COOPERS PLAINS, N.Y. (WETM) — People traveling to Coopers Plains on Tuesday may want to figure out a different route. The New York Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) announced that the on-ramp at the Coopers Plains exit will be temporarily closed due to work being done on the bridge.

On a Search for an Old E.V., Jay Leno's Car Obsession Came Up Clutch
Times Insider explains who we are and what we do and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together. As an energy reporter on the Business desk of The New York Times, I often cover the transition to electrify the world around us, including automobiles and heating and cooling systems. But until I spoke with the historian at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, I did not know that electric cars rattled down city streets as far back as the mid-1890s. A century ago, roughly a third of taxi drivers in New York City shuttled passengers around in electric cars. I set out to write an article about these cars, and a time before lawmakers gave deference to the oil industry by offering numerous tax breaks, paving the way for gasoline-powered vehicles. But finding an original E.V. that I could ride in proved difficult. Most of them sit in museums and personal collections. Enter the comedian — and car collector — Jay Leno. My editor suggested I reach out to Mr. Leno after learning about his 1909 Baker Electric, housed in his famous garage. Mr. Leno's team gave an enthusiastic 'Yes' in reply. When I arrived at his warehouse garage in Burbank, Calif., in April, Mr. Leno had his Baker Electric charged and ready to hit the streets. The 116-year-old car, which had been refurbished, looked like it had just rolled off the showroom floor. Still, the wooden high-top body, 36-inch rubber wheels and Victorian-style upholstery whispered the car's age. It was basically a carriage with batteries, enabling drivers to free horses from their bits and harnesses. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Ram's 'Symbol of Protest' Badge for Hemi V-8s Is Ridiculous and Genius
It's official: the Hemi is back. Ram announced today the 5.7-liter V-8 will return unchanged, an available option for the 1500 pickup in the 2026 model year, with order books open now. Every new Ram equipped with a Hemi will receive a badge on the front fenders, dubbed the "Symbol of Protest." Created by the Ram design team, the Symbol of Protest badge isn't a raised fist, a peace sign, or anarchist "circle-A," but rather a ram's head affixed to the front of a Hemi engine block, complete with individual straight-pipe exhaust tubes. Photo by: Ram What, exactly, does having a V-8 in your Ram truck protest against, aside from the company's own line of more economical straight-sixes? We're not exactly sure. If we had to guess, Ram is defending consumers' right to choose to have eight cylinders under the hood, whether that be to stick it to the man or just because they prefer the easy torque and rumbling sound of a Hemi. There are many obvious connections to draw between the "Symbol of Protest" and today's charged political climate. But one thing also is clear: the badge is a smart marketing play that comes at the right time, promoting a product that people are actually asking for. Ram knows this and is leaning into the moment. The brand told media it plans to plaster the Ram-headed V-8 everywhere in promotional materials. You'll even be able to ride the symbol itself at an upcoming NASCAR race in Michigan, mechanical bull-style. Winners who stay on long enough win t-shirts. If this all sounds like a bit much for an engine that returns unchanged after being absent for just one model year, it is. The strategy of declaring something dead, then bringing it back after a year just for a big boost in support is a proven one, though. So we don't blame Ram for doing it.

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.
