Romain Grosjean’s engineered miracle

Car Racing(Nascar,Monster truck, Indianapolis 500,Drag racing, horse racing )

If you watch enough sports you’ll see some horrific injuries. I’ve seen David Busst’s leg explode, watched Erik Karlsson’s Achilles tendon severed by a skate blade and winced at dozens of ACL tears. Professional sports are played with such speed and violence that they also serve as terrible reminders of the sheer fragility of the human body. Bodies, even the most thoroughly trained, are wrecked easily.

Although I doubt anyone who isn’t a medical professional ever gets used to watching injuries, you can get used to that notion of fragility. It is really easy for people to get hurt doing nothing, let alone pushing the edges of human performance...

“This was definitely not how this was supposed to go down.”

The greatest American racer of his generation is on the phone. Jimmie Johnson is driving home from the racetrack and he is 100 percent correct. This is not how this was supposed to go down. Not this week. Not this year. Hell, not even the past 19 years. None of it. And yet here he is...

Chase Elliott won his first NASCAR Cup Series championship by winning the final race of the season at Phoenix. The 24-year-old becomes the third youngest driver to win the title behind Jeff Gordon and Bill Rexford.

Elliott took the lead from Joey Logano with 42 laps to go rather handily and drove on to take the checkered flag in his first Championship 4 appearance. The No. 9 started the race from the rear after failing pre-race inspection twice but had no problem finding the speed to lead a race-high 153 laps.

This was the...

After avoiding disaster in the final stage with a mistake on pit road, Chase Elliott passed Martin Truex Jr with 40 laps to go and never looked back as he secured his spot in the Championship 4 after a dominate performance.

Harvick had a tire go down early in the race causing him to make a green flag pit stop and lose two laps putting him in catch-up mode on the half-mile Martinsville track.

“For sure with the way we’ve run here in the past,” Harvick said, acknowledging he and his No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford team expected the Martinsville race to be a challenge.

“Everybody kept battling there and I tried to run into the door of the 18 as a last-ditch effort there and spun him out there so sorry to put him in ...

Preakness Stakes live updates, results, highlights from 2020 Triple Crown race

horse racing

The Preakness Stakes is normally the second Triple Crown race and held in May, but nothing is normal in 2020. Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Preakness will take place on Saturday, Oct. 3 and will be the last of the three Triple Crown races.

With Belmont Stakes winner Tiz The Law skipping this year’s Preakness, Kentucky Derby winner Authentic will be the heavy favorite to claim victory at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.

One of the favorites to challenge Authentic is Art Collector, coming in at 5-2 odds; Swiss Skydiver and Thousand Words both come in behind him at 6-1 odds, but for those looking for a big pay day might want to turn their attention to Mr. Big News (12-1), who shocked a lot of bettors by hitting the board in the Kentucky Derby despite 46-1 odds.
