We have tragic news to report from the world of sports today.
Chase Pistone — a second-generation NASCAR star — has passed away.
He was just 42 years old.
News of Pistone’s death comes courtesy of his older brother Nick, who shared the news on Facebook:
“Well, my young brother and best friend is gone,” Nick wrote, adding:
“I’m broken-hearted and don’t know if I’ll ever get over this. I miss you Chase already and I hope you are in a better place.
“I love you and I miss you so much already!!!!!!!” Nick concluded.
Chase’s cause of death is unknown at this time.
However, Nick and Chase’s other brother, Tom, both asked Legends Nation to “post the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, which is 988 on a phone or text.”
We will have further updates on that aspect of this story as new information becomes available.
After starting out in short track competitions, Chase worked his way up to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series and the ARCA Menards Series.
Though he struggled to compete at the cup level, Pistone gained a reputation as a tenacious competitor who was well-liked by his fellow racers.
He went on to forge a successful second career as a team owner and mentor to younger drivers.
In the wake of Pistone’s death, many have praised him for teaching so many others and nurturing their careers.
“Chase was not only a wheelman in Legends and Late Models, but his Chase Pistone Inc. Legends team was a force to be reckoned with every time they showed up at a track, and they usually walked away with the winner’s trophy,” Legends Nation wrote.
Our thoughts go out to Chase Pistone’s loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

Hannah Harper is quickly becoming one of Season 24’s most talked-about contestants and while the buzz has brought some haters, the rising star has proved she isn’t letting anyone tear her down.
She recently took to Facebook to share a harsh comment she received from a stranger, attempting to convince people not to vote for her on the singing competition show because of her background and life as a mom of three.
The statement read, “Please don’t vote for Hannah Harper and Chloe Lauren if they make the live shows. We don’t want some trailer park stay at home mothers who sponge off their husbands’ salaries who are only on for their 15 minutes of fame with no intentions of actually winning this show. Spread the word!”
Luckily, the hateful words didn’t seem to get to Harper, who quickly clapped back saying it was comical to her.
“I don’t ever respond to hate comments… but this one made me cackle,” she wrote. “It’s a real good thing ole boy is behind a screen because us “trailer park” girls are one minor inconvenience away from throwin’ hands. ”
She then corrected the user, who’s name and profile image was blurred out, and explained her trailer wasn’t located in a park. Instead, it was set up “in the middle of a hayfield.”
“Thank you kindly,” Harper added.
The post has quickly racked up almost 7k likes and has caused fans to flood the comment section with support, proving that her supporters far outnumber the haters.
“We ride at dawn for our Hannah Harper!!,” one user wrote. Another stated that a stay at home mom who lived in a trailer park is “exactly” the kind of person they want to see on the show.
“As a “stay at home trailer park momma” that is exactly what we want dude! ”
Another added, “I’ll be voting for Hannah Harper who lives in a trailer”
Fans first got to know the Missouri native when she auditioned for American Idol using an original song, “String Cheese” that captured the hearts of the judged and viewers and became one of the shows most viewed videos ever. She showcased her talent once again in Hollywood Week with a powerful performance of Lee Ann Womack’s “A Little Past Little Rock,” which earned her a spot in the Golden Room.
Once all the performances had come to an end for the week, she and the 60 remaining contestants anxiously returned to the theater, to hear if they had made it into the Top 30. As Idol judges Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood and Lionel Richie revealed the names, Hannah Harper learned she had made the cut and would be moving on in the competition.
Next week we will get to see her journey continue in Hawaii, where each of the contestants will take part in the brand-new “Ohana Round.” Rather than the judges deciding who moves forward, their fate will be in the hands of three different groups: their own families, industry tastemakers and their fellow hopefuls.
Viewers can see the fresh twist untold Monday night when American Idol airs at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and on streaming the following day on Hulu.

Rascal Flatts officially wrapped their 2026 Life Is A Highway Tour over the weekend, bringing their return to the road to a triumphant close. The 21-city trek found the trio reconnecting with fans across the country, joined by special guests Chris Lane and Lauren Alaina, who helped set the tone each night with high-energy opening sets.
As a heartfelt thank you for joining them not only on this year’s run but also on last year’s leg of the tour, Rascal Flatts surprised both Lane and Alaina with unforgettable gifts: brand-new cars. Photos shared to social media revealed that Alaina drove off in a brand-new Ford Bronco, while Lane was gifted a shiny new Ford Mustang.
Following the final show, the members of Rascal Flatts reflected on the significance of the tour and what it meant to be back onstage together for the second consecutive year.
Joe Don Rooney shared his gratitude in a statement that reads: “It’s been such a blessing to kick off 2026 back in front of fans. Each show has just been an overwhelming reminder that our music still means so much to so many people over 26 years later. The guys and I will be riding this high for the rest of the year, we’re so grateful for everyone that took the time to come out to see us!”
Alaina also marked the end of the tour with an emotional message of her own, admitting she was having a hard time saying goodbye.
“Back home in Nashville today thinking back on how blessed I feel to have been part of the Life Is A Highway Tour. There were so many memories and friendships made over the last year that will last a lifetime,” she wrote. “Thank you @rascalflatts for having me out on BOTH legs of this tour and for letting me share this moment with you. Thank you to every member of the band and crew that worked tirelessly to make this tour possible. And thank YOU ALL for showing up and singing along with us every night. @iamchrislane how lucky are we?! I love you all 🥺🤍 (going to cry into my pillow now).”
The Life Is A Highway Tour brought the country icons’ biggest hits roaring back to life each night, taking fans on a journey through more than two decades of chart-topping music. From the emotional pull of “I’m Movin’ On” and “What Hurts the Most” to the high-energy anthems like “Fast Cars and Freedom” and “Banjo,” every setlist was packed with the songs that helped define an era of country music.
While Rascal Flatts’ Life Is A Highway Tour has officially come to a close, fans will still have plenty of chances to catch the trio live throughout the year. The group is set to appear at several major festivals, including Country Stampede and Voices of America Country Music Festival, keeping the momentum going and giving audiences more opportunities to sing along to their favorite hits.

Grief hits us all hard, and in different ways.
In the seven-plus months since Ozzy Osbourne died, Kelly Osbourne’s weight loss has alarmed fans.
She has rebuffed all concern about her body transformation, classifying worried fans as “haters” along with actual trolls.
What’s really going on with her?
She knows how different she looks
TMZ spoke to sources close to Kelly about how her inner circle is reacting to her emaciated appearance.
Her loved ones believe that her alarming weight loss is linked to Ozzy’s passing.
(Kelly has essentially said as much in her many, many clapbacks against what she perceives as “hate” from fans.)
These friends are reportedly concerned, as anyone would be as they watch a loved one wither away before their eyes.
However, they “know she’s working on it,” TMZ reports.
Additionally, these friends are reportedly “giving her grace” over her alarming weight loss.
Sometimes, people have dramatic body transformations and either already have skewed perceptions of themselves or simply change too rapidly to process it.
However, those close to Kelly say that she is aware of how she looks.
Apparently, the tragedy of losing her father has distracted her from all other ends, including her appearance.
Even simply eating enough to be healthy is said to be “hard” amidst her grief.
Her responses to worried fans only amplify the discussion
This of course comes on the heels of Kelly and Sharon taking the stage to accept a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award in Ozzy’s honor.
It was, of course, an emotionally charged occasion for the late rocker’s wife and daughter. The audience felt his loss keenly, also.
However, despite the significance of the occasion, Kelly’s alarmingly gaunt appearance was a distraction.
It was a distraction for the audience and for viewers at home.
And Kelly taking to her Instagram Story to lash out at people who expressed concern didn’t exactly make the story go away.
It is very clear that, to Kelly, every remark about her appearance feels like an attack.
She likens people worrying about her to “kicking” her while she is “down.”
Is this a fair characterization? Of some comments, certainly. But not of all.
But given her current state of mind, it’s unclear how rationally she is able to perceive the world.
Which leads us to the very difficult topic of what can fans do about this?
What can fans say to help her?
We know that this is difficult to hear, but … it is probably safest if random fans, whom Kelly does not know, stop trying to “talk to” her about her weight loss.
This isn’t just a normal PSA about how people should stop screaming into the void under a celebrity’s post. Though, in the same vein as how people should stop listening to TikToks out loud in waiting rooms, people absolutely need to stop that.
Kelly sees every comment as an attack. Most people, when backed into a corner, will double down.
We don’t know the best way to talk her into regaining her health.
All that we know is that, for now, we can start by not making it worse. Let her real-life loved ones worry about guiding her back to being herself.
