Kevin Harvick’s level of concern is growing after a Joe Gibbs Racing car suffered engine trouble for the second consecutive week. First, Christopher Bell’s car puttered to the finish after racing for the win in Illinois, and Denny Hamlin wasn’t as fortunate in Sonoma, as his No. 11 Toyota gave out on him during the first couple of laps on Sunday afternoon. During the latest episode of his Harvick’s Happy Hour podcast, Harvick revealed whether JGR should be worried about the inside of their cars moving forward, and if the pattern is one their drivers should be aware of this weekend during NASCAR’s trip to Iowa. I think there…

In response to the Thomas Urban letter, “Pete Rose belongs in the baseball Hall of Fame” The one problem NOT listed in that letter for current Hall of Fame inductees is gambling on games of baseball where the gambler took an active part on the field or managing the team. Pete Rose claims that he only gambled on his team to win but what did that tell his gambling connections when he didn’t bet? It gave them the idea to bet that Pete’s team would more likely lose that game. Did manager Pete withhold certain starting pitchers and relief pitchers…

Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet have shared an emotional message on Instagram. Verstappen’s girlfriend shared a message in which she stressed to think about the consequences of spreading lies and inciting hatred. Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet made an appeal on Instagram Tuesday night about fake news. What prompted this post is not clear, although the two give an opening for what the trigger might be. Piquet on Instagram: “A note from me and a gentle reminder to all…The online world can be a wonderful place for various reasons, but a very scary one when wrong information and lies are thrown around.…

Kevin Harvick predicts things are only going to get worse for Stewart-Haas Racing as the season winds down. On his Happy Hour podcast, Harvick talked about how the team is adjusting after announcing it will shut down at the end of the year. “Since the announcement, it has gotten worse,” Harvick said. “The last couple of weeks hadn’t been good. Noah Gragson was running well, and they’ve kind of fallen off a fair amount as well.” Harvick was then asked if he thought that would happen since it’s likely a distraction for everyone involved in Stewart-Haas. “I think that as Stewart-Haas Racing goes…

The Braves offense is amid a shockingly abysmal stretch since the end of April in which they’ve been among the worst lineups in baseball. If it weren’t for Marcell Ozuna, an argument could be made that this team might not even be .500, let alone nine games over. However, there are signs of improvement; most notably, Matt Olson‘s form over the last few weeks. The Braves first baseman, who set a franchise record for home runs in a season last year with 54, began the season like much of the Atlanta offense, mired in a nasty slump. From April 9th to May…

With a struggling offense and the reigning NL MVP out for the season, the Braves all of a sudden are a team to keep a close eye on leading up to the trade deadline. The top priority for Atlanta has to be acquiring a bat, and I would argue one isn’t nearly enough. They need several, and outfielders are the most logical fit,which Jim Bowden noted in his latest piece for The Athletic. “Three years ago, the Braves lost Ronald Acuña Jr. to a season-ending ACL tear but went on to win the World Series because president of baseball ops…

Without a doubt, times are a bit tough for the Atlanta Braves. However, it seems that the franchise and its players are well thought of by MLB players. This was indicated in the 2024 MLB Player Poll via the Athletic. It seems may around baseball feel Ronald Acuna Jr. is one of the most talent players in the game, and the Braves were the team that earned the highest percentage of votes in regards to the question about which team players would most like to sign with. So, for whatever it is worth, it certainly seems that the vibes remain positive off the field. Now…

It’s about time Pete Rose gets the recognition he deserves while still alive for being a great, hard-nosed baseball player (”Time to let Rose in Hall of Fame, and restore OSU’s 2010 record,” Bob Paulson column, May 5). Other players have earned accolades and been inducted into the Hall of Fame for their abilities and stats even though, as The New York Times’ Bill Pennington wrote a decade ago, the HOF “already includes multiple virulent racists, drunks, cheats, brawlers, drug users and at least one acknowledged sex addict.” And in the future — who knows — maybe it will include…
