Shane van Gisbergen cruises to victory at Chicago Street Race
The Trackhouse Racing driver, who won Saturday's Xfinity Race and the Cup race's pole, got by leader Chase Briscoe with 16 laps left and had a 2 1/2-second lead over Ty Gibbs before a caution on the final lap gave him his second win of 2025.
The victory was the Auckland, New Zealand, native's third in 33 career starts and helped Chevrolet to sweep three victories in the streets of Chicago.
Following Gibbs were Tyler Reddick, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch.
Michael McDowell led a race-high 31 laps but developed a stuck throttle midway through the race and finished 32nd.
With the entire Hendrick Motorsports stable starting at the rear of the 40-car field due to failed qualifying runs or repairs, four drivers holding playoff spots had to work to move through the field.
Alex Bowman finished eighth, while Kyle Larson was 13th. Chase Elliott ended up 16th, and points leader William Byron was last.
In what may have been the final start in the Windy City's streets, race favorite van Gisbergen led the field from the pole position, but Row 1 starter McDowell snagged the lead in less than half a circuit.
Carson Hocevar caused the first caution on Lap 4 when he bounced off the apron of Turn 10 and smacked the outside wall, coming to rest as seven cars, including Austin Dillon and Brad Keselowski, piled into Hocevar's No. 77 car as it sat sideways against the outer barrier.
While much of the field pitted, McDowell stayed on the 2.2-mile course, leading every circuit to beat Busch and Reddick for the top bonus points as Stage 1 ended at Lap 20.
Ryan Blaney put his No. 12 Ford in position to claim 10 segment points as Stage 2 concluded on Lap 45. Briscoe, Reddick, Bowman and Bubba Wallace trailed the Team Penske driver.

Matthew Tkachuk adds fuel to the fire with blunt Connor McDavid comment after Florida Panthers' Stanley Cup triumph
After leading the Florida Panthers to back-to-back Stanley Cup championships, Matthew Tkachuk is in no mood to show mercy. When asked if he felt bad for and the Edmonton Oilers, Tkachuk dismissed the suggestion outright. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He pointed out that no one offered the Panthers sympathy when they lost in 2023 despite their injuries. Now, with two Cups in hand, Tkachuk isn't about to soften his edge, especially not for a rival team. Matthew Tkachuk Has Made Winning Stanley Cups Look Easy (Full Interview) | Stugotz Panthers-Oilers rivalry continues to heat up The Panthers and Oilers have built a fierce rivalry over the past two seasons, and Tkachuk's latest remarks have only intensified it. Despite the Panthers having the upper hand with two straight Finals wins, the tension shows no signs of cooling. Tkachuk, a former Calgary Flames forward, has a long history with the Oilers, and his latest comments reflect a personal edge that keeps this rivalry burning. Western Canada wants a win, Tkachuk says, but not yet According to Tkachuk, fans from Western Canada have been hoping for a break for the Edmonton Oilers. But his message was clear: the Stanley Cup isn't something to be handed out for pity. His competitive mindset has no room for emotional appeals. His time in Calgary made him all too familiar with Edmonton's hunger for a Cup and even more determined to deny it. Connor McDavid left searching for answers While the Panthers celebrate, Connor McDavid and the Oilers are left facing another tough offseason. Despite elite talent and deep playoff runs, they've fallen short once again. Tkachuk's cold reaction is likely to sting, but it may also fire up McDavid and his teammates heading into next year. The Oilers are still chasing their first championship in the McDavid era, and the Panthers are standing firmly in the way. Tkachuk has drawn a clear line in the sand: there are no handouts at the top. And with the Panthers now firmly established as the team to beat, don't expect this rivalry, or Tkachuk's sharp edge, to disappear anytime soon. Also Read:

NHL Contract News: Matthew Tkachuk breaks silence on Brad Marchand's extension and Panthers' long-term strategy
Matthew Tkachuk breaks silence on Brad Marchand's extension (Image via: Getty Images) The Florida Panthers are no longer chasing greatness, they've claimed it. After back-to-back Stanley Cup wins, the franchise has locked in key pieces and shocked the NHL world with a cap-defying offseason. But amid all the action, it was Matthew Tkachuk's reaction to Brad Marchand's deal that stole the spotlight and revealed deeper truths about the team's locker room. Matthew Tkachuk breaks silence as Panthers lock in their core When Brad Marchand landed in Florida via a mid-season trade, skeptics called him a short-term rental. But the 37-year-old forward proved his value instantly, delivering 20 points in 23 playoff games and helping the Panthers secure their second straight Cup. On July 1, he signed a 6-year, $31.5 million extension, a move that surprised many, but not Tkachuk. In a candid YouTube interview with Stugotz, Tkachuk shut down any speculation about locker room tension. When asked if he was annoyed by Marchand's arrival, his answer was clear: 'No, I loved it, because I knew that was a guy along with Seth Jones that could put us over the hump. And now that they're here for the next five years… or maybe six for Marchand, it's two culture guys, glue guys, that we're so lucky to have.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why seniors are rushing to get this Internet box – here's why!

FC Goa part way with skipper Odei Onaindia
ANI 11 Jul 2025, 11:02 GMT+10 New Delhi [India], July 11 (ANI): Indian Super League (ISL) side FC Goa on Thursday announced the departure of Spanish centre-back and club captain Odei Onaindia, according to the ISL website. His exceptional game-reading, aerial strength, and calmness under pressure made him one of the most dependable centre-backs in the league. Onaindia joined the Gaurs ahead of the 2023-24 season, following head coach Manolo Marquez from Hyderabad FC. The move reunited him with a tactical setup he was well-acquainted with, allowing the defender to settle in quickly. He struck up a formidable partnership with Sandesh Jhingan and the duo played a crucial role in FC Goa's strong defensive performances in the last two seasons. Even after Jhingan's injury, Onaindia remained a steady presence at the back, forging a strong understanding with Nim Dorjee during the latter half of the campaign and the start of the following season. Onaindia was a rock at the back, playing a key role in eight of FC Goa's nine clean sheets in the 2023-24 season. The team finished third in the regular season but lost in the semi-finals to Mumbai City FC. The following season, he continued to lead the defence with calm and control. FC Goa finished second but once again fell in the semi-finals, this time against Bengaluru FC. Their breakthrough came in the 2025 Kalinga Super Cup, where they beat Jamshedpur FC to win the Cup. Under Onaindia's leadership, the defence let in just two goals in the entire tournament. (ANI)
