A veteran stock-car driver at a North Carolina short track died over the weekend after suffering a medical emergency while competing in a race, officials said. Robbie Brewer's car struck head-on a wall on the quarter-mile (0.40-kilometer) track at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem and came to a stop near the start-finish line. Track workers peeled away the roof to remove 53-year-old Brewer, and an ambulance took him to Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist hospital, after which he died, the Winston-Salem Journal reported. 'We are saddened by the passing of Robbie Brewer after he was transported to an area medical facility following an on-track medical incident,' track officials said Sunday in a statement. "Robbie was a talented and passionate racer, and highly respected competitor among his peers. Our thoughts and prayers are with Robbie's family and friends at this time.' Details of the medical emergency weren't released. Brewer was competing in a 20-lap Sportsman Series race at Bowman Gray, where thousands of racing fans turn out weekly on Saturday nights in the spring and summer for races across four divisions. Bowman Gray also was the locale for this year's preseason NASCAR Cup Series exhibition event in early February. Brewer's first career start at the oval came in 1990, and he made nearly 260 starts in the Sportsman Division, winning the points championship in 2011, the newspaper reported. Fellow Bowman Gray driver Brad Lewis, whose race shop is near where Brewer lived, said Brewer "was like a big brother to me even though we were not that far apart in age.' 'He was a wheelman through and through,' Lewis said. 'I'm not only going to honor him the rest of the season but for as long as we race out there. He'll be missed.'

Stick to football! Hilarious moment Newcastle star SHANKS his tee shot at local golf course
A Newcastle star was left blushing after shanking his tee shot into the foliage on his local golf course. Golf is one of the treasured hobbies among footballers to escape the pressures of their careers and English stars such as Harry Kane and Aaron Ramsdale love getting out on the green. Former England goalkeeper Ben Foster has almost 85,000 people who follow his golf updates on YouTube such is the demand for content. But Dan Burn will be hoping Newcastle fans and Eddie Howe give him a reprieve after he sent a stray shot flying into the bushes at Blyth Golf Course. The 33-year-old was filmed from the bedroom window of a nearby house taking his frightful swing and then reacting with incredulity when he saw where it ended up. After taking a practice swing, Burn composed himself and took a final look at his target, but ended up mishitting the ball to the right, before comically holding his pose as he watched it sink into the greenery. #NUFC #BlythGolfClub Not a good start for Dan Burn lol ⛳️🤭 — ® Micky Bell (@Newshamboy) August 11, 2025 On that evidence, he isn't likely to be on set pieces this season - though after his expert header against Liverpool in last season's Carabao Cup final, fans know he is more dangerous in the box from dead ball situations anyway. Fortunately the defender had time to make amends as Blyth offers an 18-hole course for its frequenters to enjoy. 'Love the way he held his position trying to style it out,' said one fan on X. 'He's nearly hit the cars lol,' said another. 'Surely he needs bigger clubs,' one supporter pointed out, with many noticing how far 6ft 7in Burn had to stoop to hit the ball. 'Been taking lessons off Peter Crouch,' joked another. 'Too big to play golf him,' one added. In any case, Burn can rest assured that his golfing antics won't affect his status on Tyneside. The much-loved defender signed a contract extension in May - as exclusively forecasted by Daily Mail Sport - to tie him down until 2027. He said: 'I still feel like I'm getting better and I don't feel that I've hit the top of the hill yet. It'll be tough to top this season but hopefully we can do that over the next couple of years. 'It's a dream come true to be playing for this club and I'm delighted that I get to keep doing it.' Newcastle United head coach Howe, added: 'Dan has had an incredible season. He has been a key part of our most memorable moments and has rightly been rewarded with senior international football. 'He is a leader who epitomises the attitude and commitment we want, and I'm delighted he'll be staying with us for even longer.'
