NASCAR Power Rankings: No Wins, No Problem; Christopher Bell Takes Top Spot

Christopher Bell has finished second in four of the last five races. That string of solid performances puts him at the top of this subjective power ranking list. I know, I know, he hasn’t won. And Ty Gibbs has a win, a third and two fourths over the last six races. But Bell’s run over the last five races shows that he’s right there challenging for the win every single week. Here are my NASCAR power rankings heading into the Saturday night race at Richmond Raceway: Dropped out: Ryan Preece (Last Week: 9), Carson Hocevar (Last Week: 10) On the verge: Josh Berry, Chase Elliott, Carson Hocevar, Brad Keselowski, Kyle Larson, Ryan Preece Buescher finished 13th but slips into the top 10 — thanks to a 10th, an 11th and a 13th in his last four races. With so much parity, three top 10s in four races puts him on this list. Maybe I just don’t have the heart to drop Reddick off the list. He has a series-high five wins and that has to mean something. But Reddick is trying his best to fall off this list with four finishes of 30th or worse in his last six starts. Welcome back on the list, Willy B! A ninth-place finish might be what’s expected for someone from Hendrick, but as the best Hendrick car at Iowa, it shows he is doing something right. Logano finished second in both stages at Iowa but a loose wheel when he started to drive away on a pit stop forced him to put the car in reverse to return to his pit stall and lose valuable spots. With no cautions in the final stage, he never recovered. A speeding penalty hurt Wallace, but he still placed 12th at Iowa. In a feast-or-famine season, this was closer to feast for Wallace. Briscoe overcame brake issues over the weekend to place sixth. It was his fifth top-six finish in his last six races. Blaney jumped a couple of spots after winning the pole and placing third at Iowa, where he led a race-high 129 laps. It was his first top 10 in three weeks and his series-high 16th of the season. Gibbs earned his second victory of the season with the triumph at Iowa. He is more consistently running in the top five, and if he does that, this won’t be his last win of the year. Hamlin rallied to finish fifth despite not having confidence in his brakes throughout the race at Iowa. He has a big lead in the point standings and has four top fives in the seven races since his last win. Some would say he should remain atop this list. It’s rare to have a non-winner atop the list this late in the season. But Bell has seven second-place finishes this year, including four in the last five races and six of the last 11. Some would say he’s the first loser, but he won’t be a loser much longer if he keeps knocking on the door.​Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

Donald Trump Hid in Catering Truck to Sneak Off Air Force One

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Just weeks ago, Donald Trump ditched his $400 million Qatari jet for the old Air Force One.

At least, that’s what he claimed, oddly commenting that it was “for old time’s sake.”

The truth, it turns out, was that Trump sneaked out of Air Force One and left Turkey on a military craft.

He hid in a catering truck to make the switcheroo without the journalists and staffers still on the plane knowing.

Trump pulled a truck trick to avert assassins (who never actually tried to get him)

In July, the NATO summit took place in Turkey.

Trump’s departure raised eyebrows because the expensive jet — a brazen symbol of the Trump regime’s corruption, albeit one of many — which he skipped using.

Despite his claims at the time that this was out of some sort of odd nostalgia, Trump quickly spilled that there were security concerns.

He called himself “number one” on Iran’s hit list, seemingly as a boast.

Now, the truth of how Trump departed from Turkey on July 8 has gotten much, much weirder.

Numerous outlets are reporting that Trump boarded Air Force One for the cameras as part of what was essentially a hoax.

He then slipped out of the plane and boarded a military aircraft.

Sensationally, Trump was able to sneak out of Air Force One by way of a catering truck.

Journalists and White House staff were both still aboard Air Force One.

None of the journalists and few of the staffers were aware of the sleight of hand.

Trump totally obliterated Iran but he’s switching planes by hiding in a catering cart on international flights and playing golf in NJ next to surface-to-air missile launchers.

It is all just so ridiculous

The shenanigan of cramming Trump into a catering vehicle to sneak him onto a different aircraft is just a few steps removed from something that you’d see on Scooby-Doo.

It does sound like something out of Veep.

Apparently this warning of an alleged plot came by way of Israel, which may cast doubt onto its veracity.

We are, after all, talking about a nation whose bloodthirsty regime has a vested interest in the United States attacking its enemies.

To be clear, there are alleged threats to Trump in the world. None of them seem to have panned out so far, but they exist. Maybe the Iran threat to fire a missile at his plane was legitimate, but nothing came of it.

We are now nearly halfway into August. It was in February when Trump first attacked Iran in a wave of bombings with no particular justification.

What has followed has been worldwide economic suffering, a gas crisis, a weakening of the US’ strategic petroleum reserve, a massive depletion of America’s missile capacity, and an erosion of what little trust remained with key allies.

Multiple times, a deal has seemed within reach. But America’s Mad King seems to be prolonging the war with the intention, critics say, of preserving his ego.

Unfortunately, this is a natural and inevitable consequence of electing unqualified despots who don’t really understand how anything works. Especially if they receive counsel from weird macho ideologues and notorious drunks.

The good news is that the catering truck story is a little source of humor in the unending hell in which we are all trapped.

Brad Pitt Was Spotted Drinking at Taylor Swift’s Wedding Before Confessing That …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

On Monday, we reported on the news that Brad Pitt had started drinking again after seven years of sobriety.

The Oscar winner made the surprising confession during an interview with Esquire.

But it seems that the cat was out of the bag well before that, as Brad reportedly made no effort to conceal his booze consumption at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding.

According to a new report from Page Six, guests were “shocked” to see Brad drinking at the event, as he’s spoken publicly about his sobriety on several occasions.

Though he never detailed his reasons for getting clean, it’s been widely assumed that Pitt’s divorce from Angelina Jolie — and the allegation that he behaved abusively while drunk — played a major role.

The divorce continues to make headlines a decade later, as the A-listers are still battling over shared assets, including the French vineyard and winery they co-own.

News that Pitt is drinking again comes on the heels of a tumultuous few months in which all of Brad and Angelina’s children dropped his last name.

“I was sober for seven years. And then I got back off the wagon,” he confessed in the interview. “In a more restrained manner. I got overconfident a couple times, went, ‘Yep, nope, not good for me.’ Not in big quantities.”

Pitt explained he “can have a few” glasses of wine, but he “can’t have a lot.”

“I have to be professional about it,” he said.

 Pitt first spoke publicly about his sobriety in a 2019 New York Times interview.

“I had taken things as far as I could take it, so I removed my drinking privilege,” he said at the time.

In 2020, Pitt publicly thanked Bradley Cooper for helping him quit drinking, and he spoke about his sobriety journey on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast just last summer.

So the news that Pitt is drinking again came as a surprise to many. And his comments have led to widespread debate about exactly when he tumbled off the wagon.

It was widely assumed that he got sober amid his divorce, but Brad says he was only clean for seven years. So does that mean he’s been back on the sauce since 2023?

We may never know for sure. But it sounds like he had no qualms about toasting to Taylor and Travis last month!
