After Mother Nature wiped out four of the first seven Selinsgrove Ford Appalachian Mountain Speedweek dates, New Jersey’s Bridgeport Motorsports Park played host to fourth-round miniseries action Sunday.

Gregg Satterlee came on strong down the stretch, leading the final 17 of 40 laps for his second victory of Appalachian Speedweek that came 3.7 seconds over Bryan Bernheisel. Jakob Piper edged out USAC Sprint Car full-timer Briggs Danner, who made his Late Model debut, for third.

Trever Feathers commanded the opening 23 laps before his left-rear tire eventually went flat. Satterlee passed Feathers for the lead on a lap-24 restart in a race that featured six cautions, but by then Feathers said he felt his left-rear going flat.

Sunday was supposed to be the miniseries finale, but Speedweek director Jim Bernheisel announced at the drivers’ meeting he’s rescheduled the minitour date at Selinsgrove (Pa.) Speedway for July 11, which now serves as the fifth and final event.

Logistics, the torque powering motorsport, and Middle East momentum

The roar of Formula 1, the thrill of a Riyadh concert, the spectacle of a Dubai exhibition, these iconic moments dazzle the world. But behind the scenes, logistics powers it all.

The roar of Formula 1, the thrill of a Riyadh concert, the spectacle of a Dubai exhibition, these iconic moments dazzle the world. But behind the scenes, logistics powers it all. From timed deliveries to seamless setups, companies like DHL aren’t just support; they’re the silent force turning vision into reality, ensuring every light, sound, and movement hits the mark with precision.

The Middle East’s mega event boom is no accident. With strategic investments in infrastructure, tourism, and cultural capital, countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia are turning the region into a global epicenter for entertainment, sports, and business showcases. According to forecasts, the Middle East events market is set to hit a staggering $76.67 billion by 2028.

But what the numbers don’t show is the incredible operational feat behind the scenes. These events aren’t just displays of glamour; they’re logistical marvels. Every component from custom-built staging and light rigs to climate-sensitive musical equipment and high-definition broadcasting tools must arrive on time and in flawless condition.

That complexity is amplified when stages need to be replicated across borders in a matter of days, think a music tour hopping from Muscat to Jeddah to Abu Dhabi. Transporting hundreds of tonnes of equipment across multiple cities isn’t a creative exaggeration; it’s standard operating procedure.

Speed, Strategy, Precision

What makes event logistics in the Middle East uniquely challenging? It’s a cocktail of unpredictable weather, complex regional regulations, and the sheer scale of operations. Navigating the patchwork of customs requirements across Gulf nations demands not just precision documentation but also trusted local partnerships.

Environmental conditions add another layer of intensity; 50°C heatwaves, sandstorms, and humidity-sensitive cargo can all derail the best-laid plans. And yet, time and again, logistics providers like DHL pull off high-pressure feats across tight timelines.

That same precision is being deployed on the world’s fastest stages, Formula 1, Formula 2, and Formula 3. In a major development, DHL has now been appointed as the Global Logistics Partner for the FIA, the governing body of world motorsport. This extends their role beyond Formula 1 to include transport, setup, and maintenance of essential racing infrastructure such as mobile offices, garages, and racetrack signaling systems. It’s a testament to the trust placed in their speed, reliability, and execution under pressure.

“We share essential values such as safety, quality, speed, and precision,” and we are both deeply committed to sustainability. said Paul Fowler, Head of Global Motorsports Logistics at DHL.

Established in 1904, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) initially embarked on a mission to establish consistent governance and safety standards in the realm of motor sport. Today, it serves as the global governing body for premier racing championships, including Formula 1, Formula 2, and Formula 3, while also driving innovation, sustainability, and fairness across the motorsport ecosystem.

Tech-powered resilience

One of the biggest shifts transforming logistics today is digitization. Real-time shipment tracking, emissions monitoring, and predictive simulations of potential delays now form the backbone of major event logistics. These tools don’t just solve problems, they help anticipate them.

For example, DHL’s “Stretch” robot, developed with Boston Dynamics, can autonomously unload up to 700 packages per hour, easing pressure during high-density event windows like back-to-back race weekends or large expos. In pressure-cooker moments, such speed and consistency make a difference.

As part of their FIA partnership, DHL will operate trucks in Europe powered by Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a low-emission alternative fuel, aligning motorsport logistics with decarbonization goals. It’s a small but significant step in making one of the world’s fastest industries greener.

Sustainability in motion

With mega events come mega emissions, but that narrative is evolving. DHL and other providers are embedding sustainability into their operations, from electric delivery trucks and AI-powered route optimization to biofuel-powered aircraft and smart, reusable packaging.

Even temperature-controlled containers are being reimagined to reduce energy consumption while keeping sensitive gear safe. These aren’t optional upgrades anymore; they’re mission-critical, especially with governments pushing for greener events.

“Pushing for greater sustainability across both motorsport and mobility is a priority for the FIA. This partnership with DHL is a great opportunity to drive sustainable practices across our industry,” said Craig Edmondson, FIA’s Chief Commercial Officer.

As mega events expand across the Gulf, logistics is becoming a crucial partner in meeting net-zero ambitions. It’s no longer enough to move fast; movement must now be clean, efficient, and transparent.

More than just delivery

Vision of a global stage for entertainment, sports, and innovation, the demand for logistics will only intensify. But this is no longer a support role; it’s a strategic function.

Companies like DHL aren’t just delivering goods, they’re making sure everything needed for the show to go on arrives exactly when and where it should. Whether it’s a Formula 1 race or a major concert, their role is critical to the success of every event on the calendar.

The story behind the spotlight

When logistics succeeds, it disappears because nothing goes wrong. There’s a certain poetry to the fact that logistics, by nature, seeks no applause. It exists to support, to streamline, to make others shine, not just for delivering events, but for delivering the future.

Brenda Pressley begins her Broadway run in Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning play Purpose on July 15. She takes over the role of matriarch Claudine Jasper, replacing the production’s original Tony-nominated Claudine, LaTanya Richardson Jackson.

Pressley began her theatrical career in And Still I Rise, written and directed by Maya Angelou, and has performed on Broadway in the original company of Dreamgirls, as well as in The Lyons opposite Linda Lavin, Richard Greenberg’s The American Plan and Cats. Pressley joins the current acclaimed ensemble of Purpose, which includes Jon Michael Hill, Harry Lennix, Glenn Davis, Alana Arenas and Kara Young.

Set in the home of a powerful Black family, Purpose follows the return of the youngest son—and an unexpected guest—that forces the Jaspers to confront faith, identity and the echoes of Black radicalism. The production earned six 2025 Tony Award nominations, with nods for Hill, Lennix, Davis and Jackson, and wins for Best Play and for Young’s featured performance (her second consecutive Tony win). 

Directed by Phylicia Rashad, Purpose will run at the Hayes Theater through August 31.

Nascar blasts 23XI and FRM’s ‘unnecessary and inappropriate’ injunction

  • 23XI and FRM have to return charters to Nascar on 16th July
  • Teams claim the sport will sell its charters immediately, putting them in ‘irreparable jeopardy’

Nascar has dismissed the latest attempt from 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports (FRM) to retain their charters as ‘unnecessary and inappropriate’.

In June, the US Court of Appeals overturned the injunction agreed in December 2024 that allowed 23XI and FRM to compete in the Nascar Cup Series and receive the same benefits as other chartered teams while still pursuing their lawsuit against the series.

But 23XI and FRM have now filed a motion for another temporary restraining order and a new preliminary injunction that, if approved, would enable them to retain their charters until the court case finally takes place in December later this year.

Both teams have cited new evidence that Nascar plans to ‘immediately move to sell or issue Plaintiffs’ charters to other entities – putting Plaintiffs in irreparable jeopardy of never getting their charters back and going out of business’. The pair claim to have received a letter from Nascar confirming this intention.

Nascar has dismissed the attempted injunction and wants a response from the courts by 16th July, and has also claimed that 23XI and FRM are refusing to return the money they earned under the 2025 charters thus far.

‘It is unfortunate that instead of respecting the clear rulings of the Fourth Circuit, 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports are now burdening the District Court with a third motion for another unnecessary and inappropriate preliminary injunction,’ Nascar said in a statement.

‘As both the Fourth Circuit and the District Court suggested, Nascar has made multiple requests to 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports to present a proposal to resolve this litigation. We have yet to receive a proposal from 23XI or Front Row, as they have instead preferred to continue their damaging and distracting lawsuit.

‘We will defend Nascar’s integrity from this baseless lawsuit forced upon the sport that threatens to divide the stakeholders committed to serving race fans everywhere. We remain focused on collaborating with the 13 race teams that signed the 2025 charter agreements and share our mutual goal of delivering the best racing in the world each week, including this weekend in Dover.’

23XI and FRM have three charters each which are worth tens of millions of dollars. With only 36 charters across the Cup Series, six charters becoming available at once would result in intense external interest and, with that, the likely demise of both 23XI and FRM.

If the teams were to continue as open entries for the rest of the season, they would earn less than a third of what a chartered team makes for competing in a race. FRM team owner Bob Jenkins claimed in the original injunction that the payout from the purse would be so low as an open entry that it would not cover the costs of going to the racetrack.

BlackBook says…

Much to Nascar’s chagrin, this saga continues to rumble in the background of the current Cup Series season.

23XI and FRM are showing no signs of backing down, issuing a statement highlighting the ‘irreparable harm’ that would be done if the charters were sold by Nascar, while asserting that the new information ‘overwhelmingly supports our position that a preliminary injunction is legally warranted and necessary’.

This latest development could spell trouble for Nascar. Their apparent intention to sell the teams’ charters immediately could serve as evidence of the anti-competitive behaviour alleged by 23XI and FRM in the original lawsuit.

Indeed, Nascar risks losing basketball icon Michael Jordan, who co-owns 23XI and is a considerable marketing asset for the series. With overall TV viewership already in decline, can Nascar afford to lose such an iconic American figure? Only time will tell.

N.J.’s historic Raceway Park: Will iconic drag racing venue become affordable housing?

One of New Jersey’s oldest motorsports raceways could be redeveloped to make way for hundreds of affordable housing units.

One of New Jersey’s oldest motorsports raceways could be redeveloped to make way for hundreds of affordable housing units.

Old Bridge Raceway Park, a nationally known motorsports complex in Middlesex County, is one of three sites township officials have identified to help meet its court-mandated affordable housing obligations.

The 534-acre property, located in the Englishtown section of the township, opened in 1965 and has long been used for racing and entertainment.

According to township documents, 29 parcels in the southeastern portion of the site are now being considered for a 600-unit affordable housing development.

Alongside housing, the plan also calls for a mix of retail and commercial uses, while preserving parts of the airpark and existing motorsports facilities.

Raceway Park, founded by the Napp family, once featured two dragstrips, multiple motocross tracks, a road course, go-kart racing and more. It became nationally known as a longtime host of the NHRA Summernationals, an annual drag racing competition.

It was also known around New Jersey for its iconic “Raceway Park!” television and radio commercials that featured fast cars and loud music.

The Napp family announced the end of drag racing at the park in 2018, citing rising costs that had become unaffordable for its mostly amateur racing crowd. The drag strip was later converted into an outdoor concert venue, while the rest of the property remains in use for motocross, go-karts, flea markets and other events.

In May 2023, the Old Bridge Township Council approved an ordinance to rezone a portion of the raceway for single-family homes, according to officials. The Napp family, which owns the site, sued the township, arguing the zoning change would strip them of their ability to use the land.

As part of ongoing settlement talks, both sides agreed to explore redevelopment options. In response, the planning board passed a resolution at its June 26 meeting to begin the process of determining whether the raceway qualifies as an “area in need of redevelopment.”

The Napp family and their attorney could not be immediately reached for comment.

The push to redevelop Raceway Park comes as Old Bridge, like other towns across New Jersey, faces mounting pressure to meet state-mandated affordable housing requirements. Under a controversial directive, municipalities across the state must add or rehabilitate more than 146,000 affordable housing units by 2035. Old Bridge is expected to contribute 673 units over the next decade.

The township council filed a court appeal against the state last month challenging that number, according to local officials.

Old Bridge Township Council President Mary Sohor declined to comment on the township’s affordable housing plans Friday due to the pending lawsuit.

However, at the meeting in which the Raceway Park resolution was passed, planning board members said the affordable housing requirements are pushing the township toward overdevelopment. They called the state’s obligations unfair.

“If it were up to me, I’d put up a ‘closed for building’ sign in this town,” board member Erik DePalma said. “It’s disgusting. If we don’t comply, we get sued. So in the end, we really don’t have a choice.”

NASCAR teams 23XI and Front Row seek urgent court order to retain charters

The two race teams suing NASCAR over antitrust allegations filed for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction Monday to be recognized as chartered organizations for the remainder of 2025.

23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports are locked in a lengthy legal battle over the charter system, which is the equivalent of the franchise model in other sports. 23XI, owned by retired NBA great Michael Jordan and three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin, and Front Row, owned by entrepreneur Bob Jenkins, last September rejected NASCAR’s final proposal on extensions and instead filed an antitrust suit.

The case is winding its way through the court system but now with urgency: the teams were set to lose their charters Wednesday and in the latest filing, they allege NASCAR has indicated it will immediately begin the process of selling the six tags that guarantee entry into every race as well as monetary rewards and other benefits.

After the filing NASCAR was ordered to respond by 5 p.m. Wednesday — which means there would be no ruling on if the charters will be revoked likely until Thursday, at the earliest.

“Today we filed a motion in the district court for a renewed preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order to protect the teams’ ability to race chartered for the remainder of the 2025 Cup Series season and prevent irreparable business harm to 23XI and Front Row Motorsports until we can present our case at trial in December,” said Jeffery Kessler, attorney for the teams.

“New information surfaced through the discovery process that overwhelmingly supports our position that a preliminary injunction is legally warranted and necessary. The teams’ love of stock car racing and belief in a better future for the sport for all parties – teams, drivers, employees, sponsors, and fans – continues to motivate their efforts to pursue this antitrust case.”

There were large portions of the filing redacted because the arguments are based on information learned through discovery, making it confidential, for now. But, the urgency is likely tied to NASCAR indicating it plans to immediately begin selling the charters if they are revoked.

Should the teams have their six combined charters revoked, the drivers would have to qualify on speed to make each week’s race and would receive a smaller percentage of the purse. They may also have to refund money paid out through the first 20 races of the year.

NASCAR accused 23XI and Front Row of filing “a third motion for another unnecessary and inappropriate preliminary injunction” and noted it has made multiple requests to the teams “to present a proposal to resolve this litigation.”

“We have yet to receive a proposal from 23XI or Front Row, as they have instead preferred to continue their damaging and distracting lawsuit,” NASCAR said in a statement. “We will defend NASCAR’s integrity from this baseless lawsuit forced upon the sport that threatens to divide the stakeholders committed to serving race fans everywhere.

“We remain focused on collaborating with the 13 race teams that signed the 2025 charter agreements and share our mutual goal of delivering the best racing in the world each week, including this weekend in Dover.”

Also on Monday, Rick Ware Racing and Legacy Motor Club had a short virtual hearing in a North Carolina court over their fight for a charter.

Legacy, owned by seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson, contends it had an agreement with RWR to lease one of its two charters in 2026. RWR contends the agreement was for 2027 and it already has a contract with RFK Racing to lease that team a charter next season.

Legacy on Monday asked for and was granted the right to depose RWR over the recent revelation that T.J. Puchyr, one of the founders of Spire Motorsports, plans to purchase the race team. Legacy contends if Ware is selling the team, then one of the charters should be transferred to its organization.

Legacy also argued that Ware did not disclose he was entering into a sales agreement with a third party — Puchyr, who is now a consultant and brokered the initial lease deal between RWR and Legacy — in an April hearing. The judge in that case warned that RWR could be in contempt of court if it misrepresented its intentions in the first hearing.
