Ryan Preece Finishes Fourth but Loses Ground to Playoff Cutline

Yesterday's Brickyard 400 was a mixed blessing for Ryan Preece as his fourth-place finish was his best since Las Vegas 17 races ago and his 12 laps led were his most since Phoenix the race before, but because Bubba Wallace, the driver he was chasing for the final playoff transfer spot, won the race Preece's […]

Brad Keselowski Has Good Strategy, but Not Enough to Win

In a Brickyard 400 that was pretty much just a strategy roulette, Brad Keselowski attempted to make up for his painful near miss last year and almost succeeded as the No. 6 team's typical decision to stay out later than other drivers on the race's final green-flag pit sequence reaped great dividends when the race […]

Ryan Blaney Bails from Hail Mary Strategy Attempt but Recovers to Finish Seventh

In a race where none of the Team Penske drivers qualified particularly well, Penske tried some wild strategies to gain track position as Austin Cindric, Joey Logano, and Josh Berry stayed out of the pits during the Brickyard 400's first caution yesterday although Ryan Blaney did not.

Although […]

Emmanuel Clase Drawing Trade Interest, Guardians Unlikely to Deal

Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase is reportedly drawing heavy interest ahead of the trade deadline, but a move appears unlikely.

Evan McPherson on a Roll in Camp

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson converted all six of his field-goal attempts on Sunday to continue a spotless training camp.
