JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Shell Pennzoil Ford Fusion -- HOW EXCITED WERE YOU TO SEE LAST SEASON END AND THIS YEAR START GIVEN YOUR STRUGGLES LAST YEAR? “Very. Last year was more of a struggle than any of us expected for sure. I thought toward the end of the year that we started to make some speed back in our race car.

To get down here and have a good run in the Clash and have all three Penske cars up front was fun to see. Читать дальше...

The only predictable thing about figure skating is that the sport is unpredictable. Every time a skater steps onto the ice, there’s always a sense that something could go splendidly right or disastrously wrong — and we, as viewers, never know what we’re going to get.

But it’s not just skaters’ performances that can leave our jaws on the floor; sometimes it’s the judges’ decisions too.

The scoring system that’s currently used for all competitive figure skating ... Читать дальше...

KEVIN HARVICK -- No. 4 Ford Fusion -- AT THIS POINT IN YOUR CAREER DOES IT FEEL LIKE CHAMPIONSHIP OR BUST?  “There are a lot of things still to accomplish.  You want to win and you want to be competitive on a week-to-week basis, so that’s the initial goal because there are so many of those goals.  But the ultimate goal is to put yourself in posiition to win a championship.  We’ve kind of been spoiled a little bit to have those opportunities year-in and year-out in the first four years at Stewart-Haas Racing.

It's also one that is so bleak and unpleasant to sit through, and sit with afterward, that I could honestly only recommend "Loveless" with extreme caution, if at all. The film from director Andrey Zvyagintsev (the mastermind behind the similarly bleak "Leviathan") focuses in on Zhenya (Maryana Spivak) and Boris (Aleksey Rozin),... Читать дальше...
