What drivers are saying about Josef Newgarden's quest for Indy 500 three-peat
INDIANAPOLIS — Josef Newgarden doesn't shy away from the question of winning an unprecedented third consecutive Indianapolis 500. In the 108-race history of the event, no driver has gone back-to-back-to-back. Both of his wins have come in dramatic fashion, with last-lap passes on Marcus Ericsson in 2023 and Pato O'Ward in 2024. "We have a great opportunity," Newgarden said. "To win three in a row. It would be historical, as everybody knows. I think the odds are astronomical. "If you look at the statistics, it should be almost impossible for us to do this, which sort of takes out the pressure." In speaking about it last week, Newgarden insisted he isn't feeling the pressure. "I have the same intensity that I want to win the race," Newgarden said. "And if we win the race, circumstantially, it's going to mean three in a row. But I feel more relaxed being here. How could you not? I'm just thankful to be here at this point. It's all good." Newgarden will start 32nd in the middle of Row 11 after the penalties issued to his team for illegally filling a seam in a piece at the rear of the car. On "FOX and Friends" on Wednesday, Newgarden exuded confidence. "We can totally do it," he said. "We have the team, we have the people. ... I want to win it from the last row now. The mountain is only getting taller this week. And it's a big process. But I'm ready to go." So that's what Newgarden said about the chance to three-peat. What about others who know him and compete against him? Here's a sampling of what's been said this week: Team owner Roger Penske: "He's a pro. He's been probably the best on ovals for the last two or three years, whether it's a short oval, medium or obviously at Indy. ... He's done it with courageous passes and execution in the pits." Four-time Indy 500 winner Rick Mears: "All I can [suggest to him] is kind of go off what I felt I should do. I can't really speak for Josef. This is Indianapolis, it's almost impossible to keep it as another race. But that's the frame of mind I tried to keep when we were running. That way I'm not pressured into doing something that I shouldn't do. I just think that's the best way. That'll be up to him how he wants to approach it." NASCAR teammate Joey Logano: "What I see in Josef is a very intense person who is very aware of everything that is going on around him. And he is ultra-competitive in anything he does. So when you put a big prize in front of him, he's going to be the person that levels up because he's going to want it really bad. And I think there's no better example of than the pass he made last year to win the Indy 500. The amount of [courage] it took … going for it on the outside in Turn 3 like that. I mean, he just said, 'If I wreck, I wreck, I'm going for the Indy 500 win.' It was an all-or-nothing move. That's why he wins. But I also think he's very calculated." NASCAR teammate Ryan Blaney: "Josef is an animal, man. ... He is one of the hardest-working guys out there. One of the nicest guys ever. He just kind of has that it factor. I don't know what it is, but it's just something about him. He is just a hard-core racer. I have no doubt in my mind he can go out there and win it. His pass last year around O'Ward around the top into [Turn] 3 takes some guts to do that. Does he do that move yet if he hasn't won one yet? I don't know." 2008 Indy 500 winner Scott Dixon: "It's the 500. He's definitely one of the favorites. Penske were definitely favorites last year. So I think this year is pretty similar. ... He's definitely one of the favorites for sure." 2016 Indy 500 winner Alexander Rossi: "Josef is the most aggressive oval driver in the series. ... Talking about the specific pass for the win with Pato last year, Josef had the momentum and had the run on the outside. We certainly saw in the past [a different move] at Gateway, Josef kind of forced the issue and made the other driver make a decision. It's part of his DNA. It's part of why he's so successful on ovals, especially short ovals. And honestly, it was always a little bit of an outlier why those results that he had on ovals didn't translate to Indy [initially]. Like it was only a matter of time." Penske teammate Scott McLaughlin: "He's the same Josef we know. I'd be pretty relaxed. If I win one, I'm going to be very [expletive] relaxed. ... He's won 500s, and I'd take that over anything on this planet. It's a lot of hard work to get to that point. He put himself in positions last year and the year before that really allowed him to do that, and that's a credit to him." Four-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves: "Penske has great potential, especially with Josef, the way he did the last two years. He's in the hunt for sure. He's another competitor that I know is going to be very, very, very tough to beat." Bob Pockrass covers NASCAR and INDYCAR for FOX Sports.

Christie Brinkley shares her top beauty tip and secret to fitness in her seventies
At age 71, Christie Brinkley still feels like an "Uptown Girl." The former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model has written a memoir, "Uptown Girl," which explores her rise to stardom and the pitfalls she faced. During her "FOX & Friends" appearance on Thursday, the star was asked how she's stayed in camera-ready shape over the years. And Brinkley didn't hesitate to share her diet regimen. "First of all, my number one beauty secret is that I have been a vegetarian since I was a little kid," said Brinkley. "And I really, truly believe that if everybody would at least try and be a vegetarian or a vegan… I'm currently a vegan. I have been for the past, maybe a year now." "So try it," she encouraged viewers. "You'll love it. And you'll never feel better. And you'll be helping our planet, which is vitally important right now." The model previously told Fox News Digital she's a big fan of the "rainbow diet," or "brightly colored foods" rich in vitamins and minerals. WATCH: CHRISTIE BRINKLEY OPENS UP IN NEW MEMOIR 'UPTOWN GIRL' "It fortifies my body — and you really, truly are what you eat," she shared. "I treat myself to good nutrition, and I never feel like I'm denying myself." "It's no longer called a diet," Brinkley stressed. "There's no denying myself anything… I've always said, the more you learn about food, vitamins, minerals and exercise and what it does to your body chemistry, the more you will reach for the good stuff because you'll want to fuel your body. And that's what I do." Back in her early modeling years, Brinkley was put on an all-fish diet to shed pounds quickly before a photoshoot. These days, Brinkley said she refuses to deny herself the foods she loves. Moderation is key, she said. "If I happen to be on some trip, or it's somebody's birthday, you have to have a piece of cake because it's not good luck to not take a bite of the birthday cake," she chuckled. "I do that, and then I say, 'That's fine.' I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I'll just watch the sugar intake the rest of the day, but I just want to treat my body right." "I've been a lifelong vegetarian," said Brinkley. "But about a year ago, I became a vegan, and I am really, really thrilled that I did, because I have never felt better. I eat lots of grains and beans and all kinds of colorful foods." When asked for a piece of advice she would give her younger self, she quoted her ex-husband Billy Joel's song, "Vienna." "Slow down, you crazy child, you're so ambitious for a juvenile," she sang. "But seriously, slow down. Enjoy it all. Savor it all. But live." Back in 2021, Brinkley told Fox News Digital she won't step on a scale to manage her weight. Instead, she lets her clothes do the talking. "I don't step on a scale," she said at the time. "I have my 'Honest Jeans' tell me the truth. I'll try those on to see where I'm at. If I fit into those, I feel good. And when they're too tight, it's OK, too." "At first, I was a little surprised because I've been wearing a lot of sweatpants," she added. But for me, it's smaller portions and a little more exercise. And I choose to focus on counting my blessings, because once you start realizing all the things in your life that you're grateful for, it becomes no big whoop." In 2019, Brinkley told Fox News Digital that keeping her body moving has been essential over the years. "I've always loved sports and doing things outdoors," she said. "Whether it's running around the tennis court, stand-up paddleboarding, skiing, kayaking, cycling, mountain trails — I just love being active and doing things." "It's just so important to keep moving every day, especially at my age now," Brinkley continued. "My enemy is sitting. It's a big mistake for people to think they need to sit it out. That's the worst thing you can do. You gotta get yourself to a physical therapist, figure out what's causing those aches and pains, strengthen your muscles and keep going."

'Light on the truth': Gabbard announces RFK files released months after Trump's order
Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard announced the release of the first batch of Robert F. Kennedy assassination files on Friday after teasing the news earlier this month. "Nearly 60 years after the tragic assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, the American people will, for the first time, have the opportunity to review the federal government's investigation thanks to the leadership of President Trump," Gabbard said in a statement released. "My team is honored that the President entrusted us to lead the declassification efforts and to shine a long-overdue light on the truth. I extend my deepest thanks for Bobby Kennedy and his families' support." Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said in the same statement that releasing the files was "a necessary step toward restoring trust in American government." "I commend President Trump for his courage and his commitment to transparency. I'm grateful also to Tulsi Gabbard for her dogged efforts to root out and declassify these documents," he continued. Likewise, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reacted to the files' release on X on Friday morning, writing, "RFK Files have been released. Promises Made. Promises Kept." During a Friday morning appearance on "FOX and Friends," Gabbard said 10,000 pages had been released — none of which had previously been digitized or publicly viewed. Gabbard said the files included documents regarding the government's investigation of the assassination and "questions and theories" as the investigation played out, as well as State Department conversations and insight. "The significance of this is huge," Gabbard said. "It's been nearly 60 years since Senator Kennedy was assassinated. We're obviously not stopping here." Gabbard also said that "just the other day, we discovered over 50,000 additional pages solely around Senator Kennedy's assassination," saying she had "over 100 people at National Archives" scanning through the documents in anticipation of a second release. "Nearly six decades have passed since the tragic assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and these historic files have been hidden from the American people all this time — until now," a White House spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "In the name of maximum transparency, President Trump has released over 10,000 pages of the RFK files with more to come. There has never been a more transparent president in the history of our country than President Donald J. Trump. Another promise made and promise kept." Gabbard had previously mentioned the files' drop on April 10 during a Cabinet meeting at the White House, saying at the time that more than 100 people had been "working around the clock" scanning paperwork related to both the Martin Luther King Jr. and RFK assassinations and subsequent investigations. "These have been sitting in boxes in storage for decades," Gabbard told President Donald Trump. Kennedy was also present during the meeting. "They have never been scanned or seen before. We'll have those ready to release here within the next few days," Gabbard said. The RFK files' release comes as a result of Trump's declassification executive order issued shortly after he started his second term. The order specifically seeks to declassify files on the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert and civil rights icon King. Trump had previously promised to declassify the documents while on the campaign trail, saying at the time, "When I return to the White House, I will declassify and unseal all JFK assassination-related documents. It's been 60 years, time for the American people to know the truth." According to the order, the director of national intelligence and other officials were expected to submit their proposed release plans for the RFK and MLK files on March 9. DNI and the attorney general were previously given a Feb. 7 deadline to submit their release plans for the JFK files. The Justice Department saw a fallout in late February after releasing a batch of Jeffrey Epstein files. Many of the documents publicized then had already been released during the federal criminal trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former lover and convicted accomplice.
