Portland, OR

When Robert Wickens hit the wall in the Pocono IndyCar race back in 2018 the Canadian racer suffered a bruised spine that took away his ability to walk, let alone race. By 2022 he was back racing full time with Bryan Herta Autosport in IMSA’s TCR class using specially adapted hand controls, and in 2023 he won the season championship. It took him a lot longer than he’d hoped to get back into an open wheeler, but after 2,141 days out of the cockpit, he spent this weekend testing a hand-controlled Formula E chassis during the Portland E-Prix weekend. I don’t think there’s a bigger badass in racing right now than Wickens. Dudes rock.

AM Racing has made a shocking change ahead of the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at the Chicago Street Course. On Monday afternoon, AM Racing announced that Hailie Deegan will not drive the No. 15 Xfinity car at the Chicago Street Course. Instead, Joey Logano will pilot the entry as the organization looks to increase its performance in 2024.
In 2024, Deegan has a best finish of 12th place at Talladega Superspeedway with five straight finishes of 25th place or worse. The 22-year-old driver sits 27th in the point standings, the worst of any driver who has made every start throughout the 2024 NASCAR season. This is a major difference for AM Racing compared to the 2023 season.
Brett Moffitt drove the No. 15 car and finished 15th in the point standings last year. As of now, Deegan sits 27th in the point standings. AM Racing never said when Deegan will return to the entry, but the next Xfinity Series race is at Pocono Raceway on July 13. Logano will look to provide feedback to AM Racing in its efforts to increase performance in 2024.

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. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

Since antiquity, humans have envisioned various means of time travel into the future or the past. The concept has since become a staple of modern science fiction. In particular, the number of films that make use of time travel has increased significantly over the decades, while the real-world science has evolved right alongside them, moving from simple Newtonian mechanics and general relativity to quantum mechanics and the notion of a multiverse or more exotic alternatives like string theory.
