NASCAR on FOX Kansas broadcast opens with Clint Bowyer live TV meltdown
As is customary during pace laps, either Bowyer or fellow analyst Kevin Harvick will key up a notable driver for a brief conversation as they trail the pace car. This week, it was Kyle Larson and Bowyer hilariously screwed up from the start.

'Clint, how about we get to word with our pole sitter, dare we?' said veteran play-by-play voice Mike Joy.
And this is where there was schadenfreude to be had.

'Let's do it. How about you Kyle Busch?' Bowyer said and then, upon realizing his gaffe, 'Or Kyle Larson. This is gonna be a good one already.
'Kyle Larson. Bowyer and the boys up in the booth here at Kansas Speedway. Boy, the Heartland Park. It's been good to you this week. We started at,' he paused again. 'I feel like I'm gonna start over. We're live on television.

'Lakeside, down the way, High Limits race, sprint car race for you. You stole the pole right there at the end of qualifying. Poor Buescher. You've been hard on this kid at this racetrack. Can you make it two in a row for the spring race here at Kansas Speedway? I finally got it out.'
The text itself doesn't do the moment justice.
Kyle Larson couldn't resist the opportunity.
'Well, Jamie McMurray,' Larson said back. 'Yeah, I feel really good about our chances today. I love this track. Sun's out shining. Surface should be slick. Hopefully we can do a good job keeping it up front all day and have a shot at the end.'

Larson went on to win the race and Bowyer executed his end on the broadcast without further issue.

See inside ex-NASCAR champion's $12M Lake Norman mansion
A Mooresville estate owned by NASCAR star Jamie McMurray will hit the market on Thursday, Aug. 20, for $12 million, Corcoran HM Properties listing agents Josh Tucker and Joey Adams confirmed to Axios. Why it matters: The listing underscores Mooresville's — and greater Charlotte's — surge in luxury real estate demand, especially from affluent individuals connected to NASCAR and motorsports. Catch up quick: McMurray is a Missouri native best known for winning both the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard 400 in 2010 — one of NASCAR's rarest feats. Only three drivers have pulled it off in the same season: Dale Jarrett (1996), Jimmie Johnson (2006), and McMurray (2010). McMurry has retired from racing and is now a TV analyst for Fox Sports and the CW, covering NASCAR. The intrigue: Nearby Mooresville luxury transactions include Martin Truex Jr.'s $7.5 million lakefront Euro‑style home and Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s record‑setting $12.2 million sale earlier this year, Mooresville Now reported. Zoom in: McMurray's mansion sits on nearly 34 acres along the Brawley School Road peninsula on Lake Norman. At 9,000 square feet, it has five bedrooms, six full bathrooms and two half bathrooms. A gated driveway leads to a four-car garage — a nod to McMurray's racing past — built by Arcadia and designed by Harry Schrader in 2015. Other highlights include a turf-lined pool, pool house and private lake access from the dock. Take a look around.
