CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kevin Harvick’s got little time for nostalgia, even as his stellar career winds down with his final NASCAR playoffs.“I mean, I don’t really go through it like that,” the 2014 Cup Series champion said Thursday. “I think for me, it’s all a last, right?”Harvick, 47, has 10 events left before retiring to the TV broadcast booth where he’ll be an analyst for Fox.Harvick didn’t get weepy about his final drive around Daytona last week or any of the venues he has seen for a final time as a driver.Harvick was a young racer with a bit of an edge when he first raced the Cup Series as the late Dale Earnhardt’s replacement at Richard Childress Racing in 2001.

He only wanted to win. “I wanted them to think about me all the time when I was in front of them, when I w...

In August, a federal judge in Florida refused to dismiss a class action lawsuit that claims Burger King’s ads overstate the amount of meat in its Whopper burger and other sandwiches.But Burger King is far from the only one. Perkins Coie, a law firm that tracks class action suits, said 214 were filed against food and beverage companies in 2022 and 101 were filed in the first six months of this year. That’s a huge increase from 2010, when just 45 were filed.Pooja Nair, who represents food and beverage companies as a partner with the Beverly Hills, California-based law firm Ervin Cohen and Jessup, said waves of class action lawsuits started hitting federal courts a few years ago.Some of the first were fa...
