NASCAR ran into problems on Thursday when it tried moving teams and equipment into Mexico City for this weekend's race at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Several personnel, including the Haas Factory Team, reported hurdles and delays in departure, a problem that has affected the race weekend's schedule. A technical problem on an aircraft meant NASCAR personnel had to find a plane that was authorized to fly to the race venue. According to journalist Matt Weaver, the plane aborted takeoff after the captain reported a suspected bird hit that took out the second engine. He stated on X: The captain of a grounded plane carrying NASCAR industry people to Mexico as it aborted a takeoff said "I dont know if we took a bird but engine 2 blew." The industry personnel are off that plane and have their luggage back. — Matt Weaver (@MattWeaverRA) June 12, 2025 "The captain of a grounded plane carrying NASCAR industry people to Mexico as it aborted a takeoff said "I dont know if we took a bird but engine 2 blew."

American Airlines Announces Another Big Change
It's been an interesting month for American Airlines which started out with Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz calling out the airline for losing his bag on a flight to Vancouver to shoot the reboot of the popular show. "Just landed in Vancouver to start working on Malcolm tomorrow. But I have no clothes because @AmericanAir lost my luggage," he said on social media. About 20 minutes later, Muniz received a familiar automated message from American Airlines. "We're sorry to hear about this and truly apologize for any inconvenience caused. Please send us your confirmation code via DM, and we'll investigate the issue to find a solution," the message read. Just a few weeks later on Thursday, April 24, the company announced its first quarter earnings revealing a $473 million loss - wider than the $312 million loss it posted in 2024, with revenue of $12.55 billion, up 0.7% from the first quarter in 2024. Following the financial announcement, the airline made the decision not to include full-year guidance for investors due to economic uncertainty. Fast forward two days later and American announced some good news - for select travelers. According to a report from the Houston Chronicle, American Airlines is changing how premium passengers are allowed to use their in-flight entertainment. The report states "premium passengers can keep watching movies or listening to audiobooks until they reach the gate, then simply leave the luxury, airline-provided Bang & Olufsen headphones at their seats" instead of giving up their headsets before the flight starts its landing procedures. An American spokesperson said, "it's also great news for our flight attendants who can focus on taking care of our customers during the flight instead of collecting headsets."Sign in to access your portfolio

Stock Movers: Merck, Pepsi, American Air
On this episode of Stock Movers: - Merck (MRK) shares are higher in spite of the company cutting its adjusted earnings per share forecast for the year and saying it expects to lose $200 million to already-announced tariffs in 2025 amid a roiling trade war between the US and China. Still, the company's first-quarter results beat estimates. - PepsiCo (PEP) shares are down after lowering its full-year profit outlook due to unpredictable US trade policy and worsening consumer sentiment, driving up costs and denting demand for its products. PepsiCo expects 2025 earnings per share to be about even with 2024, and a low single-digit rise in organic revenue, citing volatility and uncertainty in global trade developments. - American Air (AAL) shares dropped after it withdrew its full-year earnings outlook due to economic uncertainty, following similar moves by Delta Air Lines and the parent of Frontier Airlines. The airline cited weak domestic leisure travel and economic worries, and now expects a second-quarter adjusted profit of 50 cents to $1 a share, below analyst estimates.
