Tara McNamara Imagine an astronaut facing impending doom on the moon, whose only connection to humanity is the voice of mission control.

Although not explicit, most took the tweet as NASCAR admitting Abbott’s involvement with the pre-race rituals had been a mistake.Related: Postmates marks Pride month with bottom-friendly food menusNASCAR’s new Pride range earned praise from many.I admire that NASCAR is evolving even though it’s base is probably not happy about it.
