Off to the Races: The 2018 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship
The 2018 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship is around the corner. The race starts January 25th and goes until the 28th. To celebrate the upcoming race, Acura Team Penske driver Helio Castroneves and IMSA President Scott Atherton rang the NYSE Closing Bell and stopped by Cheddar to explore the work that has gone into this competition.
Overall, 200 drivers will be competing over the 3 days. 14 automobile manufacturers are involved in IMSA race, an unprecedented number.
Castroneves was also on Dancing With The Stars. The race car driver said that his profession helped him win the series, and he looks back on the experience fondly.
Taylor Swift's concert tour has dominated the box office in recent days and it's also the top-grossing concert film of all time here in the U.S. But a conversation on social media raised questions about movie etiquette and videos shared show film audiences singing, shining their phone flashlights and dancing in the aisles.
Stocks fell at the open Tuesday as the 10-year Treasury yield spiked following retail sales data and bank earnings, raising concerns over more rate hikes. Investors are also keeping an eye on tensions in the Middle East and its potential effect on global markets.
