Bubba Wallace wins Brickyard 400 in double overtime at Indianapolis
With the fuel tank in his No. 23 Toyota nearly dry, Wallace held off Kyle Larson on two restarts after a red-flag for rain.
Denny Hamlin finsihed third, followed by Ryan Preece and Brad Keselowski.
Wallace had about a 3-second lead on Larson when the race was stopped on Lap 156 because of a brief shower that dampened the south end of the racetrack. The red flag to dry the racetrack lasted 22 minutes and pushed the race past the scheduled distance of 160 laps.
Capitalizing after making a two-tire stop on Lap 119, Wallace inherited the lead on Lap 143 when Ryan Blaney pitted from first. Larson, who had made a four-tire stop two laps after Wallace, had chopped the lead in half and was gaining by about a half-second per lap when the red flew at 5:04 p.m.
Ty Gibbs finished 16th to win the inaugural In Season Challenge and the $1 million prize, beating Ty Dillon, who finished three laps down.
Tire problems marred the race for mutliple contenders.
After leading 40 of the first 83 laps, Austin Cindric's No. 2 Ford suffered a right-rear failure while running first on Lap 84. Cindric was 42 laps into his stint and likely would have been pitting soon.
Team Penske teammate Joey Logano also suffered a right-rear failure on his No. 22 Ford on Lap 133 while trying to stretch his final tank of fuel to the finish.
Erik Jones, who had qualified third, finished 35th after crashing in Turn 3 on Lap 90 because his No. 43 Toyota lost its right-front tire at speed. The wheel was improperly secured on Jones' prior pit stop.
Stage 1 winner: Chase Briscoe
Stage 2 winner: Ryan Blaney

I'll never have a car payment. Here's my secret.
Driving a beat-up used car wasn't always a choice, but it became my preference. Older, beat-up cars aren't for everyone, and vehicle safety should always be paramount. But it's slim pickings here. Driving a beat-up used car wasn't always a choice, but it became my preference. During lean financial times in my life, avoiding a monthly car payment was key. That meant driving a paid-off SUV all the way into the ground, and then turning to the used auto auction circuit for a series of junkers that were surprisingly enjoyable to drive around. I'm lucky enough to have an uncommonly short commute, a complete lack of interest in modern vehicle aesthetics, a durable ego and a dependable auto shop in my neighborhood. Older, beat-up cars aren't for everyone, and vehicle safety should always be paramount. But it's slim pickings out there. Detroit Free Press autos writer Jamie LaReau reported recently that the average list price for a 3-year-old vehicle is now $32,635, an infuriating $9,476 more than it was six years ago. That's a lot of money. And for the driver who doesn't mind a little rust around the edges, there are affordable options out there. You might just need to dig up and dust off that old cassette tape collection to keep the cruising music playing. Here's my case for the humble clunker car: 1. Clunker cars save me money A couple of decades ago, Michiganders could lease a decent new car for $200 to $300 a month, often without a down payment. Sometimes even less. Those days appear to be behind us. So in 2021, after my 2008 Kia Sportage bit the dust, I shelled out $1,500 at auction for a bright red 1998 Toyota Camry. (Sorry, union die-hards. I do now own a Ford.) I dug some old cassette tapes out of my parents' basement – The Fugees, The Temptations, Michael Jackson, Fairuz. I spent another $1,500 on repairs and drove that thing happily for two and a half years. That comes out to $100 a month. And the insurance was dirt cheap. I sold it to a neighbor for $400 – a bargain because I like my neighbor – and purchased another, slightly better vehicle, again at auction. It's a formula I plan to keep following, gradually upgrading along the way, and flaunting my savings to anyone who'll listen. Opinion: I'm taking a stand against jacked-up airline fees by taking the middle seat 2. Older cars help me avoid touchscreen frustrations I like buttons and knobs in a dashboard. If I have to scroll and swipe and tap my way to turning on a defogger, I'm liable to curse and spit my way right into a distracted-driving tragedy. I've seen dashboard computer systems malfunction to the point where the driver was left stranded. I've had my behind uncomfortably toasted by heated seats. And I've spent way too much time trying and failing to get my phone to connect via Bluetooth to a modern car stereo system. Modern amenities aren't all they're cracked up to be. Certainly not at $500 a month. 3. Anything can go wrong. This keeps me ready. I like to keep close to the reality that just about anyone can go broke at the drop of a hat. A cancer diagnosis. A bad accident. A stock market crash. A sports betting addiction. There are 1,001 ways personal finances can go terribly wrong very quickly, necessitating serious lifestyle changes. I want to be sure I can handle it when catastrophe comes calling, and nothing says "ready for poverty" quite like having to reach through the window to open your car door. 4. Beater cars are easy to buy Compared with your typical dealership experience, which can be lengthy and stressful, buying a beater at auction or directly from another owner can be surprisingly smooth and quick. There are online and in-person auto auctions all over Michigan, just about every week. I've purchased two vehicles, and a whole lot of other fun junk, via a Kalamazoo-based online auction house with a warehouse and lot in Garden City, where vehicles can be inspected in-person before online bidding begins. (I didn't inspect either vehicle before buying them, but I'm a madman.) Opinion: Waymo cars get torched by LA protesters, burning Google – an immigration ally All it takes is creating an account, and using some restraint when it comes to bidding. It's easy to get caught up in the competition of trying to outbid everyone else, which can lead to overpaying. Going in with a maximum price in mind is key. Auction houses typically charge a 15%-18% premium on the final bid. Getting insurance and making a cash payment put the keys in your hands. Banks and credit unions won't likely offer auto loans for auction purchases, but they may provide personal loans. One key strategy when bidding in any online auction: Wait until the very end of the auction time frame to place your bid. That's when all the serious buyers make their bids. Jump in too early and turn away, and someone will swipe that bargain right out of your hands. 5. Owning a hooptie provides life lessons The first order of business after buying that hooptie is taking it to an auto shop for a safety inspection. Forcing myself through the process of finding a trustworthy repair shop, learning about the most commonly needed replacement parts and figuring out how to diagnose routine problems have seriously enriched my automobile knowledge. Opinion: When will we have flying cars? Trump should pump the brakes on testing air taxis. The experience has given me the ability to make some of the simpler fixes entirely on my own. Shopping junkyards for parts is next on my personal syllabus of Jalopy Maintenance 101. I grew up in Dearborn and live in Detroit. Not being much of a car enthusiast has always left me a bit insecure about my Motor City identity. Learning the basics of auto repair fixed that. Even if I may never fully appreciate cars. 6. Honestly? Driving a junker is a little fun. The SUV I drive now isn't a regular Ford Explorer. It's a 2014 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor with 157,000 hard-earned miles. And it was previously owned by the Westland Police Department. It has no back seats – plenty of room for activities. It has a pair of bright spotlights, which I've used to illuminate basketball hoops and outdoor work areas at night. It's also very fast. I've yet to find a safe way to really make use of that attribute. But speedy acceleration does come in handy when merging onto highways. And the CD player has given me an excuse to pull out the old library of 1990s and early-2000s treasures. 7. I flabbergast my friends and family My parents certainly don't get it. They know I could probably afford a somewhat nicer car, and I think they're embarrassed by my choice of vehicle. But the children in my family love playing in the old cop car. Traffic tends to slow down around me because the shape of my civilianized vehicle still fools a lot of drivers. It's big and intimidating, so I pull up slow and quiet on friends to give them a good scare. Dents and chips mean absolutely nothing, so a bump into a pole or a scrape against a tree branch are good for a laugh. The Camry may have been an even better conversation piece. It once left me briefly stranded on Belle Isle, refusing to start after a Free Press softball game. But after learning a quick tip via YouTube, I opened up the hood and used a softball to bang on the starter a few times. The delightfully unsophisticated trick had the everlasting Toyota engine purring like a kitten in minutes. It was an unlikely triumph that lifted my spirits for days. "That thing's gonna last you forever," I heard over and over at drive-thru windows and toll booths. It didn't. At least not in my possession. But the memories will.

Exclusive-Chinese consumer complaints show widespread padding of car sales figures
(Reuters) -A tactic used by Chinese automakers and dealers to inflate car sales has grown increasingly common in recent years in response to a bruising price war in the world's largest auto market, a Reuters analysis of consumer complaints has found. Earlier this month, Reuters reported EV brands Neta and Zeekr had arranged for cars to be insured before buyers purchased them, a scheme that effectively inflates sales numbers and gives the appearance the companies were hitting periodic targets. But the controversial tactic was not limited to the two companies and was employed elsewhere in the industry, according to a Reuters review of 97 separate consumer complaints published on three widely used Chinese websites. In more than a dozen cases, buyers said they were informed by dealerships that the practice was specifically designed to meet sales targets. The allegations cover some of China's largest domestic and foreign brands by sales volume, including homegrown champion BYD and Toyota, Volkswagen and Buick. The three foreign brands operate their China businesses in partnerships with state-owned giants GAC and SAIC Motor Group. While the earliest complaints date back to 2021, the majority were published this year and last as a price war squeezed an industry crucial to China's export-driven economy. Reuters reviewed complaints posted on a third-party site used for consumer dispute resolutions, and two other similar sites. The platforms require owners to verify their identity and submit proof of their allegations. In most of the cases reviewed, the automakers responded publicly, saying they sought to resolve problems. Reuters was not able to independently verify the complaints or their resolutions. It is not clear what portion of China's car sales were inflated by the insurance scheme. SAIC, which is a China joint venture partner for Volkswagen and Buick-owner General Motors, said it is committed to providing users with high-quality and standardised sales services but did not elaborate. The practice effectively disguises how much inventory automakers actually held, said Yale Zhang, managing director at consultancy Automotive Foresight. "That could lead to a misjudgment of monthly demand within the industry and result in increased production scheduling," Zhang said. CONSUMER ANGER Between 2021 and 2025, 48 separate buyers said on that they purchased new cars only to later discover they were already insured by the dealer. Many of the buyers said they felt deceived by the dealerships, especially when they realised the insurance on their cars was registered in other names. Likewise, there were 26 separate complaints published between 2021 and 2025 on the 315 auto consumer complaint platform, run by the state-owned China Internet Information Center. Another 23 were posted between 2022 and 2025 on Black Cat, a widely used consumer complaint platform run by tech firm Sina. In 14 complaints on the three platforms, buyers of BYD-, Neta-, Toyota-, Buick- and Chevrolet-branded cars said they were told by dealers the practice was aimed at booking sales early to meet targets. One complaint, filed in December against a SAIC GM dealer on alleged the automaker required 60 cars to be insured without buyers to meet sales targets. Another complaint on filed in April alleged a BYD store in Shaanxi told a buyer it had 12 cars insured in a batch to inflate sales last July. Buyers of Li Auto, Changan, FAW-Volkswagen and Geely also reported cars being insured pre-purchase. A Volkswagen Group China spokesperson said it refused to boost sales figures through insurance and that complaints would be investigated. DEALER COMPLAINTS Separately, Reuters identified 29 official media reports from 2020 to 2025 that detailed complaints against dealers of major brands, including BYD and Changan and foreign brands Volkswagen, GM, Toyota, Nissan and Honda, run by their joint ventures with state-owned Chinese automakers. The media outlets, across 15 provinces and cities, are controlled and owned by the regional governments. In nine cases, dealers representing FAW Hongqi, SAIC Roewe, SAIC VW, Dongfeng Nissan, GAC Toyota, GAC Honda and SAIC GM told official media that insuring unsold vehicles was for booking purchases early to meet sales targets. A Honda spokesperson said that GAC Honda prohibits dealers from taking out compulsory insurance before selling new cars and that any dealers found doing so would be dealt with severely. FAW Hongqi said it does not use insurance plans to pre-confirm sales and any such activity was not official company action. GM China said it does not require wholesale vehicles to be insured pre-purchase and that it counts deliveries, not insurance, in its sales reports. BYD, GAC Toyota, Geely, Changan, Nissan and Li Auto did not respond to requests for comment. Reuters also identified five articles published by Chinese courts between March 2023 and March 2025 about consumers taking dealers to court for concealing pre-purchase car insurance. In three of those, the court ruled for the buyers who demanded compensation. Verdicts for the other two were not publicised. 'ZERO MILEAGE' Vehicles booked as sold before reaching buyers are called "zero-mileage used cars" in China. The practice emerged out of the cut-throat competition as the market deals with a years-long price war caused by chronic overcapacity. More than 100 car brands are competing intensely to survive consolidation, deepening pressure to bolster sales and take market share. Analysts and investors that track the industry use two sets of data. Wholesale figures reported by automakers to the industry association show sales from automakers to dealers, while retail data compiled from mandatory traffic insurance registrations show the number of sales to users. Accusations of selling cars with existing insurance policies date back to 2016 when a Cadillac buyer told a regional radio programme he found the car was insured before his purchase. The practice appears to have picked up after the price war started in early 2023, when several brands led by Li Auto started posting weekly sales rankings on social media based on insurance registrations. The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers has criticised such postings as unreliable and this month blamed them for intensifying "vicious" competition.
