Corey LaJoie will run a limited NASCAR Cup Series schedule with Rick Ware Racing this season and also serve as an analyst for Prime Video.

LaJoie will drive the No. 01 Ford Mustang beginning with the season-opening Daytona 500. As the team does not have a charter, he must earn a spot in the field through his qualifying speed or qualifying Duel race.

The number of races LaJoie will contest with Rick Ware Racing was not announced. Nor was the schedule of races beyond Daytona.

DuraMAX and Take 5 Oil Change will be LaJoie’s primary sponsors at Daytona.

In addition to his on-track goals, LaJoie hopes to create a Stacking Pennies Performance Brand. It begins with the car number, a nod to the stacking pennies slogan LaJoie often uses. It’s also the name of the podcast he hosts each week.

“Rick Ware is someone who makes things happen,” LaJoie said. “He’s a great guy who has been a generous friend in helping me get this vision of Stacking Pennies Performance off the ground. He’s allowed me to put the No. 01 on his Ford Mustangs, building off the brand fans have related to, supported, and cheered for over the past several years.

“I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished and excited for what’s ahead, beginning at Daytona with DuraMAX and Take 5 Oil Change.”

LaJoie will serve as an analyst for Prime Video during its stretch of Cup Series races that begin with the Coca-Cola 600. Prime Video will broadcast five races as one of NASCAR’s newest media rights partners.

“In many ways, my driving career has been more successful than I ever could’ve dreamed, yet I lose sleep feeling I never reached my full potential behind the wheel,” LaJoie said. “The pursuit of bettering myself and others around me has never been more important than it is right now.

“My presence on the track will look different than it has in previous years, and it’s going to bring a new host of challenges, but my heart is set on making a lasting impact in the sport and the communities NASCAR reaches.

“Between Rick Ware, Prime Video, and the support of partners DuraMAX and Take 5 Oil Change, I’m able to follow my heart.”

Seahawks Week 17 inactives: 6 players will not play

Seahawks Week 17 inactives: 6 players will not play vs Bears

The Seattle Seahawks are less than two hours away from kicking off against the Chicago Bears on Thursday Night Football. The inactives list for both teams have dropped, and as expected running back Kenneth Walker III will not be competing Walker was added to the injured reserve list on Thursday. Unless the Seahawks somehow find their way to the NFC Championship game, Walker’s 2024 campaign is concluded.

Joining Walker on the sideline will be a few others, such as tight end Brady Russell who has missed several weeks due to his injury. While he is inactive, quarterback Jaren Hall will be listed as an emergency third-string quarterback. Given Geno Smith’s knee injury, having a little extra insurance at the most important position in all of sports isn’t a bad idea.

On the other side of the ball, 12’s should recognize another familiar name. Running back Travis Homer for the Bears is inactive. Homer was originally drafted by the Seahawks in the 6th round of the 2019 NFL draft, and Seattle is where he spent the first four years of his career. After his rookie contract expired, Homer signed a two-year deal with Chicago in 2023.

The full inactives report from both teams can be seen below.

Seahawks Inactives:

  • CB Nehemiah Pritchett
  • TE Brady Russell
  • LB Patrick O’Connell
  • T Michael Jerrell
  • WR Cody White
  • QB Jaren Hall

Bears Inactives:

  • RB Travis Homer
  • DB Tarvarius Moore
  • OL Teven Jenkins
  • DB Elijah Hicks
  • LB Noah Sewell
  • DL Zach Pickens

The Seahawks will get the ball to start the second half. Be sure to follow @TheSeahawksWire and @KoleMusgrove23 for more live updates, analysis and highlights during the game!

Chiefs DT Chris Jones reveals reason for close games this season: ‘Keep the ratings high’

Kansas City #Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones reveals reason for close games this season: ‘Keep the ratings high’ | @EdEastonJr

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones spoke with Prime Video’s NFL team hosts as part of their postgame coverage. He helped recap the team’s Week 13 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders and explained the team’s handling of late-game moments.

“I think it’s situational. Andy Reid prepares us throughout the week,” said Jones. “We do a lot of situational downs, whether it’s two minutes in the game or a long drive drill, and then training camp. We do it also going into the season.”

Jones had six tackles and two sacks in Friday’s victory, clinching a postseason spot for the defending Super Bowl champions. He jokingly explained to the panel why all the Chiefs’ wins were so close and last minute.

“We keep it close. We keep the game close to make sure you guys are watching the whole game,” said Jones. “We want to keep the ratings high.”

The charismatic All-Pro defensive tackle was an essential reason for Friday’s victory as he moved into fourth place on the franchise’s sacks list.

Chiefs Travis Kelce reveals embarrassing moment on set of ‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?’

Kansas City #Chiefs Travis Kelce reveals embarrassing moment on set of ‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?’ | @EdEastonJr

The busy off-the-field life of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is well-documented. He has a growing acting career and is continuing to get his feet wet with hosting as he’ll do the honors for Prime Video’s ‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?’ premiering October 16th.

Kelce spoke recently to TODAY.com about an embarrassing moment while filming the new series.

“I was being silly with one of my friends backstage and trying to act like I was kicking them like I was Bruce Lee, and I ripped the entire inseam on my suit pants, and it took, like, 15 minutes for somebody to come in and sew that back together for me,” said Kelce. “So that was a really embarrassing moment, and I wasted some time, some valuable time, doing it.”

The All-Pro tight end will feature many notable names on the show, including Nicole Byer, Nikki Glaser, Lala Kent, and former Cincinnati Bengals star Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, who have already been announced. It’s good to know he hasn’t lost that sense of humor while adjusting to the television hosting role.

Tim Tszyu vs. Keith Thurman to headline March 30 card on Prime Video

Tim Tszyu, a 154-pound titleholder, will face former 147-pound champ Keith Thurman at a catch weight of 155 pounds on pay-per-view March 30.

Premier Boxing Champions first pay-per-view show under its new deal with Amazon’s Prime Video will feature several big names.

WBO 154-pound titleholder Tim Tszyu is scheduled to face former 147-pound champ Keith Thurman at a catch weight of 155 in the main event, Premier Boxing Champions announced on Thursday. The WBO reportedly refused to sanction the matchup as a title fight.

It will be the highest profile fight in the career of Tszyu (24-0, 17 KOs), who emerged as a star after victories over Tony Harrison, Carlos Ocampo and Brian Mendoza last year.

“I’ve been ready and waiting to headline a historic event like this in the U.S. for a very long time and it’s an honor that I don’t take lightly,” said Tszyu, the son of Hall of Famer Kostya Tszyu.

“My father did it and was at the top of the world for a decade. Now it’s my turn. Thurman is a great fight. He’s tricky, tough and he’s mixed it with the very best the sport has seen. This is a new era now. It’s the Tszyu era.

“On March 30, everyone who tunes into this pay-per-view is going to see for themselves.”

Thurman (30-1, 22 KOs) hasn’t fought since February of 2022, when he easily outpointed Mario Barrios. That was his only fight in four-plus years.

“I’m back in action and I’m happy to be a part of this first event with PBC on Prime Video,” Thurman said. “Tszyu stands out as an exceptional fighter, and I’ve always held admiration for his performances.

“His distinctive style provides the perfect stage for me to exhibit the relentless dedication I’ve poured into training, refining my skills, and fortifying my mental game.”

Also on the March 30 card, 140-pound beltholder Rolando Romero (15-1, 13 KOs) will face Isaac Cruz (25-2-1, 17 KOs).

Romero won the vacant WBA title by stopping Ismael Barroso in nine rounds last May. Cruz is best known for a strong performance in defeat against 135-pound beltholder Gervonta Davis in 2021. The Mexican has won three consecutive fights since then.

“This is gonna be Rolly versus the Chihuahua in the ring on March 30. I’m gonna stay world champ and be the first superstar on Prime Video,” said Romero, who was stopped by Davis in 2022.

Said Cruz: “I’ve worked extremely hard to earn this shot. I’ve tried to fight other big names, but Rolly was the only one to step up and accept the challenge.

“He’s got power and courage, and he comes to knock you out. That’s going to make this a great fight on March 30.”

Sebastian Fundora (20-1-1, 13 KOs) and Serhii Bohachuk (23-1, 23 KOs) will face off in a battle of 154-pound contenders.

Fundora, who is 6-foot-5½, will be trying to bounce back from a seventh-round knockout loss to Mendoza last April. All of Bohachuk’s victories have come by knockout. He was stopped himself by Brandon Adams in 2020, after which he has reeled off five straight wins.

And WBA 160-pound champion Erislandy Lara (29-3-3, 17 KOs) will take on Michael Zerafa (31-4, 19 KOs).

Lara, who has fought only once a year since 2019, was last in the ring in May of 2022. Zerafa also hasn’t been particularly active, having last fought in November 2020. He has four consecutive victories since he lost a decision to former 147-pound champ Jeff Horn in 2019.
