The NASCAR family is saddened by the loss of Ned Jarrett, a NASCAR Hall of Famer, two-time Cup Series champion and one of our sport's greatest ambassadors.
We extend our deepest condolences.
We’re heartbroken to share the devastating passing of Man Hater. A once-in-a-generation bull, Man Hater was respected by every rider and loved by everyone who knew him.

Once upon a time (2021) Leonard built a 50% scale 427 replica
People said that’s cool, but does it run?
Once upon a time (today) Leonard revved a new handmade 50% scale Boss 429 to 6000rpm without sending pushrods through the ceiling

Hard to find the words following this tragedy, but Wes Rucker was one of a kind and always respectful. A proud husband, father and member of our media, I’ll miss seeing his familiar face throughout the year. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family.
Please support them if you can. 🙏

“I’m just trying to be the example you want to set in the world… My parents did not raise hypocrites.”
Chilling. Wes Rucker offered up a perfect PSA about who he was roughly an hour before he was killed in a car accident.
We say goodbye to Oscar-winning actor and filmmaker Robert Duvall.
With a career spanning over seven decades, Duvall's storytelling transcended mediums and generations of audiences – as he delivered a range of unforgettable performances.
Our thoughts are with his loved ones.
Robert Duvall & Al Pacino were perfect as Tom Hagen & Michael Corleone in The Godfather I & II. When you watch these films, you’re witnessing two generational actors at the start of their careers. Their moments shared together on screen are invaluable. Duvall will be so missed.
BREAKING: Robert Duvall has passed away at 95. I’m so heartbroken. This man meant the world to me. I write about him often because his films have literally enriched my life. I knew this day would come, but it doesn’t make this any easier. We just lost an acting legend. RIP.

Monday morning thoughts.
I've told this story before, but there are new folks that follow me and I figure they might get something from it.
I grew up (and still live) in a little interstate community called Baileyton in the upper Northeast Tennessee Mountains.
When I was little, dad had left, mom worked her ass of at 2 and 3 jobs to keep me fed, but with her having barely an 8th grade education, times sucked.
In Baileyton, there was a little grocery store named Jones' Grocery ran by a man named Frazier Jones. If it hadn't have been for Mr. Jones' kindness and charity, we probably would have starved.
Mr. Jones would allow my mom to run up a tab at his store and pay him come income tax return time. He even paid our light bill a couple of times when we couldn't.
He never asked for recognition. Never asked for anything in return. Just pay him back when she could. Sometimes that tab would reach over $2000.... in the 1980s. Mom always paid him, but he never asked for a cent of interest.
For a few years, before my step father came into the picture, Mr. Jones was literally the man keeping us in a home. He owed us nothing. He had zero obligation. He just helped because he could.
I will never forget him and what he did. Never.
So today, as you step out into that crisp Fall air, pay attention to those around you. I guarantee there is a hard working single mom or dad who is breathing the cool air and is worried about how they will heat their home this winter.
If you can be a Mr. Jones, then be one. The world needs them by the millions.
I hope he and his family know the impact he had on a little boy from right here in Baileyton. 35 years later, and I still wake up on a random Monday morning and think of him when I realize my house is warm now and my children don't have to take a cold shower before school because hot water was too expensive of a luxury.
I'll never forget you, Sir. Rest easy and don't worry. The ones you touched then will hold the line now. We got this. Thank you for everything.
24 years ago Welles Crowther gave his life for others on 9/11. This is probably the best story @espn has ever done. As the memory of 9/11 fades, it’s important to remember what true bravery looks like in the face of evil. Watch this:
