NASCAR makes decision on policing Victory Lane celebrations
NASCAR makes decision on policing Victory Lane celebrations originally appeared on The Sporting News To clear up a bit of confusion in the aftermath of Connor Zilisch falling and breaking his collarbone during his NASCAR Xfinity Series victory lane celebration on Saturday at Watkins Glen, no the Sanctioning Body is not going to police victory lane moving forward. Zilisch said he had heard that NASCAR would prevent drivers from standing on top of the cars the way he had before slipping and falling on his window net. Read more:What next for Zilisch after his fall? NASCAR's managing director of communications, Mike Forde, said that is not happening on the latest episode of his Hauler Talkpodcast. "We haven't said that we were going to tell drivers who have won not to step out onto their window, and stand there and take photos and all that," explained Forde. "Right now, there are no best practices. We aren't legislating it. We haven't said that drivers aren't allowed to do this or anything else. However, I think we did notice the window net ... we do have NASCAR employees in Victory Lane, and just make the window net is inside of the car. 'I think that was part of the problem -- the window net was flapping on the outside. I think Connor even said that may have been a problem, and one of our safety guys actually mentioned the same thing. He noticed that as being one of the issues. So, nothing as far as a policy goes. Make sure the window and check, (because) if that's inside the car, it's one less thing you can slip on." So in other words, NASCAR just wants to keep drivers safe as possible so this doesn't happen again but without micromanaging things.

The course has changed extensively since the tournament last came to Caves Valley in 2021, when the winning score was a whopping 27 under par. The changes — part of a renovation done over 100 days in 2023 — are meant to make the course more challenging.

Delays expected in Stockton as major construction project begins on Benjamin Holt Drive
Heavy equipment is tearing up the ground along Benjamin Holt Drive in Stockton. It'll be a sight and sound familiar to the area for at least the next three months as crews ramp up construction on three major projects along the same busy stretch. "That street is in horrible condition," Stockton Mayor Christina Fugazi said. "The one thing we've heard from residents over and over again is, 'When are you going to fix these streets? When are you going to resurface them?' Well, this is going to go through an entire resurface in that stretch." The nearly two-mile construction project along Ben Holt Drive runs through both county and city limits. Because of this, they are working together to make this project as smooth as possible. "We're trying to be better and proactive to collectively get out there and tell the citizens what's happening and when it's happening," District Two Supervisor Paul Canepa shared. "We've been doing outreach on not only the water main ones, but as far as sending out little texts telling people, 'Hey, we're closing the road, and this is what the timeline is.'" San Joaquin County is working to resurface the portion from Plymouth Road to Gettysburg Place, but not before it replaces the water main underground from Pershing Avenue to Gettysburg Place. The city of Stockton is responsible for the street resurfacing from Grigsby Place to Plymouth Road around and underneath Interstate 5. "For longevity purposes, the only thing you can really do to improve the street is a resurfacing where you grind it down and put a fresh layer of asphalt," Fugazi explained. "Not just one, you put several layers so you don't have to worry as much about cracking and potholes." While months of lane closures and loud construction work may not sound great to neighbors, they are excited to eventually drive on a road that is pothole-free. "Where we are, you know, right here in the Pershing, Lincoln Center area, it's pretty good," Stockton resident Mike Downing said. "When you get over by I-5, it was definitely a little patchy and a little rough going over there, so I'm glad that they're taking care of it." The next temporary intersection closure will happen at Pershing Ave and Ben Holt Dr, starting Saturday at 8 a.m. to Sunday at 8 p.m. Construction for all three projects will wrap up by the end of the year, hopefully by November.
