Two years ago, before Kenseth “took some time off” from NASCAR racing and spent the 2019 season in quasi-retirement, that might not have been an issue. Now, with the rules package NASCAR has been running in the Cup Series at tracks like Kansas since last year, Kenseth knows a deeper spot in the field means he won’t be able to adequately gauge what his car needs to improve. “As you get farther and farther back in the pack, I think no matter how good a driver you are, unless your car is just way, way superior — which it’s very hard to get that big of an advantage — it’s just very difficult to pass and work your way through the field,” Kenseth, 48, told Sporting News during a Tuesday phone interview....

Mikko Rantanen is a star in the making as well for the Avalanche....

The complainers are not always wrong, but they exaggerate how much their alleged “betters” are even thinking about them. When they do, they’re more likely scratching their heads in bewilderment rather than looking downward. They see whiners swimming in self-pity.

Not only do Democratic parts of the country support such programs; their richer residents pay for them....
