Kevin Harvick’s car died on the track and was taken to the garage to reload a key component — an ECU, or engine control unit. Soon thereafter, Logano hit the wall again. It appeared to be a right-side tire problem, and it was a hard hit in Turn 2 on Lap 157....

The Launch of the Inauguration Day Filter While Donald Trump has been banned from Snapchat, Biden is collaborating with the platform. On January 19, 2021, Biden’s team will release a special filter on Snapchat. This is because the combination of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and Capitol riot that took place on January 6, 2021 have made the traditional festivities impossible. The filter works for both the front and back cameras. When using the front camera, users will be able to take a selfie in front of the Capitol with falling confetti in red, blue, and gold....

Conservative critics of Biden seized on the video to suggest he was in poor health or even suffering from dementia—a Donald Trump campaign attack line for which there is no evidence.

Videos capturing the moment have been widely shared on social media, one Twitter post having been viewed more than 11 million times in less than a day....
