• Nissan Going From Zero To Hybrid Hero, And America Is The Big Winner (carbuzz.com) — Nissan plans to start building its Rogue hybrid in Smyrna in early 2028, a move that could add another shift and push the local plant to full capacity. With the facility currently running below its 600,000-vehicle limit, this hybrid expansion could mean more jobs and long-term investment in Smyrna's manufacturing economy as Nissan rapidly scales up its hybrid lineup.
   

• Sonny Gray, Red Sox pitcher vs Yankees in MLB Wild Card, Vanderbilt baseball star (tennessean.com subscription) — MLB pitcher Sonny Gray, now with the Boston Red Sox, once starred on the mound for Smyrna High School before becoming a standout at Vanderbilt and in the majors.
