NASCAR rising stars Noah Gragson and Harrison Burton are locked in a ferocious rivalry on the track that exploded in an embarrassing, rock ’em, sock ’em brawl racing insiders fear could lead to a fatal crash. The slugfest followed an ontrack clash when Gragson, 21, rammed his car into the back of 19-year-old Burton’s at the end of a 200-mile NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Kentucky Speedway July 10. The bump cost Burton a Top Five finish. The prickly pair leaped from their cars at the end of the race and after Burton pushed him twice, Gragson threw a punch. They ended up on the ground wrestling and socking. A source says NASCAR bigwigs privately reprimanded the young bucks, but veteran drivers are ticked off “because they’re not only putting…

Phillip Blanks, 28, ran to the scene of the fire barefoot when he heard frantic cries for help.

I’ve learned how to catch a…

NATALIE Wood’s daughter reveals her mother’s tragic death scarred her emotionally — prompting her to seek love with “maternal men” who would take care of her. “I think, in adult life, I was always looking for a mother,” confesses Natasha Gregson Wagner, who was 11 when her mother died under mysterious circumstances in 1981 while yachting off California’s Catalina Island after a furious fight with her hubby, Robert Wagner. “Often I would choose very maternal men, who would mother me, but it would get confusing because after a certain amount of time, I would want to grow up, so to speak, within the relationship.” When they realized that, “it would cause a lot of trouble,” the 49-year-old actress admits. Natasha has an eight-year-old daughter, Clover, with her husband, former 7th…

A CROOKED West Virginia cop has been sentenced to nearly six years in a federal pen for distributing heroin. Former Harrison County sheriff’s deputy Timothy Rock, 42, was found guilty in November of distributing heroin to confidential informants in 2016. According to trial testimony, Rock acquired the heroin from evidence lockers at a now-defunct street crimes and drug unit at the sheriff’s office. He also allowed informants to keep drugs bought while being monitored by law enforcement. Rock also violated rules about managing informants, tracking government funds, securing evidence and ensuring officer safety, evidence showed. His federal sentence was handed down July 8 and will run concurrently to a two-to-15-year sentence imposed in state court last year for falsifying records to hide his efforts.…

NBC soap Days of Our Lives cleaned up in the ratings — the show snagged the No. 1 spot as the top daytime drama for the first time since 1973! The last time the series ruled the roost, Richard Nixon was president and 16 soaps were on air! But to steal the crown during the week of June 29 to July 3, DOOL had to beat out only three other shows: The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful and General Hospital.

A STEM cell discovery promises to banish baldness without the side effects of current remedies that lower sex drive and men’s ability to have erections. Researchers say a solution from stem cells removed from fat tissue triggers the growth of hair follicles in men and women suffering alopecia pattern baldness, which strikes half of both sexes after age 50. The discovery has excited hope for a cure from experts like Anthony Atala, director of North Carolina’s Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine. “The topical solution created from proteins secreted by stem cells found in fat tissue proves to be both safe and effective,” says Atala, who published the findings in the STEM CELLS Translational Medicine journal. In the study, scientists divided 38 baldies into two groups, giving the ADSC-CE stem…
