FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. -- Blanchfield Army Community Hospital will open a temporary walk-in flu vaccine clinic for two weeks where beneficiaries may receive their annual influenza shot.
The temporary clinic will be open Oct. 28 to Nov. 6, Monday and Wednesday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. in Bldg. 207 on Bastogne Ave., next to Bank of America. All TRICARE beneficiaries six months or older, including Soldiers, Retirees and Family members, may receive the vaccine without an appointment with no out-of-pocket expense at the temporary walk-in flu immunization clinic. Individuals will need to show their military ID card before receiving the flu vaccine.
"We encourage everyone to take advantage of receiving the flu vaccine annually, which can help prevent or lessen the severity of flu. For individuals to receive the most protection in this region, we recommended our beneficiaries get the vaccine between October and December," said BACH Chief of Preventive Medicine Col. Kathryn Ellis. "By opening a community walk-in flu vaccine clinic, we hope to provide easier access to individuals who do not want to make a special doctor's appointment whether they are seen by a provider on or off post. We hope our eligible population takes advantage of this free benefit as a way to protect them and others against the flu which can be life threatening to some immune suppressed individuals."
BACH's Patient and Soldier Medical Home primary care teams will begin offering the flu vaccine to Soldiers and families within their patient-centered medical home Oct. 7. Vaccines may be given at the time of patients scheduled appointment or during walk-in hours within a patient's assigned medical home. Walk-in hours for BACH medical homes are available at http://blanchfield.amedd.army.mil/HealthcareServices/SitePages/WalkinServices.aspx
The temporary walk-in flu vaccine clinic offers extended evening hours for parents or working individuals to receive the vaccine after school or work.
In addition, the Young Eagle Medical Home, BACH's pediatric clinic, is offering a flu vaccination Halloween event within their clinic from 1 to 6 p.m., Oct. 29. Patients are encouraged to come dressed as your favorite character to receive their flu vaccine and a treat. This is open to all TRICARE beneficiaries six months to 17 years old.
Patients Assigned to Providers Outside of BACH
TRCIARE patients assigned to a network primary care provider off post who choose not to attend the walk-in clinic at Bldg. 207, may ask to receive the flu vaccine from their assigned primary care manager. If their assigned healthcare provider does not offer the flu vaccine as a TRICARE-covered benefit, patients may receive the influenza vaccine with no copayment at participating retail network pharmacies. To find a participating pharmacy, visit https://www.express-scripts.com/TRICARE/pharmacy/findpharmacy.shtml or call 1-877-363-1303.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend a yearly flu vaccine for everyone six months and older. Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. Flu seasons are unpredictable and have the potential to impact Department of Defense force readiness and mission. CDC estimates that the burden of illness during the 2017--2018 season was high with an estimated 48.8 million people getting sick with influenza, 22.7 million people going to a health care provider, 959,000 hospitalizations, and 79,400 deaths from influenza. More than 48,000 hospitalizations occurred in children 18 years old and younger; however, 70 percent of hospitalizations occurred in 65 years of age and older adults. Older adults also accounted for 90 percent of deaths, highlighting that older adults are particularly vulnerable to severe disease with influenza virus infection. An estimated 10,300 deaths occurred among working age adults, aged 18--64 years, an age group that often has low influenza vaccination. Special efforts should be made to vaccinate those at high risk from influenza complications to include pregnant women, children under five years of age, adults 65 years and older and those with certain medical conditions. As a standard safety precaution, people can also avoid getting or spreading the flu virus by washing their hands regularly and covering their cough or sneeze with a tissue or in their sleeve, instead of into their hands.

Hydra-Slide - hydraulic skidding systems
These hydraulic skidding systems have proven to be one of the most cost-effective and safe methods for moving all types of heavy loads. The Canadian company also designs and manufactures hydraulic turntables, climbing jacks, and synchronous power units. In one recent case study, a Hydra-Slide product eliminated the need to remove a roof section and lift out a dryer with a crane, which would have added significant mobilisation and outrigger pad costs. Hydra-Slide systems are compact and easy to use within the tight confines of plant-rooms and other sites.

Hydra-Slide to Demo XLP150 Skidding System at Breakbulk Americas
An XLP150 extreme low profile hydraulic skidding system will be the centerpiece of Hydra-Slide's exhibit at this year's Breakbulk Americas, which takes place 8-10 October at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. Hydra-Slide will exhibit at Booth F44.
Hydra-Slide will return to the event for a fourth consecutive year but has doubled the size of its exhibit to 10 ft. by 20 ft. to showcase the 150-ton capacity extreme low profile XLP150, which features a 1.25-in. (32mm) profile, and is suitable for applications where overhead space or clearance is limited, such as inside buildings or within live power stations.
Janine Smith, vice president at Hydra-Slide, said: "It is our most compact, lowest profile system and all components are hand-portable, making it ideal for a trade show. It is also one of our most in-demand systems for job sites where a traditional heavy track skidding system isn't feasible, such as areas with extremely restricted clearances and limited heavy moving equipment. These systems have been used inside hospitals and high security power plants, as well as underground transformer stations and on upper levels of facilities, to slide components to a door rather than removing ceilings as is required with traditional lifting methods."
Breakbulk Americas has grown to be the region's largest and most influential event across Canada, the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean for all those involved in the project cargo and breakbulk community. This year, the event has extra significance because the original Breakbulk event will celebrate its 30th anniversary. Attendees include oil, gas and petrochemicals project owners, top industrial manufacturers, mining companies and metals producers who are moving cargoes throughout the Americas and around the world.
Attendees will also be able to learn more about Hydra-Slide's full line of skidding systems, alignment shoes, hydraulic turntables, climbing jacks, modular stands, and Hydra-Pac synchronous power packs.
Smith said: "We want to showcase our equipment—seeing the real system and how simple and user-friendly it is goes a long way to proving that we have earned our solid reputation for top-quality solutions. We're committed to staging a hands-on demonstration on the show floor, which will show how our products enhance safety and add efficiency to heavy rigging applications on a daily basis."
Don Mahnke, president, and Devin Mahnke, operations coordinator, will join Janine Smith on Booth F44 at this year's show.

Swollen feet, ankles and legs are a common affliction nowadays. Waiters, salespeople, teachers, pregnant women and new mothers as well as any person with a job requiring them to move about all day long can experience swollen feet at the end of the day. Despite the fact that it can produce serious discomfort, very often, foot or leg swelling is regarded primarily as a cosmetic issue. In reality, however, feet, ankles or leg swelling is a medical condition requiring the attention of a medical professional.
1) Being overweight or obese. Being overweight or obese is not something shameful. It is a medical issue like many others which needs to be dealt with appropriately in order to prevent potentially aggravating complications such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Overweight or obese people also tend to suffer from feet, ankle or leg swelling more often than normal-weight people due to their body's tendency to retain more fluids, primarily as a result of a poor diet.
2) Standing for prolonged periods of time. Individuals with jobs that require them to stand or walk most of the time (waiters, dancers, dance instructors, doctors, some clerks, etc.) usually notice their feet swelling at the end of the day. This is a direct result of the pressure their feet is under during the work hours, resulting in swelling and pain. Wearing inappropriate footwear or tight clothes can make the swelling worse.
3) Not moving for prolonged periods of time. Imagine you are travelling through Europe (just an example) by car and you spend hours crammed into the driver's seat. Not very pleasant, is it? Well, it's not. And your feet suffer because of the lack of movement which may engender swelling and pain. This is especially true for professional drivers, but they usually don't even complain about their feet hurting because their back and bottom hurt more.
4) Medication. Certain medication promotes water retention in the body and our stomach and feet are the areas the most visibly affected because of gravity which tends to attract things to the ground. Anti-inflammatory medication, oral contraceptives and hormone therapy medication, high blood pressure medication, antidepressants and diabetes medication are some of the most common medicines promoting water retention and swelling of the feet, ankles, legs, stomach, face, arms or hands.
5) Pregnancy. Despite what we are told, pregnancy is not the most blissful time in a woman's life. Sure, we have really good days and that special glow, but there are quite a few unpleasant changes taking place during this period as well. While swollen feet and ankles are common for many pregnant women, in some cases, excessive swelling may indicate preeclampsia, especially in the third semester of pregnancy.
If you are a proud expecting mother but suffer from excessive swelling in your feet and ankles as well as other signs such as headaches, stomach pain, blurry vision or nausea and poor urine excretion, it might be best to go for a check-up to rule out the possibility of preeclampsia. What makes preeclampsia dangerous is that the high blood pressure may put both the mother and her unborn child at risk for complications.
6) Venous insufficiency. Feet and ankle swelling occurring for no apparent reason may indicate the onset of venous insufficiency, a serious, but treatable condition in which the veins along our legs cannot pump sufficient blood back up to the heart. Women are more likely to be affected by venous insufficiency than men and the condition is often associated with varicose veins, varicose ulcers, itching, blisters, excessive ankle and leg swelling. Obesity is a risk factor and sufferers are prone to blood clotting.
7) Injury. There have been cases when people have noticed one or (rarely) both of their feet swelling for no apparent reason, only to discover that they had an injury they did not realise they had. At-home treatment and rest can help improve a sprained ankle, but if things do not get better, it is important to see your doctor.
8) Other causes. There are several other causes and risk factors for swollen legs, ankles and feet. They include: infection, blood clots, nerve problems, diabetes complications, heart failure, kidney or liver disease.
If you are experiencing other symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, confusion, fainting sensation, nausea or vomiting, ulcerations, significant weight gain, infrequent urination or other similar worrisome signs, it might be best to contact your doctor immediately for appropriate medical care.
1) Keep your legs elevated. Whenever possible, we should work against gravity and keep our legs elevated for a bit. We can put our legs up on a wall or place a pillow or two under them to help the blood flow better from our legs back to the heart. This can help reduce swelling and discomfort.
2) Eat less salt. Swollen legs happen because our body retains fluids, in other words because of water retention. Eating too much salt (sodium) makes our body store more water than normal, so we get a bloated belly, swollen legs, ankles and feet, hypertension and so on. Reducing intake according to our doctor's recommendations and eating more home cooked meals (you can control the amount of salt you add to your food this way) can help reduce feet and leg swelling considerably.
3) Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight or obese is unhealthy because it exposes us to a long list of medical problems such as hypertension or diabetes. Eating healthy portions, increasing our dietary fiber intake, lowering our salt and animal fats intake, eating more home cooked meals, more fresh fruits and vegetables and drastically reducing our intake of processed foods, fast food or any ready-to-eat type of food can help us achieve a nice figure and be healthy.
4) Avoid tight clothing and tight footwear. Tight pants, socks and tight shoes constrict blood circulation in our lower extremities and may lead to swollen legs, ankles and feet. Wearing clothes and shoes that fit us is essential for improving feet swelling and discomfort.
5) Increase our magnesium and potassium intake. Magnesium helps improve blood circulation, while potassium counteracts the water-retention effects of sodium by ensuring fluid balance and preventing fluid accumulation in the body. Have your doctor measure your levels and approximate your daily needs of magnesium and potassium. If food sources such as pumpkin seeds, chocolate, spinach, sunflower seeds, bananas, potatoes and beans are not enough to meet your daily needs, you can supplement with dietary supplements.
6) Enjoy a warm foot bath and massage your feet. When you get home from work, enjoy a warm foot bath for 15-20 minutes, then rest your feet on some pillows to help relax them and restore good blood circulation. Every other day, give yourself a nice, little foot massage to help improve circulation and reduce pain and discomfort.

GoPro survives getting hit by active lava in Kilauea, Hawaii
By FOX 13 News staff
KALAPANA, Hawaii (FOX 13) - A tour guide in Hawaii is lucky his the video on his camera survived an accidental encounter with flowing lava last year.
Erik Storm says his GoPro was accidentally engulfed in lava back in August of 2016.
Storm says he was guiding a tour in Kalapana when he set his camera down to get a first-hand point of view of the lava slowly flowing between rocks. But he forgot it while telling a story.
Now he's sharing the video, which shows lava slowly covering the camera. Flames can be seen eating up the camera lens.
Later on, there's a blurry image of a man standing over the camera. That man is Storm. He says he used a rock hammer to crack the lava rock open after it cooled and hardened.
He wasn't expecting to find his GoPro's blue Wi-Fi light still blinking and the SD card still intact inside.

Q: What does "I fort" stand for? In Terry Pratchett's The Truth, Mr Tulip says "I fort" 5 times.

*

*"I fort that at the start"

*"I fort so!" (twice)

*"I fort you said this city was a -ing pushover?"

*"I fort we wanted to find.."

Is this a kind of mispelling for "I thought" or something else?

A: Readers of Terry Pratchett have to understand that he, and most of his characters, speak British English (of some variety or other), including idioms and creative spelling for dialect and other forms.  It's part of the charm of his books, which I think are the best
novels in English since Dickens, and the funniest since Mark Twain. Or vice versa.
Pratchett is probably my favorite author, because his treatment of language (and the people who speak it) demonstrates that he gets it.
In fact, he got it a long time ago.  Witness the Latin mottos of Unseen University, where wizards are trained:

Nunc Id Vides Nunc Ne Vides

or of the city -- and state -- of Ankh-Morpork, where Business is King:

Quanti Canicula Ille In Fenestra

Not to mention the Greengroce'rs Apos'trophe which appears misplaced in every piece of dialog uttered by his greengrocer characters. The joke is, of course, that apostrophes are inaudible in speech, so nobody listening can tell where they are -- but the writer, and then the reader, can.

A: Since it is spoken, it is a mispronunciation of "I thought", often called th-fronting.

Bowyer, DiBenedetto, Byron on Playoff Bubble at New Hampshire
Bowyer, DiBenedetto, Byron on Playoff bubble at New Hampshire As the NASCAR Cup Series prepares for the 20th event of the 2020 season, time is running out for drivers to solidify their positions in the Playoffs. With 10 drivers already locked in on wins - Denny Hamlin (five wins), Kevin Harvick (four wins), Brad Keselowski (two), Joey Logano (two), Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott, Martin Truex Jr., Alex Bowman, Austin Dillon, and Cole Custer (each have one win) - there are still six spots up for grabs as the series heads to New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on NBCSN, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
As we head to the Magic Mile on Sunday, Aric Almirola (+134 points up), defending series champion Kyle Busch (+120) and his brother Kurt Busch (+119) all have comfortable point leads over 17th place Tyler Reddick – in the first spot outside the Playoff cutoff. But the drivers right below them in the standings – Clint Bowyer (+42) in 14th, Matt DiBenedetto (+35) in 15th, and William Byron (+10) in the 16th and final transfer spot are all feeling the pressure of clinging to their postseason contention chances by such small point margins.
You know the party after this one was huge. 😎
Tap below to catch the full broadcast of @ClintBowyer's first career NASCAR Cup Series victory from @NHMS at noon ET! 👇
— NASCAR (@NASCAR) July 30, 2020
Stewart-Haas Racing's Clint Bowyer, who jumped up one position after last week at Kansas and is now sitting in 14th in the Playoff outlook is 42 points up on the postseason cutline. This season, Bowyer has amassed two top fives and five top 10s. He finished 14th at Kansas Speedway last weekend and finished 20th last season at New Hampshire. In 26 series starts at New Hampshire, he has posted two wins (including his NCS career-first victory), four top fives and nine top 10s.

Wood Brothers Racing's Matt DiBenedetto is next in the driver standings and is having a career year, currently 15th in the Playoff outlook with just a 35-point cushion up on 17th place Reddick – the first spot outside the Playoff cutoff. This season DiBenedetto has collected two top fives and five top 10s in 19 starts. DiBenedetto has recorded one top five and one top 10 in eight starts at New Hampshire. Last season, he finished fifth for Leavine Family Racing, one of his best career finishes to date.

ARCA Menards Series Twinbill at Toledo
July 31 & August 1 Live on MAVTV
The ARCA Menards Series races originally scheduled for May 29 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and July 11 at Elko Speedway have been removed from the 2020 schedule and their dates reassigned to July 31 and August 1 at Toledo Speedway, series and track officials announced. Officials from ARCA, Mid-Ohio and Elko expect to renew the originally scheduled races in the 2021 season.
The unique schedule marks the first weekend doubleheader at the same track for the ARCA Menards Series since Pocono ran a pair of races on the Friday and Saturday of its July weekend in 2003. It is the first time since 1956 that the series will hold multiple races on a single weekend in its hometown, when a Friday/Saturday tripleheader was held at the now defunct Toledo Raceway Park.
The Friday/Saturday doubleheader at Toledo Speedway will be run under ARCA's Event Operations Protocol and limited to essential race team and operations personnel only. Toledo/Lucas County Health Department officials, as with the June 13 ARCA Menards Series East race at Toledo Speedway, have approved the event to be run with participants only and as such fans will not be permitted.
Friday's Menards.com 200 presented by SPxE is slated for an 8 pm ET green flag, while Saturday's Menards 200 presented by Crosley Brands is set for a 6 pm ET start.
Both races will be televised live on MAVTV and streamed on TrackPass on NBC Sports Gold.

RIP Bob Bahre
Speedway Motorsports Executive Statements on Passing of New Hampshire Motor Speedway Founder
Following are statements from Speedway Motorsports executives on the passing of New Hampshire Motor Speedway founder Bob Bahre:
Bruton Smith, Speedway Motorsports Executive Chairman:
"Bob Bahre was a true pioneer for motorsports in New England. He wanted to grow our sport and build things that people will remember. He was a smart businessman and I have a lot of respect for that, but I have even more respect for the positive impact he had on people. I'll pray for Sandy and Gary during this tough time, and I know they are proud of the legacy Bob leaves behind."
Marcus Smith, Speedway Motorsports President and CEO:
"What I'll remember most about Bob Bahre will be his character, understated yet charming. Every time I saw him he had on khakis and a white shirt. I always enjoyed our genuine conversations. He was very generous to people in the motorsports industry and to the New England communities where he did business. He went about things in a quiet, dignified manner and often times that simple approach is the most impactful. It's truly an honor to have known Bob. He lived a meaningful life. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. "
David McGrath, NHMS Executive Vice President and General Manager:
"On behalf of our team at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, I'd like to extend our deepest condolences to Sandy, Gary and the entire Bahre family. Bob left an incredible mark on auto racing through the New England region, and his love of motorsports was legendary. He had a passionate commitment to both drivers and race fans, and that commitment was evident when he built our facility in 1990. I am proud to have known Bob. It was a true pleasure to have spent time getting to know him and learning from him over the years. He will be missed, but his legacy of supporting and building motorsports in New England will live on forever."

Derek Kraus 5th At Kansas
Kraus 5th At Kansas
Moves To Top 10 In Points
A fifth-place finish by Derek Kraus behind the wheel of the McAnally-Hilgemann Racing No. 19 ENEOS / NAPA Toyota Tundra on Friday – in the first race of a NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series doubleheader at Kansas Speedway – moved him into the top 10 of the championship standings.
The 18-year-old driver, who missed his high school graduation to race at Kansas, will return to competition on Saturday in the second race of the weekend for the series.
Kraus had a fast Tundra and demonstrated its strength in charging toward the front on several different occasions in Friday's race. After starting 15th, he quickly made his way into the top 10 within two laps and finished the first stage in sixth on Lap 30.
Yeah this was alittle to close for comfort...😬😬 https://t.co/kfKP7rwt7e
— Derek Kraus (@derek9kraus) July 25, 2020
Although he got shuffled back to 19th as the field cycled through pit stops, Kraus wasted no time battling his way back to the front. After finishing fifth in the second stage at Lap 60, he went to work, again, after restarting 10th. Shortly after moving into fifth by Lap 80, he pitted with the rest of the field under caution.
Kraus restarted in 13th and began another charge to the front – moving into the top 10 by Lap 90 and seventh by Lap 100. He was up to sixth by Lap 120 and charged into fifth on Lap 126 of the 134-lap event.

— Bill McAnally Racing (@BMR_NASCAR) July 25, 2020
It marked his second top-five finish of the season. He opened the year with a best-career finish of fourth at Daytona International Speedway.
With his finish on Friday, Kraus moved to 10th in points – as the battle continues for a top-10 position and a spot in the playoffs.
Saturday's truck series race at Kansas Speedway, slated for 1:30 p.m. ET, will be televised live on FS1.
Derek Kraus – Thoughts about Kansas
You were up front all night, and earned stage points in both stages and scored your second top-five finish of the season. Talk about the solid run.
"Yeah, our ENEOS Toyota Tundra was really fast tonight. I felt like right from the drop of the green flag we had a good Tundra. We were able to drive from 15th to seventh/eighth at the end of that first stage. Then, we fell back a little bit on the pit stop and then made our way back up and finished fifth at the end of the night. I feel like that was a really good run and a really good way to start off the weekend."
This was your high school Graduation Night. What did it mean to you to have such a strong finish tonight.
"I feel like tonight we had a really good run, and it was a special night, for me. It was graduation. I got my diploma from my principal back in Strafford, Wisconsin. I really can't thank them guys enough. They let me chase my dreams of racing, and they let me miss as much school as I needed to, to chase my dreams. I just can't thank them enough, and tonight was a really good night to have a good finish."
With this run, you are back inside the top 10 in the overall standings. What do you need to continue to do to maintain that Playoff spot?
"We just need to have good runs. Tonight was a really good run. We had a really good start to the weekend, as we have that race tomorrow. I feel like we just have to have consistently good runs, finish inside the top 10 every week. If we do that, and do our jobs, we will be in the top 10 I feel like."zzz

Denny Hamlin #Wins
Super Start Batteries 400 Presented By O'Reilly Auto Parts At Kansas Speedway
Denny Hamlin passed leader Kevin Harvick with 13 laps to go then held off a hard-charging Brad Keselowski to win the Super Start Batteries 400 presented by O'Reilly Auto Parts NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway Thursday night.
RT to congratulate @dennyhamlin on win No. 5 in 2020 @FedEx | #TeamToyota pic.twitter.com/BICGD4S0Ov
— Joe Gibbs Racing (@JoeGibbsRacing) July 24, 2020
It was a Cup Series-high fifth victory of the season for Hamlin, his second consecutive win at the 1.5-mile venue (after winning last October) and the 42nd trip to Victory Lane of his career. His margin of victory over Keselowski was .510 seconds. Harvick slipped to fourth while Hamlin's Joe Gibbs Racing teammates - Martin Truex Jr. and Erik Jones – were third and fifth, respectively. Hamlin now has recorded five or more wins in a season on four occasions in his career, including two straight after taking the checkered flag six times in 2019.
"I saw him (Harvick) get loose, and I kind saw blood in the water there, so we just ran him down (and made the pass)," said Hamlin. "I thought the 2 car (Keselowski) was really fast. We just got it right when it really mattered. This is how you win them. We tried to keep track position at all costs and were able to keep it in clean air. Proud of this team. We are really doing a lot of things well and looking forward to getting to the playoffs."
"I thought Denny and I were probably pretty close to equal the second half of the night," said Keselowski. "It was just a matter of who got out in front. We didn't get out in front on the restarts there and he was able to take advantage and bring home the win. All in all, it was still a really good day."
Hamlin led four times for a race-high 57 laps. His average speed was 121.832 mph. There were 22 lead changes among nine drivers.
Rounding out the top 10 were:
Aric Almirola (6th)
Cole Custer (7th)
Alex Bowman (8th)
Kurt Busch (9th)
William Byron (10th)

The fourth Gibbs driver – Kyle Busch – rebounded from a late scrape with the wall to come home 11th while NASCAR's most popular driver, Chase Elliott, was 12th. Custer's seventh-place standing made him the highest finishing rookie in tonight's field.
With this year marking the 20th season of racing at Kansas Speedway, Hamlin became the fourth driver to win consecutive races at the track, joining Jeff Gordon (2001-02), Matt Kenseth (2012-13) and Martin Truex Jr. (2017). For Hamlin, tonight's victory was important in that it ended a string of three straight races in which he placed 12thor lower, including finishes of 28th and 20th.
"We want to bounce back and it's not like we ran bad by any means," Hamlin said. "Indy, we were leading the race and blew a tire with six (laps) to go and then Texas, we're going to come out with the lead and had that late-race caution that trapped us a lap down. We're really doing a lot of things well. Kentucky is kind of the only outlier where we really didn't run that well. Looking forward to downloading this and figuring out what we can do to be better."
Busch won Stage One, his first of the season, as well his initial one at Kansas, earning him his first 2020 NASCAR Playoff point. Keselowski held off his Team Penske teammate Ryan Blaney to claim Stage Two for his fifth stage win of the season.
There were 11 cautions for 47 laps, with two accidents coming back-to-back on restarts that took out many contenders. The first occurred on lap 176 of 267 when two-time Kansas winner Joey Logano slowed in turn two, setting off a chain reaction incident that included Jimmie Johnson, Matt DiBenedetto, Harvick and Austin Dillon, last weekend's winner at Texas. Logano and DiBenedetto immediately retired to the garage while Johnson's wounded car would only make it 200 laps, resulting in a 32nd-place effort.
Six laps later on the lap-182 restart, Ryan Newman and Christopher Bell got together down the backstretch, sending Ryan Preece into the inside SAFER Barrier and Chris Buescher in the back of teammate Newman. Both Preece and Buescher were eliminated while Newman and Bell continued but with battered machines.
With his end result, Johnson, the seven-time Cup champion who is retiring from full-time driving at the end of the season, slipped to 18th in the playoff standings. He is now sandwiched in between 17th-place Dillon and 19th-place Cole Custer, who both have won races recently and are already guaranteed a spot in the 16-driver playoff field. The series has seven more races before the playoffs begin at Darlington Raceway on Sept. 6.

Kansas Speedway – Races Without Fans
"Over the past month, we have worked closely with public health officials, medical experts as well as state and federal officials to determine if we could run our rescheduled July NASCAR weekend with fans in attendance.
After careful and extensive consideration for the health and safety of our fans and the local community, we determined that the most prudent course of action would be to host the races without fans.
While it was a difficult decision, the well-being of everyone who comes to our venue is paramount. We appreciate the patience and support from our fans, and look forward to our Fall NASCAR weekend, October 16-18." Kansas Speedway President Pat Warren

Ford Finishes 1-2 in Texas Xfinity Race
Austin Cindric and Chase Briscoe brought home a 1-2 finish from Texas Motor Speedway. The No. 22 Team Penske Ford Mustang went to victory lane for the third time in three races and marked the fifth straight win for Ford Performance in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
"Congratulations to Austin, Brian and the No. 22 crew," said Doug Yates, President and CEO of Roush Yates Engines. "Austin and Brian worked hard all day to put the No. 22 Ford Mustang in position to compete for the win and three wins in a row is impressive."
Slip & slidin' Cindric.

In the NASCAR Xfinity Series, My Bariatric Solutions 300, Kyle Busch finished P1 with the Ford Performance teammates of Austin Cindric and Chase Briscoe finishing P2 and P3, respectively. Busch's car then failed post-race inspection, and the win was officially awarded to Cindric and Briscoe was moved up to P2.
"I just got out of the hauler from getting changed back into my street clothes and saw the 54 and everyone and their brother surrounding the scales, that's never a good sign for those guys," said Cindric, when asked about how he found out about the win ruling. "I know they race hard and word hard. I want to win it on the track. I felt like we had a shot to do that today and maybe didn't execute as well as we should have and that's what kept us out, but fast race cars and being in position that's where it counts."
Ford leads all manufacturers with eight total wins and Briscoe with Stewart-Haas Racing leads the driver and owners' points standings with Cindric and Team Penske in P2.

Derek Pernesiglio Promoted
New Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Network Pit Reporter
Although he may be a new face to the world of short course off road, veteran trackside reporter Derek Pernesiglio brings a wealth of experience and talent to the Lucas Oil Off Road Series. The newest addition to the broadcast team for 2020 will handle pit reporting duties at the races, providing viewers with the latest breaking news from the paddock as well as one-on-one interviews with the drivers that make the sport so exciting.
A native of the New England area, Pernesiglio has spent his entire career at the racetrack, where he's spent time behind the wheel, on the mic, and in front of the camera. Growing up in a racing family, he had the privilege of competing at a young age, with the dream of perhaps one day racing in the Indy 500. As time wore on, Pernesiglio started to focus on a career in broadcasting and was able to get his start as a local track announcer. After completing school with a degree in television and radio production, Derek took advantage of a chance to work for NASCAR and made the move to North Carolina, the proverbial heart of stock car country, in the early 2000s.
From the moment he stepped foot in Charlotte, Pernesiglio has made inroads within the greater NASCAR community. After spending his early days behind the lens as a producer, he eventually made his on-air move in 2006 for the ASA Late Model Series. Shortly thereafter, he became the full-time pit reporter for NASCAR's developmental K&N Series and has held that position ever since for what is now the ARCA Menards Series. He also serves as the pit reporter for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour since 2015. Through his role with the ARCA Menards Series Pernesiglio might be a familiar face and name to some viewers of MAVTV, where he's also served as Ralph Sheheen's co-host on Speed Sport.
After leaving a strong impression through his work with MAVTV, the opportunity arose for Pernesiglio to bring his talents to a new audience at the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series. While the racing world was unfortunately put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, Pernesiglio found himself more available than originally expected and he got the call to join the off road team. Moreover, as a racer himself, Pernesiglio has an uncanny appreciation for the craft.
"I can't wait to check out these racetracks and experience a new type of racing for the first time. It's clear that all the drivers in this sport are exceptionally talented, and I'm looking forward to getting to know them better so that their personalities can come out on camera.
"I know I'm going to need to learn on the fly, but I'm really looking forward to jumping in and figuring it all out. I've been a racer my whole life, and I still have my own small race team, so I'm always in the shop turning wrenches. I can't wait to see what goes into the fabrication process of these off road vehicles because what they do on the track is spectacular. I've always been called a 'nuts and bolts' reporter because I'm such a gearhead, and I think that's going to help me learn everything there is to know about short course off road in a hurry. I really just can't wait to get started."
With his many years of reporting on the oval track circuit, Pernesiglio has garnered quite a loyal following of supporters that he hopes will follow him over into the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series and expand the sport's continuously growing fan base.
"I know that I find myself jumping out of my seat and yelling at the TV screen whenever I watch these races, and I'm sure the people who really spend most of their time watching stock cars and sprint cars will appreciate how exciting and unpredictable off road racing can be. If there's one thing I really hope can come out of this season it's bringing the awareness of the sport to different parts of the country that wouldn't otherwise see it."
Get Ready!!!! Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series will air LIVE on Lucas Oil Racing TV July 25 & 26 at 4:30pm ET! #LOORRS #LORTV @LucasRacingTV pic.twitter.com/Byfbm4axYp

Greenlight Debit Card for Kids On Board the #27 of J.J. Yeley
Every account is FDIC-insured
Have you discovered the Greenlight Debit Card for Kids? I hadn't until I learned that the company was sponsoring J.J. Yeley for the All Star Open. As an Oma (Dutch Grandmother) to five youngsters, I found this concept both awesomely timely and efficient.
J.J. Yeley, in the #27, will start the Open from the thirteenth position in his Rick Ware Racing Ford. Yeley competes full time in the top NASCAR Series. He was the 2001 and 2003 USAC Sprint Cup Champion; the 2002 and 2003 USAC Silver Crown Champion; and the 2003 USAC "Triple Crown" Winner. J.J. has three hundred and seven (307) cup races under his belt.
As cash usage dwindles, the Greenlight Debit Card for Kids Teens, and College Students provides parents an efficient convenience while teaching their youngsters good money habits. These app-based cards put parents in control, while letting kids learn from their mistakes without getting into serious trouble for only $4.99 per month!

On a late race restart with two laps to go, in Sunday's Quaker State 400, Stewart-Haas Racing driver, Custer in the No. 41 Ford Mustang started from the third row. With a strong push from Ford teammate, Matt DiBenedetto, during the restart he was able to make a monster move from the outside on the white flag lap to take it four wide and pass the race leader and veteran drivers Martin Truex Jr, Kevin Harvick and Ryan Blaney for the lead. Custer took the checkered flag .271 seconds ahead of second place driver Truex, punching his ticket to the All-Star race on Wednesday night and into the Playoffs.
One of the wildest late-lap battles for the lead in recent memory! 🤩
Relive the final lap that gave @ColeCuster his first win in the NASCAR Cup Series! #QS400 pic.twitter.com/29ZqkUPCYP
"I knew I just had to get to the top," said Custer. "The top rolled pretty good and once I got past and I was like in third I was like I've just got to take a shot and do whatever I can here. And it ended up the 4 and the 19 got together a little bit and I was able to take advantage of it. It was just an unbelievable car and I was able to take advantage of it. I just can't thank all my guys and everybody at SHR enough, and everybody at Roush Yates Engines – just an absolutely amazing car."
Six Fords finished in the top-10, led by Custer, DiBenedetto P3, Harvick P4, Blaney P6, Stage 1 winner and leader of 128-laps Aric Almirola P8 and Stage 2 winner Brad Keselowski P9.
Ford leads all manufacturers with 10 race wins while Stewart-Haas and Kevin Harvick lead the owner and driver points standings.
In the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Austin Cindric battled hard against Ford Performance teammate Chase Briscoe to bring home his first two wins of the 2020 season for Team Penske. This marked three NXS wins in a row at Kentucky for Ford Performance and 4th consecutive win in 2020.
Thursday night, Cindric took the lead with 40 laps to go and it appeared he would take the checkered flag, but late race cautions set the stage for a thrilling over-time finish as he battled with Ford Performance teammate Briscoe.
The two Ford Mustangs lined up side-by-side on the front row for a green-white-checkered finish. Cindric took the outside lane and Briscoe the inside. Briscoe was able to get a slight jump on Cindric at the restart, but the No. 22 would not be denied and got a huge run off the corner to rocket right by the No. 98 to take the lead and the checkered flag in Kentucky. Briscoe finished P4.
"I don't care what shape the track is, if it's dirt, oval, I don't care I'm just so happy this Snap-On Ford Mustang is in Victory Lane," said Cindric. "We've come so close all year. These guys have given me so many awesome race-winning cars. This is awesome. All the credit to my guys for getting me here."
In a double-header at Kentucky Speedway the Xfinity series returned Friday night, where the No. 22 Ford Mustang dominated the Alsco 300. Cindric led a career high 130 laps out of the 200-lap race and took the checkered flag 2.262 seconds ahead of No. 98 Briscoe, making it a 1-2 finish for Ford Performance.
"I'm just so excited. This is all a credit to my team," commented Cindric. "I'm the lucky one that gets to drive this Snap-On Ford Mustang. Thank you to everyone – Ford Performance. A one-two between me and Chase. That was a lot of fun."
Briscoe and Stewart-Haas Racing continue to lead the driver and owner points standings and with back-to-back wins Ford leads manufacturers with seven wins and a 10-point lead. Cindric and Team Penske are in a strong third place position.
The NASCAR Cup Series heads into All-Star week with the All-Star Open and All-Star Race being held in Bristol, TN on Wednesday, July 15th. Reference the full 2020 schedule on Roushyates.com.
