SPORTS.YAHOO.COMJoey Logano Dominates North Wilkesboro to Snap His Winless StreakJoey Logano Dominates North Wilkesboro to Snap His Winless StreakLogano Turned North Wilkesboro Into a One-Car Show and Flipped His Playoff FateEvery so often a three-time champion spends a night reminding everyone exactly why he has that hardware at home, and Joey Logano picked a 30-year-old itch to scratch.Logano led 323 laps of Sunday night's Window World 450 at North Wilkesboro Speedway, then beat Denny Hamlin to the stripe by 0.859 seconds a margin that badly undersells how completely he owned the place. It was the 38th win of his Cup career and the first points-paying Cup race run at the old 0.625-mile bullring in three decades. It also snapped a drought that had stretched back to Texas in May 2025, an eternity for a guy who usually bullies his way into Victory Lane at least once a season.Related ArticlesWatch: A Florida Motorcyclist Fled An FHP Trooper Twice His Bike Ended The Chase By Catching FireFormula Es Citron Racing Team Principal Cyril Blais Has DiedThe number worth staring at is that lap count. On a flat, single-groove short track like North Wilkesboro, track position is currency and clean air is king. Get out front with the right balance and the field behind you is stuck breathing exhaust and clawing at the same greasy asphalt everyone else is fighting. Logano and crew chief Paul Wolfe clearly unloaded a car that rotated the way he wanted, and on a track this tight that edge compounds lap after lap. Leading nearly three-quarters of a race isn't luck it's a setup that let him dictate every restart and every long run.He didn't get to coast, though. Hamlin's No. 11 hung within range through the final stage, and the whole thing pivoted on a green-flag pit cycle. Hamlin blinked first, ducking onto pit road on Lap 359; Logano ran one extra lap, cycled through, and came out roughly a half-second ahead. On a track where passing is a knife fight, that half-second was the ballgame especially once the final stage reeled off 175 caution-free laps, denying Hamlin any restart to bunch the field or any lucky yellow to reset the gap.Here's the part that makes this more than a feel-good trophy: the playoff math. Logano rolled in sitting 17th, on the wrong side of the Chase cutline, and left 15th and 49 points clear with five races before the postseason field locks. In a format that hands a single win a near-automatic ticket, a night like this doesn't just add a win light it drags an entire team back from the brink of watching the playoffs from the couch.Related ArticlesGeorgia Driver Charged With Aggravated Assault After Pointing What Looked Like A Gun At A MotorcyclistRace Weekend Recap: Logano Ends His Drought, Antonelli Rules Spa, and Pajari Stuns in EstoniaThere's history soaked into the venue, too. North Wilkesboro fell off the schedule in the mid-'90s and sat essentially frozen until NASCAR revived it for exhibition duty. Logano already won the 2024 All-Star Race here, so the short track and the No. 22 were on speaking terms. Sunday just made it official in the record book that actually counts.And for anyone who's tracked Logano's career, the timing carries a little poetry. This is a driver still nursing a grudge over 2015, when a Martinsville payback wreck blew up what looked like a title run. He's built a reputation as a streaky, clutch, occasionally polarizing racer who shows up when the stakes climb. A dominant night at a throwback track, capped with what he called "big, smoky doughnuts," is about as on-brand as it gets.Post-race inspection cleared the car with no issues, so the result stands.0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 47 Views 0 Vista previa

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMKevin Harvick Reflects On Remarkable NASCAR Hall Of Fame CareerKevin Harvick gets a kiss from wife DeLana after winning the NASCAR Brickyard 400 on August 3, 2003 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Indiana. (Photo by Robert Laberge/Getty Images)Getty ImagesWhen Kevin Harvick was a young racer in Bakersfield, California, he dreamed of racing in the Indianapolis 500 and following the path of Bakersfields own Rick Mears, a four-time Indy 500 winner. Harvick realized part of his dream by winning at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but it was in NASCARs Brickyard 400 instead of the Indianapolis 500. Harvick would go on to become an IMS legend with three Brickyard 400 wins including 2003, 2019 and 2020.Harvick, who on May 19th was named to the latest class in the NASCAR Hall Of Fame and will be inducted next January, believes his first Brickyard 400 win on August 3, 2003, served as the launching pad to his Hall of Fame career.How Harvicks Brickyard 400 Win Solidified The Foundation Of A Great CareerHarvick had already won three NASCAR Cup Series races in his career when he arrived at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the 2003 Brickyard 400. Crew chief Todd Berrier had prepared a fast No. 29 GM Goodwrench Chevrolet at Richard Childress Racing and Harvick put it on the pole at Indianapolis. The following day, Harvick led 33 laps in the 160-lap Brickyard 400, including the final 16 laps to claim the first Crown Jewel victory in his NASCAR career.NASCARs Crown Jewels include the Daytona 500, the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the Brickyard 400 and the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway.Harvicks previous victories before the big win at IMS in 2003 came with his first win in only his third NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta on March 11, 2001. That was an emotional accomplishment because Harvick was thrust into that seat after the great Dale Earnhart was killed in a crash in the last turn of the last lap of the Daytona 500 on February 18, 2001.He also won at Chicagoland Speedway on July 15, 2001, to score two wins during his rookie season.Kevin Harvick celebrates his first NASCAR Cup win following the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway in 2001. (Photo by ISC Archives/CQ-Roll Call Group via Getty Images)ISC Archives/CQ-Roll Call Group via Getty ImagesHarvicks second season in 2002 was far more difficult. He had expectations of contending for the championship but instead finished 21st. He did win at Chicagoland Speedway for a second-straight year with a victory on July 14, 2002, but that was a rare highlight in an otherwise disappointing season.In 2003, Harvick needed a tentpole win in a major NASCAR race to put him back on the winning track. It came at the most famous racing facility in the world.Earlier this year, I had an exclusive interview with Harvick, who plays a major role at FOX Sports as the NASCAR Cup Series telecasts and is the host of two podcasts on FOX including Kevin Harvicks Happy Hour and SPEED With Harvick and Buxton.I think that the Brickyard was really the first one, the first really big win, that got us on the right track, Harvick told me. We really didnt get to be a consistent winner in the Cup car until 2006 and thats when I learned sometimes it just takes time. There are so many different things that happen off the racetrack, the politics of it all, how to interact with your team and develop the car. All those things just take time because it's at such a different level than you ever get to before that.Kevin Harvick Was Already On The Rise At Richard Childress RacingHarvick was a star on the rise in what was then the NASCAR Busch Series (now the OReilly Auto Parts Series) and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series when team owner Richard Childress gave him the testing duties for Earnhardts No. 3 Chevrolet.I knew that group and going in it was a lot easier just to go to racetrack test, get out of the car and do that six or seven times a year, Harvick recalled. It was a lot different than being in the car every single week. It was like being married, right? When you are around somebody every day, you really understand who they are and how they operate and the things that they like and dont like. There is a process that goes with it. I think in 2003 we were we won the Brickyard and were competitive. Its just it's so hard to get that all those things right to be able to win three to five races a year.The Pace car leads the pack before the start of the NASCAR Winston Cup Brickyard 400 on August 3, 2003 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, in Indianapolis, Indiana. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)Getty ImagesIn 2003, The Brickyard 400 Packed Them Into The Indianapolis Motor SpeedwayHarvicks win at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2003 came when the Brickyard 400 was still near its peak in popularity. The grandstands were packed with over 300,000 fans who would brave the very hot and humid Indiana weather in August.The crowds at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway were double and triple the size of NASCARs other big races.Plus, the Brickyard 400 was creating its own history at a time when the Indianapolis 500 was in the middle of a split between the Indy Racing League and CART.At that particular time, it was treated like the Indy 500, and they would almost purposely not put enough seats in there to make it bigger than the Indy 500 at that time, Harvick recalled. One of the moments I remember the most is the pace car ride after the race with Richard Childress and DeLana (Harvicks wife) riding around the racetrack afterwards, because thats what they do at Indy.It was a moment of clarity and reflection for Harvick because he remembered seeing the greatest names in racing take that same winners ride in the pace car after winning the Indianapolis 500 including Rick Mears after each of his four Indy 500 wins. Rick Mears waves to the crowd after winning his fourth Indianapolis 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on May 26, 1991 in Indianapolis, Indiana. At 39, Rick Mears became the youngest driver with four Indy 500 victories. (Photo by Focus on Sport via Getty Images)Focus on Sport via Getty ImagesTo really take that all in was important, because I didnt really want to race NASCAR because I didn't know anything about it, Harvick admitted. Everything that I had been around in my hometown was all about the Mears Family. So, if you wanted to race, you wanted to race Indy car and race in the Indy 500. That was as close as you can come to living out your childhood dream, to go to the Brickyard. Everything that you had talked about to that point was wanting to race in the Indy 500. To go there and win at the Brickyard was pretty high up on my list.Kevin Harvicks Incredible Journey To The NASCAR Hall Of FameFrom riding around the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway after winning the 2003 Brickyard 400, Harvicks path would take him to the NASCAR Hall of Fame with some incredible accomplishments.In a career that ended in 2023, Harvick won 60 NASCAR Cup Series races, including the 2007 Daytona 500, three wins in the Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2003, 2019, and 2020, and the 2014 NASCAR Cup Series Championship. Factor in Harvicks time in NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series races, he won a total of 121 NASCAR National Series races, including 47 in O'Reilly Auto Parts Series races and 14 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Harvick's last race was the final race of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season at Phoenix Raceway. Kevin Harvick (center) flanked by Mike Joy (left) and Clint Bowyer (right) the three men in the FOX Sports booth for NASCAR on FOX telecasts.FOX Sports PhotoSince then, Harvick has joined Mike Joy and former driver and teammate Clint Bowyer in the FOX Sports booth, calling the action in the NASCAR Cup Series telecasts that air on FOX. Harvicks incredible career has earned him selection to the NASCAR Hall of Fame on May 19.In addition, Harvick has become active in the podcast world with two highly acclaimed podcasts for FOX Sports, including Kevin Harvick's Happy Hour, presented by NASCAR on Fox, and SPEED with Harvick and Buxton. The second podcast includes IndyCar on FOX lead announcer Will Buxton. How Kevin Harvick Rediscovered The Joy Of RacingHarvick is also a devoted father, along with his wife DeLana, to their two children, including 14-year-old son Keelan Harvick and 8-year-old daughter Piper. On February 23, 2026, Keelan Harvick signed a long-term deal with Toyota Racing Development to help him learn the skills to one day become a NASCAR Cup Series driver.Keelan Harvick waves to the fans during driver introductions prior to the running of the zMax Cars Tour PLM Spears Manufacturing 75 on July 17, 2026 at North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Wilkesboro, NC. (Photo by Jeff Robinson/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images)Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesThe COVID season (2020) is what started the whole racing thing with Keelan, Harvick explained. He was playing baseball and soccer and basketball or whatever sport was happening at the school. For so long, we didnt really want to get into racing with Keelan, he needed to go do something else. You get burned out on the things that you've done your whole life because it's taken up so much time. And then, Keelan decided to race during COVID. And really, we havent stopped racing since.With Keelan following in his fathers path, Kevin Harvick rediscovered the joy of racing, something that had skipped him by because of the relentless schedule, and often brutal demands that come with racing at NASCARs highest levels for more than 25 straight years.Since he started racing, it reminded you of why you like racing and that's the people, the places you get to go, Harvick said. Karting was a lot of fun for me because that's how I started as a kid and he traveled all over the world doing it. But you remember when you see the parents and the kids and going to these different places and you remember why you love the sport. Kevin Harvick (left) and his son, Keelan after the NASCAR Cup Series Championship at Phoenix Raceway on November 05, 2023 in Avondale, Arizona. (Photo by James Gilbert/Getty Images)Getty ImagesThat really helped me get through the end of my career just because of the fact that you were reminded of why you were there on Sunday. It became a job, but it wasnt a job when you started. You chased that path because you liked what you did. I think a lot of times, you need a reminder of why you like doing what you do. And in our sport, at the highest levels, it can become a job. I think that Keelan racing really helped get me through those last three years. It probably kept me driving longer because of the fact that he was into it."Harvick is able to share that joy of racing through a depth of knowledge when he is in the FOX booth during a NASCAR telecast, or on his weekly FOX shows and podcasts including Kevin Harvicks Happy Hour and SPEED With Harvick And Buxton.Kevin Harvick (left) and Will Buxton (right) on the set of SPEED With Harvick And Buxton.FOX Sports PhotoIt gives people something positive to think about, the influence that all those moments had on the sport, Harvick told me. You realize it a lot better now sitting here at 50, 25 years later than you did at 25. I didnt know that you dont realize those things until you get a little bit down the road.This weekend, NASCAR returns to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Brickyard 400. On Sunday, a NASCAR Cup Series driver will experience the feeling that Harvick first enjoyed 23 years ago when he won the first of his three Brickyard 400s. Just as it did for Harvick in 2003, it could create the foundation of a NASCAR Hall of Fame career.Kevin Harvick, Richard Childress and the crew celebrate after winning the NASCAR Winston Cup Brickyard 400 on August 3, 2003 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Indiana.

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMLatest encouraging update on Giants star rehabbing serious injuryUPDATE: The Giants indeed did not place Malik Nabers (or Cam Skattebo) on the physically unable to perform list Thursday, in advance of training camp starting Tuesday. The Giants did put these players on the PUP list: tight end Thomas Fidone, defensive lineman Sam Roberts and defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris. Those are their only PUP list guys. ***It sure looks like Giants star wide receiver Malik Nabers has a legit shot at being ready for Week 1. And ultimately, thats the goal, as the Giants prepare to report to training camp Tuesday in West Virginia, with their first practice coming a day later. The more important date for Nabers, as he recovers from a torn ACL Sept. 13. Thats when the Giants open coach John Harbaughs first season with a massive Sunday night home game against Dallas. In the meantime, the Giants are not expected to place Nabers on the physically unable to perform list to begin camp, according to ESPN. Thats a good sign for Nabers, though he still has to show he can fully participate in practice before he gets on the game field. Nabers didnt practice at all in the spring. He underwent a second right knee surgery this offseason to clean up scar tissue something that could delay his rehab. Theres also this: Nabers didnt just get his ACL fixed last season after he tore it. He also underwent a full meniscus repair. That, too, can prolong a players rehab. Nabers got hurt in quarterback Jaxson Darts first start Week 4 against the Chargers, on Sept. 28. He had surgery exactly one month later. Will Nabers actually be ready for Week 1 this year? That remains unclear. And even if he does play, how effective/explosive will he be? Thats another major question facing the Giants and Harbaugh, who desperately need Nabers to provide the playmaking foundation for their offense. The Giants are +100 to win over 7.5 regular season games on FanDuel. Our complete FanDuel Sportsbook review will show you how to sign up and use their app. Also, make sure to view our Giants win total prediction, along with other Giants futures bets, for a full expert breakdown.If the Giants had placed Nabers on the PUP list to start camp, they wouldve been able to free up his roster spot for as long as he remained on that list. But clearly, they expect Nabers to get substantial practice action at some point during camp, with the focus on Week 1.

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMAljamain Sterling: McGregor should have returned vs. Chandler, not HollowayAljamain Sterling doesn't think Conor McGregor should face Max Holloway in a trilogy bout after UFC 329.McGregor's comeback was spoiled by Holloway when he injured his knee from the first kick he threw at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. McGregor (22-7 MMA, 10-5 UFC) ended up tearing his right ACL and meniscus in a TKO loss."The Notorious" was initially scheduled to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June 2024, but a broken pinky toe delayed his return. Sterling says that's the fight that should be rebooked once McGregor heals from surgery."Not at the top level," Sterling said of McGregor in an interview with Ignition Poker. "I think you have to give him a matchup that's going to give him his confidence back, let him see where he's at and where he can compete. He doesn't need to do anything crazy, just skill for skill. He doesn't need jumping moves or spinning back kicks. Just come in, see where your hands are, see how it feels to move and pivot, see if you've got that same bounce and see if you can compete with those guys. If you can't, that's going to be the real gauge. But you also don't want to take the risk of losing to a relatively unknown name and then losing a potential big fight that you could have had."At the same time, do you want to have the big fight and then get really, really hurt? It depends on him. The way I would do it is to come back in a matchup that makes sense. I don't want to call it a tune-up fight because all these guys are tough, but get a matchup that makes sense. I always said he should have come back and fought Chandler. That would have made more sense. Stylistically, it's good. Chandler isn't going to wrestle him. He's going to stand with him and want to make it entertaining. Then you have an opportunity to see if Conor is good enough to beat a guy like Chandler, who is good, but he's not at the top of the heap anymore at 155 or even 170, because I think Chandler said he wants to move up."McGregor, who had competed for the first time in five years, insists he is not done. Sterling sees a plethora of options for his next fight."The possibilities for McGregor are endless," Sterling said. "He may not be 'Mystic Mac' anymore, but he's still Conor McGregor. People are going to tune in because they want to watch him and see what he's doing next. He's always going to have that aura and enigma about him. But the prospect who came in starching everybody and calling his shots, those days are probably done. If he can have one good fight, he can maybe turn back the clock a little bit, but it depends on how he looks in the performance. There's Nate Diaz, there's Jorge Masvidal, and there are so many good matchups. He could even fight Jake Paul. There are fun fights for him on the horizon."It just depends on whether the UFC gives him that fight sooner rather than later. Now, with this injury, he's probably going to have to undergo surgery. That's at least six months. I've seen guys come back in six months, so that's the minimum before he could come back and have confidence in it again. I don't know what that looks like, but he's going to need to do a lot to strengthen those ligaments on both knees because I believe it was the other one that popped this time, if I'm correct. He needs to make sure he balances that out and does everything he needs to get back into somewhat prime form for competition, not just training. It's one thing to fight and another thing to just be training."This article originally appeared on MMA Junkie: Aljamain Sterling: McGregor should have returned vs. Chandler, not Holloway0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 44 Views 0 Vista previa

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMJacoby Brissett practices on first day of Cardinals training campArizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett was present for the first official day of team training camp on Thursday, July 23. That part was expected after Brissett arrived the day before when players were required to report to camp.Taking part in the first camp practice at State Farm Stadium, however, was not a given. But Brissett was on the field for a pre-practice walk-through, and did some early work in practice after that despite not having been signed to the new contract he seeks.Jacoby Brissett (7) is indeed practicing today with the Cardinals. So far. pic.twitter.com/moTQolYCB0 Jos M. Romero (@RomeroJoseM) July 23, 2026Brissett is under contract for the 2026 season but seeks a salary more reflective of an NFL starting quarterback, which he was for 12 of 14 games played last season for the Cardinals.Brissett reported to the team's mandatory minicamp last in June but did not participate in any voluntary team workouts in the offseason."I describe it as Practice 1 on July 23rd," Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said, earlier saying that contract negotiations have been productive but are still ongoing.Brissett being on the field he threw passes to receivers and did drills with the Cardinals' other quarterbacks seemed to indicate that an agreement on a deal could be closer to getting done."He's here, he's under contract, and it's the first day of practice," LaFleur said. "Didn't have him through OTAs or minicamp or anything like that, so right now, just getting him up to speed with our operation, with our cadence, with our formations, our no-huddle package, our pass game, our run game, that kind of stuff. So, not really worried about any of that stuff right now."Cardinals veteran defensive back Budda Baker took to social media to urge the Cardinals to get a deal done with Brissett earlier in July."At the end of the day, I want all of our players to get theirs and ultimately all of our players to be in the building and being able to practice, being able to get better," Baker said. "Because you only get better by practicing. So I didn't know that Jacoby was practicing today, but that's a great thing."Baker hoped Brissett would work with the No. 1 offense, so he could get a shot at an interception, he said with a smile.Adams takes part in practice after gun chargesCardinals offensive lineman Isaiah Adams took part in practice after facing weapons-related charges in Canada earlier in the week.Adams, a possible starter at guard, wasn't made available to reporters to comment, but his attorney told The Arizona Republic that Adams "is completely innocent in this matter.""He's doing good," LaFleur said of Adams. "It was good to see him."Four Cardinals on PUP list to open campThe Cardinals opened training camp with four players on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. They are linebacker Josh Sweat, offensive lineman Paris Johnson Jr., cornerback Garrett Williams and tight end Tip Reiman. LaFleur said there isn't anything to be concerned about with Johnson, the Cardinals' left tackle. He called it "maintenance stuff" for Johnson and said he will be back "before you know it."Sweat is "in a good spot." LaFleur said, and is expected to practice in camp at some point. Baker said Sweat is dealing with previous injuries he's had and is "getting his body right so he can come out and practice."Johnson and Sweat are dealing with knee injuries at present, LaFleur said.

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMWhat does the Raiders' signing Mendoza mean for Ty Simpson?The Las Vegas Raiders have finally signed No. 1 draft pick Fernando Mendoza. According to ESPN, Mendoza signed a four-year, $57.27 million fully guaranteed deal with a fifth-year option. The Raiders' entire 10-player 2026 draft class is now under contract as they report for training camp Thursday.Mendoza was the first player the Raiders drafted first overall since 2007, when they drafted JaMarcus Russell out of LSU. Right now, according to the same report, Mendoza has been working with the third-team offense so far this off-season, which could mean something or nothing. So now that the Raiders have signed Mendoza, what does it mean for the Los Angeles Rams and their No. 1 draft pick, Ty Simpson?Now that Mendoza has signed, Simpson shouldn't be that far behind. Simpson was the second quarterback taken off the board in this year's draft, to the shock of many who thought that he would drop in the first round, as far as some thought to the second round.But Simpson had already been told by the Rams that if he was still there, they'd draft him, which they did. Simpson, in all likelihood, wanted to see what the Raiders were willing to pay Mendoza before he signed. So, don't be surprised if the Rams announce in the next day or two that they also signed their No. 1 draft pick to a similar contract.This article originally appeared on Touchdown Wire: What does the Raiders' signing Mendoza mean for Ty Simpson?0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 44 Views 0 Vista previa
