“The Mechanical People Are the Ones That Really Drive the Sport:” Strange Engineering’s Jeff Stange on Backing the DI 30 Under 30

Long before Mike Green was a two-time world champion Top Fuel crew chief, Jeff Stange knew him as the rear end guy on a Lee Beard-tuned dragster. He knew Neal Strausbaugh, now co-crew chief on Leah Pruett’s Tony Stewart Racing Top Fuel dragster, when Strausbaugh had the same job, and he knew Dean “Guido” Antonelli when Antonelli was a crew member at John Force Racing. That history goes a long way toward explaining why Strange Engineering, the Morton Grove, Illinois-based driveline and suspension manufacturer Stange leads as president, is a longtime supporter of the Drag Illustrated 30 Under 30…

Michael Reese Site Developers Make $10 Billion Pitch For Bears Stadium

The Sun-Times reports that developers have made a $10 billion (with a B!) pitch with a plan to make the former Michael Reese Hospital site the next home of the Bears. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard the former Michael Reese Hospital site floated as an option. Back in 2024, it joined a long list of options that have been presented to the team in its search for a future home. The Bears have since dismissed it as an option, citing safety concerns about it being built over an active rail line and the lot size being too small for what the team was hoping to build. Still, there are folks who want to take one last stab at it. And frankly, I admire their gumption. More from the Sun-Times story , which includes an anecdote about a sweetener that Capri Investment Group could toss in that certainly grabbed my attention: To further lure the Bears, Capri and its investment partners said they were willing to purchase the team’s Arlington Heights property it’s “the key impediment to the team staying Downtown and fairly considering Bronzeville,” Primo said. “There should be absolutely no reasons why the Bears and the NFL

After the last out: The evolution of girls’ sports at Niles North

Whether it’s a whistle, buzzer, clock, or crossing of the finish line, all of our athletes’ seasons come to an end eventually. To athletes at Niles North, the work doesn’t end after jerseys are turned in. The off-seasons of each sport are direct opportunities for players to continually work on skills, get stronger, and mature as athletes. Scheduled off-season practices, or open gyms, provide additional opportunities for incoming members of the team to adapt to the team environment, cooperate with coaches and teammates, and get a head start on collaboration prior to tryouts. It is essential for each sport to have an optimal off-season schedule and plan to ensure development and growth within the program.
