Kyle Buschs iconic No. 18 will be on the track at the 2026 INDY 500. Romain Grosjean will be driving his usual No. 18 car in the INDY 500, but it will have a different look. The No. 18 font will be that which Busch used for 15 years in NASCAR. The idea came from FOX Sports commentator Townsend Bell. From there, Joe Gibbs Racing helped finish the job to make it happen. Busch, a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and 63-time winner, passed away suddenly on Thursday. His loss was felt in Charlotte, where the Coca-Cola 600 will take place on Sunday, as well as in Indianapolis, where drivers paid tribute to the extremely competitive Busch. "He was an extreme racer, one of the best you'd ever see on track, and I'm just speaking about his skill set," two-time INDY 500 winner Josef Newgarden told reporters on Friday. "I'm sure that the toughest part about it is just what he leaves behind with his kids and what they have to go through. Seven-time NASCAR Cup champion Jimmie Johnson was in Indianapolis in the week leading up to the race and paid tribute to Busch, as well. "The bravery, just natural skill, and then being able to tie that all back to the engineering process and communicating what he's feeling, and expanding on that, and understanding cars, and the build [of the cars]," Johnson told our Bob Pockrass and another reporter. "Technically, in [knowing] the build of a car, he's one of the best. He had that old school know-how and understanding, but could relate to the engineers which is very special on its own. "And then he had all this bravery and skill to match it up."

All good things must come to an end. It had been 2 years and 2 days since Nebraska had last lost in Charles Schwab Field, and it continues that no team has ever won 3 Big Ten Tournaments in a row.The usually potent Husker offense couldnt come up with anything against one of their biggest nemesis of the season, Oregon starter Will Sanford had confounded Nebraska in Eugene and his rising fastball did the same tonight.Oregon got things started quickly. Leadoff batter Ryan Cooney drove the second pitch of the game to the left-center gap. All Big Ten Defensive Team outfielder Mac Moyer read it perfectly and made a dive at the last minute but could just barely touch it with his glove. Cooney cruised into second for a double. Back to back groundouts behind him brought him in to score. Husker starting pitcher Gavin Blachowicz struck out the final batter to limit the damage to 1 run.The Duck loaded the bases with one out in the 3rd on Blachowicz, with a couple of singles followed by a full count walk to All Big Ten 3B Drew Smith. Blachowicz got to an 0-2 count on the batter who slapped a ball right at a shifted Rhett Stokes playing up the middle. He stepped on 2nd and fired a strike to first base for a massive double play. The crowd roared to life trying to get some momentum on their side.This was a giant double play : @BigTenNetworkpic.twitter.com/9opNdUTQa2 Big Ten Baseball (@B1Gbaseball) May 24, 2026Will Sanford took the mound for Oregon. He struck out 12 Huskers in 6 innings the first time they faced each other and got off to a similar start in Omaha. Two strikeouts each of the first 4 innings, and 10 retired in a row.Oregon added one in the 4th, a solo shot from Maddox Maloney. That doubled their lead to 2-0. Maloney is 3rd in career home runs at Oregon and was All Big Ten a season ago, but had been struggling to find consistency this year.Nebraska finally reached base on Sanford in the 4th. Sanford lost control of his fastball for a time, walking Jeter Worthley and Dylan Carey with 1 out. Case Sanderson, who carried the team last night, just got under one for a fly out to deep center. Then Sanford bounced back with a strikeout on Drew Grego, and grabbed all the momentum back in the Oregon dugout.Blachowicz had been having a great night, battling the potent Oregon offense. He looked to be controlling the 5th, getting to 2 outs quickly, but a solo shot that barely cleared the right field wall put Oregon up 3-0. Blachowicz exited after the 5th, striking out 9, and allowing 3 runs on 6 hits, with only 1 walk. More than enough to keep Nebraska in the game.The Huskers looked to have something working in the 6th. Jeter Worthley snuck one past the first baseman into no mans land and wound up on 2nd for a double. Then Dylan Carey smashed a ball 103 mph off the bat, but right at the Duck short stop who was shifted way towards third base. He caught the line drive and tossed the ball to the second baseman who with the shift was only a couple steps from the base, doubling off Worthley. Another strikeout looking on Sanderson ended the threat.Oregon opened it up in the 7th. It looked like Nebraska might get out of the inning with no harm done, after a Cooper Katskee strikeout to lead off the inning. He hit a batter, but then induced a ground ball up the middle. Carey tossed to Stokes at second who bounced a ball to first that Sanderson couldnt come up with. A walk was followed by a 2 run triple to the deepest part of the park. Katskee then threw a belt high fastball right over the middle of the plate, and that ball ended up in the Husker bullpen. 7-0 Oregon.Oregon added another run in the 9th to bring us to the final score of 8-0.For an offense that doesnt strike out a lot, gets lead off batters on at a high rate, and is one of the best at batting with runners on, none of the Huskers weapons were working tonight. Nebraska struck out 12 times, got 2 of 9 leadoff runners on, and hit 1-9 with runners on base, hitting into 2 double plays. None of those are a recipe for success.
