60 days until the Texans' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 60?
The Houston Texans are less than 100 days away from kicking off the 2025 season in Los Angeles against the Rams at SoFi Stadium and we're counting down the days until a victory ensues on the west coast. Texans Wire will each day tell you which player has worn the number of the day leading up to kickoff and pick the player who ensured the number best during their time at NRG Stadium. As for today, let's take a look at who has won No. 60 since the inaugural season in 2002. Texans players to wear No. 60 No. 60 currently belongs to new center Jake Andrews, who was claimed off waivers this offseason from New England. A former All-Sun Belt star at Troy University, one of the key reasons for adding Andrews was his previous work under offensive line coach Cole Popovich. He's been working with the starters since OTAs began last month and will have a clear advantage over Jarrett Patterson and Juice Scruggs because of his previous work with Popovich. This doesn't mean Andrews will win the starting center job, but he's looked the part through several early drills and might have the best footwork of all the newcomers added this offseason. Time will tell if the offensive line features Andrews working with the starters or serving as one of the better backups against the Los Angeles Rams. Since Andrews is new, he can't be the best player to wear No. 60 for the Texans. Let's look back at who has worn the No. 60 in recent memory to sort out the G.O.A.T. for an offensive lineman. Best Player: Ben Jones While Jones is better known for his time with the Tennessee Titans, he was a part of two playoff rosters and an anchor in the transition from Gary Kubiak to Bill O'Brien. He started 10 games as a rookie and then all 16 games in both 2014 and 2015. The offense live remained one of the stronger parts in 2014 after earning the No. 1 pick, helping Houston finish with a 9-7 record. The following year, Houston returned to the postseason as the AFC South champs. Jones that season only allowed three pressures and two sacks. In the offseason, he left for Nashville. Still, for his four seasons in Houston, he won more games than most linemen, so that has to count for something.

Details of Legacy MC agreement to purchase charter from Rick Ware Racing revealed in court
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A North Carolina Superior Court judge denied a preliminary injunction Wednesday that Legacy Motor Club sought to keep Rick Ware Racing from possibly selling the charter that Legacy MC states it purchased. The hearing, scheduled for one hour, lasted nearly three hours before Judge Clifton H. Smith. At issue is what charter Legacy MC purchased from Rick Ware Racing and when they would have access to it. Among details revealed in court: Judge Smith noted that Legacy MC purchased a charter from Rick Ware Racing for 'roughly $45 million.' That makes it the highest price for a charter. The agreement calls for Rick Ware Racing to sell Charter No. 36 (currently used by the No. 51 car of Cody Ware). However, Legacy MC's attorney noted that the wording in the contract described the charter to be purchased as Charter 27, which also is owned by Rick Ware Racing but is being leased to RFK Racing this year for the No. 60 car of Ryan Preece. An attorney for Rick Ware Racing said two weeks after the agreement was signed the two sides met at Las Vegas where Legacy MC offered to pay RWR $5 million more to purchase Charter 27 so it could have three chartered cars next season. It was also noted in court that RFK Racing has an agreement with Rick Ware Racing to lease Charter 36 (the one being used by Cody Ware this year) next season. Teams are allowed to lease a charter once every seven years. Dustin Long, A key issue Wednesday in court was the contract and the confusion created by it. Keith Forst, an attorney who represented Legacy MC, said in court that the wrong charter number in the agreement was a result of what Rick Ware told the attorney writing the contract. Robert Marcus, attorney for Rick Ware Racing, said in court that Ware always intended to sell Charter 36 (being used by Cody Ware this season in the No. 51) and didn't intend to sell the charter used by RFK Racing. 'I don't think this contract makes any sense,' Marcus said in court ' … It's chalk full of mistakes.' Forst said the contract suggests otherwise. 'It is crystal clear that this purchase agreement covers (Charter) 27 and not 36, not withstanding the misidentification of the number,' Forst said in court. '… We wanted the charter that is being currently leased (Charter 27).' Marcus went through a timeline in the court of key moments in the deal. He stated that a text on March 3 shows Ware's understanding that the contract is for Charter 36 and that the deal was signed. He stated that on March 4, Legacy MC went to NASCAR to inform officials they had an agreement to purchase a charter. Marcus said in court that 'on March 4, they knew that Charter 36 is the charter that was meant to be used by RFK Racing next year.' He noted the March 15 meeting in Las Vegas when Legacy MC upped its offer by $5 million to get Charter 27 to race it next year Marcus said that 'selling Charter 27 puts Rick Ware Racing out of business,' noting that it would leave RWR without a charter for next season since there is an agreement with RFK Racing for it to lease Charter 36 next season. The two sides were in court Wednesday because Legacy MC had a temporary restraining order granted but wanted to make it a preliminary injunction to ensure that Rick Ware Racing didn't sell Charter 27 elsewhere. After the judge's decision, Ware said in a statement: 'RWR is gratified by the Court's decision in this case. It's good to be vindicated.' Cal Wells, CEO of Legacy Motor Club, who was in the courtroom, said of Wednesday's decision: 'Part of the journey.'

Ryan Preece, Joey Logano DQd after top-5 finishes
April 28 - As the checkered flag dropped at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday, Ryan Preece crossed the line in a career-best second place, half a car length behind race winner Austin Cindric. A few hours later, Preece was sitting in 38th place in the official race results. Preece and defending Cup Series champion Joey Logano were disqualified from the Jack Link's 500 after their cars failed post-race inspection -- specifically, NASCAR found technical violations in the rear spoilers. That dropped Preece's No. 60 Ford to 38th place and Logano's No. 22 Ford into 39th, last place. Logano crossed the finish line in fifth place. According to a NASCAR report, officials found "unapproved shims in the rear spoiler area." Logano's car violated rules relating to spoiler braces used during superspeedway races, per the report. "The No. 22 Team Penske Ford Mustang was disqualified following post-race inspection at Talladega today," Team Penske said in a statement. "One of the 18 bolts on the surface of the spoiler that connect to the base was found to be loose, and NASCAR penalized the team as a result. This was not intentional and happened throughout the course of the race event. Team Penske accepts the disqualification." Cindric picked up his first win of the season as Fords originally had four cars finish in the top 6. NASCAR also announced the No. 5 of Kyle Larson (who moved up to second after the DQs) and the 21 of Josh Berry (26th place) would undergo additional inspection this week at the NASCAR Research & Development Center in Concord, N.C.
