'Wrestling A Bear': Differences between INDYCAR, NASCAR, and Formula 1 cars
The differences between a NASCAR Cup Series car and an INDYCAR car are pretty obvious. The stock car looks a little bit like the car folks can drive on the street. Its wheels don’t stick out beyond the fenders. The open-wheel car — with wheels that do stick out — looks much different and has a higher-pitched sound, thanks to its turbocharged engine versus a NASCAR engine that is normally aspirated. A stock car, when set up correctly, is one that often feels as if it is supposed to wiggle on a driver and potentially wreck. The best drivers get it to that brink. The open-wheel car is run on the brink but maybe not to the point where the driver is uncomfortable as it would be in the stock car. Because once these cars snap around, there isn’t much saving them. Now the difference between an INDYCAR and a Formula 1 car? That’s a little more nuanced.
2025 NASCAR odds: Shane van Gisbergen favorite to win at COTA in Austin
In 2024, William Byron got into victory lane at Daytona and then, a few weeks later, he did it again at the Circuit of the Americas. Should fans bet on Byron to replicate last year's early-season NASCAR Cup Series success again in 2025? Well, according to the odds, another driver has the best chance at winning this weekend's road course in Austin.
Would Pope Francis resign? Experts say it’s unlikely – but the pontiff often springs surprises
When Benedict XVI became the first pope to resign in 600 years it sent shockwaves through the Catholic Church. Now, after spending two weeks in hospital battling pneumonia, the speculation in the Vatican is whether his successor Pope Francis might do the same. “I think the only circumstances under which he (Francis) would consider resignation, as he has said, would be if he had a long-term degenerative or debilitating condition which prevented him from fully carrying out the papal ministry,” Austen Ivereigh, a papal biographer, told.
Trump wants to protect South Africa’s White farmers. But potential changes to trade privileges would hurt them
A contentious law that allows South Africa’s government to expropriate land – without compensation in some cases – has enraged the United States, triggering aid cuts by Washington and outbursts from President Donald Trump. Many fear that the African nation could now potentially lose some of its US trade privileges as relations between the two countries deteriorate. South Africa is the largest beneficiary of the African Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA), a US trade agreement that provides preferential duty-free access to US markets for eligible Sub-Saharan African nations.
Best red carpet looks at the 2025 Oscars
The 97th Academy Awards delivered an evening of elegant and, at times, dramatic fashion, with many stars saving their best looks for the biggest red carpet of them all. This year’s awards season has witnessed its fair share of restrained styling and dark monochromatic looks, but Hollywood’s A-list brought shimmer, sparkle and metallics to LA’s Dolby Theatre on Sunday. From Halle Berry’s disco-ball Christian Siriano gown to Demi Moore’s Swarovski crystal-embellished Armani Privé dress, the work of embroiderers took center stage.
From Prison to the Open Championship: Australia’s Ryan Peak wins 104th New Zealand Open to clinch first major berth
Ryan Peake, a former Australian motorcycle gang member-turned-good with the help of golf, has added another positive chapter to his remarkable comeback story after earning a spot at The Open Championship on Sunday. Peake clinched his ticket to Royal Portrush after capturing the 104th New Zealand Open, sinking an 8-foot par putt on the final hole to avoid a four-way playoff. Entering the final round, trailing four strokes behind leader Guntaek Koh, Peake delivered a bogey-free 66 to finish at 23-under-par, claiming the title and the approximately $112,000 prize.
Figure skating community gathers for ‘Legacy on Ice’ to honor those lost in January plane crash
Little more than a month after a tragic air disaster took the lives of 28 members of the US figure skating community, emotions were on full display Sunday in Washington, DC, for the “Legacy on Ice” tribute. Co-hosted by Olympic champions Brian Boitano and Kristi Yamaguchi, “Legacy on Ice” was described as “a journey through history, resilience and remembrance.” The event comes in the wake of the January 29 plane crash that claimed the lives of all 67 people aboard American Airlines flight 5342 and the three soldiers aboard a US Army Black Hawk helicopter after a midair collision over the Potomac River.
Trump to pardon late Pete Rose ‘in the coming weeks’ while MLB considers petition to reinstate all-time hits leader
President Donald Trump announced Saturday that he plans to pardon the late baseball all-time hit king Pete Rose “in the coming weeks,” while Major League Baseball is considering a petition to posthumously remove the Cincinnati Reds icon from the sport’s ineligible list. In a statement on Truth Social, Trump wrote that he will be issuing a “complete pardon” of Rose who gambled on his own team, ending his budding baseball managerial career when he was banned from the sport in 1989 and making him ineligible for the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Trump criticized MLB for not having “the courage or decency” to put Rose into the Baseball Hall of Fame and urged them to posthumously award him the sport’s biggest honor.
Washington Commanders to acquire Deebo Samuel in trade with San Francisco 49ers
The Washington Commanders have made a major move to bolster their offense after agreeing to trade for star wide receiver Deebo Samuel from the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick. A source close to the deal confirmed to CNN that the terms of the trade had been agreed, pending a physical. The trade, initially reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and ESPN’s Adam Schefter, cannot be finalized until the new league year begins on March 12.
Steph Curry dunks for first time in six years, says it will be ‘the last’ of his career
With just over seven minutes left in the Golden State Warriors’ clash against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday, Steph Curry produced something rarely seen in his long, glittering career as he dunked for the first time in six years and perhaps for the last time too. “That will probably be my last dunk,” Curry told reporters afterward. “I’m calling it right now. That was the last one you’re going to see.” Curry led the way for the Warriors with 29 points and 13 assists but, in the absence of Jimmy Butler, his team fell to a 119-126 defeat against the 76ers on Saturday, snapping their five-game win streak.
