Hour 2 -

Good Wednesday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour:

• NASCAR Commissioner Steve Phelps announced his resignation after more than 20 years with the racing series and a nasty federal trial in which inflammatory texts he sent during contentious revenue-sharing negotiations were revealed... In one exchange, Phelps called Hall of Fame team owner Richard Childress “a stupid redneck” who “needs to be taken out back and flogged.” That led Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris, an ardent supporter of both NASCAR and Richard Childress Racing, to write a letter demanding Phelps’ removal as commissioner.
• Rep. Jim Jordan weighed in on running Venezuela and the America First policy.
• Iranian protesters issued a direct appeal for help from President Trump on Tuesday as unrest continued to spiral across the nation.
• The head of Iran's military threatened preemptive action over "rhetoric" targeting the country as the regime faces massive protests. 
• U.S. forces are attempting to board the Russian-flagged Marinera oil tanker in the North Atlantic Sea.
• The bridge on Sunshine is scheduled to open this Friday.
