Some fans like a television announcer who is bubbling with enthusiasm and having fun in the TV booth, even if that means cracking a bad joke here and there. Some prefer a more calm approach, one where there’s less talking and more focus on the action on the track. Some want all the information they can get. Others don’t want to get overwhelmed by minutia. That was apparent when Sporting News asked fans to rank the best and worst NASCAR announcers....

The Hammoud case is among a handful of money scams uncovered across the country in recent years bearing Hizbullah’s fingerprints.

After the Fourth Great Shinobi War, however, Kakashi lost his revered Sharingan, and with much of his strength being associated with this ocular jutsu, many fans now wonder where he stands in terms of strength and power. He even went on to become the Sixth Hokage despite not having his signature Sharingan anymore, something that speaks volume of his position and capabilities within the Leaf. However, Kakashi was shown to be a ninja prodigy even before he gained the Sharingan, meaning the statement of Kakashi being weaker without the Sharingan is an unjust assumption....

Space toilets are already in use—on the International Space Station, for example. However, these devices are designed to work in near-zero gravity—otherwise known as microgravity—and are equipped with a fan-driven suction system to overcome the problem of defecating in these conditions. For the competition, dubbed the “Lunar Loo Challenge,” NASA wants inventors to come up with designs for a smaller, more efficient device that functions both in microgravity and under the gravity of the moon—which is about a sixth that of the Earth’s, meaning urine and feces will still fall down....

Johnson was forced to start the AAA Texas 500 at the rear of the field after his No. 48 Chevy failed a inspection a third time prior to the race.

Having burly pit crew members, especially crewmen from other teams, getting in the middle of the Brad Keselowski-Jeff Gordon fight seemed to defeat the purpose and make for a dangerous situation, as the sports world saw Sunday night at Texas Motor Speedway when crew members had fists flying in tight quarters on pit road. NASCAR needs to have fights like hockey. If it is going to let angry drivers go at it, let them truly go at it without all the crew guys involved....

While Briscoe may have the big shoes of outgoing veteran Clint Bowyer to fill, he can draw confidence from teammate Cole Custer’s success in 2020, which included a win and the ROTY title.
