Go fast. Turn left. Win. For decades, you could boil NASCAR down to this simple set of rules. The ethos is so concise that it’s often the main source of derision for the sport. (“All they do is turn left,” you might cry.) But that simplicity is also the backbone that made NASCAR popular in the first place.

Move over, Doug The Pug, and make room for Mr. Tickles. Well, that might be a bit premature. But if you’re looking for an animal with an entertaining social media personality, look no further than NASCAR driver AJ Allmendinger’s cat, Mr. Tickles. (He’s presumably Allmendinger’s cat based on the driver’s frequent cameos in his videos and the number of times they retweet and mention each other.) With more than 2,300 followers on…

Cox/Getty Five months after U.S. Soccer lashed out at Megan Rapinoe for kneeling during the national anthem as a form of protest before an exhibition game, they’ve codified their dislike for silent and non-disruptive self-expression in this form. As of today, they’re apparently the first major American sports organization to formally announce a requirement that players stand for the national anthem since Colin Kaepernick sparked anthem…

Take last week in the season-opening Daytona 500, NASCAR’s most prestigious race. Elliott, who had started on the pole and won a qualifying race days earlier, led the race with three laps remaining. He appeared to be in control, his first career victory firmly in…
