MotoGP Experiences Exponential Growth In America
AUSTIN, TX - MARCH 30: Marco Bezzecchi (72) of Italy and Aprilia Racing leads a pack of riders up ... More the hill into turn one during the MotoGP Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas on March 30. 2025, at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas. (Photo by David Buono/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) MotoGP is growing at a rapid pace in America after Dorna Sports inked a deal with Fox Sports. MotoGP, a global phenomenon, is experiencing a 53% year-after-year growth in its American broadcast viewership. Brothers Alex and Marc Marquez have taken the world by storm, dominating MotoGP in a rare show of force from a pair of brothers competing in the same series. Marc currently leads Alex in the standings, providing a nice family touch to a growing sport. The Americas GP Sprint at Circuit of the Americas averaged 66.1K viewers on FS2, up 30% from the Argentina GP on FS1 and 86% over last season's Sprint average. The Americas GP race drew 122.9K viewers on FS1, up 24% from the Argentina GP on FS2 and 259% over last season's GP average. The growth is not surprising, as the NTT IndyCar Series' debut year on Fox is also seeing a surge in the open-wheel division's audience, as well. "We know we have a responsibility to build this sport here, because there is such a there's a very, very significant core fan base that we want to expand, but we also have to serve that existing fan base as well," MotoGP CCO Dan Rossomondo said. But the partnership with Fox is what truly has MotoGP officials and its fans excited about the sport's trajectory. The two-year deal enables some stability for the series, along with an opportunity for new fans to be introduced to it. 'We're going to get some new people trialing our sport, and I think once you trial it, you'll love it,' Rossomondo said. MotoGP is unique amongst motor sports, as its races are only 45 minutes long. It easily fits into an hour-long TV slot, and it's perfect for fans in an era when no one can sit still for several hours. Similar to Formula 1, because it is an international series, MotoGP's races often air at crazy hours in America. On the east coast, that could mean an 8 a.m. event on Sunday mornings or 5 a.m. on the west coast. 'We don't want to just rely on the 22 races that we have this year,' Rossomondo said. The growth for MotoGP should only continue, as Liberty Media will fully take over the majority control of the series. The move will only further align MotoGP with an international flare. And in America, Trackhouse Racing, owned by Justin Marks, started a MotoGP team to branch out his team. With riders Raúl Fernández and Ai Ogura, sitting 18th and 12th in the standings, respectively, America's presence in the sport is growing. 'To me, the biggest thing that Justin brings is just a fresh eye on the sport,' Rossomondo said of Marks, who owns a Nascar team. 'It takes a long time to get acclimated inside of our paddock, and he's got a lot of things going on. But he really just brings a new perspective, and it's a fresh perspective and he's always asking the right questions.' In addition to the Fox deal, MotoGP struck another deal with a major American firm. Harley-Davidson formed a new Harley-Davidson championship series that will launch next year. The 12-race series will compete during six Grand Prix, with six to eight teams. 'We want to get more eyeballs on us in the United States, and that was the kind of combination we made,' Rossomondo said of the partnership. We're going to build out a garage for them that's going to be a unique area inside our fan zone. We're going to build out different and it's going to look different than our paddock." MotoGP will compete this weekend with the GoPro Grand Prix of Aragon.

Marshals say 'Devil in the Ozarks' who escaped Arkansas prison has likely fled state
Investigators believe that a convicted murderer and former police chief known as the 'Devil in the Ozark s' has likely fled Arkansas after escaping from prison last month, a federal court filing released this week shows. A criminal complaint filed in federal court in Little Rock against Grant Hardin, who escaped prison last month, was released this week. Authorities have said Hardin escaped the Calico Rock prison in Arkansas by donning an outfit designed to look like a law enforcement uniform. In the complaint, Deputy U.S. Marshal Robert J. Hammons cites two previously publicized unconfirmed sightings of Hardin — one in central Arkansas and another in southern Missouri. 'Based on this information, investigators believe Hardin has fled the state of Arkansas to avoid recapture,' the filing said. 'He has extensive knowledge of the Ozark Mountain region, where he is believed to be possibly hiding in caves or rugged terrain that he is familiar with.' The complaint, first reported by The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette , does not detail any other sightings of Hardin or evidence of him fleeing the state. Arkansas authorities have previously said they're focusing on north-central Arkansas and tips of sightings elsewhere so far have not panned out. Hardin, a former police chief in the small town of Gateway near the Arkansas-Missouri border, was serving lengthy sentences for murder and rape . He was the subject of the TV documentary 'Devil in the Ozarks.' Hardin was housed in a maximum-security wing of the primarily medium security prison, formally known as the North Central Unit. Officials are investigating whether a job Hardin held in the kitchen helped in his escape, including whether it gave him access to materials he could have used to fashion his makeshift uniform. The Arkansas Department of Corrections this week released a new photo rendering of Hardin, depicting what he may look like now.

Why we must change our attitude toward 'old' buildings
I've witnessed firsthand how attitudes toward existing buildings in need of a second life have evolved over the years. What were once considered blighted properties—or more mildly put, 'outdated buildings'—were met with wrecking balls. How we approach older structures now, not as burdens or obstacles, but as valuable assets that contribute meaningfully to a community's character and future, is a total transformation in the public's perception. This mindset shift reflects a broader recognition that the past is not something to be discarded, but to be celebrated, preserved, and reinvigorated. One of the most compelling aspects of adaptive reuse is the way it engages with a community's emotional and historical connections to its built environment. Over the years, I've seen that people develop deep affinities for the buildings that are part of their lives—whether because of personal memories, cultural significance, or their role in the daily rhythms of a neighborhood. However, while the emotional attachment to these buildings remains strong, their usefulness can atrophy over time. The infrastructure may age, and the original purpose of a building may no longer align with contemporary needs. In these cases, adaptive reuse becomes a bridge, a way to honor a structure's legacy while giving it new life. The balancing act It's a delicate balancing act between preservation and innovation, and it's a process that excites me—because it offers the opportunity to not only preserve the past but also activate it in a dynamic and forward-thinking way. My architecture firm recently transformed a 1930s-era Sears department store into a mixed-use block including more than 200 new apartments, as well as 50,000 square-feet of retail space. By combining housing and shopping, we create greater density, purpose, and connectivity, which enlivens cities like Chicago, where this project is located. By repurposing old buildings, we also retain a sense of continuity—an important link between generations. It's a strategy that works best when integrated into a broader urban plan. Sometimes, an existing structure may not reach its full potential until it is complemented by new projects that bring additional vibrancy and utility to the area. In this way, the new and the old coexist, enhancing each other and helping to create a richer, more complex urban fabric. Retaining an existing building can also reduce the embodied carbon footprint of an entire project. Ultimately, adaptive reuse is a key strategy for creating sustainable and community-centered development. It aligns with a growing recognition that buildings are more than just physical structures—they are symbols of history, identity, and shared experience. By embracing the creative potential of these spaces, we not only preserve their legacy but also provide the foundation for future generations to build upon. This holistic approach to development is essential for fostering resilient communities that honor their past while looking ahead to the future.
