"NASCAR Assumes Management of Bowman Gray Stadium Racing Operations"

NASCAR has acquired the lease to manage racing operations at Bowman Gray Stadium, a historic track with deep ties to the organization. The lease runs through December 2050, and NASCAR plans to continue the track's legacy while potentially making small improvements. The venue, known for its confined racing surface and full-contact racing, has a rich history and draws robust crowds. While no immediate significant changes are planned, NASCAR's acquisition solidifies the track's future, and there's potential for it to host a Cup, Xfinity, or Truck race in the future.

"Street Takeover at Food Lion Draws Spectators for Fiery Burnouts"

Shocking footage shows a ring of fire being made during a 'street takeover' at a Winston-Salem Food Lion. Law enforcement was "caught off guard" on Friday but was ready and shut it down quickly on Saturday. The fire was created with lighter fluid and put out quickly. Many people were detained, but no one has been charged at this time. Street takeovers involve "flash mobs" of hundreds of spectators and several cars that arrive in a coordinated manner at specific intersections, or even interstates, and blocking traffic to speed and show off dangerous stunts like drifting.
