The Kansas City Chiefs players and staff are continuing to work this offseason on projects that may not be football-related. The work is focused on individual improvements and development before organized team activities are underway in the coming weeks.

Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has been studying recently, as he achieved an important goal that goes well beyond football. The former Rutgers team captain returned to his alma mater to participate in the school’s graduation ceremony after finishing his degree in criminal justice. The news was posted on social media by the Rutgers Football account and has since been reposted by the Chiefs and thousands around the football world.

Pacheco was last seen working out on social media and is in great shape in preparation for next season following an injury-plagued 2024. Last season, he appeared in seven games and was limited to 83 carries for 310 yards and a touchdown. Entering his fourth season in Kansas City, the former seventh-round draft pick is eligible for a contract extension.

Here’s a recent motorsports story via The AP:

MIAMI (AP) — NASCAR asked its fans where they would prefer seeing championship weekend held, and the majority of those who responded picked Homestead-Miami Speedway.

And NASCAR listened.

The 2026 NASCAR season will end in South Florida, with stock car racing’s championship weekend returning to Homestead-Miami next year. It’ll be the first time since 2019 that the title-winners will be crowned there and will start a rotation where NASCAR will move its final weekend around various tracks.

How that’ll work in 2027 and beyond remains unclear. But in 2026, Homestead is the spot.

“I like that we move it around,” said reigning NASCAR champion Joey Logano, who won the crown last fall at Phoenix — this year’s title-deciding spot as well — and the first of his three titles at Homestead-Miami in 2018. “That was one of the things that I always thought would be a great idea if we were able to pull it off, right? The Super Bowl doesn’t stay in the same place every year. Why should our Super Bowl, our championship race, stay in same place every year?”

NASCAR made the announcement Tuesday, and it was not exactly a stunner. (“I’m sure everyone was surprised to see this coming,” Logano said, smiling.) Its three series — the truck series, the Xfinity Series and the Cup Series — will see their seasons come to a close at Homestead from Nov. 6-8, 2026.

It isn’t a permanent return, though: NASCAR said that championship weekends are going to be on a rotation “to ensure that the season’s exciting conclusion is shared amongst NASCAR’s marquee venues and key markets.” Phoenix will be part of that rotation, somehow, but NASCAR isn’t ready to say which other tracks may be involved and when all that will be announced.

“We have a lot of confidence, when we go to Homestead-Miami Speedway, it’s going to deliver from a racing product perspective,” NASCAR executive vice president Ben Kennedy said. “It’s also going to create a good amount of unpredictability for many of our fans that come to that race or tune in on TV just going to a different championship venue and having it on the line. We’re excited to see all that.”

Part of NASCAR’s commitment to Homestead-Miami, Kennedy said, includes a capital investment to “make sure it is a championship-caliber facility when we show up next year.”

NASCAR routinely makes tweaks to schedules and now will tinker again with where seasons end, but one non-negotiable appears to be the start of the season: Daytona will remain the first points race for the foreseeable future, Kennedy said.

“We ran a survey a couple years ago, and it was over 95% of our fan base wants to see their first points race be the Daytona 500,” Kennedy said. “That was a statistic that was strong enough for us to say we’re not even going to explore that for now.”

Homestead-Miami was the championship weekend site from 2002 through 2019. There are three active drivers who were crowned NASCAR champions at Homestead — Kyle Busch in 2015 and 2019, Brad Keselowski in 2012 and Logano in 2018. Logano has also won the title at Phoenix in two of the last three seasons, including last year.

And all seven of Jimmie Johnson’s NASCAR titles came at Homestead, which has renamed a tunnel in his honor to commemorate those championships.

“If you’re asking drivers, it’s about the track, right? The environment obviously is really cool. It’s different being in Miami. That’s a neat thing,” Logano said. “But the drivers, what we care about is the racing, right? Can we move around the racetrack, can we do different things, are the tires falling off, is that fun. To us, yeah, that’s fun.”

NASCAR decided after the 2001 season to move its truck and Cup series races to one track, in order to create a season-ending championship celebration. Homestead-Miami was the original site after that decision, and then things moved to Phoenix starting in 2020.

Kennedy said racing in early November isn’t exactly possible at all of the tracks on the NASCAR schedule, meaning that the series would prefer a warm-weather climate for its finish — something that Phoenix and Homestead-Miami provide. And Homestead-Miami’s history isn’t lost on NASCAR, either.

“Homestead has put on some of the most phenomenal finishes, especially when we had the championship there,” Kennedy said. “But even since then, and we’ve crowned so many legends and Hall of Famers over the past 15 years when we did have the championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway. So, competition is a part of it, variability, and I think diversity in where you’re crowning the champion was another consideration.”

It was a rough start to the race weekend at Kansas Speedway for four of the teams in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series garage on Friday afternoon.

In pre-race inspection, three ThorSport Racing Ford F-150s (No. 88, 98, and 99), as well as the No. 26 Rackley W.A.R. Chevrolet Silverado, failed in two trips through the bay.

As a result, Tucker Scanlon, the truck chief for Dawson Sutton and the No. 26 Rackley W.A.R. team, Tyler Kontos, the truck chief for three-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion Matt Crafton and the No. 88 ThorSport Racing team, Brad Means, the truck chief for defending series champion Ty Majeski and the No. 98 ThorSport Racing team, and Derek Rohlfing, the truck chief for two-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion Ben Rhodes and the No. 99 ThorSport Racing team were all ejected for the remainder of the race weekend.

All four teams will also lose their pit selection in next weekend’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event at North Wilkesboro Speedway.

Heading into Saturday night’s Heart of Health Care 200 at Kansas Speedway, all four of the affected drivers and teams find themselves inside the top-17 of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series championship standings. All four are looking for their first wins of the season.

If a win is to come on Saturday night for any of the four, they’ll have to overcome losing a key member of their team at the beginning of the race weekend.

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Heart of Health Care 200 at Kansas Speedway is set for Saturday, May 10 at 7:30 PM ET. FS1 will provide the television broadcast of the event, and the race can also be streamed on the FOX Sports App with a valid television provider login.
