Since France took over the sport in late 2003, NASCAR has implemented what is now known as the Chase for the Sprint Cup and continually tweaked it in an effort to enhance the title race. The on-track rules have shifted over time as NASCAR went through new “generations” of cars.

Here's Brian Williams doing something that like, no other human being can possibly do. MORE DUNKS: ODU’s Richard Ross | Arkansas’ Michael Qualls | VMI’s Jodan Weethee | OK State’s Markel Brown | Northeastern’s David Walker | Southern Miss’ Michael Craig | Syracuse’s C.J. Fair My goodness. What's really scary is that Williams isn't even the best dunker on the team — that would be Markel Brown — but this is by far the best dunk by an Oklahoma State Cowboy this season, and that's saying something....
What happens when a dog trainer and a dog groomer tie the knot? The answer is a paws-itively perfect wedding featuring an array of guests guaranteed to raise the woof. Paul and Annette Anthony from Pennsylvania are the toast of TikTok’s dog-loving community after sharing a series of clips showing their nine beloved canines playing a prominent role in their recent nuptials. At the time of writing they have been viewed over five million times....
In a post shared on Mumsnet’s Am I Being Unreasonable (AIBU) subforum, user Suziestan said she “had a brief affair” with her husband before they got together 10 years ago. “It’s something I’m really not proud about and I would never behave like that again. We now have a young son and I have a nice relationship with my older DH [dear husband’s] children, though it has taken a while for us to get there....
The incident took place in the Dive Ghat neighborhood of Pune, a city in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, on Tuesday, according to the Indian news agency ANI. A video showing the bride on the car bonnet went viral on social media. The clip shows the bride in a sari, adorned in jewelry and surrounded by garlands of flowers as a man films her. After the video went viral, Pune police officers opened a case against the woman for violating protocols that have been put in place to limit the spread of coronavirus....
In a post shared on Mumsnet last Wednesday, under the username Mummyof287, the woman explained that she’s going to be a bridesmaid at her close friend’s wedding, and one of the other bridesmaids is organizing an afternoon tea as a bachelorette party for the bride, but she feels she’s asking too much money. She said: “I am just a bit shocked at the price of the afternoon tea, which she has said will be £40 [$45....
The Roar were high on confidence heading into the clash at Suncorp Stadium, having gone unbeaten for nine games, and they took the lead when Corey Brown found the net early in the second half with a fine volley after some good work from Thomas Broich. Wanderers refused to give up, though, and were rewarded for their efforts in the 69th minute when Dimas Delgado levelled the scoring with a sublime free-kick....
Her latest diatribes about the politically beleaguered John Major, her successor, can leave the impression that he stumbled into her shoes by accident. She chose him. Major, a man so colorless that he has inspired a search for a superlative of the word “gray,” would never have become prime minister without her. Then there is Thatcher’s new-found belief that policies should return to “traditional Christian values.” Given the adulterous antics of some of her cabinet ministers, this is quite a stretch....
Koepka heads into this week’s British Open having won four of the last 10 majors and occupying the world No. 1 ranking. The 29-year-old has frequently insisted he does not get the recognition his achievements deserve and reiterated that point again on Tuesday. But when Woods spoke to the media shortly after Koepka had done so at Royal Portrush, there was no shortage of praise from the 15-time major champion towards a man whose record at the most recent four has been first, tied second, first, second....
The only golf course outside England and Scotland to have ever hosted the tournament, Portrush first welcomed The Open in 1951, the first and so far only time the event was staged in Northern Ireland. In 2014, the R&A—the ruling authority of golf throughout the world with the exception of North America—announced that Royal Portrush had returned to the list of possible host venues for The Open. In the five years since, the Dunluce Links course—one of the two courses at Royal Portrush, along with the adjacent Valley Course—has been modernized to fit the requirements of the modern game....
Spieth became the sixth player to win the Masters and U.S. Open in the same season. Tiger Woods is the most recent to have accomplished the feat (2002), and Ben Hogan did it twice (1951, ‘53). Craig Wood (‘42), Arnold Palmer (‘60) and Jack Nicklaus (‘72) are the others. Hogan, in ‘53, is the only one to follow it up with a victory in the Open Championship. None of those greats, of course, went on to win the British Open and PGA Championship, and the Westgate prices Spieth at 25-to-1 odds to become the first true Grand Slam winner in golf history (Woods won all four tournaments consecutively for what became known as the Tiger Slam but not in the same calendar year)....
Spears has recently been at the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles to end her father’s control as her legal conservator. Jamie Spears, the “Toxic” singer’s father, has been the legal conservator for the past 12 years. Spears wants to replace her father’s role and appoint Jodi Montgomery, her care manager, as her new legal conservator. The court documents stated: “We are now at a point where the conservatorship must be changed substantially in order to reflect the major changes in her current lifestyle and her stated wishes....
The audio file was uploaded to YouTube but then later removed. The audio featured Spears talking at length about her experiences over the past 15 years, her feelings towards her family members, and she also revealed how she nearly fled the country with her “secret” boyfriend. Spears stated that the lengthy recording was in lieu of an interview. She had previously been offered an interview with the likes of Oprah Winfrey for “lots of money” but has turned those requests down....
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny ordered that Jamie Spears be suspended from the arrangement, which has seen his famous daughter’s personal and financial affairs taken out of her hands since 2008. The court order is a major step forward for Britney Spears, 39, in her ultimate goal of bringing the controversial conservatorship to a complete end. So what happens next? Despite Wednesday’s move, the pop icon remains under the conservatorship, albeit with a reshuffled team at the helm....
The pop icon, 40, is in the throes of newfound freedom after a judge ruled in November 2021 that her controversial 13-year conservatorship—during which her personal and financial decisions were taken out of her hands—could be dissolved. In an Instagram post on Tuesday, the “Toxic” singer shared video footage of the rolling green hills surrounding her palatial Southern California home as she revealed that after several years she was planning to move into a new property....
Sigurdsson has been linked with a move to Goodison Park throughout the close-season, with Swansea reportedly holding out for a £50million offer. Get Everton’s EPL title odds Britton accepts his team-mate will almost certainly leave, saying the Iceland international proved his class with nine goals and 13 assists in the Premier League last season. “His stats last year in terms of assists and goals, you’d think he’d be playing for one of the clubs in the top half of the table,” Britton told BBC Radio 5 live....
As for Daldry, 33, it’s hard to recall a more sensational New York debut for a director. Priestley set his play in the Edwardian England of 1912; Daldry and designer Ian MacNeil have placed it in an indeterminate time warp, a blasted postapocalypse wasteland of smoldering, rain-swept ruins above which rises, windows ablaze with light, the house of the industrialist Birling (Philip Bosco). He and his wife, Sybil (Rosemary Harris), are having an engagement party for their daughter Sheila (Jane Adams) and her fiance, Gerald (Aden Gillett)....
Rob Gronkowski. Von Miller. Vince Wilfork. Ryan Clady. Jerod Mayo. The list of casualties for both teams is extensive and impressive and I don't mean that in a good way. Frankly, it's amazing both teams are even in this game but they persevered and never allowed the injuries they've suffered to be an excuse. Yet despite all those big names going down throughout the season, the difference in this game very possibly could be the torn ACL that Broncos cornerback Chris Harris suffered on Sunday against the San Diego Chargers....
But even if players aren’t publicly defending Kaepernick, plenty appreciate what he’s doing. MORE: Worst of bad Kaepernick takes “Colin Kaepernick, know that we see you, man,” Broncos tackle Russell Okung wrote in The Players’ Tribune. “Thank you for reigniting the conversation and the movement for change.” Okung’s entire piece is worth reading, as he describes, in his eyes, the importance of Kaepernick’s protest. The lineman says it reminds him of Tommie Smith and John Carlos’ black power salutes at the 1968 Olympics....
