NASCAR Team Suspended Their Own Driver: Suspensions in NASCAR, often seen as a last resort, are significant actions reflecting the sport’s commitment to discipline and integrity.

These actions not only affect the drivers’ careers but also highlight the teams’ dedication to maintaining standards.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Yuki Tsunoda has apologized for using offensive language on team radio at the Austrian Grand Prix, after being fined heavily by the stewards. The Japanese driver was unhappy at being stuck behind Zhou Guanyu in the pit lane during Q1 on Saturday, and used an ableist slur over team radio to show his frustration, saying: “These guys are f***ing re****ed”.

Tsunoda apologizes after heavy fine for offensive language

Max Verstappen won the Austrian Grand Prix sprint from pole after fending off front-row starter Lando Norris in an early duel. The sprint was reduced by a lap after an aborted start owing to photographers standing behind the barriers at Turn 1, and Verstappen had no trouble keeping Norris at bay off the line when the race eventually got going. But Norris and teammate Oscar Piastri, starting third, clung close to the back of the Red Bull Racing car, the advantage of which was notably reduced without the benefit of DRS. It was a great boost to the chasing McLarens, who were both able to click open their drag reduction systems at the end of the first lap to harry the championship leader.

What is more summery than an icy, sweet frozen drink? If the heat wave is getting to you, try whipping up this simple frozen strawberry lemonade. All you need is your choice of lemonade and some frozen strawberries. You can use store-bought lemonade, make your own from scratch, or a powdered version. As for strawberries, frozen ones are the easiest choice. If you'd rather use fresh, add at least two cups of ice until you reach a nice, frozen consistency.
