Fred Lorenzen won 26 races (including a Daytona 500) in 158 starts and is a Hall of Famer. Two years after his death, he is the first NASCAR driver to be diagnosed with CTE -- stage 3. I spoke with his children and the doctor who studied his brain: usatoday.com/story/sports/na…

NASCAR legend diagnosed with CTE, lived '35 years of constant heartbreak'

Fred Lorenzen, a Daytona 500 winner, is the first NASCAR driver to be diagnosed with CTE, the brain disease often associated with former NFL players.

ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK turns 45 today. John Carpenter wanted Snake Plissken to have an eyepatch from the very beginning, despite studio concerns it would hide Kurt Russell’s face. It became one of the most recognizable character designs in cinema.

The 2026 Coca-Cola 600 will be the first NASCAR Cup Series race without an “Earnhardt” or “Busch” in the field since 1979. It is the first Coca-Cola 600 without either since 1977. Richard Petty won that race. The 47 and 49-year streaks will be broken tonight.

Tell you what ace … forget about NASCAR for a moment … the slowest in a Mazda MX5 last year in Quali at Road Atlanta was a 1min40 sec lap time. You do 10 consecutive laps under 2mins30secs yourself and we’ll see what your stance about drivers and athleticism is then.

Stephen A. Smith randomly called out golfers and NASCAR drivers for not being athletes. awfulannouncing.com/racing/s…

Stephen A. Smith: Golfers and NASCAR drivers are not athletes

Professional golfers and NASCAR drivers might play a sport at a high level, but that’s not enough for Stephen A. Smith to call them athletes.

The infamous decapitation scene from Hereditary (2018) has been turned into a toy by Devin Drake. Just as disturbing as you’d expect.
