Dirt Race Crash Ends With Car Flipping After Driver Retaliates
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In the MARS Late Model series at Farmer City Raceway in Illinois, two drivers got into a terrifying crash, which resulted in a car completely flipping on its head. During the race, Daryn Klein (No. 10) attempted to pass Bob Gardner (No. 4), but the move didn't work out. Klein's car hopped on top of Gardner's, and another driver, Dylan Thornton, also hit the No. 10. Gardner was left with massive damage to his car, and in a fit of rage, he prepared to retaliate against Klein for the aggressive overtake attempt.

The No. 10 cut across the track, got side by side with the No. 4, and whacked his rival, leaving Klein's car flipped upside down. All of this action happened on the first lap of the race, though none of the other drivers were injured after the dangerous incident. Luckily, this happened at a dirt track with cars that didn't reach high speed - lessening the risk for a scary outcome. Gardner ended up disqualified from the race. He offered his side of the story in a personal YouTube video. "What I did was uncalled for, was wrong, was out of my character — but I did it, and I'll suffer the consequences for that, whatever that may be. "In the heat of the moment, I wanted to flatten Daryn's left rear tire; in my mind, he put me out of contention for not only that heat, but for the rest of the night for a possible win, and in my mind, he wasn't going to finish that heat race. "I just wanted to flatten his left rear tire so he could race the heat race, give him a little payback. "Whether anybody thinks that's right or wrong, that was my intention. Obviously, it didn't go that way." The racing series issued a six-month ban from all dirt racing events, with a potential for reinstatement or an extended penalty. "Bob Gardner has been a loyal supporter of the MARS Late Model Championship tour and has attended every event that has been held since MC Promotions took ownership over the series in 2023, with the exception of one show," the series' post-race report read. "Gardner placed fourth in series standings in both 2023 and 2024 and was currently 11th in 2025 series standings heading into Farmer City. "This penalty report is being made public due to the severity of the on-track incident, to provide clarity and transparency of the incident, and to show we do not condone this type of behavior at our events."

Why did Ethan Klein offer to buy Creator Clash?
Image via: YouTube/H3 Podcast In the aftermath of Creator Clash 3's cancellation, the once-celebrated influencer boxing event now hangs in the balance. Yet where some see failure, others sniff opportunity, and now, two of the Internet's most controversial personalities vie for ownership of what remains of the brand. On July 20, 2025, Drama Alert host Daniel "Keemstar" posted an "open letter" on X, publicly expressing an interest in buying the intellectual property rights to Creator Clash. "As a long-time fan & viewer," wrote Keemstar, "this is a serious inquiry. Owners, please reach out to me for talks." While some brushed it off as a bit of performance theatre, Keem maintained the offer was serious, dismissing any joke despite his reputation. Enter Ethan Klein : With a Side of Sarcasm? Soon after Keemstar's comment, Ethan Klein came into the picture and gave his shot of sarcasm and unpredictability. In a post to his community, Klein wrote: 'I WILL BUY CREATOR CLASH - OWNERS REACH OUT! Shall I buy Ian's house, too?" The "Ian" he mentioned is Ian "iDubbbz" Kane Jomha, the original founder of Creator Clash and a name which has recently become closely associated with the event's collapse. On the other hand, although with great humor, one could hardly just disregard the comment given Klein's large platform and connection with previous internet drama. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gold Is Surging in 2025 — Smart Traders Are Already In IC Markets Learn More Undo It's unclear if Klein intends to actually pull the big buy-off or whether he's simply mocking his long-time nemesis Keemstar,or even iDubbbz himself. In this unpredictable culture of influencers, at times, healing comes from the pain of the jest, and sometimes the beauty of an awkward smile is that it is genuine. What Happened to the Creator Clash? The influencer boxing event, once widely respected as the perfect amalgamation of entertainment and charity, took quite a hit as Creator Clash 3 was officially cancelled on July 7th, 2025. The organizers called it a "hard decision," citing behind-the-scenes complications. Refunds were issued automatically to all pay-per-view buyers with the fans speculating about The process was the nadir of all those ambitious, community-oriented attempts to get benefit-based content creators into the ring. Future Prospects: A Real Bidding or More Drama? Whatever the consideration, it is to be kept under consideration whether they actually want to take Creator Clash into their hands or are only trying to be provocative figures in the sprawling online gossip movement about Creative Clash. Ethan Reacts To Creator Clash Being Cancelled Officially Whatever the situation, these developments have once again made public interest bloom around the near future of influencer boxing. The event is currently in limbo, but with bigger names being attached to the IP, a comeback may well be in store for this, albeit in a greatly altered form.

Simone Ashley Is Embracing Her ‘Single Era'—Get to Know Her Full Dating History
Bridgerton's Simone Ashley has become synonymous with romance since she captivated viewers with her role as Kate Sharma on the Netflix hit. Her on-screen chemistry with actor Jonathan Bailey made Kate's story one of the most popular seasons in the series. She released her rom-com Picture This in 2025, solidifying her iconic romantic heroine status. But at the moment, Ashley's private life is not about romance. The actress is currently single and loving it. In March 2025, she told People that she is 'defining [her] single era as a time that I don't wanna waste away.' 'It's about self-growth, and I am looking for someone who is so confident in themselves and is really ready to have an open heart in the same way I do. And I think that's hard to find,' the 30-year-old actress said. 'I'm not in a rush. It can be easy to jump into the next thing immediately, which is something that I am choosing not to do.' Ashley continued, 'I want to take my time to find the right person for me and to work on myself—to grow, and to focus on my work.' 'I've got such an incredible year ahead, and I'm up to such exciting things,' Ashley added. 'And I have the most amazing family and friends around me. So I'm working on my heart and on myself and on my confidence.' So, before her single era, who was Ashley romantically entangled with? Here's her complete known dating history so far. Ashley started dating Constantin Klein after she met him in May 2022 at the Grand Prix in Monaco, which she shared with Vogue in a November 2022 interview. Klein worked as a corporate lawyer until 2019, before switching careers and becoming the CEO of GP Ice Race, a winter car race that runs on an actual ice track. In the Vogue interview, Ashley didn't say who this new boyfriend was but told the outlet, 'I'm very happy. We haven't gone public yet, and we're having those conversations about how we can get there before anyone else does.' When asked about living together, she added, 'I'd like to but, you know, one day.' Before her interview, fans were pretty aware of Klein because they were seen together at a few public events over the summer. In December 2022, she posted a photo of Klein blowing out his birthday candles on Instagram, writing in the caption, 'The best birthday surprise for the best person.' He also made a discreet appearance in a carousel of pictures of a beautiful winter vacation. Things became 'official' when she shared a photo of them being affectionate and laughing at a Netflix BAFTAs after-party in London in March 2023. And in August 2023, she shared some pics of him taken by her brother while out on a hike. Klein hosted a birthday party for Ashley in March 2024. She shared pictures from the night on Instagram, writing in the caption, 'Thank you to my love for organizing the best day ever. I adore all my friends so much ❤️.' But in early 2025, Ashley revealed her relationship had ended. During her February 28 appearance on BBC's Woman Hour podcast, Ashley said, 'It's kind of ironic I'm promoting a rom-com [Picture This], and as of January this year, I've been entering my single era.' She added, 'I'm focusing on me and focusing on my work and my inner confidence. It feels like a different chapter from when Bridgerton came out, where things were just so crazy.' The former couple was last seen out together in October 2024. Ashley has not commented on why they split.

Quirky NYC art project finds subway stations with ‘feels like' temps well above 100 degrees: ‘It's unbearable'
This quirky campaign is heating up. A Queens-based artist and software developer is shedding light on the subway system — with a project showing temperatures regularly surpass 100 degrees at popular train stops across the city. Advertisement @ Dangerously hot in NYC subway stations #mta #nyc @MTA ♬ sonido original – New York Lab Jack Klein of the TikTok account New York Lab has recorded 'feels like' temperatures at New York City subway stations above 130 degrees Fahrenheit, including the 6th Avenue/14th Street L train station last week. Jack Klein has been sharing his shocking findings with hundreds of thousands of viewers on TikTok as he treks underground with a thermometer to log 'feels like' temps, which hit a scorching high of 120 degrees at Union Square's during the recent heatwave. 'It's a very kind of visceral, shared experience among people living in New York — but it seems to be sort of under-reported and brushed off,' Klein told The Post of why he started his viral account, New York Lab, last August. Advertisement 'But in reality, it's like a public health issue that I think could be handled better.' Klein, 30, said he spent nearly a thousand dollars on several Kestrel Drop 2 sensors to record heat index, temperature and relative humidity at subway stations after a brutal summer commute from Ridgewood to Hell's Kitchen last year. 5 From June 4 to June 8, one 181st Street station elevator's 'feels like' temperature was at 90 degrees or above more than 90% of the time, Klein said. TikTok/@ 'There's no concrete data set about heat within train stations, and how heat travels [there],' he noted. Advertisement But through his social media project, Klein has been able to show just how much New Yorkers are slow-cooking underground. During June's heatwave, he logged the 120-degree 'feels like' high at Union Square, while Herald Square notched 112 degrees, and the mercury hit 111 degrees at the Dekalb Avenue L station. 5 While end goal is to be determined, Klein's independent New York Lab hopes the current project will inspire advocacy, art or simply start a conversation about climate change effects. Michael Nagle He recorded 'feels like' temps of above 130 degrees in front of an idling train at the 6th Avenue/14th Street L train station — even as the weather cooled off above ground last week. Advertisement The Ohio native has also hidden smaller sensors around eight train stations – including one elevator in a 'notoriously hot area' – since May to collect long-term data. 'Some of the hottest places in New York City might actually be the underground elevators that our most vulnerable populations use to get in and out of train stations,' he said. 'I'm thinking about disabled people, or pregnant women or elderly people who are susceptible to heat exposure, that are being forced to take this elevator.' 5 'Some of the hottest places in New York City might actually be the underground elevators that our most vulnerable populations use to get in and out of train stations,' Klein said. Stephen Yang While the end goal of the endeavour is to be determined, he hopes the project will inspire advocacy, art or simply start a conversation. But while social media users in the comments section appear shocked at the 100-plus readings, some New Yorkers seemed less surprised. 'During the day, especially in a heatwave, this place is an oven: It's unbearable,' Markus Achen, 39, of Flatiron, said of the Union Square station. 5 Some New Yorkers have to get creative to beat the heat underground. LP Media 'Some days it gets so bad that I'll splurge on an Uber because I can't take the thought of standing on that platform and waiting for the train,' said Adanna Okafor, 26, of Crown Heights, whose regular station is Crown Heights-Utica Avenue. Advertisement Another straphanger was more hard-boiled about the heat. 'To me, all the subway stations are equally hot in the summer – they're just hot, hellhole hot. But it's a part of living here,' said David White, 42, of Harlem, whose regular station is the 135th St 2 and 3 line. 5 Jack Klein 30, from Ridgewood, Queens has launched a quirky art project to find the hottest subway stations. TikTok/@ 'It's like a rite of passage that you just have to live with.' Advertisement Subterranean subway stations are oftentimes much hotter than their above-ground counterparts, according to Probable Futures, a climate literacy nonprofit that is helping Klein analyze his findings. Reasons include underground infrastructure built with heat-trapping materials, lack of air flow and vegetation, human body heat and idling trains expelling hot air into a 'concrete box underground,' according to the group. Alison Smart, executive director of Probable Futures, said Klein's project should serve as a wake-up call for New Yorkers, noting heat on the subway will likely only continue to increase due to climate change. 'The subway system needs to be prepared for multiple months of very high temperatures,' she said, noting the hellishly hot platforms could cause both human health problems and destroy the aging system's infrastructure — leading to even longer wait times underground. Advertisement 'The NYC subway system was designed for certain temperatures and certain weather conditions,' Smart said. 'Everything in civilization that we have built was designed and specified for a past climate, and that climate doesn't exist anymore.' Some New Yorkers said it's on the MTA to fix the problem. 'It's like an oven,' Talia Muro, 28, of Midtown East said of the Herald Square stop. 'I would think it's an easy enough problem to fix to get some airflow, but maybe it's a money issue — I know the MTA is always complaining it never has enough money.' Advertisement The MTA noted in its Climate Resilience Roadmap released in 2024 that it has improved air circulation on passenger platforms, and even started using white reflective paint to lower rail temperatures. But the roadmap also outlined a $6 billion budget of future investments 'that will be needed to address climate change in the coming years.' 'The MTA will be looking to future capital programs to provide the funding to make the system resilient to heat and other climate threats,' the agency said at the time.
