Beyonce horrifies fans as she suffers mid-air drama in flying car prop during Cowboy Carter show
BEYONCE sparked sheer terror among fans in her native Texas after a "scary" mid-air mishap on a show prop. The Halo hitmaker, 43, was left tilting in space as her red Cadillac - which was suspended in space - skewed to one side. 7 7 7 7 Beyonce, whose Cowboy Carter tour arrived at the NRG Stadium in Houston last night, delighted fans as she kicked off with Ameriican Requiem followed by a cover of The Beatles classic Blackbird. Yet in the final segment of proceedings, and after an appearance from her daughter Blue Ivy and the track Legacy playing out on tape, things turned sour. During her performance of 16 Carriages, Bey hopped into a red car which was then suspended into the air. She pulled on a silver cowboy hat and waved an American flag for her in-air adventures, yet was forced to halt the song as the vehicle leaned dangerously to one side. The If I Were A Boy vocalist then paused her lyrics to shout: "Stop. Stop, stop, stop." The crowd paused in anticipation before bursting into cheers as the vehicle - attached to a series of cables - was brought down to solid ground. Like a pro, Beyonce continued the song then told her adoring fans: "I wanna thank y'all, for loving me. "If ever I fall, I know y'all will catch me." The Sun has gone to Beyonce's reps for comment. As the incident unfolded, fans expressed their fears on X. Blue Ivy looks IDENTICAL to mom Beyonce as she arrives in Paris with dad Jay-Z One wrote: "The fact that Beyoncé almost fell out that car suspended in the air…. Yo I would've lost my s**t!" A second put: "I KNEWWWWW that car was gonna do some s**t one concert omg so happy she's okay tho." A third mused: "Whoever messed up #beyonce car set up is getting fired from a CANNON." Another remarked: "We could have lost @Beyonce tonight if that car that she was in would have fell on stage, thank god that she is safe." One then pleaded: "BEYONCÉ! No More Car I Mean It." Overall, Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour has been a visual extravaganza for her fans, showcasing the star in an array of outfits, performing with her daughters and even grinding on a bull. She has also floated over the crowds while perched in a moving horse shoe. She is then expected to follow up the project - which kicked off in Los Angeles in April - with another album next year, after announcing that Renaissance and Cowboy Carter were part of a trilogy. On her website in 2022, she confirmed: 'This three-act project was recorded over three years during the pandemic. 'A time to be still, but also a time I found to be the most creative.' TOUR TEASE During Beyonce's Cowboy Carter UK tour dates, the star appeared to drop a huge clue she was considering re-locating. It came as she was allegedly seen viewing land in the Cotswolds countryside with rapper husband Jay-Z, 55. Beyonce reportedly took a helicopter ride with her spouse, with whom she shares three kids, to get a better look at the Oxfordshire pile. The land supposedly spanned 58 acres and a source told The Oxford Mail: "In the past week, Beyonce and Jay-Z flew via helicopter between her London gigs to view a 58-acre plot of land. "Located close to friends Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, and with Simon Cowell and the Beckhams as neighbours, she felt it would be an ideal UK home for her family, away from the city when they're in the country." 7 7 7

T.J. Puchyr agrees to buy Rick Ware Racing with plans to build a 3-car NASCAR team
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — One of the founders of Spire Motorsports has entered an agreement to purchase the NASCAR team owned by Rick Ware and is jumping back into the stock car series because he believes the current charters are grossly undervalued. T.J. Puchyr, who in 2018 alongside Jeff Dickerson launched the Spire team to take over the charter that Furniture Row Racing could not unload, told The Associated Press on Thursday he and Rick Ware Racing have a deal for him to take over Ware's organization next season. When Puchyr and Dickerson bought the Furniture Row charter, the market for NASCAR's version of franchise models was essentially dead. Their agency had been hired by Furniture Row owner Barney Visser to sell the charter and when they couldn't find a buyer, the two decided to purchase it themselves for $6 million and launch their own team. That decision jump-started the charter market and the most recent charters sold — when Stewart-Haas Racing went out of business at the end of last season — went for approximately $30 million. Puchyr and Dickerson are largely credited with pumping life and value into an otherwise dormant charter system. Puchyr last year sold his shares of Spire to Dan Towriss, the CEO of TWG Motorsports and head of the new Cadillac F1 team. Puchyr has spent 2025 consulting with various teams, including RWR and Legacy Motor Club. He's watched the market closely and has attended several of the recent court hearings involving NASCAR against 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, who have filed an antitrust lawsuit over the charter agreement those two teams refused to sign last September. There are only 36 Cup Series charters, which guarantee a team entry into every NASCAR race and a steady revenue stream. Puchyr believes they are greatly undervalued and in one of his final deals with Spire, he helped acquire a charter from Live Fast Motorsports for $40 million. 'I am bullish on wanting to build a three-car team. I believe in the France family and the direction of the sport and I want the rest of the shareholders and industry to know that I believe the charters are worth $75 million or more,' he told AP. What about Ware's second charter? In his deal with Ware, Puchyr will keep Ware on board as a partner, also keep Ware's son, Cody, in the No. 51 Ford, and retain all of the current RWR employees. Ware's current second charter is leased to RFK Racing, but Legacy Motor Club made a legal claim that it had entered an agreement to buy that charter next season. A judge did not agree with Legacy, and said Ware has a lease deal with RFK for 2026 on a second charter. Puchyr believes none of the parties can perform to the Legacy-RWR contract — which he said was written by Legacy — and there is no charter available from Ware for Legacy for either lease or purchase in 2026. Ware has filed a countersuit against Legacy. Legacy, a two-car Cup team, is currently owned by seven-time NASCAR champion and Hall of Famer Jimmie Johnson. He has recently taken on partnership from private equity firm Knighthead Capital Management, which alongside Johnson is exploring expansion into several other motorsports series. 'If anybody deserves a pass it is Jimmie and if he wants to sit down and talk about it like men, I'd entertain the conversation,' said Puchyr, who was offended that Legacy sued Ware. 'I don't think Jimmie has all the facts, doesn't understand the deal we had, and they tried to humiliate Rick publicly. We don't do business that way.' Now, Puchyr and Ware are confident the second charter currently leased to RFK will be returned to their team in 2027, allowing Puchyr to expand the organization. He wants to buy a third charter that makes the organization a three-car Cup team by 2027. Can Puchyr build a winning team? Ware has done the second-most charter transactions in the industry only to Spire and at one point held four. Now he's trying to rebuild his organization and win races with his son as the driver, something Puchyr wants to help him achieve. 'I've won at everything I've done at every level and I think we can compete with these guys,' Puchyr said. 'I think we can build it brick-by-brick and it's going to take people, money and time. It's not lost on me that (RWR) is the 36th-place car in the garage, we all see it. But I believe we can make this a competitive organization, even a winner. 'And I believe we can get these charters valued at their true worth.' Ware fields winning organizations in other motorsports series, including NHRA with Clay Millican. A Ware-owned team won the 2024 American Flat Track championship, the 2022 FIM World Supercross Championship and the 2019-2020 Asian Le Mans Series prototype title. Puchyr did not reveal to the AP how much he's paying for Ware's organization, which technically only holds the charter for Cody Ware's car this season and runs Corey Lajoie in a second 'open' car in select races. Once it gets its leased charter back from RFK in 2027, the team will have at least two cars with the focus on purchasing a third. Purchasing charters is not easy at this time as multiple teams have interest but lack the monetary funds to buy them at the ever-increasing rates. Among them is Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr., who has not been able to get his hands on charters to take his Xfinity Series team to NASCAR's top Cup Series level.
