I-69 ORX construction bringing long-term lane closure to US 60
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Drivers on US 60 just east of Henderson will have to get used to more lane closures and a new traffic pattern as work continues on the future US 60/I-69 interchange. Beginning Saturday May 10, US 60 will be down to one shared lane between Tillman Bethel Road and Morris Drive, where two temporary traffic signals will be located to allow east and westbound traffic to flow.

Drivers turning onto US 60 from Tillman Bethel will only be able to turn right. Those wanting to turn left will first need to loop through the new roundabouts to turn back around in the eastbound direction. Residents of the Hillcrest neighborhood will need to enter through Hillcrest Terrace as Morris Drive will remain closed.
Project spokesperson Mindy Peterson says this closure allows for a widening and realignment of the highway and a rehabbing of a CSX overpass bridge.
'For drivers who use US 60, just know it's going to look a little different,' explains Peterson. 'So, if US 60 is part of your route there, right at the new interchange, just plan ahead and know you're going to need a little more time.' Peterson says it may be a good idea for drivers to pass through the new interchange prior to the work-week rush. 'See what it feels like so that when you get to Monday morning and you're in the heat of your commute,' says Peterson, 'you know already what to expect.'
Peterson says one positive for drivers is that the Adams Lane bridge is expected to re-open to traffic by the end of this week. The bridge had been closed since last December as crews worked to replace the bridge over I-69.
The long-term closure along US 60 is expected to last around 45 days. Peterson expects construction on that particular section to wrap up in late June.

How Nascar driver Joey Logano picks his brand deals
Joey Logano is a three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion. That means there are a lot of companies that would like him to be a spokesperson for their products. So how does he choose which deals to do? Find out in the video above. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Wealth here. You know, when you think about the deals that you've been able to make over the course of your career, where and how do you assess and look back at some of the deals that maybe you had to walk away from. What are some of those values that you, when you're discussing with CEOs of companies, say, hey, this is what I need represented, if this is going to be done right, and if there's going to be any type of dollar figure that we're discussing or exchanging. Well, how long you want to be around? Right? That's the first question you want to ask, and how, where your morals lay as well, right? Is it something that you really truly believe in and want to promote, uh, to help not only the brand that you're promoting, but the people, the consumer, right? That's, that's purchasing that product. Um, you want to make sure that you were on the same page with, with that. Um, and also, like I said, authentic to something I'm actually going to use, right? Like it's hard to promote something that you don't use in the day-to-day aspect of things. For younger drivers out there, what's, what's your advice for them? Building kind of the early pillars and foundation for their own wealth that they might be trying to make sure that they're accruing over time, knowing that there's some significant input costs that go into this sport as well. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's, it's tough for athletes because you're jumping into something head first, right? And you grow in business, you know, it's kind of a slow growth typically. But for an athlete, you're like, boom, you hit it. And you're like, whoa, I got, you know, you're making big bucks all of a sudden. You're trying to figure out, how do I invest it the correct way? How do I find people around me that I trust? Because that's scary, right? Trying to find the right people. Um, and I think the biggest thing is you got to learn yourself. You got to take the time to, there's plenty of ways to learn now, right? Like, you can learn about finance without going to college. You could watch the finance. Yeah, you have a channel right here. You can do that. There's plenty of ways to educate yourself these days. Uh, I think that is one of the most important things, um, to do that, and not just be somebody that just drives the car or just does whatever that one job is. Try to expand, uh, your horizons a little bit and see the other opportunities there. But understand that as an athlete, it's here today, it's gone tomorrow, right? There is a very short shelf life. So you have to maximize while you're on top, right? Because not only is that big paycheck going to go away someday from not doing what you do, but also you're, you're not as relevant someday, right? You go 10 years down the road. Is anyone going to care who won the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series champion? Like, I, I don't know if it's going to matter that much anymore. So you got to capitalize right now while the iron's hot. You know, just lastly, while we have you here, you also have a, a significant philanthropic efforts that is core for a, a lot of athletes to really think about. Once they come into wealth, what am I doing with some of this money to also help either the community I came up in, or some of the initiatives and missions that I know I would like to see further advance. What, what really inspired your heart to be able to take some of that earnings, and then also put it to work helping other people as well? I think you have to ask yourself, and no matter what you're doing in life, is why am I doing it, right? And I'm making the world a better place. And when I take a step back and I look at what I do for living, I'm driving a car in circles for 500 miles to end up in the same place. Am I making the world a better place? Uh, maybe some people enjoy watching racing, I bring some smiles to faces, those type of things. But am I really, I don't feel like I'm doing enough, right? And so God's given me this incredible platform to, to inspire people to live a life of generosity. If we can talk about it and, and attitudes are contagious, we say it all the time, right? If you can talk about this stuff, maybe it's enough to trigger someone. For us, foster care is, you know, our main mission. Uh, we absolutely love the, the foster community, the kids. Not only the kids, but the families that are willing to, uh, put so much into a child they haven't met before that's been really put through the ringer. And nine times out of 10, it wasn't their decision, right? So really have a huge heart for them. Uh, we're going to do a lot of great things, uh, together and, and, uh, it's a long-term investment, right? I, with children, that's what it is, right? You're not going to see immediate, you know, difference. It takes years and years and years of, of great people, great hearts, um, to be able to, to really make a difference in a kid's life. And that to me, that's the why. That's what it's all about.

This Engine Powered More Cars Than Any Other
GM's 3800 still has a huge following to this day, as it was a workhorse for the brand. For more than 30 years, starting in 1975, this reliable V6 powerplant was shoehorned under the hood of more than 25 million vehicles. That includes products ranging from boring sedans up to a turbocharged 20th Anniversary Pontiac Trans Am. While that's impressive, another GM engine handily beats the 3.8-liter V6 as the most produced engine of all time. Yep, it's the small-block Chevrolet. Chevy originally released the small-block in a 265 cubic inch displacement called "Turbo Fire" to power 1955 model year Corvettes and Bel Airs. Although its 180 horsepower output in top tune is lackluster by modern standards, it was a full 30 horsepower more than the outgoing "Blue Flame" inline-six Corvette engine. The small-block Chevy was produced with many different combinations of bore and stroke over its six decade lifespan, all the way up to a 400 cubic inch displacement for trucks and vans. Ironically, a 400 cubic inch small-block is actually larger than some so-called big-blocks, such as Chrysler's 383 or Chevy's own 396. However, the most well known iteration of the small-block is the 350, or 5.7-liter in metric terms. If you've been in the car hobby for any reasonable amount of time, the chances are that you've interacted with a 350-powered vehicle on some level. In fact, some sources call it "America's favorite V8." Read more: These V6 Engines Put The LS1 V8 To Shame By 1997, the writing was on the wall for the venerable small-block Chevy. That's the year when the first LS-based V8 engine debuted in the brand-new fifth-generation Corvette C5, sarcastically reviewed here by Mr. Regular. There's a bit of friendly debate among enthusiasts as to whether LS motors are truly considered part of the small-block Chevy family or a separate entity. Besides obvious differences like the lack of a conventional distributor, the LS even has a different firing order than its predecessors. For the record, General Motors says that the LS is a continuation of the small-block lineup. However, the fact remains that the LS shares very little in common with the first- and second-generation small-block V8, which was fully phased out of production vehicles by the end of 2002. More than 100 million small-block Chevys engines have been produced so far, plus it continues to be offered to this day in "crate engine" form. Like its sibling, the 3.8-liter V6, the small-block Chevy powered a wide array of vehicles from GM's assembly line. That includes Corvettes, Camaros, pickup trucks, and grocery-getter sedans and wagons. What's more, many of those engines went on to live a second life after their original host vehicles went to the crusher. Small-block Chevys have been swapped into all manner of vehicles including Jeeps and Ford hot rods from the 1930s, heck, there's even a Chevy-powered 1970 Porsche 911. In part, that's because of the tremendous aftermarket support and the seemingly limitless supply of repair and upgrade parts available. With over 100 million examples floating around, we wouldn't expect any less. Want more like this? Join the Jalopnik newsletter to get the latest auto news sent straight to your inbox...

Average Age for a New Rolls-Royce Spectre Owner Is Just 35
The latest car news, reviews, and features. How old do you think the average Rolls-Royce owner is? Well, the answer depends on when the question was asked. Had you asked about 10 to 15 years ago, the number was right around 60 years old. Over the last decade, however, things have drastically changed—blame it on the ever-changing dynamics of global wealth or Rolls-Royce's shifting product strategy. Either way, that number is now around 42 years old across the brand, but the new Spectre EV is shaking things up drastically. In a conversation with the new President of Rolls-Royce North America, Jon Colbeth, I learned that the average age of an incoming Spectre buyer is just 35 years old. Furthermore, 40% of Spectre buyers are new to Rolls-Royce. Now, it's worth highlighting two details: This isn't the new average age for the brand, nor all Spectre buyers. It's the average age of someone who is buying a Spectre as their first Rolls-Royce. But either way, it's an impressive figure, and a hell of an accomplishment. I'm just two ticks older than that, and I'm nowhere close to buying my first Rolls-Royce, let alone a Spectre. Maybe I could swing an old dilapidated one from Facebook Marketplace, but probably not even that. Rolls-Royce In all seriousness, the average age of a customer is vital business for a brand like Rolls, but they're not alone. Cross-town rivals Bentley and even volume sellers like Mercedes are all concerned with lowering that number every year. The goal is not to let your clientele age out, because if that happens, well, your sales die along with them. 'Tech is important to youthful clients, and that's why the Spectre has resonated with those looking to buy their first Rolls-Royce,' Colbeth told me. 'New tech, new materials, new designs, it all plays a role.' On a recent media drive for the Series II Cullinan SUV and Ghost sedan, I was amazed at the color combinations Rolls had on hand. Purples, greens, bright blues, and a wide array of interior hues and materials. These weren't your grandparents' (or the Queen's) Rolls-Royces; these catered to a much hipper, younger, and richer clientele. If you think it's the Eton College aristocracy that's buying up these cars, think again. Colbeth, who assumed his role back in January, spent several years as Rolls' Head of Ownership Services, where he got to know the brand's dealer network and its most esteemed clients. During the media event—which coincided with the Rolls-Royce Owners' Club annual meet in Colorado Springs—I spotted him mingling with loyal fans and clients, regardless of whether they owned a less-than-stellar restoration project, a seven-figure Pebble Beach winner, or maybe didn't own a Rolls at all. Colbeth was a friendly guy by all means, who was open to discussing various aspects of the brand while I drove him back to our hotel in a Ghost Black Badge after a lovely dinner. Rolls-Royce While this is purely my opinion, it would appear that, like most brands that must evolve or die, the Goodwood house's approach to all aspects of the business has had to become more welcoming and less uptight. And its executives, like its clients, reflect that. Got a tip? Email us at tips@
