Woke up and had a dream we finished Top 10 in our Cup Series debut.

1900s photo, smallpox vaccination: Left boy was unvaccinated and developed severe smallpox, Right boy was vaccinated and remained healthy. This pic was widely used to demonstrate the effectiveness of vaccination. Thanks to efforts like this, smallpox was officially eradicated in 1980 🧪

Vaccinate for newborns and kids under the age of 1. They can't get the measles vaccine until they are 1 year old, so by refusing vaccines you are putting children at risk.

I just discovered that Tamagotchis still exist... ...and that they have a Baby Yoda one... ...well, there goes my wallet!

Yes! Veekay is back baby.

Doug Boles named new President of IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway

The Super Bowl is over, which can only mean one thing... ...motorsports season is back, Baby! Start your engines!

Per IndyCar on Fox socials: Josef Newgarden & Joey Logano pre-Super Bowl.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

There are few true geniuses in this world. At the top of my list is the legend who decided it was a good idea to cook with beer.

I don't know what you're talking about @marshallpruett.bsky.social. Race car engines ARE music--at least to my ears!

Happy Groundhog Day

If you were a race fan in the 90s then this is insane! racer.com/2025/01/31/n...

I've said for years that motorsports and spaceflight are more similar than you think. I know people in the industry that agree, but... ...it's so refreshing to see the two industries team up like NASA and IMSA did earlier this month! arstechnica.com/cars/2025/01...

Post the amazing science things you have done with federal funding.

Hinch drove from 10th to 2nd--what a beast! The Pfaff Lamborghini is now 3rd!

The racing season starts in 30 minutes let's go IMSA at the Daytona 24! Go get a win, Rexy--my kiddo is rooting for you!

Steve definitely deserves this honor

Let's go New Glenn!!! Congrats to everyone who made getting a superheavy rocket to orbit on the first try possible!!! #BlueOrigin

Fires are dying down in LA, and I've finally had time to process the situation. I'm thankful for the response that the city of LA has had. The volunteer opportunities are limited because so many people are out there already, and if you check Go Fund Me you'll see incredible donations. Awesome!

@marshallpruett.bsky.social just listened to the most recent Podcast and realized we missed an important point! With McLaren's acquisition of Schmidt Peterson, #RIPtoSPAM (2020-2025)

It's official, @indycar.com fans! Your Fox Sports booth is: Will Buxton, James Hinchcliffe, and Townsend Bell! www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Serious question: When we colonize the Moon we're not making open-bottle laws, right? I feel like it's only right...

This needs more attention. Of all the states in the US Indiana is one of 13 to ban car sales on Sundays. Indiana! The World Capital State of Motorsports!

NASA JPL chief Laurie Leshin says that over 150 staffers at the research center have lost their homes in the LA fires; the lab has set up a relief fund to help them out, which you can support here: caltech.imodules.com/controls/ema...

According to Nathan Brown the FOX @indycar.com both will have Will Buxton. ...but Hinch and TBell will join him!

Hey @indycar.com / Hinchtown fans! James mentioned on the Red Flags Podcast he's keeping his schedule open for BOTH Indycar and IMSA. m.youtube.com/watch?v=PAa8... Not 100% confirmation of a deal, of course, but good news if you like Hinch on broadcasts!

Per Project 91: NEWS: Four-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves will enter the DAYTONA 500! The IndyCar legend will drive our No. 91 Wendys Chevrolet at Daytona next month. www.trackhouseracing.com/newsroom?p=h...

The Colts won, anyway. Shows what pull I have.

Colts fans don't want the Colts to win. No playoffs means a better pick. A better pick means a brighter future. A better future means happy fans.

Da Bears win!

If you love race car sounds check out @marshallpruett.bsky.social Podcast episode where he recorded the glorious Aston Martin V12 Valkyrie going around Daytona! marshallpruettpodcast.com/category/the...

Goodbye to probably the most roller-coaster year (and I like roller-coasters)!

Correlation does not imply causation, but it does imply that you are about to be eaten by the datasaurus from mattiheino.com/2019/05/10/c...

Just opened a fortune cookie and there wasn't a fortune inside... ...that's not a bad omen, is it? IS IT?!?
