NASCAR Week at Coronado 2026: Jets, Ships, and Speed
As a lifelong NASCAR fan, I’ve seen the sport evolve in just about every way—new cars, new drivers, and constantly changing formats. But every once in a while, something comes along that feels bigger than the sport itself. This past weekend was one of those moments because it showed how far NASCAR can push beyond a normal race weekend. #NASCAR #RACING #NAVYAnniversary

I had the opportunity (and privilege) to attend the Kats-Firebirds game in Clarksville, and I was nothing short of awe-struck! In the past, I have seen the crowds, game day experience, and overall operations of a couple of teams in various leagues, but what we witnessed in F&M Bank Arena was something special!

Everything AAL Week 8
https://shadysportsnetwork.com/2026/06/06/everything-aal-week-8/
As far as the American Arena League goes, this was a quiet week; only a single AAL game was played due to the issues with the Wesbanco and the Wheeling Nailers hockey game. All in all, it wasn't the most entertaining weekend, but not every week can be a nail-biter and instant classics. As we wind down into the final three weeks, the games will get more intense, especially considering the Battle for those coveted top two sports! While the game wasn't the most intense, the news for 2027 was absolutely mind-blowing: two new expansion teams!
