Kelly Drive to be closed nightly in Philadelphia for nearly entire month of August
PennDOT will be closing the road in sections beginning Aug. 4 through Aug. 29. Each night, a portion of Kelly Drive will be closed from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
One section is between Ridge Avenue and Fountain Green Drive. When this section is closed, drivers will be detoured to Ridge Avenue, 33rd Street, Diamond Drive and Fountain Green Drive.
The other section is between Reservoir Drive and 25th Street. When this section is closed, drivers will be detoured to Reservoir Drive/Strawberry Mansion Drive, Diamond Drive, 33rd Street, Girard Avenue, 29th Street, Pennsylvania Avenue, and 25th Street.
The work being performed is weather-dependent. Anyone driving on Kelly Drive near the work areas should allow extra time, because this will likely cause traffic backups and delays.

Shane van Gisbergen Makes Decision For 2026 NASCAR Season
Shane van Gisbergen Makes Decision For 2026 NASCAR Season originally appeared on The Spun. Shane van Gisbergen's first year as a full-time driver in the NASCAR Cup Series has been nothing short of a resounding success. He's won three of his last eight races and has already qualified for the NASCAR Cup Playoffs in his first full season. But what does the future have in store for the 36-year-old rookie? He's competed in many different circuits and won races or championships in just about all of them. Does he see NASCAR as his long-term job? The answer appears to be a resounding yes. On Friday, Gisbergen's Trackhouse Racing team announced that it has agreed to a multi-year contract extension with SVG. Length and terms are not yet available. "NEWS: Multiyear contract extension for SVG 🤝 The winningest foreign-born driver in @NASCAR history will remain in The House for years to come. A rapid ascent In just three years Shane van Gisbergen has competed in 34 NASCAR Cup Series races and 35 NASCAR Xfinity Series races. He's won eight races between them, making him the winningest foreign-born driver in NASCAR history. Not bad for a guy with only one full season in each series. But it's not like he came out of nowhere, per se. As mentioned earlier, the New Zealand native has competed in - and won - races and series around the world, including three Supercars Championship titles and multiple endurance races. Trackhouse Racing Things appear to be a little more murky for his Trackhouse Racing teammate Daniel Suarez. Last month the two sides mutually agreed to part ways at the end of the season. FOX NASCAR insider Bob Pockrass reported on Friday that Suarez is expected to be replaced by Connor Zilisch in the No. 99 car on a full-time basis next year. "Trackhouse has announced it has signed Shane van Gisbergen to a multiyear contract extension. And for those wondering, while not announced yet, still expect Connor Zilisch move to Cup for 2026 to replace Daniel Suarez," Pockrass wrote. How high can SVG climb in the NASCAR Cup Series?

General Motors Co. has signed a deal with Texas-based Noveon Magnetics Inc. to secure rare-earth magnets for its full-size pickup trucks and SUVs, marking the third domestic supply contract the automaker has signed related to the critical trade dominated by China. The latest agreement and two others with Las Vegas-based MP Materials Corp. and E-Vac Magnetics, a South Carolina-based unit of Germany's Vacuumschmelze GmbH will allow GM to get the majority of rare-earth magnets it sources directly from domestic suppliers, the Detroit carmaker said Wednesday. Dr Gracelin Baskaran, Director, Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, says the United States is giving all the right signals.

‘Didn't Do It for Able Bodied…Men:' Autozone Worker Refuses to Take Battery Out. Then Customer Sees Him Helping Another Man
One man suggests an AutoZone worker refused to remove his car battery because he's Black. In a video with more than 500,000 views, content creator and musician Geneiusbeatz ( @geneiusbeatz318 ) shared the uncomfortable experience he had at AutoZone. In the video, Geneiusbeatz explains that he asked an AutoZone worker for help removing his car battery, but the man refused. Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . Then he says another customer made the same request. This time, he says the worker complied. In the video, he films from inside the store. You can see the alleged worker, who's Black, tinkering with a customer's car. When he zooms in, you can see that the worker appears to have cables attached to the battery. These appear to be from the battery tester. The TikTok does not show the worker remove the battery. But Geneiusbeatz suggests that he did. When he pans to the customer, it's an older white man. 'So Mr Autozone tells me they don't pull batteries out of cars but look who he jump for?' he writes in the text overlay. Geneiusbeatz is also Black, which observers suggest presents an interesting but common racial dynamic around internalized bias and selective service. Will AutoZone Change Your Battery? Trending Now 'We Don't Cut Corners:' Dallas Man Calls Out $7K Honda Dealership Quote After Mechanic Fixes for $125. Then Dealership Responds 'Cleaning My Car Out Today:' Texas Man Leaves Water Bottle in Jeep. Then it Causes Irreversible Damage AutoZone does change batteries. First, a worker will test your current battery to make sure you actually need a new one, according to its website . AutoZone says it offers free battery testing, charging, and installation at all of its stores. If your battery is dead or dying, they'll help you pick the right replacement and install it on the spot. They'll also recycle your old battery for free, so you don't have to worry about what to do with it. The website does not say if a worker will remove a customer's battery if they aren't buying a new one, however. They'll also charge power sport, lawn & garden, and marine batteries—even if it takes overnight. AutoZone carries a wide selection of batteries, including Duralast , one of the top-rated battery brands. 'Our Own Worst Enemy' The situation Geneiusbeatz says he experienced is one many Black people recognize: Being treated with indifference or even hostility by a worker who shares your racial background, only to watch that same person go above and beyond for a white customer. This isn't about expecting special treatment, but about equal treatment. It can feel like a betrayal—especially in spaces where you'd expect a shared experience to foster solidarity. The video touches on a deeper, unspoken tension: How systems of racism can shape behavior even among people who've been harmed by those systems themselves. Sometimes the pressure to appear "professional" or "non-confrontational" around white people can show up as performative helpfulness, while the person doesn't expend that same energy for people of their racial, religious, or ethnic background. People in the comments highlighted these issues. 'Yasser missa bossman,' the top comment mocks. 'We are our own worst enemy,' another person wrote. 'I used to work there. I didn't do it for able bodied capable men. Women and elders I helped,' a third chimed in. (Technically, AutoZone workers are supposed to change customers' batteries.) 'Grown man asking another grown man to take his car battery out,' a commenter said, judgmentally. Motor1 reached out to Geneiusbeatz for comment via TikTok direct message and comment and to AutoZone via email. We'll update this if either responds.
