NASCAR's Alex Bowman will drive an Unrivaled-themed paint scheme at Homestead
Unrivaled is hitting the race track.
The women's 3×3 basketball league is partnering with NASCAR driver Alex Bowman to promote and unveil an Unrivaled-themed paint scheme on March 23 during a NASCAR Cup Series race at Homestead. The league's inaugural season ends March 17, but Unrivaled hopes to continue the excitement around its debut and women's sports after the season.
'I hope NASCAR fans are going to be curious,' Unrivaled co-founder Breanna Stewart recently said. 'I hope they're going to be like, 'What is this? Why is the car this color? What's Unrivaled?' And then just be able to educate themselves on what we had just finished.'
Bowman's No. 48 car will have a gradient color scheme that incorporates the league's brand and includes several easter eggs that pay homage to Unrivaled. Here's video of Stewie, Marina Mabrey and DiJonai Carrington previewing the car down in Florida:

Kentucky Bigfoot calling contest is a scream
STANTON, Ky. (FOX 56) — Music, food, and crafts at a recent festival in Stanton brought people out of the woodwork. It was also hoped the event would bring a creature out of the woods. 'If you talk about Bigfoot in certain circles, you're going to get laughed at,' said Steve Lindsey, one of the hosts of the Kentucky-based 'News Worthy??' podcast. 'Everybody is either here because they believe or they want to believe.' Kentucky Bigfoot calling contest is a scream Louisville's Cave Hill Cemetery: A final resting place full of history and mystery A ferry is still a loved way to cross the Kentucky River The first-ever Bigfoot Festival celebrated that there have been dozens of reports of the legendary creature in the nearby Red River Gorge. The cryptid would have been welcome at the festival, so much so that dozens of people lined up to call for him in a contest that was a real scream. No words can describe the variety of yells, whoops, and whistles performed by the crowd. Charlie Raymond, founder of the Kentucky Bigfoot Research Organization, leads local hunts for the creature. He was the perfect person to judge the contest, because he believes he's heard the real thing. 'You could tell some of them have done their homework,' he said. He said whoops and guttural growls are closer to the real thing.

The crowd in the audience roared in approval. 'I can do long laughs and stuff and make a bunch of weird noises, so I just kind of knew what I would do,' Tennison said. Bigfoot didn't answer the call at this festival, but the creature sure has a fan club in these parts. You have to believe that if he ever comes out of hiding, he'd want to make tracks here. 'We were taken aback by how many people were excited about Bigfoot and Bigfoot calling. It was a successful event,' Raymond said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Study: Rising bonnet heights in Europe raise risks for pedestrians
The rising popularity of larger cars such as SUVs in Europe is driving up the height of car bonnets, raising concerns about road safety - especially for children - according to a report by the European Federation for Transport and Environment (T&E). Higher front ends reduce drivers' ability to see small children directly in front of the vehicle, the Brussels-based NGO warned. In accidents, SUVs and pick-up trucks tend to hit adult pedestrians above the centre of gravity, often impacting vital organs and increasing the likelihood that victims are thrown forward and run over. In contrast, smaller cars strike lower on the body, making it more likely that pedestrians fall onto the bonnet and roll off to the side, improving chances of survival. The average bonnet height in the European Union and United Kingdom has increased by 0.5 centimetres annually since 2010, reaching 83.4 centimetres in 2024, T&E said. Nearly half of all newly registered vehicles now have bonnet heights exceeding 85 centimetres. A cited study based on Belgian data found that raising bonnet height from 80 to 90 centimetres increases the risk of death for pedestrians and cyclists in case of an accident by more than 25%. The growing heights of bonnets is mainly due to the increasing popularity of SUVs and off-road vehicles. These two segments accounted for more than 40% of all new registrations in Germany last year, according to the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). As of January 1 this year, approximately 6.6 million SUVs were registered in Germany, a nearly 10% annual increase. SUVs now make up more than 13% of all cars registered in Germany. German experts say larger vehicles offer better protection for occupants, but increase injury risks for others due to their mass and shape. However, the German Insurers Accident Research group (UDV) urged caution in interpreting the findings. While bonnet height can be a risk factor, injury severity also depends on speed, vehicle design, and use of driver-assistance systems, it said.
