Harvick Sends Strong Message to NASCAR Drivers After Stewart Friesen Crash
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Former NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick has a strong message for young NASCAR drivers after Truck Series driver Stewart Friesen's horrific crash during the Super DIRTcar Series race at Autodrome Drummond in Quebec. Friesen was seen battling multiple cars into Turn 3, when he suddenly swerved towards the ARMCO barrier and crashed at high speed. The impact toppled his car multiple times. Making matters worse, the car burst into flames as it was flung back onto the racetrack, where trailing cars collided with the wreckage. Stewart Friesen was involved in a major wreck during his Dirt Modified race at Autodrome Drummond. The latest update confirms that he has been helped from his car and is being transported for further evaluation. 🙏Keeping Friesen in our — Taylor Kitchen (@_TaylorKitchen_) July 29, 2025 The safety crew got him out of the car and rushed him to a local hospital for further evaluation. Friesen suffered a fractured right leg and a broken pelvis. Although he is recovering, he has been moved to a hospital in New York, where he will undergo multiple surgeries. Harvick has used Friesen's crash as an example, highlighting the lack of safety in short-track series, and cautioning young drivers to drive responsibly, regardless of the safety layers NASCAR has in place. He said on Kevin Harvick's Happy Hour podcast: Former NASCAR Cup Series driver, Kevin Harvick speaks at the Busch Light activation on the midway prior to the NASCAR Cup Series Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway on February 16, 2025 in Daytona Beach,... Former NASCAR Cup Series driver, Kevin Harvick speaks at the Busch Light activation on the midway prior to the NASCAR Cup Series Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway on February 16, 2025 in Daytona Beach, Florida. More"This is just an absolutely horrifying wreck right here. You see him just hit the end of that wall and then hit by cars and fires. Just glad that he's not in worse condition than he is. It was a tough couple weeks for dirt racing with everything that happened at Eldora with the sprint cars. And then you have Friesen's wreck right here. So glad everybody's still here. "These series don't have the investigations and things, and that's one thing NASCAR does a really good job at, is making sure they understand each wreck. Making sure that they look at all the equipment. They hold the people accountable to wear their equipment right, to get their headrests right. That doesn't happen in the short track world. Some of the stuff you see is pretty scary. "And that's one thing I stress to all of our young guys and just people in general that just get a little lax about it from the safety side. You're not preparing for every time you get in. You're preparing for that moment like we just saw with Stewart Friesen. "So it's super important that all that stuff is right and you evolve with the safety aspect of it. That's the difference between weekly racing and Cup, Xfinity, Truck racing ... that NASCAR holds you accountable. Not so much the case on stuff like this."

Kevin Harvick Points Out Main Problem in NASCAR Pit Crew Clash at Sonoma
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Former NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick has pointed out the main problem that triggered the pit crew dispute during the Cup Series race at Sonoma last weekend. A fight broke out between a pit crew member of RFK Racing and crew members of Joe Gibbs Racing after Ty Gibbs grazed a tire held by RFK tire changer Telvin McClurkin. This happened when Gibbs was passing through the RFK pit stall, which was next to the JGR stall. Following the incident, McClurkin confronted JGR crew members before they got physical. NASCAR officials eventually intervened and later concluded that Gibbs was not at fault, despite RFK providing video evidence. Watch: Unexpected Pit Crew Fight Breaks Out During NASCAR Cup Race at Sonoma Now, Harvick pointed out the core issue in the clash, explaining that the tire changer should have made way for the approaching car and described his act of confrontation as a "bad reaction." Speaking on his Happy Hour podcast, Harvick said: Former NASCAR Cup Series driver, Kevin Harvick speaks at the Busch Light activation on the midway prior to the NASCAR Cup Series Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway on February 16, 2025 in Daytona Beach,... Former NASCAR Cup Series driver, Kevin Harvick speaks at the Busch Light activation on the midway prior to the NASCAR Cup Series Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway on February 16, 2025 in Daytona Beach, Florida. More"Ty didn't do anything wrong here. NASCAR said it as well. My advice to the guy carrying the tires is move the tires. If you don't want to get hit by the car, move the tires. That's your responsibility, not the driver's. They give you that luxury of not having to jump off the wall anymore, but when I was the driver and I felt like your tire carrier was swinging around too wide and it was affecting the way I get into the box, I would brush them. There's no doubt in my mind. "This one is simple. The tire carrier just needs to get out of the freaking way. He's standing in the pit stall with the two tires and so, he can be frustrated all he wants — I don't know why he wants to go over and blame it on the team guys. Just a bad reaction from the tire carrier and in my opinion, 100 percent his problem to deal with. Get out of the way of the car." Gibbs' entry into the pit stall slowed Keselowski, and Harvick said he has no problem with that. He explained: "In all honesty, the 6 and the 54 were racing. Anything I can do to mess up your pit stop, if I can cut it as close as possible to keep you from running around the car, I'm cutting it as close as possible. "If you're right there and you don't want to pull your tire back or take one step back to try to keep your timing right on your pit stop, I want you to make sure that the next time we come in, that you're one step back and your pit stop's not going to be as fast as mine because it's going to be way easier to pass you on pit road or you not pass me on pit road. Pit crew guys might not like to hear that, but I don't have a problem with anything that happened."

Busch Light Debuts New Beer Flavor Likely to Fly Off Shelves This Summer
Busch Light Debuts New Beer Flavor Likely to Fly Off Shelves This Summer originally appeared on Parade. Move over, Bapple, a new limited-edition Busch Light flavor is coming to town. The fan-favorite lager only recently amped fans up with the highly-anticipated comeback of its ever-popular Busch Light Apple (or "Bapple," as some would say), and now it's looking to recreate the hype with the release of its newest "fruit-forward" variety, Busch Light Lime. On Monday, the Anheuser-Busch brand announced the arrival of its latest creation, noting it would only be around for a limited time, just like Busch Light Apple and its prior peach-flavored offering. Related: It features a "crisp, refreshing lime-flavored lager with a touch of sweet on the front end and a clean beer finish on the back," according to a spokesperson for the brand, who also called it "the perfect combination for a sunny summer day outside." 'We're kicking off this summer with our second seasonal drop so our fans can enjoy camping and post hikes with their favorite cold, smooth beer in hand,' said Krystyn Stowe, head of marketing at Busch Family & Natural Family at Anheuser-Busch, in a statement. 'Between Busch Light Lime's debut and the return of Busch Light Apple, 2025 is the summer of flavor, and our fans love our fruit-forward flavored beers. Listening to our fans and bringing them the innovations they want is our top priority.' Those looking to get their hands on the new Busch Light summer edition can find cans of 12, 24, or 30 at most major retailers–but only in 25 states (Colorado, Connecticut, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia and Wyoming) while supplies last. Given how fast Busch Light Apple flew off the shelves, we don't foresee this flavor lasting in-store very long either. Next: Busch Light Debuts New Beer Flavor Likely to Fly Off Shelves This Summer first appeared on Parade on Jun 16, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 16, 2025, where it first appeared.

We Ranked 24 Flavors of AriZona Iced Tea From Best to Worst
It's smooth. It's sweet. It's refreshing. It's cheap. It's everywhere. While Arnold Palmer is not the singular most iconic beverage in the AriZona portfolio, it sure is close, and there's not a single doubt that it deserves admission to the Mount Rushmore of soft drinks. It wasn't until a few years after I lived off cans of these from the Shell station next to my college apartment that I realized mixing lemonade and iced tea was a very cool and normal thing society found acceptable: I just figured everyone would rather be drinking a can of AriZona's Arnold Palmer. On its own, this drink has everything you need, and we can stop right there with the descriptors and superlatives. But let me tell you, you have not lived until you sipped a third of the liquid off the top, filled the empty space with vodka, and ran around town on a hot summer night with a big-ass can of liquid bliss in your hands. If it weren't for the incredibly subtle 'diet' flavor on the aftertaste (the can says 'LITE' and is not emblazoned with the 'No artificial flavors' stamp), this would be a perfect 10, no questions asked. Score: 9.1 As a Northerner, there's a whole slew of things from the South that will always feel overrated to me. Sweet tea lands on this list right between Nascar and Bojangles, though I wouldn't shy away from either if I had a rack of Busch Light in me. It's absolutely everywhere south of the Mason-Dixon line, and the disparity between brews at fast-food joints, diners, and gas stations is truly staggering. It's arguable that Chick-fil-A offers the platonic ideal of sweet tea, but the drive-thru line at your average CFA in Georgia is prohibitive when all you want is a frosty cool glass of the sweet brown stuff. AriZona's spin on the drink is a close second, and I was shocked to realize how much I liked it in spite of it basically being Arnold Palmer with one flavor instead of two. The absence of lemon lets the earthy notes of the tea punch through the mix, and the sugary finish is just a click below being the syrupy, saccharine mess you'll find at lesser Southern fast food chains like Zaxby's or Cookout. I pray the robot mower I'm testing out for this publication makes my real lawnmower obsolete, but if it doesn't, you can find me shirtless all summer long with a pair of UGA Croakies on my head and a can of this in my non-mowing hand. Score: 8.7
