Almost all of that win came from the Strip and downtown Las Vegas.

Have we seen the last of the Reno Aces, or at least the Reno Aces that we have come to know? A season without ticket, food and drink and parking sales could prove fatal to minor league baseball operations across the country. If and when the Aces return to the field, will we be able to watch? Will there be bobblehead, blanket, jersey and hat giveaways? Will we have to stand six feet apart in line for an hour or more just to get into the stadium? Will we have to sit six feet apart? Will we have to wear a mask? Will teams in the Aces’ Pacific Division still travel across the country to play teams in the American Division? Will the Aces schedule consist of just 35 games each against Fresno, Sacramento, Salt Lake and Las Vegas?

It’s been a rollercoaster week for NASCAR, both on and off the track. But it was an off-track situation that once again put the series into the national news. An apparent racially-based incident turned out to be something else, but not until the entire garage area walked the pit lane in support of Bubba Wallace. The FBI, called in by NASCAR, determined that the “noose” found in his garage was a knot tied in the rollup door’s pull-down rope and had been there since at least last fall. NASCAR’s statement on the incident read, in part, “We appreciate the FBI’s quick and thorough investigation and are thankful to learn that this was not an intentional, racist act against Bubba. We remain steadfast in our commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all who love racing.” Of course, there’s still the Confederate flag issue for NASCAR to deal with, as demonstrators flew flags outside Talladega Speedway and overhead on an airplane-towed banner.

WASHINGTON — The number of laid-off workers seeking U.S. unemployment aid barely fell last week, and the reopening of small businesses has leveled off — evidence that the job market's gains may have stalled just as a surge in coronavirus cases is endangering an economic recovery. The government also reported Thursday the economy contracted at a 5% annual rate in the first three months of the year, a further sign of the damage being inflicted by the viral pandemic. The economy is expected to shrink at a roughly 30% rate in the current quarter. That would be the worst quarterly contraction, by far, since record-keeping began in 1948. Economists do expect a snap-back in the second half of the year, though not enough to reverse all the damage.
