Kevin Harvick’s crew chief denies cheating led to Harvick’s disqualification at Talladega

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:01:12 GMT

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — The crew chief for Kevin Harvick insisted he didn’t cheat and race conditions caused Harvick to become the first driver disqualified at Talladega Superspeedway since 1972. Harvick lost to Ryan Blaney at Talladega on Sunday in a drag race to the finish line. The margin of victory was 0.012 seconds and Harvick was credited with a second-place finish in the final superspeedway race ahead of his retirement at the end of the season. Some two hours after the race, NASCAR disqualified Harvick, saying the windshield fasteners on the No. 4 Ford were not secure in post-race inspection. The disqualification dropped Harvick from second to 38th — his first last-place finish of the season — and stripped him of all stage points earned Sunday. Stewart-Haas Racing crew chief Rodney Childers chalked the loose windshield up to rough racing conditions for 500 miles and not cheating in a since-deleted social media post. “There have been times I’ve got caught doing something ...

Kale, crispy bacon upgrades grilled cheese to an adult level

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:01:12 GMT

Satisfying, tasty and quick, a grilled cheese is a weeknight staple for a reason. But we use a couple tricks to spruce it up, taking it from an after-school kids’ treat to a meal an adult would love.First, we don’t shy away from a bit of cooking before assembling the sandwich, as in this recipe from our book “Cook What You Have,” which draws on pantry staples to create easy, weeknight meals. We give grilled cheese a tasty — and somewhat healthful! — update by sautéing kale by the handful with caramelized onions to make the bulk of the filling for the sandwich.Second, when we grill the buttered bread, we press down on the sandwich to make more contact with the pan, which promotes flavorful browning.A slather of mustard lends tangy contrast to the melty cheese. To add a salty-smoky note, tuck crisp bacon slices inside the sandwiches before cooking them, though it’s still delicious without it.Just be sure to use a hearty sandwich bread that’s sturdy enough to contain all the fillings s...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:01:12 GMT

Las Vegas (CNN) — For several years a mysterious spherical structure has been rising on the skyline of this desert playground, teasing visitors in recent months with its wraparound LED screen transforming the giant orb into a planet, a basketball, or — most distractingly — a blinking eyeball.Now, finally, we get to go inside.Sphere, the $2.3 billion venture being billed as the entertainment venue of the future, made its public debut this weekend with two concerts by U2.Does Sphere live up to the hype? Are the interior visuals as eye-popping as the ones outside? Is U2, the beloved Irish band now in the latter stage of their career, the right act to christen this massive bauble of an arena?Yes, yes, and yes – with a few caveats.Courtesy Rich Fury/Handout/ReutersDescribing the Sphere concert experience is a challenge, because there’s nothing quite like it. The effect is a little like being in a giant planetarium or a juiced-up IMAX theater, inside a giant spaceship.Built by Madiso...
