Ryan Blaney gets "caught up in other people's garbage" at Atlanta
While the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion is locked into the playoffs, the year has still been an up-and-down one for Ryan Blaney. On Lap 58, the intensity was picking up as the field raced toward the end of Stage 1. Christopher Bell ended up losing control, spinning sideways. Advertisement A handful of cars were collected including Bubba Wallace, AJ Allmendinger and Austin Dillon, but Blaney thought he was going to be okay. However, he got clipped on his way by and took the hardest hit of anyone as the No. 12 Team Penske Ford slammed the outside wall. He will finish 40th -- last place. After being released from the infield care center, Blaney said of the incident: "I couldn't see much. They kind of started spinning and coming down. I tried to get to the apron and by the time I got there, kind of got blocked. "Yeah, like you (the reporter) said, the story of our year. Just getting caught up in other people's garbage. Just when we get it going pretty good and find some momentum, we don't seem to have things go our way."

And while Blaney never returned to the race, Bell did, albeit more than 70 laps down. Advertisement A few laps later, NASCAR actually had to red-flag the race after a far bigger incident broke out on the backstretch, collecting 23 cars. Blaney also failed to finish the races at Phoenix, Las Vegas, Homestead, Talladega, and Charlotte. Last year, he had seven DNFs throughout the entire season and he's nearly matched that, halfway through 2025.

Jim Harbaugh Added To Disturbing Lawsuit Against Ex-Michigan Coach
Jim Harbaugh Added To Disturbing Lawsuit Against Ex-Michigan Coach originally appeared on The Spun. Despite moving on to the NFL to coach the LA Chargers, Jim Harbaugh continues to find himself ensnared in the fallout from his nine-year run at Michigan. Advertisement After the the school's highly publicized sign-stealing scandal involving former Wolverines staffer Connor Stalions, the 2023 national champion has now been tangled up in an even more disturbing case involving ex-UM assistant Matt Weiss. According to the Associated Press, Harbaugh and Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel have been added to a class-action lawsuit targeting Weiss; who was indicted for hacking into the accounts of thousands of college athletes in search of intimate photos and other scandalous information. The complaint alleges that Harbaugh and others in the Wolverines' athletic department knew of Weiss' behavior and still allowed him to work on the staff. "The university's delay in taking meaningful protective action until after a high-stakes game sends a clear message: Student welfare was secondary," attorney Parker Stinar said. Advertisement "Had Harbaugh implemented basic oversight of his staff, plaintiffs and the class would have been protected against predators such as Weiss," the amended lawsuit stated. "Instead, Weiss was a highly compensated asset that was promoted by and within the football program, from which position he was able to, and did, target female student athletes."

(Photo by)Back in March, Harbaugh said he was "shocked," "completely shocked," and "disturbed" by the allegations made against his former coach. Where things could get even more sticky however is if Jim's brother John ends up getting tied up in this as well— as Weiss also served with the Baltimore Ravens from 2009-2020.
