Share this: Danny Ainge continues to build his war chest of NBA draft picks. The Boston Celtics president of basketball operations reportedly agreed to trade the No. 1 overall selection in the 2017 NBA Draft to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for the No. 3 overall pick in the 2017 draft, and a 2018 first-round pick from the Los Angeles Lakers with protections.

NASCAR Fan Wakes Up After Race, Discovers Family Left Her At Track
Share this: If you’ve ever been to a NASCAR race, you know how easy it is to accidentally leave something at the track. Like a cooler. Or a pair of sunglasses. Or a relative. That’s the fate that reportedly befell Jody Nash, a fan who attended Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 with family only to wake up Monday to discover they’d all left, according to WBTV. “When she woke up, her friends were gone,” WBTV reporter Steve Ohnesorge says in a voiceover. Nash seemed to take it all in stride, toting around a Bud Light and remaining optimistic that someone would come back for her. “Hey mom, I’m OK,” Nash told WBTV. “I’m still here in Turn 2. … Will y’all come get me?” Apparently, Nash was found while
Vermont Governor’s Season Racing Debut Goes Off Track, Ends In Ditch
Share this: Phill Scott’s race for Vermont governor ended in victory lane. His season racing debut at Thunder Road International SpeedBowl, though, ended in a ditch. With just a few laps to go in the 55th Memorial Day Classic in Barre, Vt., Scott’s No. 14 Late Model stock car was bumped by another car, then scraped the wall and went off track, WCAX-TV reports. The Vermont governor actually was running P2 at the time of the wreck, which ended his day. [embedded content] He reportedly wasn’t injured in the crash, which banged up what was a pretty good looking car. Scott is the United States’ only sitting governor to race stock cars, according to WCAX-TV. More Stories Source link
Graco Recalling 25,000 Car Seats That Might Not Protect Children In Crashes
Share this: You might want to think twice before you strap your child into a car seat. Graco Children’s products is recalling more than 25,000 child car seats, according to documents posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Wednesday, via the Associated Press.

Oil Spill At Motorcyle Race Sends 13 Riders Flying In Massive Wreck
Share this: In addition to being wildly entertaining, Grand Prix motorcycle racing also is wildly dangerous. Both of those qualities were on full display in France on Sunday.

Despite the carnage, no one suffered any serious injuries. An up-close view of the wreck shows just how dangerous it was: [embedded content] All but one driver returned to the race, which reportedly was shortened to just 16 laps laps after crews cleaned up the mess.
