• Oskaloosa Man Charged with Sex Abuse of a Minor in Marion County – KBOE 104.9FM Hot Country (kboeradio.com) — An Oskaloosa man faces two felony sexual-abuse charges after Knoxville police investigated allegations involving a 15-year-old. Court documents allege Jayden Kennedy, 21, had sexual contact with the minor in Knoxville between April and July. Arrested November 2, he also faces a misdemeanor charge involving explicit material. 
• The story of how Larson won his third title depends on who you ask (racer.com) — Kyle Larson's Knoxville Nationals win helped restore his NASCAR team's confidence, crew chief Cliff Daniels says, offering a local connection to Larson's third Cup Series championship. Larson sees the turnaround differently: while grateful rain delays let him race at Knoxville, he credits a later performance at Darlington with rebuilding his confidence.
