Logano takes the checkered flag in a haze of Bristol dirt
BRISTOL, Tenn. – Somewhere under the thick red haze floating over Bristol Motor Speedway, Joey Logano took the checkered flag for NASCAR's first Cup Series race at a dirt track in 50 years. Logano got a jump on Denny Hamlin on the overtime restart to earn his third career victory at Bristol. The Logano victory closed a weekend of uncertainty and even some hysteria as NASCAR launched this drive through the dirt. It was broadcast partner Fox who wanted a dirt race on the Cup schedule and Speedway Motorsports, seeking some new energy at its beloved Bristol bullring. UP NEXTNASCAR is off for Easter and the Cup Series resumes Saturday night April 10 under the lights at Martinsville Speedway.
Rain swamps Bristol dirt track; NASCAR to try again Monday
NASCAR canceled all Sunday activity because even if Bristol's converted dirt track could eventually be readied for night racing, the entire facility was a swampy mess. The first Cup Series race on dirt since 1970 was rescheduled for 4 p.m. Monday; trucks were set to run at noon. He openly fretted that a bad show at Bristol would damage the future of NASCAR dirt racing — and NASCAR itself seemed to admit it was a valid concern. Stewart, who has insisted Eldora can successfully host the Cup Series, declined to comment Sunday when reached by The Associated Press. "People need to understand this is not how dirt racing is and I think they need to try and appreciate how hard this is to pull off.
What a Mess: NASCAR worried about first Bristol dirt race
AdBristol also made a bold change this year by converting its facility into a dirt race as part of radical changes to the 2021 schedule. NASCAR needed a major shakeup and the dirt race joined an influx of road courses and new venues for the most adventurous schedule in sport history. So when NASCAR broadcast partner Fox pushed for a dirt race on the Cup schedule, Speedway Motorsports said Bristol would be the guinea pig. "That's probably the most uncomfortable I've ever been in a race car," said Kevin Harvick, running his first Truck Series race since 2015. The first NASCAR Cup Series points-paying sanctioned race in the inaugural 1949 season was on dirt at Charlotte (Old) Speedway.
NASCAR's 'unique' winners already altering playoff landscape
Christopher Bell celebrates at the finish line after winning the NASCAR Cup Series road course auto race at Daytona International Speedway, Sunday, Feb. 21, 2021, in Daytona Beach, Fla. (AP Photo/Terry Renna)HOMESTEAD, Fla. – NASCAR's postseason landscape has been altered after just two Cup Series races. "The number of unique winners is really going to change how many cars get in on points, right? Although Bell drives for powerhouse Joe Gibbs Racing, he was a rookie for that top team and in his second full season in the Cup series. The Cup Series opened on a superspeedway, then raced on a road course, and now heads to an intermediate track. Whether that's different markets, different racetracks, it has to be different from year to year.
Allmendinger back at Daytona in 1st Cup race since 2018

The longshot Daytona 500 win earned McDowell his first playoff berth and FRM now is positioned to build a once unthinkable cushion. This road course race was added to NASCAR's schedule in December because COVID-19 restrictions would not allow a stop at Fontana, California. Dillon missed the Cup race in August because he'd received a positive COVID-19 test.

Chase Briscoe lands childhood hero Tony Stewart's No. 14
Briscoe idolized fellow Indiana native Tony Stewart and dreamed of one day driving Stewart's car. and I'd say 'Man, the dream is to drive the 14,'" Briscoe said in an interview with The Associated Press. Much like Stewart, Briscoe is considered a blue-collar racer who lacks the family wealth needed to clear the path for an aspiring young driver. He had to earn everything on the track, yet nearly every year Briscoe's season plans were 11th hour deals. It's why he's ready for the NASCAR Cup Series and why we are so honored to support him."

Remember the old IROC Series, where the best drivers from various disciplines raced each other in equally prepared cars? It ran for 30 seasons before Tony Stewart won its final championship and the series quietly went away. We envision a hybrid of all different series we dont see it looking like a crazy dunebuggyish type car, Evernham told the AP. Evernham believes drivers will arrive and draw for both their car and crew chief which Evernham hopes comes from a pool of noted industry veterans.
Denny Hamlin wins on a long day at Homestead
HOMESTEAD, Fla. Denny Hamlin found the magic at Homestead-Miami Speedway, once again. Hamlin went to the lead for the final time with 30 laps left and held off Chase Elliott for his record-tying NASCAR Cup Series victory at Homestead. At Homestead, he led 137 of 267 laps on the 1 1/2-mile track in Joe Gibbs Racing's No. Most of those fans were gone when Hamlin drove under the checkered flag at 10:46 p.m., ending the marathon day. Austin Dillon had a day hell never forget, though his seventh-place finish wasnt even close to the most significant development.
Briscoe finds a way, wins Xfinity race at Homestead
HOMESTEAD, Fla. Chase Briscoe lost much of his team and got a win for them. Its just a testament to our team, Briscoe said. With 15 laps to go, it was basically down to a two-car race: Gragson was leading, about 2 1/2 seconds ahead of Briscoe. Gragson never had control of the race again, and Briscoe wound up in victory lane. That was a team win, for sure, Briscoe said.

Caribbean stud poker was one of the less popular poker variations during the last few decades but is now gaining serious prominence amongst several players and in many casinos. Just like any other game it is guided by strict rules that regulate the players of this wonderful game some of which include that once the player makes a wager, he is also expected to place an additional 1$ aside known as the progressive side bet.
Each player and the dealer get 5 cards each all dealt face down with the exception of a dealer card. After this process, the players are allowed to check their cards but as it is with all card games, giving out information about one's card to another player is frowned upon. There are also only two options for players of the Caribbean stud poker which are either to raise or fold.
If the player decides to fold, he will forfeit his cards, ante bet and any side bets he makes but if he raises then he must make a wager that is exactly double the previous one he made. The dealer will then turn over the other four cards he has and if he has an ace, a king or higher, he qualifies. This means in this context, the lowest hand is the ace, king, 4, 3, 3 while the highest non-qualifying hand is the ace, queen, jack, 10 and 9. If the dealer doesn't qualify, then the player wins even money on his ante wager and then the raise will push.
If the dealer is able to qualify and beat the player, the latter loses both the ante and the raise. More so, if the dealer qualifies and loses to the player, the player will get even money on the ante and the raise will depend on the posted pay table. If there is a tie, both the ante and the raise will push but the progressive side bet is totally based on the value of poker cards on the player's hands.
There is nothing more complicated in the game of Caribbean studs than the optimal strategy. As a matter of fact, there are no experts when it comes to applying this strategy but there are two major methods that can guide players to an interesting time on the game. The first method stipulates that the player must always raise with a pair or higher while the second plan is to always fold with less than what the dealer has in his qualifying hand.
The tricky part of this plan is the ace/kings hands. Usually, it is better when the three singletons are high or the dealer's up card is either a jack or less and then matches at least one of the player's cards. This ensures that the dealer's chance of making a pair is reduced drastically. The resultant effect is a house edge of about 5.2% which is just 0.001% shy of the optimal strategy.
If this method isn't ideal for you, try out the Wizard's Caribbean Stud Poker Strategy which suggests that players must raise if the dealer has 2 cards that are through queen and at least one of his matches the player's. Also the dealer's card is an ace or king and all you have is a queen or jack on your hand, you'd better raise. Lastly if the dealer's rank doesn't match any of the player's cards but he have a queen in your hand and all the dealer has for his troubles is less than your fourth largest card, you must raise.
Just as discussed earlier the player has the opportunity to make a side bet 0f 1$ which can pay for hands of a flush or even better. It must also be noted that there are several payoff tables that vary but one thing that is common across board is the progressive jackpot. They all pay 100% of the jackpot meter in the case of a royal flush and for straight flush a 10% jackpot.
The player may also call if he makes abet for the dealer. In many casinos, the player calls the tip for as long as he can raise his bet. This is a very good strategy if he is able to raise with a marginal hand. When a player has a pair of fives or less, it is better for him to call unless he folds himself. When he has a pair of sixes, he can call except the singletons are sevens or higher, a pair of sevens is prompting him to raise except all the three singletons are six or less but when he has a pair eight or higher it is better to raise. Following this model guarantees the player at least a 50% advantage on the game.

Q: HttpWebRequest gives 500 status code but is returning JSON from the API? Question Background:
I am attempting to make a simple HttpWebRequest to a Web API that I have hosted in Azure.
The Issue:
If I access my Web API end point through a browser or a request tool such as Postman I am receiving a JSON response with no Issues.
If I try accessing the same end point through a HttpWebRequest Call I receive a 500 fatal error but I am able to see in the response property of the Try Catch that the JSON response has been returned.
The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.

The Code:
The following is the simple request I am making to the Web API I have. As stated before, in the Catch the response is returning back the JSON I expect, as shown:
{"ResponseMessage":"OK","ResponseContent:[{"kind":"youtube#playlistItem","etag":"\"gMxXHe- ........ etc }]}

The Request:
 string url ="http://myapi.azurewebsites.net/api/videos/GetYouTubeVideos";

    try
    {
        HttpWebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(url) as HttpWebRequest;

        WebResponse wr = req.GetResponse();
    }
    catch (WebException wex)
    {
        var pageContent = new StreamReader(wex.Response.GetResponseStream())
                              .ReadToEnd();
    }

I appreciate that identifying the cause of a 500 isn't straight forward but can anyone provide a reason I would be getting this error but also still receiving the JSON from the service that is apparently throw an exception?

A: there are some properties about WebHeaders you must be care!example codes:
HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
webRequest.Method = "GET";
webRequest.Proxy = webProxy;
webRequest.AllowAutoRedirect = true;
webRequest.Timeout = 20 * 1000;
webRequest.Accept = "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8";
webRequest.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.99 Safari/537.36";
WebResponse wr = webRequest.GetResponse()
