream if Ryan Preece can win the championship this season from the 16th seed.
