DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Kyle Busch is masking his disappointment. He’s hiding his frustration and walking through the NASCAR garage trying not to let anyone see how challenging this season has been for the two-time Cup Series champion. “I’m a great actor, apparently,” he quipped. Busch is winless in 45 races, his last victory coming at Gateway Park outside St. Louis on June 4, 2023. The growing skid has him in a precarious position heading into Saturday night’s race at Daytona International Speedway. Busch needs to win one of the two regular-season races remaining — Daytona and Darlington — to secure a spot in the playoff field for the 12th consecutive year. He last missed the postseason in 2012.

While two wins aren't as many as some other drivers, Reddick enters the Coke Zero Sugar 400 leading the Cup Series standings.

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.
