Richard Blair, from Arizona, thought he'd found a promising digital asset when he bought Lambo.com for $10,000 in 2018. Lambo is a well known nickname for a Lamborghini and so has a certain cachet. In a bid for legitimacy, after buying the domain Blair started calling himself "Lambo" online. He said it came from a word play on Lamb and had absolutely nothing to do with the well known sports car maker. He directed Lambo.com to a personal site where Road & Track says he posted, "I AM LAMBO of LAMBO.com and I will defend, defeat…...

54+ min ago (808+ words) Dec 9, 2025 | 5:18 PM EST For years, the Red Bull driver programme lifted Yuki Tsunoda up the ladder and then, in the space of a single season, dropped him straight through the trapdoor. His dream shot alongside Max Verstappen turned into a cold reminder of how ruthless the system can be, and just as Tsunoda was pushed out of a race seat for 2026, the man who believed in him most, Helmut Marko, walked out the door too. Suddenly, the biggest question isn't why Tsunoda lost the seat, it's whether Marko's departure makes his road back to F1 tougher" or just opened a new one. What pushed him out of the seat in the first place was no mystery. The reasons behind the call weren't exactly subtle. Stacked against Verstappen, Tsunoda simply couldn't keep up. Moreover, Hadjar proved to be a more promising driver,…...

1+ hour, 20+ min ago (369+ words) (L-R): Lonny Powell, David Richardson, Mark Simendinger, Jon Moss, and Damon Thayer speak during a panel at the Global Symposium on Racing Speaking Dec. 9 at the Global Symposium on Racing in Tucson, Ariz., a'Florida Thoroughbred Breeders' and Owners' Association executive revealed that a long-held nonprofit license in Ocala could be used to develop a new racetrack to support Florida's beleaguered Thoroughbred industry. Decoupling refers to removing the statutory requirement that a track conduct live racing to retain its gaming license. Florida's earlier decoupling of greyhound, Quarter Horse, and Standardbred racing from gaming contributed to the collapse of those sports in the state. Gaming is more profitable for operators than racing. The initiative to decoupled Thoroughbred racing was defeated in the Florida legislature last year, but the fight is expected to be renewed when legislators reconvene next month. Regardless of last…...

1+ hour, 24+ min ago (574+ words) Dec 9, 2025 | 4:49 PM EST Claim under review: A viral Facebook post and a copycat website article say Bubba Wallace has announced he is leaving NASCAR (or retiring) amid the ongoing charter/antitrust drama. Verdict: False / Misleading. There is no credible evidence that Bubba Wallace has announced he is leaving NASCAR. The reports originate from dubious Facebook posts and a low-quality website; major outlets and Wallace's team show no such announcement. The pages spreading the claim do not link to any verified press conference, team release, or post from Wallace's official social accounts. That is an immediate red flag for a story about a high-profile athlete. No official announcement from Bubba Wallace or 23XI Racing. Wallace's X (formerly Twitter) account and 23XI Racing's official channels show no statement that he is leaving or retiring. Athletes and teams typically announce moves and retirements first on…...

1+ hour, 28+ min ago (703+ words) Dec 9, 2025 | 4:44 PM EST For years, NASCAR hasn't just been battling TV ratings, the economy, rule changes, or manufacturer shifts. Quietly, there's been another pressure point building at the edges of the sport: competition. Not the kind that happens on the racetrack, but the one that takes place in the marketplace of attention. When former Cup Series champion Tony Stewart launched the Superstar Racing Experience in 2021, most fans saw it as a fun, nostalgia-driven summer series. Short tracks, short races, legends racing alongside young talent, it had the energy of old-school Saturday night racing mixed with modern TV polish. But inside NASCAR headquarters, the tone was different. SRX wasn't just another series. It wasn't small-time. It had big sponsors, major broadcast backing from CBS, and, most importantly, star power that NASCAR no longer controlled. For NASCAR leadership, SRX wasn't competition in…...
