## Resource

NASCAR just hit the high seas—literally—as this weekend’s Cup Series race unfolds aboard the USS Carl Vinson, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier docked in San Diego. Dale Earnhardt Jr., Adam Alexander, and Steve Letarte are broadcasting live from the ship’s bridge, calling the race from a spot where every angle feels like a first. The $1 billion warship, launched in 1981 and once involved in bin Laden’s burial at sea, offers a surreal backdrop unlike any press box. Letarte admits it’s distracting—and unforgettable. With TNT taking over after Amazon’s final week, this is a historic, high-stakes broadcast from the top of the world. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
