2026 NASCAR Cup Series - Daytona 500

Finally, NASCAR is back, and the crowd is ready for their "Hell Yeah" moment. The Daytona 500 is the perfect way to start the new NASCAR year, and the 2026 season is no different. With flyovers, Nate Bargatze serving as the Grand Marshal, Bart Simpson joining in on the festivities, and a tribute to the late Dale Earnhardt, this event kicks off one of the biggest celebrations for America's 250th anniversary.

As the green flag waved, the new NASCAR season officially began. In Stage 1, on Lap 3, drivers slowed down to honor the late Dale Earnhardt, while the crowd waved three fingers as a sign of respect. As the action resumed, William Byron got hit by the No.78 car, not to mention Byron hitting the wall a few laps later.

Zane Smith secured his first-ever NASCAR stage win after Stage 1. However, Stage 2 saw increased trouble as Connor Zilisch, Chase Briscoe, and several others were involved in a significant crash known as "The Big One." Unfortunately, things could have been worse, as another major incident occurred on Lap 124. Bubba Wallace ultimately won Stage 2 under caution. In the final stage of the season opener, Denny Hamlin collided with Christopher Bell with less than 10 laps remaining.

GOAT (The Movie)

Sony Pictures Animation, the studio that brought you the Spider-Verse and last year's megahit K-POP Demon Hunters, joined forces with NBA superstar Stephen Curry to create a coming-of-age animated sports movie about a little goat who will show us how it's done, done, done. Get it?

GOAT (The Movie)

"GOAT" is a coming-of-age sports story about a young goat named Will Harris. He gains the opportunity of a lifetime by joining the renowned Roarball team, the Vineland Thorns. This development does not sit well with Jett Fillmore, a star player who is starting to show signs of aging. Despite the challenges and differences, Will proves to the Thorns that they have what it takes to win the championship.

Although it may not reach the same level of success as the studios' top works like Spider-Verse and KPDH, this fun family movie delivers an important message: it's not about how big you are, but how good you are, even in the world of basketball. While it may feel like a mashup of Zootopia and Space Jam, the themes of coming-of-age, determination, teamwork, and morale make this film unique.

If you love the Spider-Verse and K-POP Demon Hunters, but you want an inspirational sports movie that touches, consider watching GOAT. From start to finish, this is what it (ahem) sounds like. No more hiding. This animated sports movie is shining like it was born to be. Oops. Sorry.
