The Speedway, located at 7985 Frazeysburg Road in Dresden, has been a community staple for years.
'The Muskingum County Speedway has been a pillar in this community for years,' Bruce Tague, executive director of Ohio Natural Energy Institute, said in the release. 'We're thrilled to kick off the season under the lights — supporting a legacy of speed, skill, and community that mirrors the energy driving our industry forward.'

The two sons of local racing legend Donnie Moran were carrying on the family legacy in dirt track racing, with Devin driving and Wylie serving as crew chief.
Late owner to be honored
The event will also honor the late Ronnie Moran, a longtime owner and promoter of the Speedway, who passed away last year. Moran was a self-employed oil well driller and a supporter of the industry. His son, Donnie, and grandson, Tristin, the current owners and promoters of the track, will host a memorial race for Ronnie later this year, also presented by ONEi.

'Dad loved racing and was able to support our family's passion through the oil and gas industry,' Donnie Moran said in the release. 'Partnering with Ohio Natural Energy Institute for opening night feels as though we are not only supporting the industry that lifts our community, but also honoring dad.'
General admission opens at 4 p.m., with hot laps at 5 p.m. and races starting at 6 p.m.

Google's Gemini chatbot can now more easily analyze GitHub projects
Gemini, Google's AI-powered chatbot, can now connect to GitHub — for users subscribed to the $20-per-month Gemini Advanced plan, that is. As of Wednesday, Gemini Advanced customers can directly add a public or private codebase on GitHub to Gemini to allow the chatbot to generate and explain code, debug existing code, and more. Users can connect GitHub to Gemini by clicking the "+" button in the prompt bar, selecting "import code," and pasting a GitHub URL. A word of warning: AI models, including Google's, still struggle to code quality software. Code-generating AI tends to introduce security vulnerabilities and errors, owing to weaknesses in areas like the ability to understand programming logic. One recent evaluation of Devin, a popular AI coding tool, found that it could only complete three out of 20 programming tests. The new GitHub integration arrives just a few days after OpenAI launched a GitHub connector for ChatGPT deep research, a tool that searches across the web and other sources to compile thorough research reports on a topic. AI companies, including Google and OpenAI, are moving quickly to ship new capabilities in an effort to make their products stand out in an increasingly crowded field. Case in point, OpenAI on Tuesday brought SharePoint and Microsoft OneDrive connectors to ChatGPT deep research.

Son of NFL legend will officially visit Notre Dame with a commitment date in early July
Son of NFL legend will officially visit Notre Dame with a commitment date in early July There is a big family feel with Notre Dame football, and although NFL legend Larry Fitzgerald didn't play for the Irish, he sure seems like he's part of it. He's spoken with the team, and now his son Devin, is a Notre Dame recruit. It is going well on that end, as the Arizona wide receiver has now scheduled an official visit to see South Bend according to Steezo Designs on social media. The 6-foot, 2-inch and 195-pounder will also take trips to see UCLA, Clemson, Stanford, North Carolina and Arizona State, and while he's made it known that those aren't his top schools, you have to believe that they are the ones that have the best chance at landing him. Devin is ranked as the No. 481 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, and would be a solid pick-up for any team that ultimately lands him. Hopefully that team is Notre Dame, as getting the Fitzgerald family officially as part of the Irish one, would be a big boost.
