Kyle Busch explains expletive filled rant after Kansas NASCAR incident
Famously, Kyle Busch was mad at everyone on Sunday involved in the four-wide incident that knocked him out of contention for at least a top 10 in the NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway. Busch was booted off the track, spinning into the grass, where he got beached where he keyed up his in-car radio communication with his team and ripped into Ross Chastain, Josh Berry and Noah Gragson. Advertisement First he said 'fuck,' and 'it's fucking fucked' because his Richard Childress Racing No. 8 was trapped in the grass. Then added about the younger drivers that forced it three-wide: 'They're all fucking clowns. Every single one of 'em.' Speaking to Denny Hamlin on the Actions Detrimental podcast, Busch explained that his mind hadn't changed much a day after the fact. 'What the hell were they doing?' Busch said. 'I mean, the 1 [Chastain] was running the top, but he was like four feet off the wall. Then the 21 [Berry] is all squiggly wiggly and hits the 4 [Gragson] and then the 4 bounces into me and spins me out. … I had PTSD of the Daytona crash. I was headed into the inside wall and I'm like, 'Oh my God, this again? Like, please rudder.' So, I downshifted into second gear and the car's going so slow, it's just putzing along and then it ramps over the grass because I was trying to get the motor to turn back over by itself and it just stalled on the grass.' Advertisement Despite his frustrations with the other drivers, Busch also blamed the car and a durable body that encourages contact. 'Anyways, we're all clowns,' Busch said. 'We all don't know how to freaking drive. It's the composite bodies, that's what it is. Everybody just runs into everybody and runs over everybody and hits everybody, hits the wall because we all just bank on the fact that the body's just gonna pop back out and we're going to be fine. These clowns would not have any idea how to drive a steel body car. You touch the wall, and it plows. Put 'em back in the Gen 4 cars.' Hamlin agreed that young drivers would get a huge wake-up call having to drive cars that would 'plow' with damage but they also agreed that NASCAR wants drivers running all over each other.

Callaway Supercharger Boosts Corvette E-Ray to 847 Horsepower
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious The already-powerful Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray has received a massive performance upgrade courtesy of renowned tuner Callaway Cars, pushing the hybrid Corvette's horsepower rating to an eye-popping 847. Unveiled this week, Callaway's performance upgrade revolves around a 2.9-liter twin-screw Gen4 supercharger paired with an advanced TripleCooled air-to-liquid intercooler. Complemented by Callaway's proprietary "CalCal" engine software tuning, the modification significantly enhances the Corvette's factory 6.2-liter LT2 V8 engine. While the standard E-Ray already delivers over 650 horsepower thanks to its hybrid drivetrain combining a gasoline engine and a 160-horsepower electric motor, Callaway's enhancements increase total output dramatically. The gasoline engine alone jumps to 687 horsepower and 643 pound-feet of torque, which when paired with the electric motor, culminates in a combined 847 horsepower—one of the highest outputs ever offered in a street-legal Corvette. Notably, Callaway's upgrade isn't limited to the E-Ray. The supercharger kit also fits the non-hybrid C8 Corvette Stingray, which shares the same gasoline V8 powerplant. When fitted to the Stingray, Callaway claims the supercharged Corvette accelerates from 0-60 mph in a blistering 2.67 seconds and covers the quarter-mile in just 10.64 seconds at 129 mph. Despite the substantial power boost, Callaway emphasizes efficiency and reliability, stating the supercharger requires minimal engine power to operate—just one horsepower—ensuring negligible impact on fuel economy. The upgrade retains all original factory sensors and complies fully with federal and state emissions regulations, including California's stringent CARB standards. Customers purchasing the Callaway supercharger package will receive unique badging, a leather-bound authenticity certificate, and peace of mind through a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty running alongside GM's factory coverage. Additional customization options include a widebody kit, a signature double-D exhaust system, forged nine-spoke wheels, performance chassis upgrades, and exclusive graphic packages. Callaway-authorized Chevrolet dealerships in North America are now accepting reservations for the upgrade with a $1,000 deposit required to secure a build slot.

DEMOLISH FOODS Launches its High Precision Gen4 Commercial Platform, Enabling the Plant-based Whole Cut Category
NEW YORK, March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the past few years, the alternative protein sector has struggled to deliver products that truly compete with conventional animal meat in terms of taste, texture, nutrition and price. Plant-based meats have focused on ground and shredded formats, leaving whole cuts – which is how the majority of meat is consumed – almost entirely unexplored. With bird flu, climate change, and trade agreements threatening poultry and meat supply chains and prices, the need for high-quality whole-cut alternatives is urgent. Consumers and meat producers need a solution that isn't a better attempt at existing plant-based meats, but a true replacement for whole cuts, such as chicken breasts. The Gen3 platform, which was announced last year, stands as one of the most advanced developments in the alternative protein space, designed to replicate meat's hierarchical structure from microscopic muscle fibers to chunky complex whole cuts. Building on this foundation, the Gen4 platform is a dramatic advancement in both technical capabilities and commercial viability. It achieves unprecedented precision in replicating conventional meat, while scaling up manufacturing throughput. It is arguably the world's first platform that replicates all perceptible components and structures of conventional meat. Perhaps the strongest proof of DEMOLISH's Gen4 platform is that most meat eaters can't tell its plant-based whole cuts from conventional meat in appearance or mouthfeel. The images above of chicken breasts and fascicles of DEMOLISH and conventional meat side-by-side, speak for themselves. One of Gen4's most exciting features is its ability to customize meat beyond the species level, and capture the natural variations found in conventional animal cuts. By precisely engineering both juicy and chewy sections within the same piece, they are able to recreate the authentic texture complexity that defines premium meat experiences. Gen4 cuts are also able to fuse multiple muscle structures, such as combining the major and minor pectoral muscles of a chicken breast. The Gen4 platform also has accurate sustained juiciness, which matches conventional meat from the first to the last chew. The Gen4 platform is fully certified for commercial manufacturing, sale, and export, and can produce whole cuts in both chilled and frozen form. Their flagship chicken breast is gluten free, non-GMO, and uses just eight clean-label ingredients, creating a nutrition profile that matches conventional meat in protein, fat, sodium, and caloric content. Operationally, Gen4 delivers several game-changing improvements over Gen3, including a 6x increase in production throughput, a 35% reduction in operational expenditure, multi-vendor ingredient flexibility enabling supply chain resilience, and cost-optimized formulation options with minimal impact on final product quality. The alternative protein industry has reached a make-or-break point. The market needs a transformative whole cut manufacturing platform that delivers on taste, texture, nutrition, price, and scalability. The Gen4 platform is the type of breakthrough that has the potential to revive the sector by enabling the large and unexplored category of precision plant-based whole cuts.
