Honda Claims Third Consecutive INDYCAR title, Dixon His Sixth Drivers’ Championship at St. Petersburg Season Finale

October 26, 2020

Scott Dixon scored his sixth INDYCAR Drivers' Championship Sunday at the season-ending Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, while Honda claimed its third consecutive Manufacturers' Title.

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida, Oct. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Honda today claimed its ninth INDYCAR Manufacturers’ Championship – and third consecutive title – as Scott Dixon scored the 15^th podium finish for the company this season and succeeded in earning his sixth Drivers’ title, highest among all active drivers and trailing only the legendary A.J. Foyt in career championships won.

For Honda and Honda Performance Development, the company’s North American racing division, today’s result marks the first championship “three-peat” of titles in the 27-year history of HPD. Entering Indy car competition in 1994, Honda won its first manufacturers’ title in 1996. Additional championships followed in 1998-99, 2001, 2004-05, and 2018-19.

Dixon’s championship is the 17^th for a Honda-powered Indy car driver, and the 11^th with multi-manufacturer competition. Now a Honda Indy car team owner, Jimmy Vasser won Honda’s first drivers’ title in 1996. Other Honda-powered Indy car champions include Alex Zanardi (1997-98); Juan Pablo Montoya (1999); Gil de Ferran (2000-01); Tony Kanaan (2004); Dan Wheldon (2005); Sam Hornish Jr. (2006); Dario Franchitti (2007, 2009-11); and Dixon (2008, 2013, 2018, 2020).

Today’s 100-lap season finale took place in hot and very humid conditions, resulting in a brief, light rain shower with approximately 20 laps remaining. Pole qualifier Will Power led the opening five laps, but was soon passed by Andretti Autosport’s Alexander Rossi, who went on to lead a race-high 61 laps before ending his day with wall contact on Lap 74.

Other Honda-powered race leaders included Colton Herta, Graham Rahal, James Hinchcliffe and Alex Palou. But shortly after Rossi’s crash, Herta also slid off course, leading to an 11^th-place finish. Just moments later, Hinchcliffe was the next to fall victim to the tricky conditions, spinning in the final turn and then colliding with fellow Honda driver Jack Harvey as he attempted to rejoin the circuit. Both would have to pit for repairs, dropping them out of the lead pack. Palou’s fuel gamble came up this a few laps shy of a podium finish, as his late stop for a splash dropped him to 13^th at the checkers.

Meanwhile, after starting 11^th – and needing only a top-10 finish to clinch the title – Dixon methodically worked his way to the front, moving into third on Lap 80. Combined with four wins during the 14-race season, the podium result was more than enough for Dixon to claim the title.

Next
Sunday’s race concludes Honda’s championship-winning 2020 NTT IndyCar Series. The 2021 season gets underway March 7, with a return to the Florida Gulf Coast for the next running of the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.

Quotes
Scott Dixon (Chip Ganassi Racing Honda) Started 11^th, finished third; has won his sixth INDYCAR Drivers’ Championship: “It’s all the team. I can’t thank everybody on this team enough. Obviously, [team owner] Chip [Ganassi], [race directors] Mike [Hull] and Barry [Wanser]; and everybody involved – Honda. I’m proud to be powered by Honda and what they’ve been able to pull out this year. They nailed it. Big thanks to everybody. My family – I’m glad my [daughters] and [spouse] Emma are here. I can’t thank everybody enough. PNC Bank, two out of three years (as champion) – that’s pretty good going.”

“It’s never just one thing or one person. For me, it’s about the team effort. We had a lot of [internal] changes in the offseason. And we know next year is going to be the same, but huge thanks again to everyone on the team. Now we’re going to have a beer.”

Ted Klaus (President, Honda Performance Development) on today’s season-ending race, Honda’s ninth – and third consecutive – Manufacturers’ Championship and Scott Dixon’s sixth Drivers’ Title: “Thank you ‘Team HPD’. Every one of you played an important role in this historic achievement, throughout the off-season and all through this year. You executed against adversity, and never lifted off the throttle. We dominated the Indianapolis 500 and brought home the drivers’ and manufacturers’ championships, and that is an enormous accomplishment. To our partner teams, INDYCAR and our competitors: job well done in 2020, thank you all. We will celebrate tonight, but our next goal is to bring even more Honda power to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES in 2021.”

Texas home sales soar, housing inventory declines in 2020’s third quarter

October 26, 2020

0

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The number of Texas homes sold from July to September 2020 increased nearly 19% compared to the same time frame last year, according to the 2020-Q3 Texas Quarterly Housing Report released today by Texas Realtors.

“The Texas real estate market’s resiliency, especially in the middle of a pandemic crisis, is nothing short of incredible, though our housing supply is still critically low,” said Cindi Bulla, chairman of Texas Realtors. “We are hard at work looking for the supply solutions necessary to keep our market healthy and make the American dream of homeownership attainable to every Texan.”

Home sales increased 18.4%, with 119,642 homes sold in the third quarter of 2020. Statewide, the median price increased 8.6% to $266,000. Of all the homes sold within the third quarter, 34.1% were priced from $200,000 to $299,999, the highest share of sales among all price-class distributions.

Jim Gaines, Ph.D., chief economist with the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, commented, “The Texas housing market experienced a strong push-through of demand from the second quarter into the third quarter. Active listings saw a sharp drop with many sellers hesitating to list their property in the middle of a pandemic. However, as the economy and employment numbers continue to recover, we anticipate end-of-year sales figures will be higher than 2019.”

Active listings declined 32.4% in Q3 to 71,569 listings. Texas homes spent an average of 52 days on the market, two days more than the third quarter of 2019.

Housing inventory in Texas declined 1.3 months to 2.3 months of inventory. According to the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, a market balanced between supply and demand has between 6.0 and 6.5 months of inventory.

Bulla concluded, “Although our real estate market remains strong, the data in this report shows there are still long-term implications regarding this housing shortage that need answers, and finding those solutions will remain a major focus for Texas Realtors at the state and local level for 2020 and beyond.”

Telluriders Team celebrates victory on the Rebelle Rally podium

Relentless and Resilient Kia Rebelles Finish Second Overall in X-Cross Class

– 2020 Telluride SX crossed the finish line after eight grueling days in the unforgiving California and Nevada deserts

– Telluriders team prove their unstoppable spirit with several significant stage wins throughout rally

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Team Telluriders triumphantly crossed the finish line in the 2020 Telluride in the fifth annual Rebelle Rally, coming in overall second place in the X-Cross class. The powerhouse duo, made up of Alyssa Roenigk (driver) and Sabrina Howells (navigator), demonstrated their “Give it Everything” attitude, using their invaluable set of skills to make smart and calculated decisions tailored to the Telluride’s capability, ultimately allowing it to shine and finish the tough, off-road rally.

“This is a momentous achievement for Kia,” said Sean Yoon, president & CEO, Kia Motors North America & Kia Motors America. “Thanks to Alyssa and Sabrina’s grit in the arduous Rebelle Rally, they helped raise the Telluride’s credibility to new heights. Their huge accomplishment will go down in Kia history and we couldn’t be more proud of our team.”

From Lake Tahoe to the border of Mexico, Team Telluriders graciously handled whatever challenges the course threw at them. After facing tougher obstacles on rocky terrain at the start, Alyssa and Sabrina were keen on the Telluride’s strengths, using it to their advantage in the following days to result in several stage wins.

“Alyssa, Sabrina and the Telluride did such a great job in this year’s rally,” said Rebelle Rally founder, Emily Miller. We consider the vehicle as the third teammate, and all three handled the challenge with grace. They are an exceptional team.”

The team was able to clinch second place in the X-Cross class after excelling in the sand dunes, where the Telluride effortlessly floated over the sandy landscape to hit several checkpoints first before several competitors, taking the win for the most points scored on the final day of the competition.

“We are so proud of our overall performance and our comeback to take second in the X-Cross category at the 2020 Rebelle Rally,” said Alyssa and Sabrina. “On the final day, when we pulled up to checkpoints deep in the Imperial Sand Dunes and saw the look on the faces of the 4×4 teams when we beat them there – that is a memory that will stick in our minds for a long time. The Telluride was an incredibly capable third teammate and we were grateful for the opportunity to take her on such an awesome adventure.”

Kia was a first-time competitor in the fifth annual Rebelle Rally, competing in the X-Cross Class with minimal modifications, including a skidplate to protect the fuel and oil pan area and all-terrain tires.

Birth control, breast and cervical cancer screenings, STI testing and other healthcare services available

LUBBOCK, Texas, Oct. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas announced the opening of its new Lubbock health center.

“Planned Parenthood is delighted to return to Lubbock with our brand-new health center and provide trusted, affordable healthcare services,” said Ken Lambrecht, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas. “Our goal in Lubbock is to contribute to the healthcare network by providing essential healthcare services. We’re proud to be part of Lubbock’s friendly, diverse community.”

“Everyone deserves a life that is healthy, happy, and free from shame and stigma,” said Angela Martinez, Manager of the Lubbock health center. “All are welcome in our health center and we look forward to being a healthcare resource for the Lubbock community.”

“I represent the one-in-five women who have relied upon Planned Parenthood for my health care needs,” said Kimberleigh Gonzalez Williams, a Lubbock mom and healthcare professional. “Sex education and healthcare options should be accessible and affordable to all bodies, and Planned Parenthood helps bring this reality to our community.”

The Planned Parenthood Lubbock health center is open for in-person and telemedicine healthcare appointments same-day and next-day for patients seeking the following healthcare services:

breast and cervical cancer screenings
full range of birth control methods (including IUDs and implants)
testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
HIV tests
PrEP and PEP medication to prevent HIV transmission
treatment for urinary tract and vaginal infections
annual well checks
HPV vaccines, flu vaccines, and other essential healthcare services

Medication and surgical abortion services will be provided at a later point during the year ahead.

All are welcome at Planned Parenthood regardless of insurance or documentation status, income level, where they live or who they love. Planned Parenthood is proud to be a trusted resource for LGBTQ patients.

Affordable healthcare services: Uninsured patients may be eligible for patient assistance funding for birth control; breast and cervical cancer screenings; STI testing and treatment; and HPV vaccines to prevent certain types of cancer.

Texas has the highest percentage of uninsured residents of any state according to the Texas Medical Association and healthcare disparities that disproportionally impact people with low incomes and people of color. Lubbock and surrounding communities face rates of STIs and teen pregnancy that exceed both state and national averages, along with other health outcome challenges. Lubbock County’s uninsured adult rate was 11 percent above the national average according to the 2019 Community Health Needs Assessment.

For the past three years, a priority for Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas has been to expand healthcare services in West Texas to increase access to affordable healthcare. In late 2019, Planned Parenthood expanded access to telemedicine across West Texas via the Planned Parenthood Direct app.

Giovanna Mussapp’s new book Tormenta en Mi Ojo: Comarca de Zara Dalmacia, a young girl’s harrowing viewpoint of war and its horrors that changed her life

October 23, 2020

0

ATLANTA, Oct. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Tormenta en Mi Ojo: Comarca de Zara Dalmacia was created by Giovanna Mussapp. Giovanna is an author, nurse, and personal assistant to an ophthalmologist. She later settled in Costa Rica and worked at the Markom Advertising Agency and La Promotora.

Giovanna said this about her book: “When a beautiful sky turns into hell to make room for terror…

Children, without being guilty of anything, must shelter their lives and their innocent minds in a time capsule to be able to survive the air attack during a war. The preamble to death kills childhood memory; but in this case, it comes out through a supernatural miracle and a mind with an extraordinary childhood memory, which will make the reader shudder. What is delusional becomes the way in which the human can become good or bad, a monster or a lamb. Thus, a good family can be the victim of post-traumatic war syndrome, leaving the future mute and absent. That is war.”

Published by Page Publishing, Giovanna Mussapp’s new book Tormenta en Mi Ojo: Comarca de Zara Dalmacia will transform the readers’ perspective of war by giving insight to the terrors experienced by a young girl that forever left scars within her body, heart, and mind.

Consumers who wish to understand the impact of war on the innocence of children can purchase Tormenta en Mi Ojo: Comarca de Zara Dalmacia in any bookstore or online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Marisol de la Caridad García De Corte’s new book En el Umbral del Shaddai, ac compendium of evoking poems that reflect on humanity’s response to the grace and love of God

October 23, 2020

0

HIALEAH, Fla., Oct. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book En el Umbral del Shaddai was created by Marisol de la Caridad García De Corte. Marisol is an author from Ciego de Ávila, Cuba. She is a history, literature and Spanish teacher at the basic secondary school and high school institutes. She is also a social and cultural researcher.

Marisol said this about her book: “En el Umbral del Shaddai is a book that reflects in its poems the deep tears and infinite stumbling blocks of human beings. In the three chapters that make it up, its author cries out to God in an untiring prayer for forgiveness for all those who come to him repentant from the heart. It is a song of reflection showing the light of the Gospel through the biblical quotes that appear in her poems. In reading these verses, we can find a message of salvation through the only possible way or path.

This book is a call to those who are tired of a long pilgrimage without answers to any of their questions and those who are desperately looking for a way out. This work is an invitation to cross the threshold of that door that is love to reach the eternal arms of the Father, El Shaddai (Almighty). In its pages where rhyme and prayer intertwine, it confirms only Christ is the answer. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Christ is that door.”

Published by Page Publishing, Marisol de la Caridad García De Corte’s new book En el Umbral del Shaddai will envelop the readers with heartwarming wisdom on the empowering compassion of God that brings salvation and life to those steadfastly seek and remain in him.
