Analyst: Trump's diagnosis reinforces COVID as top election issue
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It's the most serious health threat to a sitting president in decades, and President Donald Trump's COVID-19 diagnosis could have both health and political implications ahead of Election Day.
With a month to go until the Nov. 3 election, news that President Trump and First Lady Melanie Trump tested positive for COVID-19 has political analysts saying the development adds an element of chaos into an already chaotic presidential campaign.
"The most important takeaway is the seriousness of the public health situation," Chris Hand, who served as chief of staff to former Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown, told News4Jax.
RELATED: President Trump says he and First Lady have tested positive for COVID-19 | Shock, sympathy, criticism: World reacts to news of Trump's infection
"This is obviously a very infectious and determined virus at any given time," Hand said Friday. "The president is the most protected person in the country. But obviously all the physical and medical security in the world can't stop COVID if people don't take the necessary precautions."
The positive test results have the potential for complicating an already contentious election. Hand believes the news has the potential to undermine the president's all-is-well messaging on the pandemic.
"I don't think there is any question about it," Hand said. "I think this reinforces COVID as the top issue of the 2020 election."
"Throughout the campaign, including Tuesday's debate, the president ridiculed Joe Biden for this frequent wearing of masks and for his cautious public engagement strategy and for his approach," Hand said. "Obviously this news undermines those attacks and focuses on President Trump's handling of the worst public health emergency since 1918."
The age of the president, who is 74, and his medical designation as being obese place him at a higher level of risk for complications resulting from the disease, which is caused by novel coronavirus. But a Jacksonville doctor said the relatively clean bill of health Trump has received offers reasons for optimism.
RELATED: Trump's age & health woes raise risk for COVID-19 illness
"From what we've had from the presidents' doctors' reports, they have declared him to be in good health, which is fantastic," Dr. Jonathan Kantor, an epidemiologist with the Penn Center of Epidemiology, said. "I believe he does have issues with cholesterol and, of course, his weight. Otherwise, his health is good."
"He doesn't have any known preexisting lung disease, things like that, which could be a risk factor. That said, his age itself is a risk factor," Kantor added.
Since President Trump has been active on the campaign trail and on the debate stage, there are questions and concerns about the potential for the spread of COVID-19 among those in close contact with the president.
"The two questions are: where did the president get it from? And how contagious could the president be to other people?" Kantor said. "Just because he is one of the most exposed people in the United States."
"He is going to these fundraisers and he is going to these rallies. He is going to have close contact with people that are not wearing masks and he is not wearing a mask," Kantor added.
So, there is the potential for spread. The White House is monitoring staffers and it has been suggested that people who have come in direct contact with the president get tested.
Concerning the ultimate impact on the campaign and election, it may depend on the president's diagnosis and health. In the near future, he will unlikely to be able to stage the kind of massive rallies that have energized his most loyal supporters.
And, for now, it calls into question the second presidential debate, which is set for Oct. 15.

Los Angeles will have the first monument dedicated to the braceros
Alexis F.
It will be inaugurated on Sunday, September 29 in the middle of a festival open to the public
Los Angeles will be the first city in the country to dedicate a monument to honor the memory of the more than 4 million Mexicans who came during World War II to work as braceros to the United States.
"It was time to have a monument to the bracero, and it is installed in a very interesting time when the benefits of immigration are being attacked and it is necessary to recognize the difficult work that immigrants do," said Councilman José Huizar, whose father Simon Huizar Bañuelos was a bracero.
"Several of my uncles were also braceros and they talked to me about how hard their life was by trampling fruit and vegetables. They did not eat or sleep well. They did not give them water. It was a very sad life. But that work in the field helped them get a few dollars, "he says.
This Sunday, September 29, Councilman José Huizar and the City of Los Angeles will celebrate cultural diversity and rich immigrant history with the opening of Migrant Square and the Bracero Monument.
Dan Medina works on the creation of the Monument to the Bracero that will be in the Plaza del Immigrante. (Photo provided by the councilor José Huizar's office).
The inauguration will take place in the middle of a public festival with the performance of musical groups such as Ozomatli, Los Rieleros and Don Pedro Rivera, who was also a bracero.
The Migrant Plaza has an area of 7,000 square feet and is located opposite Olvera Street at the corner of Spring and César Chavez streets in the city center.
"The opening of Migrant Plaza is a celebration to honor the many contributions immigrants have made to the city of Los Angeles," said Councilor Huizar.
And he tells that together with Baldomero Cápiz of the Binational Union of Braceros for eight years they worked on the idea of making a statue to honor the legacy of the braceros.
"When a new departmental development was made in César Chávez and Spring, we had the opportunity to obtain resources to improve the streets and sidewalks, and there we took the opportunity to make the immigrant's square and the Bracero monument," he explains.
Huizar talks that the Monument to the Bracero, is done by Dan Mendoza, the same artist who created the statue of Don Antonio Aguilar in the Olvera Square.
The Bracero Monument measures 19 feet and describes a Mexican man who leaves his family to travel to the North to work in the United States during the Bracer work programor.
This program was born in 1942 due to the shortage of labor in the countryside, mines and railroads during the time of the war. It continued until 1964 when it was closed amid complaints about low wages and poor working conditions. During its existence, the Bracero program employed 4.5 million Mexicans.
The Immigrant Plaza was designed by the garden architect of the Bureau of Street Services, Scott Shimatsu. It was built as part of the improvement project for pedestrians and streets for 3.2 million dollars.
The braceros will finally have their monument in Los Angeles (photo provided by Councilor José Huizar's office).
It limits a housing development of 355 units. As part of the urban landscape project, the Department of Cultural Affairs opened a contest for artists to present their vision of a monument to their cultural space.
A panel of community members selected the monument of the artist Dan Medina that honors the braceros and their contributions to the city of Los Angeles.
The opening of the Bracero monument and the Migrant Plaza will be at 7 p.m. on Sunday, September 29, north of Spring Street in Los Angeles.
Baldomero Capiz, son of a bracero, Cristóbal Capiz already deceased, estimates that there are about two million braceros of the 4.5 million who came to work under contract to the United States.
"Prior to this monument. The only other recognition that has been made to the braceros in California is when Bracero was given the name of a highway in Chualar, California in the Salinas Valley, "he recalls.
"That was based on a request we made to the California State Assembly because that was where 32 braceros died when the truck they were going to work on was crossed by a train in 1963," he says.
Capiz confesses to feeling great emotion and satisfaction because in Los Angeles he will see a monument to the bracero who recognizes his effort and dedication.

Q: Plot a horizontal bar chart with default values in R I have a DF like this:
df_test <- data.frame (ID  = c(88888, 99999),
                   Cluster1 = c(0, 1),Cluster2 = c(0, 2),Cluster3 = c(1, 3)
                   )

     ID Cluster1 Cluster2 Cluster3
1 88888        0        0        1
2 99999        1        2        3

Now I want a horizontal bar graph with the clusters on the y axis. All bars should go from 0-3 (min - max), because this is the range of the clusters. As color I want to have three gradations, 0-1 red, 1-2 yellow and 2-3 green. The values from the DF should then be shown as an arrow or line on the overall bar. Is this somehow possible with ggplot2?

A: You can use the geom_col following example here: https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/geom_bar.html
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
library(ggplot2)

First, make the data tidy:
df <- df_test %>% pivot_longer(cols = 2:4,
                         names_to = "Cluster",
                         values_to = "value")

Keep the largest of each cluster for making a bar chart:
df <- df %>% group_by(Cluster) %>%
  filter(value == max(value)) %>%
  ungroup() %>%
# identify color scheme:
  mutate(cols = case_when(value <=1 ~ "red",
                     value > 1 & value <= 2 ~ "yellow",
                     value > 2 ~ "green"))

ggplot(df) + geom_col(aes(x = value, y=Cluster, fill = Cluster)) +
  scale_colour_manual(
    values = df$cols,
    aesthetics = c("colour", "fill")
  )

Indian Army kills 15-year boy in Occupied Kashmir

A 15-year old boy has been killed by the Indian forces in Occupied Kashmir. According to Kashmir Media Service, Indian forces had arrested a 15-year old named Yawar from District Pulwama and took him to an Army Camp. Yawar was tortured in the Army Camp.
The Army had tortured the youth as they had kicked and punched him and thrown him in front of their houses. They had forced him to come to the camp again with his school card but Yawar's condition had worsened.
He was suffering from severe headache and vomiting as he was taken to Sri Nagar Hospital where he couldn't bear the injuries and died.
According to the locals, a hand grenade was thrown at an Army Camp in Chandgam area of Pulwama district. After the attack, the forces had snatched the Identity Cards of many youngsters and told them to collect them at the Camp after identification. This action had spread fear among youngsters.
It must be noted that Indian Occupied Kashmir is still under curfew after the Indian government had revoked the special status of the state on August 5. Transport and Communication system is blacked out which has made the entire valley into a prison. Indian PM Narendra Modi is still not removing the curfew despite the concerns of international community.

Sample Novel Chapter
Alloy Entertainment (Warner Bros.)
- Based on their original logline: In a near-future, a complex romance ensues between a teen girl and the boy whose job it is to watch her.
A1524: A Love Story
Maybe you've heard this story before, but, apparently, there was a time when you had to input a code into a machine if you wanted to talk to someone. Each person's number was randomly assigned and, if you didn't have it, there was no other way to contact them. When Sabina was a little girl, Grandpa Harris would tell tales of lost children who couldn't be reunited with their families, of people who fell in love at first sight but were incapable of finding each other again, and others still who wouldn't step away from the machine for days at a time, willing it to ring, their sanity slowly drifting away when it didn't. Society was basically chaos. People felt untethered, powerless. They were afraid all the time. Grandpa Harris also told Sabina about this large and heavy book, which was just an extremely long list of everyone's personal code that they distributed to each home every year. Sabina never believed that part though. He always took his stories a little too far.
Eventually, they improved technology so people could communicate better and faster, but it was never enough. Everyone wanted to know about everyone and everything all the time, and no invention, not the Internet, not even social media, managed to fill that need. Then the Bubble was created, and they all lived happily ever after.
Going to the art fair was Gibson's idea. Clearly he'd done his research, good Bubble boys always do. As she watches him walk toward her, Sabina feels a little pang of guilt. She might have gone too far with her cute black dress, high heels, and bright lipstick, but the Bubble kept sending her outfit suggestions, and "friendly reminders" that dressing up for a date is important to make a good impression. She also received a list of conversation topics, Gibson's likes and dislikes, and general tips on how to make things "fun and enjoyable" based on each of their Bubble history. No wonder divorce rates are so low.
The crowd is growing outside the exhibition center and the constant humming from everyone's updates is starting to get to Sabina. She hasn't been around this many people in a while. The chip on her wrist lights up, sending a bright beam up to the sky. Since she's standing close to a group of other college girls, several of them with long dark hair, Gibson must have tapped on her profile to find her. When that feature was introduced a couple of years ago, anyone who didn't already love the Bubble was instantly seduced by the ability to locate anyone they know within a split second. The last time Sabina used it was for Charlie, and his light never switched on. She tried for weeks, obsessively, until she discovered that his chip would never turn on again.

Sample TV pilot
- After enjoying my TV pilot, FASHION HIGH, an exexcutive at Amazon Studios invited me to pitch original ideas for their under 12 programming.
- They picked REWRITING NORA and I then wrote the original half-hour pilot.
REWRITING NORA
Half-hour pilot
Logline: Nora, 12, is an aspiring writer who cannot wait to be done with childhood and enter the exciting grown-up life she dreams of. When she discovers that her future self has become a successful author telling stories of her childhood, Nora tries everything in her power to change her life trajectory.
INT. NORA'S BEDROOM - DAY
NORA, 12, stands in front of a lectern made out of a pile of books. A plastic sunflower serves as a microphone. Nora wears a pantsuit, grown-up glasses, and a strict bun.
She takes a deep breath.
Thank you all for coming today.
She glances at the large purple notebook on the lectern. The cover reads: The Adventures of Zadie by Nora Mae Ballinger.
NORA (CONT'D)
I started working on this book when
I was just twelve years-old and...
MAGGIE (O.S.)
Attention everybody!
I'm so pleased to finally share it
Nora opens the notebook. She's about to start reading when -
We are looking for a pair of red
pumps. Last seen yesterday at
approximately nine twenty-five PM.
Nora takes a guilty peek at the too-big red shoes on her feet but continues anyway.
"She had made it. Zadie had finally
arrived in the big bright city."
This is not a drill.
Nora winces as she hears fast approaching FOOTSTEPS.
I'm sorry. We seem to be having a
technical problem.
Nora trips on the shoes as she hurries through the crowd.
Let's take a look at Nora's audience. In neatly arranged rows, we have: a globe, a vintage encyclopedia, a vase of flowers, a clock, a straw hat, CLEO, the family's tuxedo cat, and other trinkets solemnly gathered for the occasion.
INT. NORA'S HOUSE - DAY
Nora pokes her head out: all clear. She makes her way through the cozy suburban home.
I repeat: this is not a drill.
The shoes slow Nora down and she comes face to face with her mom, MAGGIE, 40, who is dressed the same as Nora.
You know the saying about walking a
mile in someone else's shoes?
Maggie holds her hand out. Nora surrenders the shoes.
MAGGIE (CONT'D)
You're not really going to school
You're going to work like this.
Maggie waits for Nora to give in. Nora reluctantly takes her jacket and glasses off and loosens her hair.
Now I look so... ordinary.
Maggie turns around. Nora puts the jacket back on.
EXT. NORA'S HOUSE - DAY
Nora leaves for school and bumps into her neighbor JIMMY, 12, heading in the same direction. Jimmy takes in her outfit.
Where we all have to go every day
for years and years and years.
Until they set us free.
So... looking forward to the
weekend?
Yes! I have so much work to do.
Like, homework?
On my novel. Serious writers have
to write every day. You know, to
keep the creative juices flowing.
Jimmy doesn't know.

Guido Migliozzi wins Kenya Open Golf title
Posted on March 17, 2019 March 17, 2019 Author Sabuni Khwa Sabuni	Comment(0)
Italian international professional golfer Guido Migliozzi is the 2019 Magical Kenya Open winner.
The twenty two year old Migliozzi claimed the 2019 title after returning a score of 2-under par, 69 for round four to take his overall score to 16-under par 268.
For his efforts over the last four days of competition, Miglozzi pocketed a total of KShs. 20.5 Million.
The Italian started his campaign at the 2019 Magical Kenya Open with a score of 4-under par after round one, following it up with a 2-under par score on Friday to successfully make the cut to play at the weekend.
It was at round three that the Italian turned on the style with an impressive 7-under par score to give him a share of the lead going into the final round.
Playing in the last group of the day, Migliozzi went toe to toe with fellow day three leader Adri Arnaus as well as Louis De Jager, Justin Harding, Gaganjeet Bhullar and Kalle Samooja, who all had a taste of the lead in the course of a thrilling final day, at the Karen Country Club.
The Italian had a shaky start to his round, dropping his first shot at the par-3, 4th, following this up with back to back birdies at the 6th & 7th. A further dropped shot at the 9th however saw him return a front nine score of par,35 for a three way tie at the top of the leader board.
It was at the back nine, where the 22-year-old would prevail, starting off with a birdie on the par-4, 10th and another at the 12th to hold a one shot lead. At this point, the crowd and pressure was building up steadily, Miglozzi went on to show some steady nerves, to hold par in his last six holes to take the title.
Speaking after his round, Migliozzi expressed his joy in winning the tournament and relished the feeling of playing at the 2019 Magical Kenya Open.
"I enjoyed the last two days very much. The pressure was a lot and I'm happy about how I have played under pressure, also with my putting game that I worked a lot on. There was a lot of pressure on the course, obviously. After the birdie at the 12th I was leading but it was tough. I just kept patient towards the end, that was it." He said.
Commenting on his round on the day, "I just kept patient through the day and my second shot on the 18th was a very nice shot."
"Yesterday I went to the left at the 18th with a two iron, today I went with a four iron, just to be sure that I don't go left and I had the perfect distance for an eight iron, it was really nice. Easy two putts to win." He said.
He concluded by thanking his team members "I would like to thank every part of my team."
Migliozzi follows in the footsteps of Major Champions Seve Ballesteros, Ian Woosnam and Trevor Immelman in winning this tournament, and becomes the second consecutive Italian winner of the Kenya Open, after Lorenzo Gagli last year.
Adri Arnaus, alongside South African duo of Justin Harding and Louis De Jager had to settle for joint second, a shot behind Migliozzi, on a score of 15-under par, 269. India's Bhullar Gaganjeet finished a further shot behind on 14-over for a fifth place finish.
Kenya's Simon Ngige finished as the best placed Kenyan, after playing a round of 2-under par on the day to take his total to 5-under par, 279, to see him tied for 25th, alongside the 2016 Kenya Open winner Sebastian Soderberg. The other Kenyan to have made the cut, Justus Madoya finished tied for 72nd, with an overall score of 5 over par, 289.
Meanwhile Scotland's Robert Macintyre, shot an impressive round of 8-under par, 63, the best of the tournament, placing him tied for 17th on an overall score of 7-under par, 277. The 2018 winning Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjorn, was tied for 12th place on an overall score of 8-under par

BLANDING, Utah — U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke took an aerial tour Monday of one of America's newest and most hotly contested monuments — one of 27 he's been ordered to review by President Donald Trump to determine if they were properly established.
Zinke's tour guide for the helicopter ride over the 1.3-million acre (5,300 square kilometers) swath of southern Utah with red rock plateaus, cliffs and canyons was Gov. Gary Herbert, one of several prominent Republican leaders in the state who oppose Bears Ears National Monument.
Herbert, U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch and the rest of the all-GOP congressional delegation consider the monument creation by former President Barack Obama an unnecessary layer of federal control that will hurt local economies by closing the area to new energy development. They also say it isn't the best way to protect the land.
"The only way to truly learn about and understand a place is with boots on the ground," Zinke posted to Twitter after landing in Blanding for the second day of his four-day trip to see Bears Ears and the Grand Staircase-Escalante.
Zinke and Herbert were expected to hold a news conference later in the day before taking a hike to one of the ancient ruins within the Bears Ears site.
The monument review is rooted in the belief of Trump and other critics that a law signed by President Theodore Roosevelt allowing presidents to declare monuments has been improperly used to protect wide expanses of lands instead of places with particular historical or archaeological value.
Conservation groups contend that the monument review puts in limbo protections on areas that are home to ancient cliff dwellings, towering Sequoias, deep canyons and ocean habitats where seals, whales and sea turtles roam.
In Blanding, with a population of 3,400 people, two large banners read, "#RescindBearsEars," reflecting the popular sentiment among residents.
Those who want Zinke to leave Bears Ears alone to preserve lands considered sacred by tribes made their voices heard, too. Tara Benally, a member of Navajo Nation, was standing just outside the Blanding airport wearing a shirt commemorating the December declaration of Bears Ears National Monument.
He insisted there is no predetermined outcome of his review, saying he may not recommend the monuments be made smaller or rescinded, and he might even recommend an addition.
Zinke has been tasked with making a recommendation on the Bears Ears monument by June 10, about 2½ months before a final report about all the monuments.
The two monuments he's reviewing in Utah are quite large. Created in 1996, Grand Staircase-Escalante is 1.9 million acres (7,700 square kilometers), about the size of Delaware. Bears Ears is a bit smaller at 1.3 million acres.
Environmental groups have vowed to file lawsuits if Trump attempts to rescind monuments — a move that would be unprecedented.
On Tuesday, Zinke plans to tour the Bears Ears area on horseback.
"I think, sometimes, the best way to see things is slow and easy with a horse," Zinke said, referring to his commute ride through the streets of Washington, D.C., on his first day as Interior secretary.

Featured Interview Catching Up With NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Driver Ben Rhodes

Catching Up With NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Driver Ben Rhodes
In this weeks feature story, we catch up with NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Ben Rhodes. Rhodes, a Louisville, Kentucky native, drives the No. 41 ThorSport Racing Ford and has been competing in the Truck Series full time since 2016 with one part-time season in 2014, competing in only four races that year.
We talk everything racing from how he got his breakthrough in the sport, to the NASCAR Next class, how he and Carl Edwards became friends, and what Rhodes thinks of his season so far.
Before moving through the ranks of being a racecar driver, Rhodes started at a young age just like most other drivers.
"I actually started racing when I was seven years old at Sportsdorm Speedway right across the river from my hometown in Louisville, Kentucky," Rhodes said. "It all started at home. I was on four-wheelers, dirt bikes, go-karts, all at a very young age, at about three-years-old. Whenever my brother and I started racing the go-karts around the house, down the driveway trying to spin the go-karts around as many time as possible, still keep going in a straight direction, I think my mom figured out real quickly we were a little bored."
"She talked to my dad and we went out to a local racetrack," he said. "I'll tell you the first time didn't go so well, but after sticking with it and I'm glad I did, I think I found a passion and something I loved ever since."
From there on, the Kentucky native progressed through the ranks of NASCAR competing in the K&N Pro East Series, which is a developmental series for all young NASCAR stars. He ran there for two years earning five wins, 13 top fives and 18 top 10 finishes, along with six poles. Rhodes describes how he got that breakthrough in the sport.
"It was interesting for me to kind of move up to that level," Rhodes said. "The cars were heavier, they still had a very similar setup to the late model stocks that I drove. But they were heavier, more horsepower and they drove like a true stock car. So it was a little different and it was a little bit of a learning curve in 2013. I did part time in 2013 and I felt ready."
"I felt ready and I felt that 2014 was our time to shine. Boy, it was a really good season. I mean it was interesting again to see that we had pit stops. They weren't live pit stops, but there were just so many different things we had to work with that season that I've never worked on before. It was such a huge stepping stone and confidence builder for my entire career."
Rhodes also talks about how different the pit stops were as it was his first time doing them.
"It wasn't too hard," the No. 41 ThorSport driver said. "They weren't live, but it was still interesting that, hey you're racing, going hard as you can and then you have to slow down and come down to a complete stop for four or five minutes. I think that was actually harder to adjust to than the current pit stops that we're doing in NASCAR, the live pit stops. Just for the fact that you had to come to a complete stop, you had to wait for so many minutes with the guys working on the car and everything. It was just kind of weird to experience that."
From there, Rhodes competed in four Truck Series races in 2014 driving for Steve Turner but ultimately went to the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2015 driving for JR Motorsports, for 10 races. It wasn't until after that season when he got the call from ThorSport to drive for them full time.
"ThorSport Racing actually contacted me after my season with JR Motorsports," Rhodes said. "I'm really glad that they did. It's been a really awesome experience ever since. Duke Thorson is such an incredible guy. Duke and Rhonda Thorson, they own the team, but their leadership stands from the top and works their way down through the company. Awesome culture."
"Just their love for the sport," he said. "They don't do it for the money. They put a lot of money into it and they do it just because they love it. They love it just as much as anybody in the shop, if not more. It's pretty cool to see that. I've enjoyed every moment there. Sure, we had our ups and downs, but 2018 I'm looking to really go after this championship. I know that we have the championship caliber team and the equipment to do it."
Rhodes first NASCAR stock car race was at Bristol competing in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East. He started 21st and finished ninth that day. Rhodes talks about how hectic that day was.
"It was interesting," Rhodes said. "We led so many laps that we led the entire advertised distance. And then on the last restart, a driver that kind of started the rivalry, drove me going down into Turns 1 and 2 on the restart, took us three wide and basically doored us up the track, and almost hit the wall. Unfortunately, we lost the race because of that, but we dominated the whole time."
"If you're going to be at Bristol, leading is the best place to be," he said. "You don't want to be in the back where all the carnage is. We had a really clean racecar up until that point. I was pretty mad afterward."
He also doesn't really have a race he wishes that he could do over again. But just small mistakes that Rhodes wishes he could correct if given a second chance.
"That's hard to say," the Kentucky native said. "Any race I wish I had a chance to redo. You never have a perfect race. Even our win at in Las Vegas, it wasn't the perfect race. It worked out, but it wasn't the perfect race. Every single race, there's something I want to do over."
"I wouldn't say it would be Bristol," he said. "I would want to redo a race that I made a mistake on my own. It would be a race, where I could have easily fixed something and had a lot better finish. Maybe not even winning, but a lot better finish did not wreck the piece of equipment. Just really trying to make things better, not so much get myself the win. There's plenty of those races where I could have fixed as well."
The 2018 NASCAR Next Class was recently announced with drivers Anthony Alfredo, Chase Purdy, Riley Herbst, Hailie Deegan, Derek Kraus, Will Rodgers, Zane Smith, Tanner Thorson, and Ryan Vargas. Rhodes was apart of the NASCAR Next class early on in his career and he explains how special it was to be a part of that, and who he thinks might shine from this class.
"It's hard to say," Rhodes said. "They're all really good drivers. They're all kinds of superstars from their own domain. I think they're all shining bright. That's obviously why they were chosen in the NASCAR Next group."
"For me, I just have good memories spending time and racing my competitors, and learning about one another and just seeing a different side of NASCAR that I hadn't seen before. I am actually really grateful that I had the NASCAR Next program and that I was a part of the group. It's pretty neat to see where that started and where those drivers are from the first class, and where those drivers are in all the other classes after that. Just seeing how spot on they've been and scouting out talent."
Rhodes sponsor, Alpha Energy Solutions, has been with him ever since he started racing in the K&N series. They are based out of his hometown in Louisville, Kentucky and he explains what they're mission is.
"Alpha Energy Solutions is a mechanical service contractor," Rhodes said. "It sounds like your local power company right? But it's not, it's a service contractor. Essentially, your electricity, heating and air, anything that keeps you nice and comfortable in your house. That's what they work on. They don't work on it for houses, but big commercial buildings. So, big offices, exhibitions centers, stadiums, just big buildings. They're based out of my hometown, so that's been a cool experience."
There's at least one track that he wishes that was on the Truck Series schedule and Rhodes thinks it would be interesting to see it happen.
"I would like to see Watkins-Glen," he said. "That's one of my favorite tracks. I loved it ever since I was a little kid. I remember playing on the NASCAR games and that's the only track I ever wanted to race. I've had decent runs there, but I felt like I can do a lot better than what my results were when I ran there in the Xfinity Series and the K&N East."
"So I would love to take trucks there," Rhodes said. "I think you would be wide open through esses. It would be a super fast track for us. There would be a lot of drafting and I think it would be a unique race. Something that Watkins-Glen really hasn't seen before."
There's one thing that fans might not know about Rhodes, but they could possibly know about it already due to his social media channels.
"That's a tough one," he said. "What do they not know about me? Gosh. I don't know, I've got my pilot license. Going for a little flight Thursday and some fans know it. They keep up with me on my social media. Others may not, but I enjoy flying and using that license being able to commute to different sponsors. Just kind of using that to my advantage with the busy travel schedule."
The Louisville, Kentucky native jokes around about the last famous person he has in his contacts and brings up a surprising fact and connection, that he made through his pilot's license.
"Celine Dion," Rhodes jokingly says. "I'm just joking. I don't have Celine Dion on my phone. Honestly, it's probably NASCAR drivers. NASCAR drivers, we're all kind of in a group or community, I guess you could say. Everyone knows each other. Probably the last one that I added was Carl Edwards before he announced his retirement from the sport."
"I haven't really been able to keep up with Carl," he said, "ever since he stepped away. "I wish I did. I probably should send him a text message to see what's going on, especially when we made our Midwest swing because he's a pretty good pilot. It would have been really neat to go up into a plane with him and learn a few things."
"But no, I haven't texted him," Rhodes said. "I need too. I think that would be kind of cool."
"It was actually Ford Championship weekend," the Kentucky native said, "2016 Ford Championship weekend right before his last race of his career, at least for now. It was the night before his race, we actually had met. We were staying in the same place, the same little area, the community if you want to call it. We met at an ice cream parlor. He was there with his kids and I was there with my family, and we just kind of chatted a little bit."
So far in the 2018 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season, Rhodes has three top fives and five top 10 finishes, along with one pole. He assessed his season so far and thinks they can be a little better than they are currently.
"It's okay," Rhodes said. "It's not where we want to be. It's not where we should be. Just okay. I do feel like our season is going to become a lot better. Leaving Daytona, we were seventh in the points including a 10 point penalty. Going into Kansas we were second in points without even a win yet. We had so many top fives, so many top 10s and it was just really cool to see that momentum that we're building."
"Two engine issues this year and a mechanical failure at Dover," he said, "you know, we're still not doing that bad. We're fourth in points right now and I would like to see us further up. We should be further up. I do believe that we could have three wins right now and it's just not me saying this, but my team, crew members, mechanics, are legitimately mad that we should have a couple of wins by now. They're really mad about it with just the issues we've had."
"We need to get the issues, get rid of the mistakes, any issues on pit road, any issues with part failures, engine failures. We need all of that to go away. Once that's gone, once we fix all of those things, I think we're going to be right on track going after a championship and get multiple wins this year."
Rhodes has a Facebook live show that is called BR841 and it airs every other Wednesday. He explains how that came about.
"I'm enjoying it so far," Rhodes said. "We used to actually have this show called Live at Five. I would do it Monday's at five. Just kind of Facebook living with the fans, just interacting. I turned it into more of a show this year called BR841, every other Wednesday night at 8:41. Kind of playing off my 41 number. Essentially, I have fans come on as guests and they join the show via video, and then we have other guests on like my teammate Myatt Snider, spotters, people from various racetracks, done big giveaways."
"So it's just something, a cool way interact with fans," he said. "It's different. Kind of experimenting with different and new show rundown layout. We might change it up in the future, but we're kind of having fun with it."
