The stage is finally set for the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship 4! And it’s shaping up to be a showdown between old rivals. JR Motorsports, powered by Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s driver development machine, has dominated the deck with top three contenders: Connor Zilisch, Justin Allgaier, and Carson Kvapil. Each one carved out their own path to Phoenix: Zilisch’s dominance, Allgaier’s clutch wins, and Kvapil’s gritty fight at Martinsville.

But the outsider standing in their way is the 20-year-old sensation from Richard Childress Racing, Jesse Love, ready to ruin the JRM sweep. It’s a David vs. Goliath situation when team pride, experience and youth clash. So, as all roads lead to the desert, the question is, when the lights go green, can the RCR’s young gun be able to overcome Dale Jr.’s triple threat?

Will Connor Zilisch be able to chase history?

Because of his quick ascent, Connor Zilisch has become one of the most-watched drivers in NASCAR’s Xfinity Series. His one-sided dominance this year with ten wins is convincing enough to picture him as the title winner. Just 18 months ago, Zilisch made headlines with late models and sports cars, and today, he is already the regular season champion and has guided JR Motorsports to three Championship 4 drivers.

His poise under playoff pressure is remarkable. Very few rookies excel in chaotic cut-off races like Charlotte and Daytona, yet Zilisch has proved resilient in every environment by clinching the top spot. The teenage star has a tactical advantage in the title decider since he is equally at ease on ovals as on road courses.

With ten wins (including a record 17 consecutive top-five finishes), a series-leading average finish, and confident support from teammates Justin Allgaier and Carson Kvapil, Zilisch faces the biggest race of his life. It’s all about keeping the nerve amid the Phoenix intensity, and a championship title isn’t far away.

Can Justin Allgaier push for a second consecutive NASCAR Xfinity title?

While newbie Connor Zilisch chases history, on the opposite end of the JR Motorsports garage sits a man who’s been here before: Justin Allgaier, his team boss, Dale Jr.’s favorite to win the championship. Allgaier is no stranger to pressure, having thrived under playoff scrutiny last season to clinch the 2024 Xfinity championship title for JR Motorsports. Now, the seasoned pro is back as the defending champ in the spotlight, seeking a rare repeat as three of his teammates battle alongside him.

Allgaier’s strengths are experience and adaptability – qualities that have kept him consistently at the front throughout the 2025 campaign, especially on Phoenix’s distinctive, low-banked oval, where he has enjoyed two wins and multiple top-5 and top-10 finishes. With three wins this season and some crucial stage points earned in nearly every playoff round, he’s proven that raw speed isn’t his only weapon.

The question at Phoenix: can Allgaier channel the grit and cool-headedness from his 2024 run once again, and fend off his hungry teammates and rookies for a landmark second title? History isn’t always kind to defending champions. But in Allgaier’s case, his blend of wisdom and pace could certainly make 2025 “the year of orange” for the #7 team one more time.

Can Jesse Love’s rookie season turn into a championship dream?

While Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s horsemen gear up to bring the trophy to Mooresville, there’s one driver standing in the way of the team’s dream sweep.

Richard Childress Racing’s 20-year-old phenom, Jesse Love, who’s been the wildcard all season long, has shown some remarkable versatility and fearless approach in his rookie year, even as the odds sometimes stacked against the No. 2 Chevrolet.

But Love’s campaign was far from flawless. Pit-road miscues, late-stage adversity, and penalties (seen as recently as Martinsville) have threatened to derail his charge. Yet he has consistently clawed back, culminating in a gritty advance to the Championship 4.

With a high-pressure win at the season opener at Daytona and a string of eight top-fives, Love has shown he belongs among the sport’s elite. His powerful adaptability and rebounding nature set him apart from his competitors.

He’s outperformed expectations in one of the most competitive rookie crops in years, and the Phoenix finale now gives him the chance to carve out a legacy as one of the youngest champions ever.

One thing is certain. If Love can manage the unique demands and nerves of Phoenix, Childress may have its first Xfinity title since Tyler Reddick’s 2019 run.

Can Carson Kvapil’s quiet consistency put him in the spotlight?

While Zilisch and Love have racked up headlines and Allgaier has muscled through tight playoff rounds, Carson Kvapil’s story is defined by relentless steadiness. Though winless, his second rank speaks for itself. Kvapil rarely dominated with flair, but he nearly always delivered top-10s and, importantly, finished races. A trait that finally paid off with advancement to this year’s Championship 4.

Martinsville exemplified his approach: a late spin, a rapid recovery, and just enough points to squeak past Brandon Jones into the title hunt. Kvapil’s JR Motorsports crew is laser-focused on execution, extracting stage points and avoiding DNFs, and that’s made him a true contender without a win in 2025.

Kvapil will need to rely on his clever racecraft when he enters Phoenix. He needs to avoid difficulties and find his place when it counts most, just like he has done all season. Kvapil’s goal in the finale is to seize the moment, not to show off. His calm consistency might end up being the difference in the Xfinity title race if he can hold his ground against his headline-grabbing opponents.

Parting thoughts

The NASCAR Xfinity Championship 4 is set. Three powerhouse JR Motorsports drivers and one fearless RCR rookie, all chasing the same prize under the desert sun. Each has their own path, their own motivation, and their own shot at glory. When the green flag drops in Phoenix, only one name will be written into NASCAR history. So, who do you think will rise above the chaos to claim the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series crown?

The Toronto Blue Jays have spent much of their season making opposing pitchers look ordinary. That is, until Game 2 of the World Series came, and everything changed. At the Rogers Centre, their bats went quiet, and so did the raging crowd. Yoshinobu Yamamoto took the mound, and the same unstoppable Jays fence hit a wall!

The Dodgers right-hander delivered a 105-pitch complete-game masterpiece, and it silenced the league’s hottest lineup. It was 5-1, and LA, with that win, evened out the series. It was Yamamoto’s second consecutive complete game in the postseason.

It is something no one has ever done since Curt Schilling back in 2001! And Blue Jays manager John Schneider is not taking this loss lightly; in fact, he had a clear message and a confession post-game.

— MLB Network (@MLBNetwork) October 26, 2025

“He was that good,” Schneider said. “That first inning was probably our best chance. After that, chances were rare. Second complete game in a row in the postseason—that’s impressive. He made it hard for us to make him work.” And honestly, Toronto early on had the chance to keep its offensive magic alive. Yoshinobu Yamamoto needed 23 pitches to escape a first and third, no-out jam in the opening inning. Clement reached in the second after Freeman lost a routine pop-up. George Springer then tied the game 1-1 in the third when he came home on Kirk’s sacrifice fly. For a brief moment, Jays fans were beaming off that energy. But that was it.

Then, Yoshinobu Yamamoto retired the final 20 batters he faced!

He froze the Jays’ lineup that had been averaging 6.8 runs per game this postseason! His funky delivery and six-pitch arsenal left Toronto simply guessing all night. Only two hitters on the Jays’ roster had faced him before, and the result showed. This loss was a stark contrast from the Dodgers’ Game 1 loss, when Blake Snell was chased after giving up five runs. Now the focus, though, is Game 3 and Tyler Glasnow. Schneider had one message for the upcoming game: “Right now, we’re worried about Glasnow. But we’re good at adjusting. We always are.”

So, game 3 in LA might be when the Jays go back into answering mode. Because, screaming, “we don’t need you” to Ohtani, clearly didn’t rattle the Dodgers!

Can Tyler Glasnow derail the Blue Jays’ World Series run?

There is no doubt about the capability that Tyler Glasnow has. The 32-year-old right-hander has thrown 13⅓ ⅓ innings over three postseason appearances and struck out 18 and allowed just one earned run. He has looked unstoppable, whether starting or coming out of the bullpen.

And his last outing with the Brewers was classic Glasnow—eight strikeouts, one earned run, and a handful of hits and walks over 5⅔ innings. So, when John Schneider says that they are worried about Glasnow, there is a huge reason for it.

But to counter him, Schneider is sending none other than Max Scherzer. In fact, right after the ALCS win, Schneider revealed that Scherzer showed up to him asking, “When am I starting in the World Series?” Schneider then laughed it off, but now, finally, the three-time Cy Young winner will get the ball in Game 3 against Glasnow. Scherzer’s postseason story this season has been wild, to say the least. He was left off the Division Series roster, made just one start, and then was crushed in Game 4 of the ALCS with two runs allowed over 5⅔ innings and earned his eighth career playoff win.

Now at 41 years old, he is the oldest pitcher to start a postseason game since Jamie Moyer in 2008—and he is thankful for the spot. “That is what you play for, to get to this spot. So many great players never get here, or only once. I feel fortunate to have another crack at it.” Monday’s game will be his test for sure!

La cantante Lily Allen ha ofrecido pistas sobre la identidad de “Madeline”, la mujer mencionada en su nuevo álbum, *West End Girl*, y parece tener mucho que decir sobre su inspiración lírica. “La intimidad es inherentemente un desastre. Normalmente existen límites establecidos en las relaciones, pero si esos límites se cumplen o no, se ha convertido en una zona gris de repente”, declaró Allen, de 40 años, a *The Times of London* el sábado 25 de octubre, en un perfil publicado. “Las aplicaciones de citas hacen que la gente sea desechable y eso lleva a la idea de que si no estás contento, hay mucho más por elegir, todo en tu bolsillo.”

En *West End Girl*, Allen acusa a su pareja – presumiblemente su exposo, el protagonista de *Stranger Things*, David Harbour – de ser infiel con una mujer llamada Madeline. El nombre se menciona por primera vez en la canción “Tennis”. “Así que leí tu mensaje, y ahora me arrepiento / No puedo entender cómo has estado jugando al tenis”, canta Allen en el coro. “Si fuera solo sexo, no estaría celoso / No jugarás conmigo y ¿quién es Madeline?”

Lily Allen Susurra Sobre la Posible Infidelidad de David Harbour en un “Matrimonio Abierto” en su Nuevo Álbum

Madeline se menciona nuevamente en una canción del mismo nombre, en la que Allen canta sobre enviar mensajes a la otra mujer ella misma. “Sé que esto no es tu culpa / Enviar mensajes te parece una agresión”, canta. “Vi tu mensaje, así es como lo descubrí / Dímelo a la verdad y sus motivos”.

Allen, que lanzó su nuevo álbum, su primero en siete años, el viernes 24 de octubre, y que documenta una ruptura, ha generado muchas teorías entre los fans. Se cree que *West End Girl* está basada en su matrimonio y posterior separación de Harbour, de 50 años. (La pareja estuvo casada de 2020 a 2024.) “Hice este disco en diciembre de 2024 y fue una manera de procesar lo que estaba pasando en mi vida”, dijo Allen a *British Vogue* anteriormente este mes. “Hay cosas que están en el disco que experimenté dentro de mi matrimonio, pero eso no significa que sea la verdad absoluta. Está inspirado en lo que pasó en la relación”.

Harbour no ha respondido públicamente a las acusaciones de infidelidad de Allen, solo abordó su separación una vez. (Us Weekly solicitó comentarios.) “Soy protector de las personas y la realidad de mi vida”, dijo Harbour a GQ en abril. “No hay ninguna utilidad en ese tipo de participación [con los rumores] porque todo se basa en exageraciones histéricas”.

Antes de casarse con Harbour, Allen se casó con Sam Cooper en 2011. Se separaron en 2018 después de tener hijas Ethel, ahora 13, y Marnie, ahora 12.

*West End Girl* ya está disponible.

Cleveland, OH – Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam has issued a strong endorsement of head coach Kevin Stefanski’s future despite the team’s current struggles and recent criticism. The statement, made during an interview with The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, comes as the Browns sit at 2-5 and face a crucial Week 8 matchup against the New England Patriots.

Haslam emphasized his belief in Stefanski’s capabilities, stating that the coach “did a really good job with us” and highlighted the importance of identifying leadership during challenging periods. He specifically referenced Stefanski’s actions during last week’s critical game, acknowledging the need for leadership when the team faces adversity.

The Browns’ recent performance has been significantly impacted by the acquisition of quarterback Deshaun Watson in 2022. Watson’s tenure with the team has yielded disappointing results, consisting of just 19 games played and a passer rating of 80.7, with 3,365 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. The team committed to Watson with a five-year, fully guaranteed $230 million contract, extending through the 2026 season and carrying substantial cap implications for the following years.

Despite the challenges, Haslam expressed confidence that Stefanski can address roster issues and lead the team to a more competitive position. The Browns’ dominant victory over the Miami Dolphins last week, spearheaded by running back Quinshon Judkins, demonstrated the team’s potential and renewed confidence.

Looking ahead, the Browns’ Week 8 game against the Patriots will be a critical test for both Stefanski and the team. The success or failure of this game will significantly influence the future direction of the Browns’ season and potentially determine the long-term fate of their head coach. The Dawg Pound will closely monitor the team’s response, but within the building, a core of trust and belief remains, giving Stefanski the time he needs to steer the ship through the current storm.

The Crimson Tide was locked in a nail-biter with the Gamecocks, trading blows back and forth and hearts racing with each snap. Just when it looked like South Carolina might steal this win, Germie Bernard came through with two jaw-dropping touchdowns in the closing few minutes to secure a 29-22 victory. The stadium roared as Alabama pulled off yet another epic comeback. In the midst of all this excitement, Alabama fans caught up with some news with the AD, Greg Byrne, on X about the “Yea Alabama,” the school’s NIL collective.

Greg wrote in his X post, “Nuestro objetivo es 50.000 miembros @yea_ala! Tan solo con 5 dólares al mes por acceso digital. Como parte de nuestro plan a largo plazo para @UA_Athletics!” #RollTide.

Doug Killough, Director de Marketing y Membresía de Yea Alabama, declaró: “Al reducir el costo, estamos haciendo que Yea Alabama sea más accesible, lo que permitirá a más fans involucrarse y ser parte de este mayor compromiso con nuestros estudiantes atletas”. Esto es parte del largo legado de Alabama de unir a los fans a través del orgullo y la historia compartidos. La frase “Yea Alabama” en sí misma tiene origen en la victoria de la Copa Rose de 1926 del equipo, cuando Ethelred Lundy Sykes escribió la canción de batalla que continúa reproduciéndose en el estadio. Esa canción se ha arraigado en la cultura de Alabama durante décadas, y la frase “Roll Tide!” se ha convertido en la representación definitiva del orgullo de los Crimson Tide, apareciendo al final de la canción y en cualquier lugar donde se reúnen los fans.

Hablando del entusiasmo del partido, los heroicos momentos de Germie Bernard son imposibles de ignorar. Ryan Grubb lo expresó perfectamente cuando dijo: “Era un monstruo absoluto esta noche”. Los fans tuvieron un vistazo de por qué la imagen incrustada en la publicación de Yea Alabama lo llama “un monstruo absoluto para los equipos oponentes, pero un MONSTRUO absoluto para los compañeros y los fans, pero un MONSTRUO absoluto para los equipos oponentes”. La frase “RINSE & REPEAT” de la publicación es una promesa que Bernard y Alabama están destinados a cumplir en momentos cruciales.

La confianza de Alabama en Bernard rinde grandes frutos

El partido del sábado en Columbia fue todo el caos y el corazón que los aficionados de Alabama podían pedir. El receptor senior ya había estado luchando toda la noche, y cuando la Marea Roja necesitaba un milagro, él lo entregó con dos touchdowns y una carrera Wildcat de 25 yardas para sellar la victoria. “Lo primero es decir cómo es genial Dios, y lo agradecido que estoy por poder ser victorioso para mis hermanos y poder jugar el juego que amamos. Hemos estado representando esa jugada toda la semana. El entrenador Grubb dijo que llamaría a esa jugada en un momento crucial y lo hizo, y solo teníamos que ejecutar”, dijo Bernard después del partido, vertiendo gratitud por la victoria.

Lo que hizo que esto fuera aún mejor fue la creencia del cuerpo técnico en él. Con el juego en la línea, esto fue una transmisión directa a un receptor en lugar de un desvío del mariscal de campo o una mano confiable. Bernard simplemente corrió a través de la abertura y hacia la zona de anotación sin vacilación. Ese nivel de confianza vino de la señal verde de Kalen DeBoer y Ryan Grubb. DeBoer dijo posteriormente: “El mundo que hemos visto semanalmente tiene cosas diferentes que hacemos donde está alineado en un Wildcat y sacándolo del campo de regreso, dándole tantas oportunidades y en momentos cruciales para que sea capaz de hacer un lugar para él”.

Para Bernard, este fue un momento destacado. Su desempeño el sábado solidificó su estatus como uno de los activos más confiables de la Marea Roja. La forma en que corrió, la compostura que mostró y la alegría que irradió tras ella reflejaron el liderazgo. Con DeBoer diciendo: “Tenemos toda la confianza del mundo”, los fans saben que el ataque de Alabama está redescubriendo su identidad. Bernard dijo que habían estado “representando esa jugada toda la semana”, y cuando llegó el momento, entregaron un desempeño decisivo. Es el tipo de momento que combina perfectamente las llamadas de juego audaces y el impulso de los Crimson Tide para definir una temporada y quizás incluso un legado.

Este fin de semana, el propio “Boss”, Bruce Springsteen, recibe su propio biopic con *Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere*, protagonizado por Jeremy Allen White de *The Bear*, quien interpreta a Springsteen en un punto crucial de su carrera, y la película ya está generando expectación por sus posibles premios.

En honor del estreno teatral de *Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere*, Watch With Us ha seleccionado los cinco mejores biopics musicales jamás realizados. Sorprendentemente, la mayoría de nuestras opciones fueron realizadas en el siglo XXI, a pesar de que los biopics musicales han existido durante décadas. Sin embargo, cada una de estas películas mereció su lugar en esta lista.

5. *Elvis* (2022)

El director y guionista Baz Luhrmann no escatimó gastos con *Elvis*, una narración lujosa de la vida de Elvis Presley. Austin Butler fue nominado al Oscar por su transformador interpretación del Rey, y la película rastrea su vida desde el principio de su carrera hasta el final. Butler es tan bueno en el papel que resulta difícil imaginar a alguien más interpretando a Elvis después. Tom Hanks también tiene un papel importante en la película como Colonel Tom Parker, el hombre que guio a Elvis por el camino del estrellato. Parker no siempre tiene los mejores intereses de Elvis en mente, pero nada podría detener a Presley de casarse con el amor de su vida, Priscilla Presley (Olivia DeJonge), incluso si ella era menor de edad cuando se conocieron. El drama de su vida es intrigante, pero la música de Elvis es atemporal.

*Elvis* está disponible para alquilar o comprar en Prime Video.

4. *A Complete Unknown* (2024)

Al igual que Butler, Timothée Chalamet está por recibir una nominación al Oscar tras obtener una nominación al Mejor Actor por interpretar a Bob Dylan en *A Complete Unknown*. La película obtuvo ocho nominaciones de los Premios de la Academia, pero no ganó ninguna.

La historia solo sigue a Dylan durante sus primeros años como artista, mientras se resiste a las expectativas de la industria y de sus fans. Dylan también se acerca a iconos musicales como Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro) y Johnny Cash (Boyd Holbrook), mientras descuida su vínculo con su novia, Sylvie Russo (Elle Fanning). Dylan no es un tipo perfecto, y toma malas decisiones, pero la música que hizo en este período dio forma a su leyenda durante décadas.

*A Complete Unknown* está disponible para transmitir en Hulu.

3. *La Bamba* (1987)

¿Te has escuchado hablar del día en que murió la música? Don McLean acuñó la frase en su canción, “American Pie”, en referencia al accidente aéreo de 1959 que cobró la vida de Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly y J.P. Richardson, conocido como “The Big Bopper”.

*La Bamba* toca ese incidente, pero también es una historia alegre de la vida de Valens, quien solo tenía 17 años cuando murió. La película revisita la ascensión a la fama de Valens, así como su a veces compleja relación con su medio hermano, Roberto “Bob” Morales (Esai Morales), y cuenta la historia de Valens y el gran amor de su vida, Donna Ludwig (Danielle von Zerneck), cuyo nombre fue inmortalizado en una de sus canciones.

*La Bamba* está disponible para transmitir en Tubi.

2. *Walk the Line* (2005)

El director James Mangold dirigió dos de las películas de esta lista: *A Complete Unknown* y *Walk the Line*. Ambas son excelentes películas, pero la última está elevada por la nominación al Oscar de Joaquin Phoenix como Johnny Cash y la nominación al Oscar de Reese Witherspoon como June Carter. Más impresionantemente, tanto Phoenix como Witherspoon realmente cantaron las canciones que aparecen en la película.

La leyenda de Cash se desarrolla ante el público a medida que la película revisita las tragedias de su vida, su ascenso a la fama y sus devastadores adicciones que destruyeron su primer matrimonio con Vivian Cash (Ginnifer Goodwin). Carter fue la segunda esposa de Cash, y la que, en muchos sentidos, lo salvó de sus demonios.

*Walk the Line* está disponible para alquilar o comprar en Prime Video.

1. *Straight Outta Compton* (2015)

*Straight Outta Compton* es uno de los pocos biopics musicales contemporáneos que se convirtió en un gran éxito de taquilla. El director F. Gary Gray eligió a O’Shea Jackson Jr. – el hijo de Ice Cube – para interpretar a su padre en la historia del ascenso y caída de N.W.A., como uno de los grupos de hip-hop más importantes de la historia.

Ice Cube no está “beefing” con los raperos mientras Kendrick Lamar y Drake tienen conflictos.

En los años 90, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre (Corey Hawkins) y Eazy-E (Jason Mitchell) desafían todas las expectativas cuando N.W.A. se hace increíblemente popular. Sin embargo, el grupo se desmorona por culpa de traiciones y sentimientos heridos que conducen a rivalidades acaloradas, incluso mientras su poderío colectivo continúa aumentando. Sin el N.W.A. para allanar el camino, es posible que muchos de los nombres más grandes del hip-hop y el rap nunca hubieran tenido la oportunidad de brillar.

*Straight Outta Compton* está disponible para alquilar o comprar en Prime Video.

The ‘Wedding Veil’ Besties

The ‘Cherry Lane’ Residents

You’ll need to pay attention to keep track of this one — it’s Hallmark’s most heartfelt holiday anthology. *Christmas on Cherry Lane* takes place at 7 Cherry Lane, and each film jumps around in time, with scenes following a different family spending Christmas Eve there in different eras.

The first movie introduces John (John Brotherton) and Lizzie (Erin Cahill) preparing for their first baby, Regina (Catherine Bell) and Nelson (James Denton) announcing their engagement to grown children, and Mike (Jonathan Bennett) and Zian (Vincent Rodriguez III) hosting Christmas dinner while welcoming their new foster daughter. But there’s even more connecting these families than their address.

You’ll need to pay attention to keep track of this one — it’s Hallmark’s most heartfelt holiday anthology. *Christmas on Cherry Lane* takes place at 7 Cherry Lane, and each film jumps around in time, with scenes following a different family spending Christmas Eve there in different eras.

The first movie introduces John (John Brotherton) and Lizzie (Erin Cahill) preparing for their first baby, Regina (Catherine Bell) and Nelson (James Denton) announcing their engagement to grown children, and Mike (Jonathan Bennett) and Zian (Vincent Rodriguez III) hosting Christmas dinner while welcoming their new foster daughter. But there’s even more connecting these families than their address.

The Best Holiday Movies to Snuggle Up With

The sequel trilogy, premiering on Hallmark this year and available now on Hallmark+, deepens those emotional connections — reminding us that some houses hold more love, laughter and legacy than a single lifetime could contain.
