As motorsports changes, Hendrick’s campus adapts
There are NASCAR corporate sponsor events. And then there is riding shotgun with Jeff Gordon as he whips a ZR1X Corvette around the turns and curves of Ten Tenths Motor Club. That was the experience on offer during a Hendrick Motorsports event at the facility in fall 2025. The white-knuckled executives from Hendrick sponsors were relieved that Gordon’s Corvette came equipped with six-point safety belts and racing seats. It’s unlikely that the winding course and its 112 feet of elevation change helped their uneasy stomachs.

Beloved NC high school student with Down syndrome scores TD on Senior Night
All week long, South Mecklenburg High football coach Joe Evans told Evan Pech that he was going to score a touchdown. Pech, 17, is a senior who loves WWE wrestling and football. He has Down syndrome, a genetic condition that affects 1 in about 6,000 newborns in the US annually, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The condition can alter how the brain and body develop. Last Friday was likely South Meck’s last home game of the season, and the last home game of Pech’s high school career. Coach Evans wanted to make it memorable. “I go get Evan on Tuesdays and he comes with me and goes to (football) practice,” Joe Evans said, “and then he goes to the JV games on Thursdays. But this past week, against Garinger, it was our Senior Night, and he’s a senior.” So Evans called Garinger coach Jupiter Wilson and arranged for a pre-game play. South Meck would line up at the Garinger 20 and Evan would get the ball. And Evan would score. And everybody would go crazy. “So I call Jupiter,” Evans said, “and I asked, ‘Would you guys be willing?’ Jupiter’s a great dude and he’s like,
