It’s Monday. Tyler Reddick won the 2026 Daytona 500 in dramatic fashion, passing for the lead on the final lap and surviving a late crash to grab the checkers in NASCAR’s biggest race. Driving for 23XI Racing, he led only the last lap but capitalized on chaos in the closing miles to beat Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (2nd) and Joey Logano (3rd), with Chase Elliott finishing 4th. The race featured multiple wrecks and a wild finish typical of Daytona, officially kicking off the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season. Hot damn tamale baby, NASCAR is back and all is good in the universe again!

Did everyone survive Valentine’s Day? I think I did it right this year. I grabbed the girlfriend her favorite pink roses and took her to a seafood place that we’ve been talking about forever. The food was so good we briefly considered ordering a second dinner, and the only thing that got buttered more than the scallops was my reputation as a halfway decent boyfriend. All in all, solid night, no complaints.

It’s Friday! I’m not sure what kind of meteorological miracle is happening, but Illinois is in the middle of a full-blown heat wave. We’ve had several days above freezing already, and now the forecast says temps will climb into the 50s and higher through the weekend and into next week. For February, that’s basically as close as it gets to summer weather this time of the year!

NASCAR ran the final two preseason races last night in Daytona. Known as the Duel races, they are a pair of short qualifying races held before the Daytona 500 each year at Daytona International Speedway. They set the starting lineup for the Daytona 500 (except the front row, which is determined by single-car qualifying) and give teams a final chance to race in pack conditions before the season officially begins. They’re considered preseason events, but they still matter because drivers race hard to lock into the Daytona 500 field and to start as close to the front as possible.

And… after a 13-year absence, Ram is officially back in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Even wilder—behind the wheel of the No. 25 Ram for Kaulig Racing is three-time Cup Series champion Tony Stewart. Definitely going to be watching that later tonight!

Alright, with Valentine’s Day landing tomorrow, I figured we’d mix things up a bit. Not only is there a special Valentine amateur photo, but I’m also swapping the usual Friday double babes to feature a massive Valentine’s Day gallery. Pretty good deal, eh? Have an awesome Valentine’s Day and… enjoy!

Keep, Hey Valentine’s day is coming and i thought you might like to share this picture of my wife in her new red panties for Valentine’s day. Thanks for all your hard work and maintaining such a high level of dedication running such a fine website. Cheers! -Anonymous

It’s Thursday. This time of year you never know what Mother Nature is going to throw at you, so it’s important to be prepared for anything. One of my readers recently sent in a photo of an action-figure set that shows how they handle winter in Pennsylvania.

First and foremost is having the proper winter attire. The Pennsylvania action figure is bundled up in a warm hoodie, gloves, boots, and a pair of shorts. Because if your legs are numb, the cold can’t hurt you.

But clothing alone won’t carry you through a Keystone State winter. You also need the right gear. This Pennsylvanian action-figure comes fully loaded with the essentials: a lawn chair, a package of Mrs. T’s Pierogies, pizza, a snow shovel, a bag of ice melt, a gallon of milk, two bottles of hard liquor, and of course, two cases of Yuengling.

Is it a survival kit? A tailgate? A snow day starter pack? In Pennsylvania, the answer is yes.

Hi Keep. JBK here in Whitehall PA with an action figure that shows how we here in Pennsylvania prepare for and ride out a snow storm! LOL
