Kyle Larson crashes out of Indy, en route to Charlotte race
May 25 - Kyle Larson's dream of completing auto racing's classic double on Sunday ended early after he crashed on lap 91 of the Indianapolis 500.
Larson was heading into Turn 2 after the IndyCar race returned to green on that lap. He lost control as he went low into the turn and downshifted. That led to Larson spinning and crashing into Sting Ray Robb.
Larson got out of the car on his own. He said he will head to Charlotte, N.C., where he is scheduled to race in NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday evening.
"I got loose and just kind of got all over the place," Larson said on the FOX broadcast. .".. I got a little too eager there on the restart and caused that crash. I hate it for everybody that got caught up in it.
"Bummed out. (Will) try to get over this quickly and get on with Charlotte. Try to forget about it and win the next one."
Larson left the Indy 500 grounds a short time later via helicopter to start the journey to Charlotte.
Earlier in the race, Larson's car stalled during a pit stop, costing him time and positions.

US Open food and drink prices revealed as golf fans fume at ‘disgrace' of a menu and staggering cost of WATER
GOLF fans fumed at the "disgrace" of a menu at the US Open. The tournament kicks off on Thursday but already the Oakmont concession prices have been revealed online. 3 3 And fans were stunned to see just how much a bite to eat could set them back. A Philly cheesesteak was the heftiest meal on the menu - costing $13.95 (£10.33) - while crisps were $3.49 (£2.58). A single Corona costs $11.95 (£8.85) - despite being able to buy a four-pack for £6 at Sainsbury's. Even a bottle of water is $4.95 (£3.66) - but what really did it for fans was the $1.95 (£1.44) price of a banana. One raged: "$1.98 for a banana??? I'm taking my business elsewhere!" Another fumed: "$1.95 for a banana is outrageous." One said: "$2 for a banana is crazy. Can get a bundle at the store for under $2!!! I am irate." On the course, American Bryson DeChambeau looks to retain his US Open title but Rory McIlroy enters off the back of his Masters win in April. Scottie Scheffler also claimed PGA Championship glory in May and will tee off as the bookies' favourite to go all the way. Elsewhere, fighting tooth and nail to make a name for himself in Pennsylvania will be full-time dentist Matt Vogt. Vogt - who runs his own dentistry practice in Indianapolis - is 1,173rd in the World Amateur Rankings but secured a debut place at a major. Not only does he hope his golf career will take off but also his dentistry business, revealing: "I think they've gotten a ton of enquiries. "I've got such a great team, I've got friends helping me out with all those messages and enquiries and said, 'hey, guys, forward those to Chris, my buddy, and make sure you stay focused on patients because that's what we're there to do in McCordsville, Indiana'. "It's been a lot of fun, some patients reaching out and fellow dentists. I feel like there are so many people behind me this week - Oakmont, Pittsburgh, dentistry - it's been fun. "Honestly, from a business perspective, that's not what it's about. We try to take good care of people, and if it brings us more great patients that we can help, awesome. "It will give us something to talk about maybe in and around the office." 3

MLB roundup: Chris Sale whiffs 11 Brewers; Braves end skid
June 10 - Chris Sale allowed one run over seven-plus dominant innings and the visiting Atlanta Braves hit three homers to snap a seven-game losing streak with a 7-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday. Matt Olson and Eli White each hit a two-run homer and Ronald Acuna Jr. belted a solo homer for the Braves, who had lost 14 of their previous 17 games. Sale (4-4) allowed five hits, struck out a season-high 11 and walked two. Atlanta's Ozzie Albies singled in the sixth and eighth innings, giving him 1,000 career hits and extending his career-high on-base streak to 24 games. Milwaukee has lost three of its last four games, scoring just one run total in the three defeats. Aaron Civale (1-2) yielded two runs on five hits in 4 2/3 innings. Diamondbacks 8, Mariners 4 (11 innings) Josh Naylor hit a walk-off grand slam with one out in the 11th inning as Arizona recovered from a blown lead in the ninth for a victory over Seattle in Phoenix. Naylor's third hit of the game, the blast off Carlos Vargas (1-5), allowed the D-backs to break a three-game losing streak. Jalen Beeks (2-0) earned the win. The Mariners erased a four-run deficit in the ninth on RBI singles from Donovan Solano and Cole Young and a two-run homer from Dominic Canzone, recalled from Triple-A Tacoma earlier in the day, Phillies 4, Cubs 3 (11 innings) Brandon Marsh's RBI single capped a two-run, 11th-inning rally as host Philadelphia rallied to top Chicago. Otto Kemp recorded the first three hits of his major league career for the Phillies, who had lost their previous five games. Nick Castellanos also had three hits as Philadelphia handed Chicago its fourth loss in six games. After the Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong doubled home a run off Carlos Hernandez (1-0) in the top of the 11th, J.T. Realmuto began the bottom of the frame with a game-tying single off Daniel Palencia (0-2). Three batters later, Marsh followed with a walk-off hit off the base of the left-center-field wall. Pirates 10, Marlins 3 Adam Frazier and Andrew McCutchen each had three hits and an RBI, and Bryan Reynolds had two hits including a bases-clearing triple to help host Pittsburgh top Miami. The Pirates extended their season-high winning streak to four in a row, and their run total matched their season high. Every starter in Pittsburgh's lineup had at least one hit. Pirates reliever Caleb Ferguson (2-0) threw two perfect innings. The Marlins got a homer from Otto Lopez but lost for the seventh time in games. Eury Perez (0-1), in his first start since undergoing Tommy John surgery in April 2024, allowed two runs in 4 1/3 innings. Reds 7, Guardians 4 Jake Fraley socked a solo homer in a three-hit game while Wade Miley earned his first victory in nearly two years as visiting Cincinnati beat Cleveland to claim the season series between the in-state rivals. Miley (1-0) worked five innings, allowing three runs on five hits in his second appearance since joining the team on Wednesday following his recovery from Tommy John surgery performed in May 2024. Emilio Pagan tossed a scoreless ninth inning for his 16th save. Bo Naylor homered and singled for the Guardians, who took their fourth loss in five games. Luis L. Ortiz (3-7) surrendered four runs on nine hits in 4 2/3 innings. Blue Jays 5, Cardinals 4 (10 innings) Alejandro Kirk went 4-for-5 with a homer, and his RBI double lifted visiting Toronto past St. Louis. Jonatan Clase hit a game-tying homer in the ninth inning for the Blue Jays, who won for the 10th time in 12 games. Yariel Rodriguez (1-0) earned the victory despite blowing an eighth-inning lead, and Jeff Hoffman pitched a 1-2-3 bottom of the 10th for his 16th save. Ivan Herrera hit a go-ahead, three-run homer for the Cardinals in the eighth inning. However, Ryan Helsley served up Clase's tying homer in the ninth before Phil Maton (0-2) permitted Kirk's decisive hit in the 10th. Rays 10, Red Sox 8 (11 innings) Jake Mangum went 4-for-6 with two RBIs for Tampa Bay to upend host Boston in the opener of a three-game series. After Junior Caminero drew a bases-loaded, full-count walk off Red Sox reliever Zack Kelly (1-3), Mangum beat out an RBI infield single that delivered an insurance run and helped Massachusetts native Ian Seymour (1-0) earn a win in his major league debut. Yandy Diaz and Jonathan Aranda had two hits apiece for the Rays. Red Sox shortstop went 0-for-4 with an RBI groundout in his big-league debut. Ceddanne Rafaela, Romy Gonzalez and Trevor Story all had three hits for Boston. Angels 7, Athletics 4 Yusei Kikuchi allowed one hit over 7 1/3 shutout innings and Jo Adell homered and had three RBIs as Los Angeles remained perfect against the Athletics with a win in Anaheim, Calif. Mike Trout had two RBIs and Zach Neto and Nolan Schanuel each drove in one to help the Angels win for the fifth time in the past seven games. Los Angeles is 5-0 against the Athletics this season. JJ Bleday and rookie Max Muncy hit two-run homers for the Athletics, who lost for the 22nd time in the past 26 games. Athletics rookie center fielder Denzel Clarke made another spectacular grab, this time taking a homer away from Schanuel. Dodgers 8, Padres 7 (10 innings) Andy Pages' RBI double snapped a 10th-inning tie and lifted visiting Los Angeles to a win over San Diego. Pages laced a 1-1 pitch from Wandy Peralta (3-1) to the left field wall, scoring Max Muncy, the automatic runner to start the inning. Tommy Edman added a run-scoring single off second base to provide a cushion. Freddie Freeman finished with three of the Dodgers' 12 hits, while Pages and Edman each added two. Manny Machado was the only San Diego batter with two hits, while teammate Tyler Wade hit a three-run triple. Jackson Merrill's 10th-inning RBI double wasn't enough. --Field Level Media

Someone's just paid $800k over the list price for this Singer DLS
Someone's just paid $800k over the list price for this Singer DLS Three years on, the daddy of all 911 restomods is now a $3m car. Still think Singers are overpriced? Skip 20 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Turn on Javascript to see all the available pictures. 1 / 20 When Singer launched its Design and Lightweighting Study (DLS) a few years back, it pre-sold each of the 75 examples before the first client car even debuted. This foreshadowed spectacular inflation for the DLS, as is now evidenced by this Bring a Trailer auction. Yep, someone has just paid $3m (about £2.2m) for a car that cost $2.2m three years ago. So in TG maths, that's roughly... £600k earned by doing absolutely nothing. Advertisement - Page continues below Literally, because it's racked up an extra one mile over the last year for a total odometer readout of… 18. If you completed the London Marathon a couple of months back, well done: you officially covered more ground in that single day than this thing has in its entire (second) life. Anyway, about the DLS. This is chassis #73, and its underpinnings are from a 1991-reg 964-generation Carrera… sort of. Because while the odd nut and bolt might be the same, most of the mechanical elements have been cranked right up to 11. That Mezger-built, air-cooled, nat-asp flat-six sounds savage through the Inconel-titanium exhaust toward a 9.3k redline, and cooks up a soundtrack akin to Zeus opening the heavens above. Its numbers are strong: around 500bhp, 0-62mph in the late threes and a predicted top speed of 210mph. And all that's achieved using a good old six-speed Hewland manual. It's not just about brute force either. The DLS' chassis and subframes are 60 per cent stiffer than stock, the whole car squats 20mm lower to the ground than a standard 964, and there's a 40mm FIA-grade roll cage hidden beneath its carbon-clad body. Advertisement - Page continues below All this makes for a sub-1.1-tonne vehicle that'll put on a more precise sequence of dances than Channing Tatum in Step Up, thanks also to the Michelin rubber and Brembo brakes. READ MORE Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer: Classic Turbo review Chassis #73 also gets some tasteful touches, like staggered 18in forged magnesium alloys, blue leather Recaro carbon seats with tartan inserts, plus 18-karat gold trim along the rev counter. That's on top of one main characteristic that draws people to the DLS: it looks like an old 911, but one that's sautéed with a few subtle modern cues. All of which begs the question… are Singer's cars actually massively underpriced? Top Gear Newsletter Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter.
