According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska.

JR Motorsports has been one of NASCAR’s best developmental organizations in the lower ranks, producing the likes of Chase Elliott and William Byron. Since the start of 2023, the NASCAR team has seen Sam Mayer grow into a true championship contender. Now, JR Motorsports is being linked to a generational NASCAR talent.
According to Sports Business Journal’s Adam Stern, JR Motorsports is in discussions with Connor Zilisch for a full-time seat in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for 2025. Zilisch is regarded as one of NASCAR’s best prospects and has taken the racing world by storm over the last few years. The 17-year-old driver is scheduled to compete with JR Motorsports later in 2024.
Zilisch signed with Trackhouse Racing last offseason, and they are involved in discussions with JR Motorsports. Mayer could be moving to the NASCAR Cup Series in 2025, leaving an opening in the No. 1 car. Either way, Zilisch is projected to be a Cup Series champion one day, and JR Motorsports should not let this opportunity go to a different organization.

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.
