Busch had a great run Friday to take the pole away from Erik Jones, who posted a very good time early in qualifying, but Busch’s lead was short-lived as Keselowski took it away just one lap later. This comes one week after Keselowski got on Busch’s nerves at Kentucky when he cut him off during a lap, which made Busch motion to him out his window in frustration.

Blaney beat out Kevin Harvick (second) and Kyle Busch (fifth), who were extremely close behind and also ran sub-51 second laps. “We made a great, great change before the last round to figure out what we need,” Blaney told Fox Sports 2 after his run. “I didn’t hit Turn 1 very good my first two rounds and finally figured out a better way to get through there and it helped us out a lot with the changes....

The Red Sox said Eovaldi has “a loose body in his right elbow.” Left-hander Bobby Poyner was called up from Triple-A Pawtucket to fill Eovaldi’s roster spot. The Boston Globe reported that Eovaldi will see Dr. Chris Ahmad on Monday, but is leaning toward having minor elbow surgery because he “feels like he can return quickly.” Eovaldi is 0-0 with a 6.00 ERA in four starts this season.

Separate to those, gangs of violent, thuggish, rioting looters and agitators are now engaged in a rash of dangerous, criminal behavior spreading throughout America. As a result, the security role of the National Guard, originally confined during the COVID-19 era to “support for warehouse and commodity management and distribution,” “conducting logistics missions in support of the state response at warehouse locations” and “advising and assisting, logistics, transportation, traffic control” is now very likely to become vital, central and extremely complex—deployed as they will be to not only disperse those gangs, but also to protect the business owners and homeowners threatened by these violent mobs....

Is Ghosn interested in making another run at a Detroit automaker? He isn’t saying. But one of his top lieutenants told NEWSWEEK that his boss remains interested in aligning with a North American partner (read: Detroit automaker). “The alliance could be extended to a third auto company,” Nissan North American senior vice president Dominique Thormann said. “The GM episode was more a confirmation of that hypothesis than anything else.” Thormann made his comments in an interview at the New York Auto Show on Wednesday—one day before Kerkorian went public with his bid for Chrysler....
