RFK Racing’s rise with Brad Keselowski in the NASCAR Cup Series has been superb. The NASCAR team struggled in 2022 but turned it around near the end of the year. Since the start of 2023, RFK Racing has run well, leading to talks of Keselowski and Buescher having deep playoff runs. Now, the organization is linked to a significant sponsor for the 2025 NASCAR season.
According to Sports Business Journal’s Adam Stern, RFK Racing has been tipped as the likely landing spot for Kroger, which seems to be leaving JTG Daugherty Racing at the conclusion of the 2024 NASCAR season. This would be a massive addition for RFK Racing, which would gain one of the sport’s most heavily invested sponsors.
Kroger would join Fastenal and several other major sponsors at RFK Racing and could give the NASCAR team enough flexibility to acquire another charter. The hope for RFK Racing is that it closes the deal with Kroger, as it would greatly benefit the organization. A new era for RFK Racing could be on the way with the possibility of a new sponsor and driver.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.
