Rolex 24, Hour 14: Campbell vaults to the overall lead with Porsche
He immediately pulled away from the Acura, creating a margin of 6.1 seconds over 45 minutes before the latest FCY, which was called for the No. 43 Inter Europol ORECA stopping on track at NASCAR 2.
Tom Dillmann was behind the wheel at the time and had to be shuttled back to the pit lane on a flatbed.
This caused a flurry of activity in the pits as the hour came to a close.
After the round of stops for the field, the No. 6 Porsche – now with Mathieu Jaminet at the wheel – still holds the lead, with the No. 60 MSR Acura second. Raffaele Marciello sits third in BMW Team RLL's No. 24 M Hybrid V8.
In LMP2, Malthe Jakobsen is installed in the No. 04 Crowdstrike ORECA, which now leads the No. 88 AF Corse ORECA which has slipped to second since Nicklas Nielsen made way for Dylan Murry. Ryan Dalziel and Era Motorsport are third.
'Rexy' has taken control of GTD PRO. Alessio Picariello will be chased by No. 4 and No. 3 Corvettes of Tommy Milner and Daniel Juncadella when the race restarts.
Down the order Proton used the FCY stop as a chance to change the brakes on the front-end of its No. 20 Porsche which now sits ninth.
In GTD after Inception's Ferrari held a commanding lead during the previous two hours, disaster would strike the British Ferrari customer team during this hour.
Ollie Millroy was spotted crawling along the apron, limping back to pit lane with 10 and a half hours to go.
He would steer the car into pit lane where the mechanics would tend to the right-front corner before pushing it behind the wall for further inspection.
'I came out of Turn 5 and with no warning suffered a suspension failure. Front right corner. There was a bang and the car hit the ground,' Millroy told RACER.
The damage looks to have torn the mounting studs out of the chassis. 'If it can be fixed,' Millroy continued, 'it's a three-hour job.'
Whether this is the end or not, it's worth noting that Inception held the class lead at both the six and 12-hour mark, handing them a solid haul of Endurance Cup points.
This left Turner Motorsport's Robby Foley to claim the lead in the class in the No. 96 BMW M4 GT3 briefly. But after the stops under FCY, the No. 021 Triarsi Competizione Ferrari rose up the order to P1.
The surviving No. 27 Heart of Racing Aston Martin is second, with the No. 19 Van Der Steur Racing Vantage making it two cars in the top three for the British marque.

Sixers legend Wilt Chamberlain ranked No. 3 center in NBA history
Wilt Chamberlain is one of the legends in the history of the NBA. The only player to score 100 points in a game and with career averages of 30.1 points and 22.9 rebounds, Chamberlain is one of those players who one had to see to believe. Chamberlain spent 3.5 seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers and averaged 27.6 points and 23.9 rebounds while winning three MVPs and guiding the Sixers to the championship in 1967. The legendary big man was unbelievable and has his No. 13 jersey hanging from the rafters at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. HoopsHype ranked the top 20 centers in the history of the NBA and Chamberlain comes in ranked No. 3 on the list: The most dominant big man offensively in NBA history, though that partially had to do with the level of competition Wilt Chamberlain faced in his era. Still, when you dominate at the level Chamberlain did, who cares who he did it against? Chamberlain did come a little short in the team success department as he was usually better in the regular season than in the playoffs, something that many believe had to do with an unwillingness to get fouled late in close games due to his unreliable free throw. Chamberlain is one of the best players in Sixers history and will always have the respect of the NBA world. The only centers ranked ahead of him were fellow legends Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Guardians' Gavin Williams reflects on near no-hitter against Mets
Guardians' Gavin Williams reflects on near no-hitter against Mets originally appeared on The Sporting News Gavin Williams had already thrown a career-high 111 pitches through the first eight innings of the Cleveland Guardians' game against the New York Mets on Aug. 6, but he trotted to the mound looking to complete MLB's first no-hitter of the 2025 season. "When I went out for the ninth, if it took me 150 pitches to try and get a no-hitter done, that's what I would've done," Williams said in an interview with Foul Territory TV's Scott Braun and Trevor May on Friday. "The velo was still there, as everyone sees." He would have to accomplish the feat the hard way, though, by finding his way through the heart of the Mets' order — Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto and Pete Alonso — for the fourth time that afternoon. Williams' first pitch to Lindor crossed the plate well outside the strike zone for ball one. Lindor fouled off the next two pitches before swinging and missing at a curveball down and inside. The next at bat also began with a ball — this time, one that bounced off home plate. Now behind in the count, Williams threw an outside fastball that landed in the middle of the zone. Soto's bat connected with the ball, and despite Guardians center fielder Angel Martínez's best efforts, launched it over the center-field fence for a home run that ended both Williams' no-hit and shutout bids. "Obviously, Soto, left it up just a little over the plate for him, and he took a good swing," Williams said. "It was nice getting a refresher after he hit that, and [Guardians pitching coach] Carl [Willis] coming out and giving me a little break, trying to get two outs after that." Williams, unfortunately, did not get those final two outs. He got Alonso to fly out, but after allowing a six-pitch walk to Brandon Nimmo, Guardians manager Steven Vogt emerged from the dugout to make a pitching change. Cleveland, with Hunter Gaddis on the mound, would go on to claim a 4-1 victory after Mark Vientos flied out to center field. Williams still finished the contest with a strong stat line: 8.2 innings pitched, one hit, one earned run, four walks, six strikeouts and 126 pitches thrown, including 75 for strikes. Reflecting on the performance, Williams said his cutter and sinker were among the strongest pitches he threw that day. "The cutter wasn't there as much as I've had in the past, but I threw it to get them off balance. And then, throwing the sinker to lefties and righties — which, that was the first time I threw it both to righties and lefties — to get them off the heater," Williams said. "I know in the past I threw, I guess, 50% heaters in games, so being able to get the guys off the heater is big." He added that, even though the end result didn't turn out exactly how he may have wanted, finding himself two outs away from a no-hitter was an experience he won't soon forget. "It was just a surreal moment," Williams said. "[It] doesn't really happen that often. And being able to get in that position and stay in that position throughout the whole game in a good lineup, it was phenomenal."

McLaren F1's Oscar Piastri Announces New Partnership For Touching Cause
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. McLaren Racing Formula One driver Oscar Piastri has announced an ambassadorial partnership with My Room Children's Cancer Charity, which will help the Australian organization raise funds for cancer treatment and awareness. Piastri revealed the new partnership on Instagram, admitting that his meeting with six-year-old Kruz Seumanutafa at the Australian Grand Prix motivated him to collaborate with the charity. Seumanutafa, who is battling leukemia, received a signed helmet replica from Piastri at Albert Park. Since its inception in 1993, My Room Children's Cancer Charity has raised over $33 million, which has been donated to support the families of children battling cancer. Piastri revealed that his meeting with Seumanutafa helped him understand the kind of work the charity has been doing. He stated: "Since then, I've developed an understanding of the work that the charity provides during such difficult times, offering guidance and support across multiple areas. It feels a natural progression to become involved as an ambassador.

Second placed Oscar Piastri of Australia and McLaren in the Drivers Press Conference during the F1 Grand Prix of Hungary at Hungaroring on August 03, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary."Children's cancer is devastating for all involved and it's remarkable to see My Room's tireless work to help in any way they can." Announcing the new partnership on Instagram, Piastri said: "Some of you might remember that I met Kruz this year at the Australian Grand Prix, thanks to the My Room Children's Cancer Charity. The team have been keeping me updated with Kruz's journey, and I've really kind of understood a lot more about what the charity is all about and how they support very young kids with cancer. "Obviously, any kind of cancer is extremely devastating, let alone in children. So I'm very proud to announce that I'm going to become an ambassador for the My Room Children's Cancer Charity. "I'm really looking forward to working with them all on trying to raise more incredibly valuable funds, and also just support and awareness around cancer. So looking forward to working with My Room and yeah, thanks for all your support everyone." The announcement arrives during the F1 summer break, where teams take some time off from a hectic season to relax and reconnect with friends and family. With 10 more rounds to go before the season concludes, McLaren has been dominating the grid this season, as both Piastri and Lando Norris have scored consistently well. It is predicted that the championship battle between the two drivers will come down to the last race, given that only nine points separate them. But as of now, it is Piastri who leads the 2025 championship with 284 points, followed by Norris in second with 275 points.
