It’s a time-honored custom for followers of racing to take dwelling damaged automotive components as the final word souvenirs, and final weekend’s version of the Rolex 24 At Daytona offered loads of alternatives for memorabilia hunters so as to add to their collections.

Model-new IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship entrant DXDT Racing was a preferred supply for race-used components after its Corvette Z06 GT3.R caught hearth with Charlie Eastwood onboard the No. 36 GTD entry. The resultant harm pressured DXDT out of the race, and with lots of the parts of the rear-engine automotive unusable, followers had been handled to a bevy of huge and burnt bodywork to make their very own.

“Sadly, I noticed a little bit of a flame by the second a part of the highway course and getting into Flip 6, and by the point I received on to the banking, the flames had been getting greater,” Eastwood mentioned.

“Fortunately the hearth crew listed below are insanely good, they usually had been on the automotive earlier than I even received out. We’re fortunate we nonetheless have a automotive right here, based mostly on them, so thanks. They’re the perfect within the enterprise.”

From the trash pile that gathered in entrance of DXDT’s storage area, followers took a crispy bumper, which left its new proprietor with soot-covered fingers, and one other, with presumably the most important piece of memorabilia to hold away, had the Corvette’s roasted diffuser to move out of the ability.

Elsewhere, a fan had a damaged brake disc from an unknown supply in hand as they walked by the paddock, and leaving the observe after the race, one other was seen carrying what seemed to be an undamaged LMP2 rear wing ingredient as they exited the Flip 4 tunnel.

Based on DXDT crew supervisor Bryan Sellers, followers had been invited to choose by their broken Z06 GT3.R parts and go away with no matter they wished. The identical can’t be mentioned for AO Racing, whose No. 77 Porsche 911 GT3 Rawr — Rexy — and its No. 99 ORECA 07 LMP2 entry — Spike — had been dealt on-track blows and had a pile of damaged components amass of their storage that followers helped themselves to with out permission.

With dozens of groups centered on the 24-hour race, theft-minded attendees have exploited their absence and plundered all method of components, instruments, and sundries whereas crews are on pit lane. In planning for IMSA’s return in 2026, it wouldn’t be a shock to see the addition of garage-based safety employees, both equipped by the observe or employed independently by groups, to make sure groups’ belongings stay of their possession.

“Don’t get me flawed, we love the publicity and the quantity of followers that we’ve gained over the past couple of years, however folks usually on the racetrack, appeared to be far more emboldened than they had been five-10 years in the past,” AO Racing crew principal Gunnar Jeannette advised RACER.

“At factors within the night time, there have been those that simply walked into our trailer pondering that that was OK. We had a few folks simply wander into our pit field. One man’s in the midst of the pit field, standing there, and I walked as much as him and mentioned, ‘Hello, excuse me, however who’re you with?’ And he mentioned, ‘Oh, I’ve received this pit move, I assumed I might simply go wherever.’ I used to be like, ‘Sorry, we have to preserve this space open for our pit crew to work.’ And, he mentioned, ‘Oh, OK. Do you could have any components that I might have?’ And I simply checked out him with a disgusted look on my face, and was like, ‘No, man, we’re in the midst of a race. That’s sort of a ridiculous query to ask.’

“In our state of affairs, the observe companies dropped off the remnants of Rexy bumper and any person simply walked off with it. They dropped it off in our storage, and rapidly it simply disappeared. It says quite a bit about humanity. It’s unlucky as a result of with IMSA, it’s nice having the ability to give folks entry that doesn’t exist in different sequence, however proper now, we’re completely seeing the unfavourable facet of that.”

Early in his debut as The Bachelor’s subsequent main man, Grant Ellis made a daring declaration: “I’m financially secure. I’m emotionally secure. I’m bodily secure. I’m simply lacking my particular person.” That basis needs to be a given for any actuality sequence that wishes to responsibly forged its romantic leads—but ABC’s hit courting present has a wealthy historical past of hoisting contestants with problematic pasts into the general public sphere.

As a rule, taking issues as a right is a surefire solution to develop stale or complacent. However Monday’s Bachelor premiere correctly leaned into the acquainted beats of a generic Bachelor season, and the refreshing nature of Ellis, a 31-year-old day dealer from Houston who turned the franchise’s second-ever Black male lead after the 2020 collection of Matt James. (In a clumsy little bit of timing, James only in the near past cut up from his season’s winner, Rachael Kirkconnell, who elected to inform her aspect of the breakup on Alex Cooper’s Name Her Daddy podcast.)

After his time as an affable however largely underexposed contestant on Jenn Tran’s Bachelorette season, Ellis entered his personal love story as one thing of a clean slate. He’s a former skilled basketball participant whose profession was reduce brief by harm. Ellis’s outlook on life and love has been knowledgeable by his dad and mom’ divorce and father’s longtime restoration from habit. In opening remarks to his 25 suitors, Ellis shared that he admires a girl’s energy and instinct due to his mom, who signed him up for the present.

Whereas assembly his crop of refreshingly age-appropriate contestants—there’s nobody underneath the age of 25, people!—Ellis struck a fragile stability. He appeared assured and comfortable on this function, completely satisfied to put on an unflattering wig whereas taking selfies with Bailey, a social media supervisor from Atlanta or watching a Powerpoint presentation from Michigan-based pediatric conduct analyst Parisa that included AI-generated photographs of their future offspring. However at no level did Ellis’s smoothness really feel suspicious, even when his means to cite The Pocket book led to his first kiss of the season—with Allyshia, an inside designer from Tampa. “I’ve to say, I don’t kiss on the primary date,” she naturally declared to her fellow contestants moments earlier than doing simply that.

Truly, Ellis locked lips with seven girls. He kissed Juliana, who entered the mansion with a cannoli in honor of her Italian roots; Litia, a Salt Lake Metropolis resident with hopes of changing into a Mormon spouse; Vicky, a Las Vegas bottle lady; Zoe, a tech engineer/mannequin; and Rose, who did her smooching whereas blindfolded. Then there was Alexe, a Canadian pediatric speech therapist whose limo entrance concerned a “no drama llama” named Linda. She secured the coveted first impression rose and, in a twist that ought to’ve been deployed about 4 seasons in the past, additionally nabbed the season’s first one-on-one date subsequent week.

Alexe’s early benefit was the one little bit of drama to search out throughout Ellis’s Bachelor debut. Many of the girls exuded the identical aw-shucks vitality one expects to see in a premiere episode, devoting their display screen time to mild jabs concerning the attractiveness of their rivals and untimely assurances that Ellis is their husband in ready. Even the late arrival of a thriller girl yielded little suspense: It’s solely Ellis’s older sister Taylor, who briefly joined the merriment to indicate some child photographs of her brother, reveal that he was in a seven-year on-and-off relationship, and reiterate his total authenticity.

It was a sleepy begin, however possibly after 29 seasons, The Bachelor has earned the suitable to take our funding as a right. In spite of everything, Tran’s season of The Bachelorette started as a sluggish burn earlier than erupting into an all-out dumpster hearth by the finale’s finish. And a trailer for Ellis’s season promised that the juiciest stuff was but to return. In between tears and journeys overseas, Ellis mentioned he’s desirous to shed his “lone-wolf mentality,” represented by the literal lone-wolf tattoo on his forearm. Then ater in his love story, Ellis seemed to be genuinely torn over his closing rose recipient, with host Jesse Palmer prodding him to make an eleventh-hour choice. All of it recommended that maybe even Ellis’s stability could be shaken.

It’s been a little bit of a robust time because the finale of Jenn’s season. That horrible finale, the revelations that Devin was a giant ol’ creep who ought to have by no means been on the season in any respect, no matter was/is going on between Jenn and Sasha from Dancing With the Stars, the goddamned election, the movie Emilia Peréz. As a individuals, we’ve been by rather a lot and we want a win. Whereas I don’t assume we’re going to get one other season like Joey’s for some time or possibly even ever once more, we want an easy, regular-degular Bachelor season. And I feel Grant Ellis is the person to ship us a suitable and unremarkable season. One thing about Grant simply says “a sleeve of Ritz crackers, mendacity on the sofa whereas hungover.”

And truthfully, I feel I’m wonderful with that — 2025 is my TENTH YEAR recapping this preposterous franchise, and the present’s makes an attempt to maintain topping itself by promising the “Most Dramatic Finale But” have gotten tiring. I’m previous now. I’m historical. I’m decrepit. I gave my injector an image of Rely Orlok as an inspiration picture. I can’t sustain with the drama. So a season the place the key dramatic thrust is “the sluggish and inevitable passing of time confuses Grant” is a reprieve. A Bachelor who can barely decide seems like comforting stability. Nostalgic, even.  On this one state of affairs, I’ll shun modernity and return to custom. A sizzling goober who doesn’t know what he desires. America is therapeutic.

Let’s get into it.

It looks as if the vibe they’re going for with Grant is “’90s Advantageous.” You already know, a man who would seem on one episode of Dwelling Single and be caught in a love triangle between Khadijah and Regine. He’s giving Love and, you’ll by no means consider this, Basketball. As a result of Grant was eradicated so early on Jenn’s season and unceremoniously introduced at 2 a.m., his intro bundle has to do numerous work to catch us up on the lore. Grant is from Houston, he’s bought a really cool sister, and he’s able to get married and have infants RIGHT NOW. As a result of we by no means bought his Hometown episode, we meet numerous his household. His dad and mom divorced after 30 years of marriage, and his dad is now sober after an extended battle with dependancy. His dad sits down with him and tells him that Grant will probably be a greater father than he was and that Grant is particular. Marcus went additional on Jenn’s season than this man? UGH! Grant offers his first first-impression rose to his grandma who appears solely vaguely conscious what he’s speaking about.

Grant is VERY centered on discovering a spouse and having youngsters. Grant, these girls are 28. They’d be baby brides. Jesse meets Grant in entrance of the Bachelor mansion and Grant does a number of dances to get the nerves out. I’m gonna be trustworthy with you, if he retains up this timid little dancing all through the entire season, I’m gonna have a tough time. Joey has the Mirrorball Trophy. That’s a dancer! Full choreo or get the fuck out the mansion. No time for a 5-6-7-8, as a result of the primary limos are arriving!

(One actual fast remark: The clothes for the opening evening are both sequined edifices that should weigh over six kilos or silk nightgowns that you could possibly slot in a night bag.)

The primary ladytestant out of the limo is Rose, who hasn’t ready something. She appears good sufficient and Grant appears to actually like her. Subsequent is Litia, who’s Mormon and was born in Hawaii and offers Grant a rhinestone basketball. She says in her intro bundle that faith is a guiding mild for her. Get this lady on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. J’Nae comes out of the limo and throws chalk within the air for a pre-game ritual. My dumb ass wrote in my notes “Oh wow, she has faux snow!” She’s a basketball participant and Grant says as she walks away, “I suppose she’s a LeBron fan.” There’s Parisa, who’s on the present to discover a cat daddy — wait, no! A daddy for her cat! Wait! No! HER PET!! She owns a cat and wish to discover him a father. There’s Carolina from Puerto Rico who’s certainly one of my early favorites. She asks Grant if he is aware of a bit of Spanish, then proceeds to inform him she’s able to get married and make enjoyable of him for not understanding Spanish … all in Spanish. Grant’s language expertise are actually examined on this episode. Fuck Duolingo. Muzzy must make an look on a future group date and lead a foreign-language lesson.

Alli Jo pulls up in a Jeep and offers him a pizza as a result of New Jersey. Italian. Prepare! She’s gonna be loud! Bada-bing! Up subsequent with an intro bundle is Dina from Chicago, who kinda appears to be like like if that Chelsea lady from Love Is Blind took the Substance. She offers Grant her fingers and says she’s been informed she has lovely fingers so she’ll want a size-6 ring. She additionally says in her intro bundle that individuals underestimate her as a lawyer as a result of she’s a woman and fairly. There’s Radhika after which Allyshia. Allyshia has a genie’s lamp and is sort of frankly dressed like a road rat from Aladdin. She asks Grant to rub the lamp and I swear to God she says, “Make a want. Our want is perhaps Grant.” Woman, granted. Simply say granted. We’ll get the pun. After a number of different entrances, there’s a llama approaching. Grant appears to be like down the driveway and asks, “Is {that a} donkey?” I’m falling for this dummy. Main Linda the No Drama Llama is Alexe. She grew up on a farm so she introduced a llama. The true shock is she BRINGS THE LLAMA INSIDE THE HOUSE!!! Linda the Llama simply hangs out the whole cocktail celebration. Linda wants her magnificence relaxation. (Linda has a daring forehead so she clearly cares about her look.)

There’s Juliana, who’s Italian and from Boston. I stay up for her and Alli Jo having an Italian-off and I don’t stay up for Grant presumably going to Boston. I hope her household is cool as a result of based mostly on what I find out about Boston, this entire factor may go from Hometowns to Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. Then there’s Chloie who’s a “plus” “measurement” mannequin and I should not have sufficient air quotes on the planet to explain this girl who almost definitely wears straight-size garments and is being introduced to us as physique variety. “I’ll by no means be a measurement 0” says a lady who’s not more than a measurement 12. We’ve damaged the fat-person ceiling on The Bachelorette. Simply solid a fats girl on The Bachelor. (For anybody freaking out, “fats” is a impartial time period and we don’t have to do the entire “She’s not fats! She’s lovely!” within the feedback. As a result of one, you might be fats and exquisite on the similar time, and two, I don’t see a fats girl in that home but.) Bailey is a social-media supervisor, which is the time period The Bachelor makes use of once they need to make an influencer seem to be they’ve a distinct job. She has him take footage of her and we’ve seen one hundred pc of her gimmick.

Talking of gimmicks, entrance-montage time! Sarafiena with a giant Grant head for some purpose! Kyleigh who is aware of Grant likes to bounce the salsa brings him a jar of salsa for some purpose! Neicey is in a lab coat! Kelsey wears a Mrs. Ellis jersey! Savannah brings him a marriage cake!

Then two of absolutely the hottest girls I’ve ever seen on this present give dynamite entrances. There’s Vicky, who arrives with a “Viva Las Vicky” signal as a result of she’s primarily a bottle lady and she or he’s SO HOT. Subsequent is somebody presumably even hotter, Zoe. Nice googly-moogly. That is the baddest bitch I’ve ever seen on this present. She arrives with a T-shirt cannon that she shoots over the home and mainly assaults the ladies. This can be a show of highly effective dominance. A horny girl, mainly holding a cannon, dropping pictures of her future sexual conquest on her rivals. Arthurian legends have been written about much less. Pack it up, girlies. Zoe is the one to beat.

And with that, it’s time for the cocktail celebration. There’s truthfully so little drama and the present has to work extra time to tell us precisely what Grant’s deal is. One among my favourite fully delusional interactions is when Bailey says that she’s bought a bob so she desires to take one other selfie with Grant the place he has a bob. She offers him a Shake-N-Go to pop on and Bailey, child. That ain’t a bob. The bob isn’t bobbing! That’s a pussycat wig! Grant isn’t giving Silk Sonic or André 3000 within the “Hey Ya” video. He’s giving Anita Baker. Parisa has made a Energy Level and generative AI to point out Grant what their wedding ceremony footage would appear to be and Grant says, “You actually did that!” Yikes.

Allyshia will get the primary kiss of the cocktail celebration and a bunch of ladytestants are watching. I really feel like this group of ladies are all the time lurking within the shadows making an attempt to see what’s happening. Juliana sits down with Grant and performs piano TERRIBLY. I can not overstate how fourth-grade recital this girl’s piano taking part in is and Grant says, “She’s bought actually spectacular expertise. She’s proficient.” Okay, so he thinks she’s the most popular, as a result of she’s not good. Carolina can’t cease crying, I feel as a result of she realizes in actual time that her dad and mom will sometime die.

Abruptly, a thriller girl seems in a stretchy black costume. Who may this girl be? An ex-girlfriend? A former Bachelorette? Who? Who? After they performed a bit of clip of the girl asking him, “Have you ever kissed anybody but,” I knew it was his sister. And I’m a bit of stunned that the ladies didn’t determine it out, as a result of Grant and his sister Taylor have the very same smile. These two are extremely associated. Once more, we didn’t get Grant within the high 4 on Jenn’s season so we’re gonna do his Hometown now in the event you don’t thoughts. Taylor reveals off some child footage and tells some embarrassing tales. She used to decorate him up as her child doll. I can relate as a result of I’ve been informed that I referred to as my youthful brother “my child” for the primary 12 months of his life as a result of I didn’t perceive that he wasn’t a Cabbage Patch Doll. She sits down with teams of the ladytestants and lets them know he had a seven 12 months on-again, off-again relationship. I’m sorry — WHAT? She frames it as “When he loves somebody, he loves arduous,” however that seems like some fuckery to me. I undoubtedly want extra data. Taylor takes her go away and Grant has the first-impression rose to cope with.

However there’s a twist!! Whoever will get the first-impression rose will get the primary one-on-one date. Uh … positive? The Bachelor, you’ve been doing issues the identical method for all these years, don’t go introducing new guidelines and methods at this level. I wouldn’t be stunned if Alli Jo, Rebekah, and Ella get recruited as Traitors and should cross somebody a poisoned golden chalice. However Alexe will get the first-impression rose and a bit of make-out with Grant. Grant loves that she works with kids, and he is aware of she’d be an amazing mother. Okay. WOW. Grant has some robust opinions about these girls very early.

It’s time for the Rose Ceremony and Parisa is regretting making Grant watch a Energy Level slide present. Litia, Rose, Zoe, Ella, Alli Jo, Natalie, Juliana, Vicky, Carolina, Beverly, Bailey, Dina, Chloie, Rebekah, Sarafiena, Allyshia, then lastly Parisa is humbled by being given the final rose. Kyleigh breaks down into tears and says her little-girl self is pleased with her grownup self. This can be a lot of tears for evening one. Jesse leads Linda out of the mansion as Grant leads the ladytestants in a toast!

“…And I felt like for a very long time that there was an answer right here as a result of all people has labored on it, together with the events concerned,” Rutherford mentioned. “However it solely will get resolved for a brief time period after which it festers once more and so it definitely seems like there’s not a great resolution that might maintain this group collectively.”

Commerce rumours have surrounded the Canucks, with the rift showing to affect their on-ice outcomes. The crew is presently sitting exterior the playoff image within the Western Convention. Vancouver, one level again of the Calgary Flames for the ultimate wild-card spot with a 22-17-10 document, received consecutive video games for the primary time since Dec. 1 with a 5-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Monday.

It has been a big drop-off for the franchise after beginning the marketing campaign 13-7-3 after ending first within the Western Convention final season with a 50-23-9 document. 

Rutherford admits the long-term outlook for the crew is prone to be impacted because the crew explores commerce choices involving each Miller and Pettersson. 

“We’re speaking about two of our high gamers,” Rutherford mentioned. “Definitely, our two finest forwards. It could actually actually be powerful on a franchise – not solely current however into the long run – once you’re planning on peaking this crew right into a contending crew and you then discover out that’s not going to occur. Or no less than it’s not going to occur with the group we now have now.

“Then you must put collectively a brand new plan.”

“We’ll should do the very best we are able to in trades”

If the Canucks are to deal both Miller or Pettersson, the crew might be parting a top-six centre. Changing that piece instantly is unlikely, that means one transfer might result in one other because the Canucks look to struggle for a playoff spot this season and past. 

“We’ll should do the very best we are able to in trades,” Rutherford mentioned. “No matter property you get in return, chances are you’ll flip them into one thing else. And we now have to work our method again into being a contending crew.”

The Canucks had been reportedly shut on a deal to ship Miller to the New York Rangers earlier this month, however that commerce by no means got here to fruition.

TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun mentioned final week on Insider Buying and selling {that a} commerce stays the almost certainly end result to resolve the rift in Vancouver, however there is no clear timeline for a deal. LeBrun pointed to the Carolina Hurricanes among the many potential suitors for Miller earlier than the crew swung a three-team blockbuster deal to land Mikko Rantanen from the Colorado Avalanche and Taylor Corridor from the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday.

“A few issues which can be necessary to notice,” LeBrun defined. “One is that Miller hasn’t given the Canucks an inventory of groups that he would waive for, though in these conversations between his camp and the Canucks, there is a sense of the final parameters of the form of crew that might make sense. And sure, there are different groups aside from the Rangers which have been in talks with the Vancouver Canucks.

“…The New Jersey Devils, the Rangers’ rivals – they’ve additionally been a late entrant on this they usually have held talks with the Canucks and J.T. Miller. I additionally assume that internally, the Devils are attempting to type of suss out if it is smart to go all-in on this or not at this level and the place they’re. The Dallas Stars, with all that cap cash that they will spend with Tyler Seguin on the shelf. That is a crew that lots of people imagine J.T. Miller would possibly watch for. Will they make a pitch? So, there are different groups concerned.

“However, one factor the Canucks have type of modified their tune from when this began six or seven weeks in the past – with talks on J.T. Miller – the Canucks mentioned, we want apples for apples. We’re making an attempt to make the playoffs right here. We do not wish to do a futures deal. The Canucks have relented a bit on that. They’d do a futures deal relating to making a cope with a contender, like a Carolina or a New Jersey, as a result of they perceive these groups do not wish to commerce away from their core. So, nonetheless to play out right here. However the Canucks are telling groups ‘we’re not giving this man away’. We’ll see the place it goes.”

Miller, 31, has 9 objectives and 34 factors in 39 video games with the Canucks this season, having missed time as a consequence of a private go away of absence earlier within the marketing campaign.
