The fact that a small handful of NASCAR drivers want NASCAR to create yet another new rule outlawing one of the most incredible last-lap moves in the history of the sport — one that had every fan on their feet and cheering — is beyond baffling to me.

At the request of the family, I’ve been asked to pass along that Ken Squier has been moved from home to Copley Hospital in Morrisville Vermont, where he can receive a higher quality of care as he continues to battle the COVID-19 virus. Prayers to him and the family.

There have been hundreds of thousands of cross burnings, lynchings and instances of noose intimidation over the last 150 years, and exactly one Jussie Smollett. One. But that’s the first thought that comes to some people’s minds. Pretty good indicator of what is in their heart.
