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.

MADISON, Ill. (AP) — Josef Newgarden won for the fifth time at World Wide Technology Raceway on Saturday night, taking the lead during a late pit stop and holding off teammate Scott McLaughlin on two restarts. Newgarden survived a partial spin-out on Lap 196 in the 260-lap race, keeping his No. 2 Chevrolet out of the wall as he turned sideways coming out of Turn 2. “I pushed a little hard in that moment, made a mistake and then I was so thankful that we didn’t wreck because I knew we could gather this up and still win this race,” Newgarden said. Newgarden’s incident brought comparisons to Danny Sullivan’s “spin and win” in the 1985 Indianapolis 500.

On August 19, 1909, the first race is held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, now the home of the world’s most famous motor racing competition, the Indianapolis 500. Built on 328 acres of farmland five miles northwest of Indianapolis, Indiana, the speedway was started by local businessmen as a testing facility for Indiana’s growing automobile industry. The idea was that occasional races at the track would pit cars from different manufacturers against each other. After seeing what these cars could do, spectators would presumably head down to the showroom of their choice to get a closer look.

Who would have thought that a chain known for its endless shrimp promotion could find itself in such a pickle? But here we are—Florida-based Red Lobster, which has been reeling from financial troubles, may have finally found a lifeline. After a surprising $11 million loss in the third quarter of 2023 due to that very shrimp deal, Red Lobster filed for bankruptcy in May 2024. And now, there’s a glimmer of hope on the horizon.

Well, that escalated quickly. What seemed like a simple spin for Corey LaJoie rapidly transitioned to a flipping crash down the backstretch at Michigan International Speedway. LaJoie was attempting to pass Noah Gragson on lap 135 of Monday’s rain-delayed race when the pair made brief contact. That sent LaJoie’s No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet spinning to the left, where it near-immediately began to take flight. The car flipped over and rolled down the backstretch and into the inside wall on its roof before catching the grass near Turn 3 and flipping twice before landing on its wheels.

One Dunkin’ Donuts location, known for its familiar aroma of coffee and donuts, found itself temporarily closed after a state inspection uncovered a few issues. Not all Dunkin’ locations are created equal. Take the one at 3745 Pleasant Hill Road in Kissimmee, for instance. This particular branch, despite its efforts to keep customers caffeinated and satisfied, has had its share of mixed reviews.
