Ryan Blaney, driver of the #12 Menards/Dutch Boy Ford, waves to fans as he walks onstage during driver intros prior to the NASCAR Cup Series Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway on April 06, 2025 in Darlington, South Carolina. More"It's funny because there's some things that you don't remember about it, like, 'oh wow, I can't believe that happened or we said that,' and Joanna said a couple of things. She's like, 'I don't remember saying that', and a little mortified a little bit I think of some things that the microphone caught, but no, I thought it was great.
"I thought they did a good job of taking their time with this one. More time than they did last year of waiting to put it out so they can refine some stuff. And it was cool for me personally having them around, following us around for our title defense that year and that was a fun journey with those folks over at Netflix."
Confirming that he would support a third season, he continued:
"Yes, is my answer to season 3. I hope everyone likes it enough and I hope Netflix gets enough of a response from it again to warrant season 3, because I think people really enjoy the inside look of the teams and the drivers and their significant others and the toll that it takes on a week to week basis.
"And the highs and the lows of the sport, I think people can can relate to that in their own way, how people celebrate the good times or deal with the rough times.
"I think it's all about the relatability side because the fan watching can't relate to driving race cars because they don't get the chance to do it. But, if you can relate to the person, I think people can really kind of latch on to you and then latch on to the sport as well.
"So I hope they bring it back. I really do. I enjoyed filming with those folks and they're very respectful of us. I hope everyone liked it."

Duchess Meghan turns 44: British royal gets sweet birthday shoutout from As Ever brand
Duchess Meghan may be busy building her business kingdom, but today she's being crowned. The British American royal and entrepreneur, who turned 44 on Monday, Aug. 4, received a warm birthday shoutout on Instagram from her lifestyle brand As Ever, which launched in April to fan acclaim. The company, which has become known for its homey aesthetic and assortment of fruit spreads, herbal teas and baking mixes, shared a black-and-white photo of the duchess wearing a sun dress and wide-brimmed hat alongside its celebratory message. "Celebrating the woman behind it all," the company wrote in the post's caption. "She pours her heart, vision and magic touch into every detail, and today, we raise a glass to her! Happy birthday to our founder @meghan 🥂" See Duchess Meghan's daughter Lilibet: Young princess makes adorable cameo in As Ever teaser Meghan, who is married to Prince Harry, has yet to share any glimpses of her birthday festivities with her 4.1 million Instagram followers. The Duchess of Sussex has been more open about her family life with Harry, which includes children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, with a series of candid posts. Meghan first teased As Ever in March 2024 when she made a buzzy return to Instagram after a yearslong social media hiatus to introduce fans to the lifestyle project, formerly named American Riviera Orchard. The duchess later revealed she renamed the brand As Ever because the previous title, a reference to her and Harry's Montecito residence, "limited me to things that were just manufactured and grown in this area." The first As Ever drop sold out in under an hour, and one product — the limited-edition wildflower honey with honeycomb for $28 — had fans buzzing, selling out in less than five minutes. The featured products in the company's first collection included $12 herbal tea in three flavors: hibiscus, peppermint and lemon ginger. 'You have to be authentic': Duchess Meghan responds to twerking video backlash The lifestyle brand teased its upcoming release, a vintage rosé wine, in an Instagram video on Aug. 3. "Goodness in a glass. Right around the corner... Cheers to August!" the company wrote alongside the teaser. As Ever is produced alongside Netflix, which also distributes Meghan's lifestyle show "With Love, Meghan." The series premiered in March and was quickly renewed for a second season, although a release date has not been announced. Contributing: Taijuan Moorman and Jay Stahl, USA TODAY

Scarlett Johansson, Adam Driver's ‘Marriage Story' being used to scare wolves from killing cattle across US
Nothing drives wild animals away faster than hearing actors scream about divorce. Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver's 2019 film 'Marriage Story' is being used by the United States Department of Agriculture to keep wolves away from killing cattle, according to The Wall Street Journal. 'Riding to the rescue are drone cowhands, whose quadcopters have thermal cameras that can reveal any wolf lurking in the darkness and bathe it in a spotlight,' the outlet reported. Advertisement 8 Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver's 2019 film 'Marriage Story' is reportedly being used by the USDA to keep wolves away from killing cattle. Netflix 8 Scarlett Johansson as Nicole and Adam Driver as Charlie in 'Marriage Story.' AP 'A loudspeaker broadcasts alarming sounds like fireworks, gunshots and people arguing,' it continued. 'One recording is of the fight between Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver in the movie 'Marriage Story.'' Advertisement The practice of using loud noises to scare off endangered species of animals, dubbed 'wolf hazing,' is not new, but the idea of using Noah Baumbach's Oscar-nominated drama certainly is. 'Marriage Story,' which stars Johansson, 40, and Driver, 41, as a couple going through an ugly divorce and custody battle over their son, received critical acclaim when it was released in theatres and on Netflix. 8 Adam Driver as Charlie and Scarlett Johansson as Nicole in 'Marriage Story.' Jose Perez / 8 'Marriage Story' stars Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver as a couple going through an ugly divorce and custody battle over their son AP Advertisement The focal point of the film unfolds when Nicole (Johansson) and Charlie (Driver) scream at each other for four minutes amid the complete breakdown of their relationship. While the scene was so intense that it earned the 'Black Widow' star and 'House of Gucci' actor nominations at the 2020 Academy Awards, it has also reportedly saved countless cows and other livestock targeted by gray wolves. 'Drones were deployed in the Klamath Basin of southern Oregon after 11 cows were killed by wolves there in a 20-day period,' the WSJ reported. 'Over the next 85 days, when drones were on patrol, only two were killed.' 8 Scarlett Johansson at the JW Marriott Essex House on June 25, 2025, in New York City.

WireImage A USDA district supervisor in Oregon told the outlet that the argument from 'Marriage Story' – as well as AC/DC's blaring 1990 hit 'Thunderstruck' – works just as well, and if not better, than recordings of fireworks and gunshots. 'I need the wolves to respond and know that, hey, humans are bad,' they explained. The Post has reached out to Johansson and Driver's reps for comment. 8 Scarlett Johansson as Nicole and Adam Driver as Charlie in 'Marriage Story.' AP 8 Adam Driver as Charlie and Scarlett Johansson as Nicole in 'Marriage Story.' LRNYC / MEGA 'Marriage Story' was unironically lauded as 'the best war movie of the year' in 2019, and Laura Dern went on to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of family law attorney Nora Fanshaw. Director Noah Baumbach, during an interview with Awards Daily upon the film's release, revealed that he always knew the movie would be called 'Marriage Story' – even despite it being about a divorce. Advertisement 'It was the title I had from the beginning,' he explained. 'It took me a long time to fully commit to it. It's interesting about the movie; it didn't take a poetic title. It always felt like 'Marriage Story' was the right thing; in some ways, it's both specific and generic at the same time.' 'Also, the narrative of marriage,' Baumbach continued. 'What is a marriage? Who gets to tell the story of a marriage? Is a marriage a marriage if it's over? All these questions are embedded in that title.'
