Married couple entering same NASCAR race at Bristol
Stewart and Jessica Friesen will attempt to become the first married couple to compete against each other in the same NASCAR national series race at Bristol Motor Speedway in the Camping World Truck Series event.
Ryan Blaney put in a hard day's work to earn the checkered flag at the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday, but wasted no time giving it away.

The Team Penske driver took the lead from Kyle Larson with nine laps to go and held him off to score his fifth career Cup Series win and first of the 2021 season.
Blaney parked his car at the finish line and walked over to the catch fence to grab the flag, then called over a young boy wearing a T-shirt with him on it, gave him a fist-bump and slipped the flag through the fence.
The boy hesitated before accepting it and walking back to his family with the gift.
