VOTE: Who is NASCAR midseason driver of the year?
Happy halfway point. The NASCAR Cup Series is 50% through the 2025 season — 18 races down and 18 to go, counting the playoffs. Let's look back on what we've seen so far. Who has been the best driver this year? May 18, 2025; North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, USA; NASCAR Cup Series driver William Byron (24), NASCAR Cup Series driver Joey Logano (22) and NASCAR Cup Series driver Christopher Bell (20) during NASCAR All-Star Open at North Wilkesboro Speedway. Mandatory Credit: Peter Casey-Imagn Images The contenders: Advertisement William Byron won the Daytona 500 and leads the playoff standings. He's led the second-most laps. Kyle Larson is tied atop the circuit with three victories. He also paces the Cup Series in top-five (9) and top-10 finishes (12) and laps led. He ranks third in postseason points. Fourth in the standings, Denny Hamlin also has three wins. His eight top-fives are the second-most in NASCAR. Christopher Bell rode an early-season hot streak to three straight wins. He slots second with 11 top-10s. Or maybe it's someone else. Chase Elliott, who snapped a 44-race winless streak at Atlanta last weekend and holds the No. 2 spot in the standings, comes to mind. Voting will remain open until 9 a.m. July 6. This article originally appeared on The Daytona Beach News-Journal: NASCAR poll: Who is midseason Cup Series driver of 2025?

The Bachelor (Finally) Renewed at ABC, Gets New Showrunner
The Bachelor will be handing out more roses on ABC: The primetime reality staple has been renewed for Season 30, TVLine has confirmed. (Our sister site Deadline first reported the news.) The long-running dating competition is also getting a new showrunner: Scott Teti, who serves as showrunner for spinoff Bachelor in Paradise, will take the reins on The Bachelor next season as well. Teti takes over for Claire Freeland and Bennett Graebner, who exited as co-showrunners in March following accusations of fostering a 'toxic' work environment.

But the delay was due to the search for a new showrunner, Deadline says, and the new season 'is believed to be targeting its usual midseason window' of January. A specific premiere date — and a star — will be announced at a later date. Bachelor Nation has seen some major shake-ups lately: In February, it was reported that The Bachelorette would skip the summer season for the first time since 2007 (not counting 2020, when COVID delayed it until the fall). Plus, the most recent season of The Bachelor — with Grant Ellis handing out the roses — was down 25% in the ratings versus 2024, averaging 3.3 million total viewers and a 0.6 demo rating (with Live+7 playback). That 0.6 demo rating, though, only trailed Dancing With the Stars, Survivor and The Amazing Race among all reality/game shows that aired on broadcast TV this past season. (Grant's engagement to Juliana, alas, fizzled out after just three months.) Are you happy to hear is coming back? Who should be the star next season?
