The last (for now) championship weekend at Phoenix Raceway. I love being back out West.

@alexnavarro.bsky.social you are the expert. Is "celebrated" the proper term for this press release announcing EA Sports will keep making Madden games?

Chase Briscoe and John Hunter Nemechek turned off all the assists on #NASCAR25 and put it on expert mode. They quickly learned how easy it is to spin your tires and hit the wall during a preview event.
Chase handed me the controller for a Chicago street race. I wrecked in turn 1.
I’m not a pro.

23XI and FRM filed legal documents today saying why the Court should grant a preliminary injunction. One key detail is the statement that they will go out of business after the 2025 season if NASCAR sells their charters.
