I didn’t think I felt a thud, but I was convinced we had hit something. I sat up in my seat,...

NASCAR Driver Alex Bowman Dedicates Cup Series to Animal Shelter Nonprofit
The ever-expanding traditions around NASCAR racing have shaped the way we watch the races today. From the Budweiser Duel at Daytona to kissing the bricks at Indy, these customs have become just as significant to NASCAR fans as the races themselves.

Forever, No Matter The Cost

A few years ago, my cousin’s friend, who worked for a vet, told him about these two puppies found left for dead in a bucket of water.

I had just turned 19, failed out of college, and was living out of my car in California when I decided to make a change. I threw a dart at a map I had placed on the wall of my friends living room. Boom! It hit Tennessee, and one week later I packed up everything I owned, sold what I could, and drove east. An acquaintance of mine had a cousin who lived in Tennessee and offered me to let me...
