NASCAR Power Rankings: Ryan Blaney No. 1; Joey Logano, Alex Bowman Back In
Two drivers who finished in the top five at Richmond Raceway enter the rankings, as Alex Bowman (second) and Joey Logano (fourth) are back in the top 10. Having some momentum is good for those looking ahead to the playoffs. Those on the bubble or needing a win to get in — well, they know they need some good fortune in the regular-season finale Saturday at Daytona. This will be the last power rankings for the 2025 season. Starting next week, we will start playoff rankings, ranking drivers based on their chances of winning the title. Dropped out: Christopher Bell (Last Week: 7), Ryan Preece (Last Week: 9) On the verge: Christopher Bell, Austin Cindric, Austin Dillon, Ryan Preece, Tyler Reddick, Shane van Gisbergen 10. Chase Elliott (Last Week: 10) Elliott got collected in an accident on Lap 198, putting him last at Richmond. But he'll stay in these rankings, as the Hendrick driver had a shot to win the regular-season title up until Saturday night. 9. Joey Logano (Last Week: Not Ranked) Logano had a solid night at Richmond with a fourth-place finish. It was his first top five in the last 11 races, but the Team Penske driver does have three top 10s in the last six. 8. Brad Keselowski (Last Week: 8) Keselowski had a relatively quiet day at Richmond with a ninth-place finish. It was the RFK Racing driver's eighth top 10 in his last 13 starts. 7. Alex Bowman (Last Week: Not Ranked) Bowman dropped out of the rankings a week earlier but after nearly winning Richmond, he's back on the list. The Hendrick driver's second-place finish gives him four top 10s (and two top fives) in his last five starts but his playoff status will come down to Daytona. 6. Bubba Wallace (Last Week: 6) A wheel falling off the Wallace car ruined a potentially great day as he had led 123 laps and finished second in the first stage and first in the second stage. At least the 23XI Racing driver knows he had speed. 5. Denny Hamlin (Last Week: 4) Hamlin had a rough day on pit road and finished 10th at Richmond. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver had five top fives in his nine previous starts, but this stopped some of the bleeding from a pair of finishes outside the top 20 entering Richmond. 4. Chase Briscoe (Last Week: 3) Involved in the wreck around the midway point of the race, Briscoe finished 13th at Richmond. The JGR driver had four top fives in the five races leading into Richmond. 3. Kyle Larson (Last Week: 5) Larson finished sixth at Richmond. And while he might have hoped for more, the Hendrick driver at least had a solid result after a pair of finishes outside the top 25. 2. William Byron (Last Week: 2) Byron finished 12th at Richmond but clinched the regular-season title. So it was one of the best 12th-place finishes of the Hendrick driver's career. 1. Ryan Blaney (Last Week: 1) Blaney retained the top spot with a third-place finish at Richmond. It was the fifth consecutive finish of eighth or better for the Team Penske driver.

Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk suspended 4 years after positive test
Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk, a world championships silver medalist in the long jump and triple jump, has been suspended four years after testing positive for metabolites of testosterone. Bekh-Romanchuk, a 30-year-old, three-time Olympian from Ukraine, returned the positive result from a Dec. 7 drug test. She denied taking testosterone, speaking in a May 21 interview with anti-doping authorities. On July 9, she provided an explanation that a doctor alleged that her medical condition and treatment could explain an elevated level of (endogenous) testosterone. The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), which handles doping cases in track and field, did not accept the explanation to affect the standard four-year ban. Her suspension began May 13, the date she was first provisionally banned. She can appeal the ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. "I can no longer fight on two fronts — my honest name in front of the Athletics Integrity Unit and my future in my personal life," was posted on Bekh-Romanchuk's social media, according to a translation. "It's incredibly exhausting, firstly emotionally and has an impact on my health. Sometimes it's important to take a break and get your priorities right. That's why I decided to take a break to focus on my family and my own health. Soon the decision of the Athletics Integrity Unit will be published, with which I strongly disagree. I refused to sign any documents that required recognition of my guilt, because I am an honest person and my humanity and dignity are important to me. It pains me that my case has been handled carelessly and not conducted the necessary investigation. I understand that this raises a lot of questions - so soon I will be giving a big interview in which I will tell everything frankly." Bekh-Romanchuk won world championships silver in the long jump in 2019 and silver in the triple jump in 2023. Her best Olympic finish was fifth in the long jump at the Tokyo Games. Her most recent competition was the Paris Games, where she placed 11th in the long jump after being sidelined by injury earlier in 2024. Cooper Lutkenhaus set to be youngest American in World Track and Field Championships history Cooper Lutkenhaus finished second to Donavan Brazier in the U.S. 800m final. Nick Zaccardi,

Iga Swiatek wins Cincinnati Open title, defeats Jasmine Paolini
CINCINNATI -- Third-ranked Iga Swiatek captured the Cincinnati Open title for the first time by defeating No. 7 Jasmine Paolini 7-5, 6-4 on Monday night. Swiatek had failed to advance past the semifinals in her six previous appearances at the Cincinnati Open. She reached the semifinals in Cincinnati each of the past two years, but lost to eventual champions Coco Gauff in 2023 and Aryna Sabalenka in 2024. 'It means a lot to me,' Swiatek said. 'This year I really wanted it. I'm just very happy. It's nice to check off the list another tournament that I haven't won. I have friends here. It's a nice, relaxed tournament before New York." Swiatek has won all six meetings against the Italian, dropping only one set in those matches. Paolini jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first set but Swiatek roared back to go ahead 5-3. Paolini broke serve to get even at 5-5, but Swiatek closed out a first-set victory in 56 minutes. Swiatek's eighth ace of the match gave her a 5-3 lead in the second set. Paolini broke serve twice in the second set and was within 5-4, but Swiatek was able to serve out the match for her 24th career singles title. 'This season hasn't been easy," Swiatek said. 'I've had areas to improve. It's not easy to win tournaments when everyone is expecting you to.' Swiatek had seven double faults to two for Paolini. But she also had nine aces, while Paolini had none. 'When the rallies were going, I felt good on the court,' Paolini said. 'The serves were the difference. When she needed an ace, she hit an ace.' Paolini is the first Italian woman to reach the finals in Cincinnati. Since she was a qualifier at the Cincinnati Open in 2023, Paolini has reached two Grand Slam singles finals, won a Grand Slam doubles title and an Olympic gold medal. 'It was definitely a positive tournament for me,' Paolini said. 'It wasn't enough, of course. I just need to improve.' The Cincinnati Open is considered a tuneup for the U.S. Open, which begins Sunday in New York. The last two years, both the men's and women's Cincinnati Open champions went on to win the final Grand Slam tournament of the year. ___
