Kevin Harvick enjoyed watching Kyle Larson‘s son Owen join him in the car after winning the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway. On Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour, Harvick reacted to Owen riding on the side of his father’s car during his victory lap.
“This is the whole scenario, and when you’re winning a lot of races and you’re talking about what you’re going to do next, these are the types of things the conversations that Kyle and Owen are having I’m sure as far as victory celebrations,” Harvick said. “Yeah, I’m sure they weren’t happy about him hanging out of the car, but it was still really cool.”
Harvick added: “So cool to be able to share those moments and so cool that he’s winning enough races to be able to be creative. With the next victory celebration, maybe Owen will drive the car.”
It was a dominant performance for Kyle Larson, leading 462 of the 500 laps and winning by seven seconds. After the race, Larson spoke to NBC Sports about celebrating the win with his son.
Kyle Larson reacts to celebrating Bristol win with son Owen
“Obviously I love having my family here, and I don’t really I feel like ever win when they’re here. I guess only a quarter of them were here tonight,” he said.
“But no, I got the checkered flag and we were pitted — our pit stall was on the backstretch. I was like, I’m going to drive down to the backstretch and maybe my team is on the wall and I can celebrate with them. As I drove by I saw Owen was on pit road celebrating, and I was like, that’s cool.
“I knew he went to the suite or I thought you went to the suite during the race so I thought I’d meet him in Victory Lane or something by the time it took to get all the way down. When I saw him there, I said, cool, I’m going to stop right here and have him hop on and go slow so I don’t hopefully get in trouble.”
Larson added: “No, it’s just cool building memories like that, and I’m hoping he will remember these moments for the rest of his life. Hopefully, someday when he’s winning races and has a family of his own, he’ll get to find his own way to get to celebrate with his children.”
With the win, Larson advanced to the second round of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs which features seven other drivers. The first race of the second round will be on Sunday, the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway.

Brad Keselowski Breaks Silence over Hilarious Retirement Rumors Around Him and Bubba Wallace on thanksgiving
NASCAR is currently suffering from a rough patch in its history. The sport is under massive scrutiny in light of the shocking chats that have been leaked. However, the sport isn’t the only one suffering, as multiple drivers are victims of unnecessary rumors. Amongst many others, Brad Keselowski and Bubba Wallace were falsely rumored to consider retirement from NASCAR. However, Keselowski has trashed the rumors on social media. Brad Keselowski and Bubba Wallace are two of the more influential people on the grid. Both drivers have recieved mixed opinions on the driving style and attitude for a very long time. However, neither Keselowski nor Wallace is considering a retirement anytime soon. The RFK Racing star addressed all the rumors in a hilarious post on X and revealed the ground reality. Brad Keselowski fired some shots at the people who told him that he would never get anywhere in life by sitting on the computer all day. The 41-year-old joked that those very people who asked him not to use technology were now victims of the same. Keselowski remarked that such people believed stories of Bubba Wallace retiring from NASCAR due to the white flag and the former quitting the sport as well. Further, Brad Keselowski reckoned that he understood why the older generation of people were falling for such hilarious rumors. Regardless, the RFK Racing star wished everyone a great Thanksgiving and hoped the best for everyone. Finally, Keselowski concluded his post by claiming that he was not retiring and reassured that Bubba Wallace wasn’t going anywhere either. To all my followers who grew up being told “You’ll never get anywhere in life on that computer,” or “you can’t believe the internet” and today are now trying to defend to the same people who read on Facebook how Bubba Wallace is quitting over the white flag and how I’m retiring. I feel you… Happy thanksgiving! Ps: I know I’m not retiring. Pretty sure Bubba ain’t either. Thanks for sticking up for us Brad Keselowski said via X, @keselowski. Brad Keselowski hilariously reveals ‘the only case’ where he believes the internet Certainly, the internet is both a blessing and a curse. People spread rumors very quickly without any sources. However, it also helps people learn a lot about the happenings of the world very quickly. Though not everything can be believed blindly, as there is as much false news as well. Now, Brad Keselowski hilariously reacts to the only post where he believes the internet. In a hilarious manner, a page shared the recent finding that women who slept naked lived seven years longer as compared to those who didn’t. Brad Keselowski reshared the post and captioned the image. Keselowski claimed that only in this case did he believe the internet and wanted everyone to know the fact. Though it isn’t proven whether this is true or not, it definitely revealed how the 41-year-old is young at heart and likes to just like a teenager would. In this case, I believe the internet. Brad Keselowski said via X. Brad Keselowski isn’t going anywhere and will continue to race in the pinnacle of stock racing. The 41-year-old is suffering from an unfortunate slump on track, but he will give it his all to recover from it. For now, Keselowski will enjoy the off-season break with his family and spend some quality time with them.
Hal Steinbrenner’s comments on Yankees’ profits point to a larger issue
Over Thanksgiving week, New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner provided fans with plenty of news to digest. Among notable items that are circulating, four things stand out: his resolve to lower the payroll below $300 million, the insinuation that the Yankees are not a profitable ballclub, the assumption that the Los Angeles Dodgers’ astronomical payroll played no part in their dominance and his purported support for a salary cap. When seen together, these four items seem to suggest a severe reluctance to spend. Steinbrenner made it clear he wants to come in under the luxury tax threshold. Interestingly, he called the correlation between spending and championships weak, alluding to his Yankees as well as the New York Mets as examples of teams with high payrolls and limited success. However, this opens up a discussion about how said money was spent. The Mets notably dumped a record sum on signing Juan Soto, but did little elsewhere. But what about the Yankees? When asked if it was fair to say the Yankees turned a profit after engrossing over $700 million in revenue, Steinbrenner had this to say, according to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch: “That’s not a fair statement or an accurate statement. Everybody wants to talk about revenues. They need to talk about our expenses, including the $100 million expense to the City of New York that we have to pay every February 1, including the COVID year. So, it all starts to add up in a hurry. “Nobody spends more money, I don’t believe, on player development, scouting, performance science. These all start to add up.” Altogether, the Yankees spent slightly under $305 million on players’ salaries in 2025. For a breakeven season, the Yankees would have needed to spend over $395 million elsewhere. Where did it all go? Steinbrenner mentioned the $100 million expense to New York City. As for the bulk of their expenses, the Yankees owner pointed towards player development, scouting and performance science. This raises a more serious question about mismanagement. The Yankees are overspending on failing analytics If most of the money was spent on development, scouting and performance science, one could easily argue that the cost has outweighed the benefits. Despite having spent so much, these efforts have produced very little. Over the years, the Yankees have seen more failures than success stories when developing major league talent. Promising players and top prospects like Gary Sanchez, Clint Frazier, Deivi Garcia, Miguel Andujar, Domingo German, Chance Adams, Justus Sheffield, Oswald Peraza and Estevan Florial, among many others, never panned out. The team also gave up on Carlos Narvaez and Agustin Ramirez in favor of Austin Wells, who underperformed the pair of rookie backstops this past season. Another catching prospect, Yankees 2018 first-round draft pick Anthony Seigler, who struggled during his time in the Yankees’ farm system as recently as last year, excelled with the Milwaukee Brewers in Triple-A this year. Anthony Volpe, Will Warren, Luis Gil and Jasson Dominguez are four current works in progress. It might also be fair to say the torpedo bat craze the Yankees started has officially ended. Of their recent triumphs, the Yankees boast Ben Rice and Cam Schlittler. Going further back, one might add Gleyber Torres and Aaron Judge to the list; however, Judge’s swing was actually developed by famed hitting coach Richard Schenck, not the Yankees. Spending on these efforts is by no means a waste; nonetheless, it’s clear the Yankees are grossly overspending for something that isn't even working. Whether it means an organizational shakeup or reallocation of funds to target proven major league talent, Steinbrenner’s approach needs to change.
Packers announce head-turning roster move one day after 2025 Lions sweep
Fresh off a Thanksgiving win on Thursday against the Detroit Lions on the road at Ford Field in Detroit, the Green Bay Packers made a notable move to reunite with kicker Lucas Havrisik. Green Bay parted ways with Havrisik just before the Lions game, but on Friday, the team announced that he’s back in the fold after getting signed to the practice squad roster. Via Green Bay’s official website: “The Green Bay Packers signed K Lucas Havrisik (HAVE-ruh-sick) to the practice squad. General Manager Brian Gutekunst announced the transaction Friday.” Lucas Havrisik insurance for now for the Packers It can be recalled that Havrisik saw action in three games in the 2025 NFL season for Green Bay in place of the then-injured Brandon McManus. In those games, the former Arizona Wildcats kicker went 4-for-4 on his field goals, including a franchise record-setting 61-yard make in Week 7’s 27-23 win in Glendale over the Arizona Cardinals. He was also 7-for-9 on extra-point attempts, with both misses happening in Week 11’s 27-20 victory against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. McManus is healthy and perfect in the two games since he returned to action, so there is no reason for the Packers to give his spot to someone else so Havrisik will just be insurance for now for Green Bay, which has a Week 14 date with the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field.
Cowboys expect to open Pro Bowl CB's practice window on Sunday
Out for over a month with a concussion and right knee issues, Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs is moving toward a return from IR. The team expects to open his practice window on Sunday, head coach Brian Schottenheimer announced via ESPN's Todd Archer. Once that happens, the Cowboys will have 21 days to activate Diggs. Now in his sixth NFL season, Diggs played the Cowboys’ first six games of 2025 and started in four before suffering a concussion in an accident at his home. He hasn’t taken the field since Oct. 12. The Cowboys placed Diggs on IR almost two weeks after his concussion, but the move had more to do with concerns over his knee. Notably, it isn’t the same knee that Diggs injured multiple times in the past. He tore his left ACL in 2023 and required chondral graft surgery on the joint last season. The Cowboys lost two of their first three games without Diggs, falling to 3-5-1, but the team has since won three in a row, including a Thanksgiving Day victory against the Chiefs. Dallas, whose defense got off to a woeful start this year, has undergone a few notable changes since Diggs last played. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made a pair of major acquisitions before the Nov. 4 trade deadline, acquiring defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the Jets and linebacker Logan Wilson from the Bengals. The Cowboys have also gotten back a couple of defensive reinforcements, linebacker DeMarvion Overshown and rookie cornerback Shavon Revel, from long-term absences. Those additions have helped the Cowboys surge into the playoff race, and they’ll hope Diggs will also have a positive impact after a rough start to the season. The two-time Pro Bowler didn’t log any interceptions or passes defensed before going on IR. Worse, Diggs allowed a shocking 154.9 passer rating — not far below a perfect mark of 158.3 — when opposing quarterbacks targeted him, according to Pro Football Focus. The Cowboys expect Diggs’ return to come during an all-important showdown with the 7-5 Lions on Thursday, Jones said (via The Athletic's Jon Machota). Both NFC playoff contenders will enter the game with little room for error. Assuming he plays, Diggs will rejoin a cornerback group that saw Revel, DaRon Bland, and Reddy Steward lead the way in snaps in the Cowboys’ win over the Chiefs. They likely won’t have to deal with Lions No. 1 receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, who’s expected to sit out with an ankle injury. Even if Diggs performs better during the last several weeks of the season, this may go down as his final stretch with the organization that drafted him in 2020. The Cowboys signed Diggs to a five-year, $97M extension in July 2023, but there’s no guaranteed money on his deal beyond this season, per Over the Cap. Diggs’ ongoing injury troubles and decline in performance may lead the Cowboys to go in another direction. Releasing Diggs could help the Cowboys keep pending free agent wide receiver George Pickens, who will earn a massive raise on either the franchise tag or a long-term deal.
