Prime Video is going all-in on NASCAR.
This weekend, the streamer will be the exclusive home to the Coca-Cola 600, marking the first time that a NASCAR race airs only on a streaming service, but ahead of that, a new documentary series is exploring the legendary career and complex family dynamics of one of the sport's biggest names: Dale Earnhardt.
Earnhardt made his NASCAR debut almost exactly 50 years ago in the 1975 World 600 and over his 26-year career, he became one of the most visible people in the sport with 76 race wins and a record-tying seven NASCAR Cup Series championships.

The documentary, from Oscar-winning producers Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, features rare archival footage, thrilling races, and emotionally revealing interviews from his children, rivals, and closest friends.

Steve Bannon's Podcast Is Back On Spotify 5 Years After He Suggested Beheading Government Officials
Five years after Steve Bannon said he'd put government officials' 'heads on pikes,' his podcast 'WarRoom' is no longer suspended at Spotify. Bannon tells the New York Post that his content hasn't changed much in the years since, and described it as 'the same' in a June interview. Previously, Bannon had served as the White House's Chief Strategist during President Donald Trump's first term, though he left in 2017 after clashing with other aides. He's since remained an influential voice in the MAGA sphere, including via the WarRoom podcast, which publishes a number of times a week and has been dubbed a 'far-right 'Meet the Press'' by The Washington Post. A Spotify spokesperson told HuffPost that the decision to host Bannon's new WarRoom episodes follows a 'temporary suspension and constructive dialogue with the show's team.' The spokesperson did not specify what that dialogue addressed and if any changes had been made to the show that led to its reinstatement, however. Spotify removed an episode of WarRoom in November 2020 after Bannon suggested beheading government officials, including then-National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci and then-FBI Director Christopher Wray. 'I'd actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England, I'd put the heads on pikes, right, I'd put them [Fauci and Wray] at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats,' Bannon said in the episode. 'You either get with the program or you're gone – time to stop playing games,' he added. 'Spotify won't tolerate content on our platform that promotes, advocates or incites hatred or violence,' a Spotify spokesperson told Gizmodo in November 2020 about removing the WarRoom episode. 'The content in question has been removed due to multiple violations of our policy.' Spotify went on to temporarily suspend the show altogether, according to the company spokesperson, because several episodes published in 2020 broke its Platform Rules, which urge creators to avoid content that promotes violence. Bannon, meanwhile, claimed in the New York Post interview that his remarks in that episode were metaphorical and not literal threats of violence. 'I made a comment two days before about Thomas More in 'A Man for All Seasons,' where they put his head on a pike, and we said it metaphorically about Christopher Wray and Dr. Fauci,' he said. After the November 2020 episode, accounts associated with Bannon were also suspended from Twitter and YouTube. WarRoom was still hosted by Apple Podcasts during that time, however, and continued to reach numerous listeners via that platform. The show's return to Spotify comes as multiple tech platforms have reversed past suspensions of President Donald Trump and his allies in recent years, and as a number of Silicon Valley executives have sought to build cozier relationships with the White House. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) also drew fierce criticism from Democrats earlier this year for giving Bannon a platform on his own podcast, a move he defended by stating that he wanted to 'engage' with different ideas. 'I can give a punch and I can take a punch — the MAGA movement prides itself in being resilient,' Bannon told the New York Post about his return.

From Charlotte to Adelaide: Kyle Larson's Next Racing Frontier
From Charlotte to Adelaide: Kyle Larson's Next Racing Frontier originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kyle Larson, NASCAR's versatile champion is eyeing his boldest challenge yet: a debut in Australia's Supercars Championship at the prestigious Adelaide 500. This potential move represents another ambitious chapter in the career of motorsport's most globe-trotting competitor. Advertisement Larson has always wanted to race at Adelaide. "One that stands out to me is... I'd like to run a Supercar, in particular in Adelaide," he said recently. The timing could actually work out since NASCAR ends in early November and Adelaide runs late November. But here's the thing - it's not that simple. Larson would need to spend two or three weeks in Australia right after his NASCAR season ends. That's during the holidays and the guy already races almost every weekend of the year. His schedule is crazy busy. NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Larson at Charlotte Motor Dedmon-Imagn Images Larson isn't cocky about his chances either. He saw what happened when Shane van Gisbergen came to NASCAR and won his first race. "Shane came in and kicked all of our butts," Larson admitted. "So I know these Australian racers are extremely good. I would not be surprised to run last." Advertisement There are talks happening behind the scenes with different teams. Shane van Gisbergen and Zak Brown from McLaren are helping make connections. The race organizers would love to have a big NASCAR name like Larson show up. Larson proved he can handle Australian tracks when he won a sprint car race in Perth last December. For now, everything is still just talk and planning. But knowing Larson, he'll probably find a way to make it happen eventually.
