The doctors are taking mom back to ICU. Her heart and lungs are really bad. Her organs are shutting down. They don’t think she is going to make it.
Will know more when the doctor calls at 2pm. Could use some positive vibes and prayers right now.

"If you choose, please join me in prayer."
That was honestly... refreshing. I've long talked about the invocation being the 1 point each weekend that, being Jewish, I felt awkward.
That invocation made it less awkward today.

With the 6-inch offset spoiler and 670HP package,
@Blaney
reportedly ran a 29.668 second, 182.014 MPH lap.
That would have been 17th in qualifying in 2019 and on the pole in both 2020 and 2021.

BRAVO to German tennis player Alex Zverev who stopped his match to call out a pro Hitler comment from one of the fans!
The spectator shouted “Deutschland über alles”, the national anthem of Hitler’s SS Germany during the Zverev vs. Sinner game.
The referee quickly followed up…
Last night, I would've been critical of a 12-year-old driving a Modified. Reflecting on it, when I was 12, I was taking care of my Mom when she had a serious heart condition.

What you're seeing is NASCAR's Air Titans and Jet Dryers. The Titans blow moisture off of the racing surface while jet dryers are trucks with jet engines on the back blowing heat into the racing surface. Over time, that dries the racing surface.

22 years later, Marlin's chassis from that race is still racing in ARCA with Rette-Jones, and is likely the car Muniz himself will race at Daytona 🤯
At Richmond, the Cup Series had its first overtime finish since Kansas last Fall, 15 races ago.
14 consecutive races without an overtime finish marked the longest run in the Cup Series in more than a decade (last 17 races of 2013 + first 3 of 2014)

Kind of complicated
The 88 team & Bowman became the 48 team
The 48 team became the 5 team with Larson & the 88 was renumbered the 5
Larson started the season last year with Ganassi's 42. He was suspended & went to sensitivity training after using a derogatory term on iRacing
