NASCAR Doubles Down at Pocono
A great deal of attention has been given to such changes as moving the season finale from Homestead-Miami Speedway in Florida to ISM Raceway in Arizona, and moving the Brickyard 400 to the July 4 weekend.

How did an airplane end up on a car dealer’s lot? Pilots are generally fervent about only selling an aircraft to someone within the flying community. In the case of one Piper Cub being traded toward a new car, it is safe to say that passion was overruled by a greater need.

Review: Astons on the Avenue, Monterey Car Week 2025
