The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series playoffs continues as drivers get set to return to New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Louden, New Hampshire, for the first time since 2020 for what is slated to be an exciting Round of 12 kicking off Saturday, Sept. 21, with all the action airing live on Fox.
The Cup Series playoff picture is quickly narrowing, and with the Round of 12 set to begin at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, the intensity is turning up amongst the remaining teams.
Among the favorites is Denny Hamlin, the veteran Joe Gibbs driver who continues his pursuit of the only remaining achievement missing from his already legendary NASCAR driving resume — the elusive Cup Series championship.
Hamlin, who signed a multi-year extension with the team earlier this summer, has collected four wins during the 2025 regular season, reinforcing his status as one of the sport’s most consistent performers in the field.
Entering the Round of 12, Hamlin will be looking to continue his streak, with three
New Hampshire wins already under his belt — especially as the series enters a crucial three race stretch that includes the Hollywood Casino 400 and the Bank Of America Roval 400.
While Hamlin is a heavy favorite to win it all, it won’t be an easy path to victory. Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Christopher Bell remains one of the most dangerous drivers in the field with multiple victories this season, particularly on short tracks. Kyle Larson is also a serious contender, with six career top five finishes at New Hampshire.

Southwestern dust covers a lot of truths behind mysterious tales in Oklahoma. One perhaps foolishly fearless citizen journalist, however, is dead set on sweeping his way to the bottom of things in the new FX series “The Lowdown,” premiering Tuesday, Sept. 23 on the network, and streaming the next day on Hulu. Ethan Hawke (“Moon Knight”) stars as Lee Raybon, a self-taught reporter with an obsessive interest in skeletons hiding in a powerful Tulsa, Oklahoma, family’s closet.
Devoted to his truth-finding mission, Lee gets beat up, knocked out, taken hostage and threatened in the official trailer for the upcoming series. Hawke is perfectly sleazy as Lee, who lives in the rare bookstore he operates when he isn’t following the trail of one of his conspiracies. As described by FX, “while Lee’s no idealist, he’s fiercely committed to exposing corruption and unearthing the city’s hidden rot, even when it puts him at risk.”
However, Lee’s commitment to the greater good leaves him lacking in other areas of his life. His 14-year-old daughter Francis, portrayed by “Skeleton Crew” actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong, is often the one left behind when truth comes calling. Despite her father’s proclivity for absenteeism, Francis longs to follow in his footsteps and go where her curiosity leads her.
The case that starts this particular one of Lee’s spirals centers around the Washberg family. Following the publication of Lee’s exposé on the local bigwigs, one unsavory member of the family meets an unfortunate, suspicious end. Dale Washberg’s (Tim Blake Nelson, “Poker Face”) alleged suicide doesn’t sit right with Lee, who starts follow-
‘The Lowdown’
ing a trail of breadcrumbs left by the dead man that points in a different direction than the official story.
Dale’s widow, Betty Jo (Jeanne Tripplehorn, “The Gilded Age”), piques Lee’s interest when her grief over her late husband quickly sends her closer to her brother-in-law, whose local political profile is heating up. Gubernatorial candidate
Donald Washberg (Kyle MacLachlan, “Overcompensating”) is paid a visit by Lee in a public urinal of all places in the series trailer. In another scene, the two exchange pointed words, both onto each other.
Up against a family with all the resources in the world to take him down and keep Lee from reaching the ultimate truth that they want to stay hidden, one mysterious man has got the unorthodox journalist’s back. Marty, portrayed by seasoned scene stealer Keith David (“Duster”), pops up at random to encourage Lee in his Washberg investigation.
Also starring in “The Lowdown” are Kaniehtiio Horn (“Letterkenny”), Siena East (“The Sex Lives of College Girls”), Scott Shepherd (“True Detective”), Tracy Letts (“Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty”), Macon Blair (“Oppenheimer,” 2023), Killer Mike (“Billions”), Cody Lightning (“Echo”), Michael Hitchcock (“Black Monday”) and Peter Dinklage (“Dexter: Resurrection”).
“The Lowdown” comes from the creator of the Peabody Award-winning FX dramedy “Reservation Dogs,” Sterlin Harjo, who wrote, directed and executive produced the new series. Bringing another story of Oklahoma to FX, Harjo was
inspired by a real person, very close to home, when writing Lee.
Harjo told the Los Angeles Times in an interview in August, “the story is fictional, but the character was inspired by someone I worked with named Lee Roy Chapman at This Land Press magazine. He was very much a soldier for truth and I would ride shotgun and make these videos about the underground, unknown histories of Tulsa.”
Chapman founded the Center for Public Secrets to house neglected stories of Oklahoma’s history, including the video series he and Harjo worked on, appropriately named “Public Secrets.” About the series, Harjo said, “it was about a pent-up need for truth in this city. That push to tell the truth and find truth and tell our story and create a narrative around us. It gave us and the city an identity, something to hold on to.”

Q: I’ve been watching repeats of “House of Lies,” and in some of the episodes, Kristen Bell’s character Jeannie is pregnant. Was Bell expecting in real life at the time?
A: She was. Those Season 4 episodes of the Showtime comedy were filmed in 2014, and Bell and husband Dax Shepard welcomed the second of their two daughters at the end of that year. (The relevant “House of Lies” episodes first ran in 2015.) Though the show could have tried the trickery of putting Bell behind desks or big bags or packages, her Jeannie typically was pivotal to the stories, so the creative team came up with a way to keep the actress front and center while she was in her maternal condition.
Jeannie and her consulting-firm boss and colleague Marty Kaan (Don Cheadle) had gotten physically intimate the previous season, and her pregnancy resulted from that. Her future at the company was in question, not only because of the personal circumstances but also due to actions on her part that had left the firm subject to an FBI probe. More complications were presented by a very attractive offer Jeannie received to become a pharmaceutical conglomerate’s chief financial officer.
Eventually, Jeannie and Marty found a way to co-parent their child — and we’re purposely omitting certain details about their relationship, for the benefit of anyone who hasn’t seen later episodes and might not want spoilers. “House of Lies” would last a total of five seasons, and after its run ended in the early summer of 2016, it didn’t take Bell long at all to land another series.

Imagine your wildest game night. Now throw in 99 other players, a pile of hilarious challenges and zero rules. That’s the wild ride contestants are in for on Fox’s new game show “99 to Beat,” premiering Wednesday, Sept. 24, and streaming on Hulu the following day.
The concept is deceptively simple: don’t be the one who comes in last. Inspired by the British game show of the same name, “99 to Beat” throws 100 contestants into a gauntlet of quirky, laugh-out-loud games that look easy until you actually try them. With each challenge more unpredictable than the last, contestants must think fast and hope their luck holds out. Led by hosts Ken Jeong (“The Hangover,” 2009) and Erin Andrews (“Dancing With the Stars”), players are whittled down one round at a time in what Fox calls “an arced competition game show like we’ve never seen before.”
For Andrews, the series marks her first hosting role since her departure from “Dancing With the Stars” in 2020, and now she couldn’t be more excited about her comeback.
“I’m excited to have this opportunity,” she said in an episode of her “Calm Down” podcast. “It was a British game show. I’ve watched it on YouTube. It’s hilarious and fun. And here’s to the show and more seasons to come after that. I hope I crush [it]. So it’ll be a fun challenge.”
revealed the prize pot had been boosted to a life-changing $1 million. According to Variety, the announcement triggered “incredible excitement and lots of tears.”
The stakes are higher than ever, thanks to a surprising twist. Producers originally promised a $100,000 prize; however, in a move that shocked the players on set, they
