🏎️ Bubba Wallace Wins Brickyard 400 in Double OT |
Bubba Wallace pulled off a stunning victory at the Brickyard 400 on Sunday, nailing down the win in double overtime at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Against the clock and low on fuel, he fended off defending champion Kyle Larson through not one but two restarts—holding the lead both times after a brief rain stoppage.
Wallace's triumph snaps a 100‑race winless skid, marks his third career Cup Series win, and punches his ticket to the NASCAR Cup playoffs.
🎥 Watch: Overtime highlights (YouTube) | ⚾ Royals Extend Top SP Trade Target Seth Lugo |
The Royals reportedly locked up right‑hander Seth Lugo with a two‑year, $46 million extension that includes a performance‑based vesting option for 2028, effectively removing him from the trade market as the deadline looms.
Once considered one of the top starting pitching targets on the market, Lugo is now earmarked as a cornerstone of Kansas City's rotation through 2027.
The deal underscores the Royals' intention to stay in the playoff hunt rather than selling off their top arms—Lugo has a 7–5 record with a 2.95 ERA and 99 strikeouts in 113 innings this season. | 🏈 Chargers, Rashawn Slater Agree to Mega Extension |
The Chargers finalized a blockbuster four‑year, $114 million extension with All‑Pro left tackle Rashawn Slater on Sunday, locking in one of the NFL’s premier protectors.
The deal includes a league‑leading $92 million guaranteed and $29 million signing bonus, translating to a $28.5 million average annual value, making him the highest‑paid offensive lineman by APY in NFL history.
Slater’s deal sets a new benchmark, surpassing tackles like Tristan Wirfs ($28.12M APY) and Penei Sewell ($28M APY), and reflects his rapid rise from a first‑round rookie standout to a two‑time Pro Bowler.
This move ensures long‑term stability for Justin Herbert’s blind‑side, keeping the Chargers’ anchor man front‑loaded for the foreseeable future. |
