#CruisingPeachy @IndyCar Pierson Upstages Title Contenders With First Career Pole in Milwaukee
On a day of agony for two of the three INDY NXT by Firestone title contenders, Josh Pierson found ecstasy by earning his first career pole in the INDYCAR development series Saturday at the Milwaukee Mile.
Pierson, in his third full INDY NXT season and fourth overall, produced the fastest two-lap average qualifying speed on the historic 1.015-mile oval at 153.434 mph in the No. 29 Starchive Andretti car of Andretti Global. That’s a series track record for a two-lap average qualifying speed, breaking the mark of 152.639 set last year by Dennis Hauger.
SEE: Qualifying Results
The breakthrough pole came for Pierson in his 52nd career start in the series after he was a disappointing 11th in practice this morning. His previous best qualifying spot was third, recorded five times, including in May for the second race of the doubleheader at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.
“Finally,” Pierson said. “It’s such a relief. For me, I feel like it’s just always been a little bit, I’m always just lacking something. And to finally break through means the world to me. I owe it all to this crew, everyone on this 29 car.
“In practice, we kind of struggled. We really had to shake things up and try something with the car, and I’m really happy where things turned out.”
The 90-lap race starts at 11 a.m. ET Sunday (FS1, FOX One, INDYCAR Radio powered by OnlyBulls).
Rookie Tymek Kucharczyk was the only one of the three main title contenders to find speed in qualifying, ending up second at 153.382 in the No. 71 HMD Motorsports car. Kucharczyk is third in the standings, 18 points behind leader Enzo Fittipaldi and 17 behind second-place Nikita Johnson with three races remaining this season.
Fittipaldi qualified seventh at 152.336 in the No. 67 HMD Motorsports machine. Johnson struggled even more, qualifying a season-worst 15th at 151.350 in the No. 21 Cape Motorsports Powered by ECR car.
Rookie Jack Beeton backed up the speed that helped him lead practice this morning by qualifying third at 153.280 in the No. 45 HMD Motorsports car, tying his career-best starting spot. Niels Koolen continued his second-half upswing by qualifying a career-best fourth at 153.094 in the No. 10 Chip Ganassi Racing car.
JM Correa qualified fifth at 152.852 in the No. 68 Cusick Morgan Motorsports entry, while Max Taylor took the sixth spot at 152.747 in the No. 28 Susan G. Komen car of Andretti Global.
Two drivers made wall contact during qualifying.
James Roe did a half-spin exiting Turn 2 and hit the SAFER Barrier with the left side of the No. 8 Chip Ganassi Racing car. Alessandro de Tullio slapped the right side of his No. 14 AJ Foyt Racing entry in Turn 2 on his second lap, ending his run. Neither driver was hurt, and both cars suffered moderate damage.
It was a case of “what if?” for de Tullio, seeking to tie the series record with his ninth pole this season. His first lap of 154.231 was quicker than Mark Hotchkis’ 30-year-old track record for one lap in INDY NXT and appeared to set the table for a record-tying pole before his car slammed the wall on his second lap.

#CruisingPeachy #PatrioticPeachy #WashingtonDCPeachy @IndyCar @Freedom250GP Freedom 250 Grand Prix Delivers Historic Results
FREEDOM 250 GRAND PRIX DELIVERS HISTORIC RESULTS
Amazing attendance, massive viewership and global media exposure, along with patriotic pagentry and remarkable racing, make first-ever INDYCAR race in Washington D.C. a resounding success
Delivering capacity crowds, record broadcast viewership and worldwide attention, the Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, D.C. exceeded expectations and established itself as one of the most successful events in modern INDYCAR history during an unforgettable Aug. 22-23 race weekend.
As a cornerstone event of America's 250th anniversary celebration, the Freedom 250 Grand Prix transformed the nation's capital into a global motorsports showcase, delivering impressive attendance, the largest INDYCAR broadcast audience outside of the Indianapolis 500 in more than 30 years and record international media coverage. The event welcomed more than 215,000 spectators to the National Mall, making it one of the largest-attended INDYCAR race weekends in recent history.
Fans packed the National Mall, Pennsylvania Avenue and the event's STARS and STRIPES ticketed viewing areas throughout the weekend, creating a spectacular atmosphere around one of the most recognizable and iconic settings in sports.
Formally established by an Executive Order signed on Jan. 30 by President Donald J. Trump, and in cooperation with Chief of Protocol of the United States, Ambassador Monica Crowley, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, the Freedom 250 Grand Prix brought motorsports to the heart of downtown D.C. Featuring North America's premier open-wheel auto racing series, the Grand Prix provided a uniquely American sporting event to celebrate the country's semiquincentennial.
Featuring extended pre-race coverage on FOX that documented the patriotic pageantry of the unique celebration in the nation’s capital, the historic weekend also delivered extraordinary viewership results. People across the country tuned in to witness the 250-mile race through the streets of Washington, D.C. Sunday's NTT INDYCAR SERIES Freedom 250 Grand Prix attracted an average audience of 3.282 million viewers, making it the most-watched non-Indianapolis 500 INDYCAR race since the 1995 season.
With seven breathtaking flyovers, including with Air Force One, offering a dazzling aerial display and bands representing all seven branches of the military performing on track while U.S. troops were recognized before the start of the race, viewers witnessed plenty of excitement beyond the racing on track. Fans also saw President Trump meet the current Indy 500 winners in the INDYCAR field and take a lap of the seven-turn, 1.7-mile street circuit before he waved the green flag to start the race from a trackside suite along Pennsylvania Avenue.
The FOX race broadcast peaked at 3.482 million viewers and more than nine million people tuned into at least a minute of the race on Sunday afternoon. The Freedom 250 Grand Prix also helped the sport reach new audiences as FOX estimated that nearly 44% of the viewers that tuned in had not watched a series race in 2026. Sunday’s impressive viewership results helped FOX continue its remarkable momentum in 2026 as the season-long average of the network’s INDYCAR broadcasts have now increased by more than 32% over last season.
The event's reach extended far beyond the nation's capital. With NTT INDYCAR SERIES broadcasts distributed in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide, the Freedom 250 Grand Prix positioned Washington, D.C. on the global motorsports stage while showcasing some of America's most recognizable landmarks to audiences around the world.
"We knew from the beginning that the Freedom 250 Grand Prix would be an historic event, but the results exceeded even our most ambitious expectations," said Bud Denker, Chairman of the Freedom 250 Grand Prix. "To welcome more than 215,000 fans to the National Mall, produce viewership numbers that we haven’t seen in decades and showcase our nation's capital to millions of people around the world is truly remarkable. By bringing motorsports, patriotism, history and community together in an unprecedented way to celebrate 250 years of American independence and innovation, the Freedom 250 Grand Prix delivered like no other event we have ever seen. We were so honored to host such a special celebration for our country and we are grateful to our fans, partners, elected officials, volunteers, the competitors and the countless organizations that helped make this unforgettable weekend possible."
The Freedom 250 Grand Prix also generated tremendous exposure and international media coverage for Washington D.C., the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and the partners that support INDYCAR as well as the event itself. Coverage of the Grand Prix was chronicled across many major media platforms including FOX News, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, CNN, Reuters, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, the BBC, Forbes, the New York Times, the Washington Post and numerous international outlets, introducing many new audiences to INDYCAR racing.
According to INDYCAR’s earned media monitoring, the event generated well over $1 billion in advertising value equivalency (AVE) during race week alone, a record for all NTT INDYCAR SERIES races, including the Indy 500. Since the Freedom 250 Grand Prix was announced in late January, the event's total AVE has surpassed $2 billion, also a benchmark for North America’s premier open wheel racing series.
The positive momentum of the Freedom 250 Grand Prix was amplified on digital platforms as well. Race day in Washington D.C. ranked as the second-highest engagement day of the year across the INDYCAR social channels behind only the Indianapolis 500. And weekend website traffic on INDYCAR.com – the official site of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES – was the highest for any non-Indy 500 event this season.
On the track, the competition was fast and fierce for all the fans watching in person or through the record FOX broadcast coverage. The International Race of Champions (IROC) Presented by Chevrolet made a celebrated return on the Washington, D.C. street circuit on Saturday with four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and NASCAR Hall of Famer Jeff Gordon sweeping both 10-lap exhibition races to claim the Freedom 250 Grand Prix IROC title. The revived series featured eight legendary drivers from NASCAR, INDYCAR and sports car racing competing in equally-prepared Pontiac Firebirds, providing fans with a nostalgic race that complemented the cars and stars of INDYCAR at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix.
On Sunday, Andretti Global's Kyle Kirkwood captured a historic victory in the entertaining 147-lap NTT INDYCAR SERIES race. Kirkwood led a race-high 128 laps and the young American racer etched his name into the record books as the first winner of an INDYCAR race on the historic streets of Washington, D.C. The race featured 155 on-track passes and intense competition throughout the field as drivers navigated the demanding 1.7-mile temporary street circuit framed by the Washington Monument, U.S. Capitol, Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, National Gallery of Art and the National Archives.
ABOUT THE FREEDOM 250 GRAND PRIX
The Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, D.C., will take place Aug. 22-23, 2026, marking the first‑ever NTT INDYCAR SERIES race on the National Mall and the Washington D.C. city streets. The event will be administered by INDYCAR in coordination with the White House Task Force on Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the U.S. Department of the Interior and Washington, D.C.’s Executive Office of the Mayor. The free, two-day motorsports event will celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with world‑class racing set against the backdrop of some of America’s most historic landmarks, including the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol. The unique street race will be broadcast live on FOX on Sunday, August 23. To learn more, visit www.Freedom250GP.com.

#PeachysPicks A Peachy's Pick Since 2012 El Pote Espanol #ElPote #ElPoteEspanol @elPoteEspanol Since 1977 by Nicolas Ahuatl and Juan Costa Summer 2026 718 Second Avenue between 38th and 39th Streets #Midtown #East @ManhattanPeachy #PeachyDeegan
Owner Nicolas Ahuatl showcases the gorgeously delicious Paella Negra
We believe we may be the first to publicly announce that El Pote has been awarded with the "Restaurants from Spain" certification by ICEX Spain Trade and Investment and Restaurants from Spain, as of July 30, 2026 valid for two years!
Congratulations, El Pote!
Peachy got the party started with Garlic Chicken, her favorite:
PLUS, Everyone knows Spain just won the world cup!
Summertime, and the living is ecstatically sublime when you dine upon Chicken and Lobster and drink the bespoke Red Sangria crafted at El Pote made to order just for you.
Gazpacho, Cold Spanish Soup, doesn't get zestier and more magnificent than it does at El Pote, icon of Galician Gastronomy. Red and Green Bell Peppers, Spanish Onions and tomatoes cheerfully garnish it with pizzaz and nutrition, perfectly diced. Queso Manchego is a solid coveted classic sure to please all diners any time of year and is attractively presented in a sunburst fashion, a la CBS Sunday Morning, where Peachy once interned.
Summertime calls for Sangria!
We decided on Red and you should know White is also available and just as superb; it is our belief that a little magic goes into it to really put the fun in your summer season.
We decided on Red and you should know White is also available and just as superb; it is our belief that a little magic goes into it to really put the fun in your summer season.
Champiniones Rellenos, Stuffed Mushrooms, are next in the batting order to score a home run in your stomach embellished beautifully with artisan crabmeat to make your day, even you Clint Eastwood! And can you believe it, we believe this next entree is one we have never had before: Chicken Fideua!
Spanish Pasta is accentuated with Chicken in a custom sauce evocative of Galicia. Everything here has been authentic to the native home of founders Enrique and Jose! Nicolas joined in 1991 as a waiter and always worked with us under their direction until he became the owner and he intelligently has not changed anything and only has made key improvements.
If for some reason you have not read our other 31,000 posts, be aware we do not edit pictures, and for the amount of time we have spent at El Pote, we are entirely confident they never need to edit their menu or their dinner! Shrimp in Green Sauce is vibrant and elevated, and you also have the opportunity to learn all the Spanish names: Camarones en Salsa Verde. It's a beacon of summer seafood refreshment. And it is beyond us why anyone would eat Chicken and Waffles at a lesser venue anywhere when one instead could feast upon the Pollo con Langosta: Chicken and Lobster at El Pote! It's celebratory nature especially in perfect presentation makes the July 30th aforementioned designation that much sweeter.
The final fireworks are Paella Negra, Black Rice with Seafood, and the seafood is assorted depending on what is freshest at market, and Pollo al Ajillo, Peachy's personal favorite, Chicken in garlic Spanish Style. You should absolutely concentrate on the menu page called House Specials, which is where these both are located. Every entry on it we have had at least once and is the true embellishment of culinary prowess.
Of course, they give you the right knife.
El Pote was last featured early in 2026 and they continue to show with actions not just words just why they have been thriving since 1977.
El Pote continues to Earn Our Highest Recommendation.

EXHIBIT OPENS SEPT. 2, WITH AN EXPANSION FEATURING NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN ARTIFACTS COMING EARLY FALL 2026

Olivia says, “I grew up going to the Grammy Museum and their mission is especially important to me, so it’s a full circle moment to be able to work with them on this exhibit. It’s the perfect place to feature ‘the cure’ music video pieces that mean so much to me, as well as some incredibly special items from the past decade that we’re later adding that I’ve never shown before. I can’t wait for you all to see them in person!”
Kelsey Goelz, Grammy Museum Curator, added, “Olivia is a pop music creative force and the Grammy Museum is thrilled to showcase the special magic behind a fan-favorite video.

“the cure” takes place in an entirely handmade hospital, where Olivia seeks an antidote to her feelings by experimenting on felted human hearts inside the “OR.” Directed by Cat Solen and Jaime Gerin, the video follows Olivia as she explores the complexities of love and, in the process, finds herself unraveling. The finished video is crafted almost entirely by hand, incorporating miniatures, animatronic heart puppets, and stop-motion animation. Production designer Liam Moore transformed nearly every surface and object with cardboard and hand-painted details, creating a tactile, surreal world that brings Olivia’s emotional journey to life.
Exhibit highlights:
Olivia Rodrigo’s nurse costume, worn during the filming of “the cure” music video
Handmade props from “the cure,” including the miniature “OR” and beating felt heart
Handwritten and hand-stitched artwork used for the you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love album art and packaging
