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.

How carmakers are raising costs without you noticing
Carmakers are finding ways to pass tariff costs on to their customers even if the sticker price for vehicles remains steady. Currently most car parts that enter the US are slapped with a 25 percent tariff. As such some popular makers such as Toyota have announced that their models will get more expensive. But other automakers are already boosting prices in a way that seems almost invisible initially. Some brands have quietly slashed rebates and cheap financing deals, which will add hundreds of dollars to consumers' monthly payments, Bloomberg reported. Average incentives which once took 10 percent off the price of a new car are now around 6.7 percent instead, according to the Kelley Blue Book car buying guide. Some dealers are also sucking more out of their customers by hiking their delivery fees by as much as $400, according to The stealth charges are a way for automakers to pass on the cost of tariffs without putting consumers off with a large upfront price hike. 'On the consumer side, they're seeing several thousand dollars of actual-experience price increase, whereas the factory is saying, "No man, we didn't raise prices at all,"' Ford Dealer Morris Smith III told Bloomberg. 'Stealth is a good word for it,' he added. Such stealth hikes also help companies avoid Trump's wrath for blaming price increases on his policies. The President hit out at Walmart earlier this year after it revealed that it would be raising prices to help cope with the cost of tariffs. 'Walmart should STOP trying to blame Tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain. Walmart made BILLIONS OF DOLLARS last year, far more than expected,' he seethed on his social media site Truth Social. 'Between Walmart and China they should, as is said, 'EAT THE TARIFFS,' and not charge valued customers ANYTHING. I'll be watching, and so will your customers!!!' As well as the subtle price hikes, the average sale price for a new car rose 2.5 percent in April compared to the month before. Subaru said that Americans will see price increases between $750 and $2,055 on new cars starting this month. The increases were made in response to 'current market conditions,' Subaru said in a statement. 'The changes were made to offset increased costs while maintaining a solid value proposition for the customer,' the company added. Ford also announced price hikes as a result of tariffs, which analysis calculates will add roughly $480 onto the price of each new vehicle . General Motors said it expects to pay between $4 billion and $5 billion annually if tariffs remain at their current levels.

Michael Johnson cancels Grand Slam Track's LA meet amid financial concerns
Michael Johnson will cancel the fourth and final meet of the inaugural Grand Slam Track season amid financial concerns. Athletes and their representatives will be updated in a Zoom call on Thursday amid silence in the build-up to the LA leg scheduled for 28-29 June, as per The Times, after competing 'challenger' athletes were not announced ahead of time as per the three previous meets. Some of the action has played out in front of half-empty stadiums, and The Independent understands that the economics of the LA event had become unviable. The LA leg will not be replaced with another host city, but organisers remain confident that Grand Slam Track will continue in 2026. Ahead of the opening event in Kingston, Jamaica, Johnson's co-founder Steve Gera told The Independent that they were 'maniacally focused on having the youngest fanbase of any sports league in the world in the next five years'. more to follow…
