Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series AutoTrader 500 race won by Tyler Reddick at Texas Motor Speedway seemed to make some headlines for all the wrong reasons.

One of the main storylines throughout the race was tire failures. In a race that saw 16 cautions, half of them were caused by tires coming apart.

Three drivers had their problems while leading the race, including Martin Truex Jr.

With 66 laps to go Sunday, Truex found himself in command of the race, but when he went into turn 3, a right rear tire let go which put him in the outside wall and ended his day prematurely.

Upon getting released from his mandatory infield care center trip, Truex was asked about the situation and what he thought about it all. He replied, “I don’t even know what to say, between crappy parts, tires exploding and all the bullshit we’re dealing with, it’s a joke.”

Truex was then asked, OK, (if you’re NASCAR) then what do you do to fix the problem.

“There’s a lot of people that make a lot of money to do this and get this stuff right,” Truex said. “That’s all I’m going to say about it.”

If your thinking that maybe NASCAR will look into someone else for tires, keep dreaming. GY pays them a fat check so they are allowed to gouge the teams each week.

adidas is dropping a new colorway of the Crazy 97 EQT (fka the EQT Elevation) that celebrates the 25th anniversary of the 1997 All-Star Game in Cleveland.

This rumor is no laughing matter for Lea Michele fans.

The 35-year-old is reportedly the producer’s pick to play Fanny Brice in “Funny Girl” once Beanie Feldstein leaves the role in September, according to Showbiz 411.

A representative for Michele declined to comment when contacted by The Post, which has also reached out to show publicists.

Michele has publicly manifested her desire to play the Barbra Streisand-original character for years. She got a taste on the first season of “Glee” when she sang “Don’t Rain on My Parade.” She also performed the show tune at the 2010 Tony Awards.

At that time, rumors swirled that she could be joining the musical after “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy’s bought the rights to “Funny Girl,” but a source told People she declined “mainly because she thought what was done on ‘Glee’ was everything she could have brought to the role.”

“We were thinking of doing it to do it right after ‘Glee’ but I did a lot of the songs from ‘Funny Girl’ on ‘Glee’ so it felt a like little soon, but I feel really ready to do it now, so maybe we could do it soon,” Michele told Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live” in 2017.

Last fall Michele also threw her support behind Feldstein, telling the “Little Me: Growing Up Broadway” podcast, “I just think that Beanie is an incredible choice for the production, and I think it’s going to be so wonderful.”

Fellow “Glee” alum Jane Lynch will also leave her role as Fanny’s mother in “Funny Girl” on Sept. 25. She has yet to be recast.

On Sunday, Michele performed “Touch Me” alongside the original cast of “Spring Awakening” at the 2022 Tony Awards. She has also previously appeared on Broadway in “Les Miserables,” “Ragtime” and “Fiddler on the Roof.”

“Yes, silence is complicity.”
