Ryan Blaney, driver of the #12 Menards/Dutch Boy Ford, waves to fans as he walks onstage during driver intros prior to the NASCAR Cup Series Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway on April 06, 2025 in Darlington, South Carolina. More"It's funny because there's some things that you don't remember about it, like, 'oh wow, I can't believe that happened or we said that,' and Joanna said a couple of things. She's like, 'I don't remember saying that', and a little mortified a little bit I think of some things that the microphone caught, but no, I thought it was great.
"I thought they did a good job of taking their time with this one. More time than they did last year of waiting to put it out so they can refine some stuff. And it was cool for me personally having them around, following us around for our title defense that year and that was a fun journey with those folks over at Netflix."
Confirming that he would support a third season, he continued:
"Yes, is my answer to season 3. I hope everyone likes it enough and I hope Netflix gets enough of a response from it again to warrant season 3, because I think people really enjoy the inside look of the teams and the drivers and their significant others and the toll that it takes on a week to week basis.
"And the highs and the lows of the sport, I think people can can relate to that in their own way, how people celebrate the good times or deal with the rough times.
"I think it's all about the relatability side because the fan watching can't relate to driving race cars because they don't get the chance to do it. But, if you can relate to the person, I think people can really kind of latch on to you and then latch on to the sport as well.
"So I hope they bring it back. I really do. I enjoyed filming with those folks and they're very respectful of us. I hope everyone liked it."

Margaret Qualley Took the Cosmo Quiz Between Making Movies
You know when someone is so booked and busy it feels kind of spiritual? That's Margaret Qualley right now. Case in point: The very morning she sat down to chat with Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Willa Bennett for her 60th anniversary cover interview, her latest film Honey Don't!—the second entry in Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke's Drive-Away Dolls lesbian road trip trilogy—was announced to premiere at Cannes. Not bad for a random Wednesday. And that's not all she has going on right now. She is also starring in Richard Linklater's Blue Moon and just wrapped Huntington, a darkly funny thriller with Glen Powell—and yes, you did spot her in Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix last weekend. Somehow, she still managed to show up to the set of her cover shoot on time and with the vibe of a girl who borrowed her best friend's sweater on the way out the door—not the air you'd expect of someone redefining screen stardom before our very eyes. She understandably had no time to fill out her version of our iconic Cosmo Quiz between photo setups, but she promised she'd get it done—and she's a woman of her word! So she FedEx'd us her completed copy from yes, she was working on yet another movie. (We knew she'd come through!) Over more than a decade in the game, Margaret's made a name for herself inhabiting characters who sit right at the intersection of womanhood, contradiction, and full-blown emotional hurricane. And we wouldn't have it any other way. The answers to her quiz aren't indicative of any characters though. They're quintessentially Margaret. Married. Jack Antonoff. Adam Sandler. Asheville, NC. My dad. My wedding day. Listen to your heart and share how you feel. Anything that involves playing that game is Pictionary. Today. Like 10 minutes ago. Smokey and Jack. Rhinestone butterflies. Björk's swan, duh. Bleachers Stone Pony. Super-high paying with flexible hours. Fine, wings, wave. 4.8 Avocado toast, Fml. Hutch, aka Shawn Hutchinson from Bleachers. Killed anyone. The Kardashians. Show up. Go outside and ride my scooter around in a circle in the driveway while listening to Daniel Powter's 'Bad Day.' Hair by Evanie Frausto for PRAVANA. Makeup by Romy Soleimani. Manicure by Yukie Miyakawa for Dior. Set design by Nicholas Des Jardins. Production by Dana Brockman at Viewfinders. Shot on location at The Penthouse of 1 East 62nd Street, represented by Zina Raslan with the Gambino Group at Compass, and Classic Harbor Line.

Winners, losers from Iowa NASCAR Cup race won by William Byron
NEWTON, Iowa — A look at the winners and losers from Sunday's Cup race at Iowa Speedway. WINNERS William Byron — After running out of fuel at Michigan and Indianapolis this summer and losing top-five finishes, Byron stretched his fuel — with the help of cautions — to win at Iowa Speedway. It's his first victory since the Daytona 500. Byron led a race-high 141 laps. He retook the points lead from teammate Chase Elliott. Byron leads Elliott by 18 points with three races left in the regular season. Chase Briscoe — His second-place finish is the third time in the last four races he's been a runner-up. Briscoe has placed first or second in four of the last seven races. Brad Keselowski — It wasn't the win he needed to make the playoffs, but his third-place finish was his seventh top-10 finish in the last 11 races. He had no top-10 results in the season's first 12 races. Sunday's result came after he started a season-best fifth. He scored a race-high 55 points after winning both stages and posting the fastest lap of the race. Dustin Long, Ryan Blaney — Last year's Iowa winner finished fourth and scored 49 points, second only to Brad Keselowski's total. Ryan Preece — He followed his fourth-place finish at Indianapolis by placing fifth at Iowa. He gained 19 points on Chris Buescher and trails his RFK Racing teammate by 23 points for the final playoff spot with three races left in the regular season. Bubba Wallace — With fresher tires, Wallace gained seven spots in the final 17 laps to place sixth. That gives him three consecutive top-10 finishes, which includes his Indianapolis win. This is his longest top-10 streak of the season. Nate Ryan, LOSERS Kyle Larson — He finished 28th — his worst finish on an oval since placing 37th in the Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day weekend. Larson expressed frustration on the team's radio with contract from fellow competitors in the race. He entered the race 15 points from the points leader. He's now 45 points back. Chris Buescher — His 22nd-place finish tied for his worst finish in the last 13 races. He continues to hold the final playoff spot but saw his advantage on RFK Racing teammate Ryan Preece shrink to 23 points. Noah Gragson — He finished 29th, marking the fifth consecutive race he's placed 29th or worse. Hear from William Byron, Ryan Preece, Chase Briscoe, Brad Keselowski, Ryan Blaney, Bubba Wallace and Alex Bowman following the NASCAR Cup Series race at Iowa. Chase Briscoe takes responsibility for an in-race incident with his Toyota teammates but is happy to come home second after recovering from a caution that "trapped" him deep in the field. Ryan Blaney was "surprised" to see the leaders fall off as much as they did in the closing laps at Iowa but wasn't able to leapfrog out of a fourth-place finish with family support at Iowa Speedway. Ryan Preece chats with Marty Snider and Dale Jarrett about his "eventful" day at Iowa Speedway, which secured back-to-back top five finishes, and knows it will take "perseverance" to insert his name into the playoffs.
