2025 Indianapolis 500: Kyle Larson's attempt to run 1,100 miles cut short, thanks to Indy 500 crash
The 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion went spinning into the infield before crashing into the outside wall in Turn 2 shortly after a restart on lap 92 of the 200-lap race. Larson was involved in the wreck with Kyffin Simpson and Sting Ray Robb.
The wreck happened when Larson's car snapped loose between Turns 1 and 2 after a downshift. It was Larson's third Indy 500-related crash this year. He also crashed in the open test in April and in practice less than two weeks before the race.

Larson was attempting to run both races in the same day for the second year in a row. A year ago, the Indy 500 was delayed by rain for hours, and he didn't have a chance to race at all in the 600 after it was shortened for rain.
Sunday's race was also delayed by rain, but not by nearly as long. The start of the race happened nearly an hour late because of drizzle at the track. That delay put Larson's chances of getting to Charlotte on time for the race in a bit of jeopardy.
That jeopardy disappeared with the crash, which happened just before 3 p.m. ET. With the 600 set to start after 6 p.m. ET, Larson should make it to Charlotte in plenty of time for the NASCAR race.
He qualified second for that race and will get to keep his spot there even if he doesn't make the drivers' meeting and introductions thanks to a NASCAR rule exemption. NASCAR previously mandated that drivers like Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch start at the back of the field for missing the drivers' meeting because of their double-duty attempts.

Abdul Carter practice diary: Giants rookie all business as he makes routine of wreaking havoc
The New York Giants spent the No. 3 overall pick on Abdul Carter, with the idea that the linebacker could make an instant impact on their defense. In the three months since they called in the pick, just about everything Carter has done on the field has reinforced that idea. He has looked flat-out dominant at times, like he's ready to take over an NFL game right now. Of course, we're still a month or so away from putting that idea to the test. In the meantime, however, I thought it would be fun to provide Giants fans some insight into what it's like to watch Carter at practice. So, here's a minute-by-minute account of Tuesday's practice, which should provide a behind-the-scenes look at the early stages of the 6-foot-3, 252-pounder's development. Advertisement 7:00 a.m.: Before Carter even steps onto the field, he's well into his day at the Giants' practice facility. Part of the routine he's tried to establish since becoming a Giant means being at the facility by 7 a.m. 'It's an early wake-up, come in early, get my body right, get in the meetings and (be ready) on the field,' Carter said. 9:52 a.m.: Carter emerges from the Giants' facility, descending the steps and running across the field. He points over to where outside linebackers coach Charlie Bullen is standing, getting things ready for practice. Carter high-knees and runs over to his position coach, shaking hands as they greet each other. The two chat and line up a bit against each other a few times. 'I'm trying to make that part of my routine, getting out here early, getting work in before practice,' Carter said. 'Get my body warmed up, my moves getting warmed up. Then once I get to practice, just get to work.' 9:59 a.m.: Carter and Bullen talk on their way over to another field as practice officially kicks off at 10 a.m. The Giants open every practice with a situational walk-through. Carter takes the field, lining up on the defense's left side against right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor — a preview of how Carter will spend a lot of his day. 10:04 a.m.: With the walk-through complete, players get in line for stretches and warmups. Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen approaches Carter, shaking hands and tapping his helmet as he greets other defensive players lined up. 10:10 a.m.: Before the real work of the day begins, the team comes together midfield in a huddle. Carter and coach Brian Daboll, however, use the moment to chat a bit. 'We always just check up on each other,' Carter said. 'Just talking about practice, what we should focus on, what I should focus on, things I can improve on, just things like that.' Advertisement As the huddle breaks, the pair walk and talk a bit before Carter heads over to take part in individual drills. Each position group breaks out to work together in one part of the Giants' three practice fields. We've mostly gotten lucky during camp, as we have a front-row seat during this portion of practice. We've been close enough to see Carter's shoe come off in one practice as he sped through a drill. But Tuesday, Carter and the other outside linebackers head to the end of the far field. They're working with bags and blocking sleds. Carter performs one move in slow motion before going full speed as he takes direction from Bullen. It can be hard to remember sometimes that Carter hasn't played a lot of outside linebacker, as he only transitioned to the position for his final season at Penn State. 10:15 a.m.: The linebackers are pushing each other with one hand up high on the other's chest. Carter matches up a bit against free agent acquisition Chauncey Golston, as they take turns. From afar, the drill makes Carter look like Darth Vader — a character he's long embraced with Vader's name sometimes written on his eye black during his collegiate tenure at Penn State. While he's yet to record an NFL sack, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him channel Vader during a sack celebration. A post shared by Abdul Carter (@abdu1carter) 10:19 a.m.: Unfortunately for us nosy reporters, the Giants set up the second day of offensive linemen/defensive linemen one-on-ones on the far field. With a crowd of linemen blocking the view, it's tough to get the full picture for any rep. Luckily, fan videos assist what I'm seeing. From my vantage point, I tally five reps for Carter. The first two appeared to be up against James Hudson, who's been playing left tackle in place of Andrew Thomas. The next two came against Evan Neal, who's been working at both guard spots as he makes the transition inside. Neal held his own against Carter on the first rep, while Carter got around Neal on the second rep thanks to some fast hands. Evan Neal v. Abdul Carter round 2 — Bobby Skinner (@BobbySkinner_) July 29, 2025 'It's just iron sharpening iron,' Carter said of the one-on-ones. 'Just us out here competing. That's what's gonna make us better for the games.' The final rep I caught came against Eluemunor. 10:34 a.m.: Carter isn't running with the starters during the first 11-on-11 period. Instead, he chats with Bullen while watching starting OLBs Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux. Carter comes out with the second team defense for his first reps of the team period. He's lined up on the left side for five snaps before hustling back off the sidelines. Advertisement 10:45 a.m.: The Giants defense heads off to a far field for an install period as they get ready for the day's game plan. Carter watches at first before going into the rotation, which mimics the next team period. 10:54 a.m.: The second 11-on-11 period begins, and after two reps, Carter replaces Thibodeaux with the starters. On one play, Carter breezes by the offensive line and chases after QB Russell Wilson with no one blocking his path. It's a glimmer of the signature burst speed his teammates have talked so much about. 10:59 a.m.: The second-team offense enters, and Carter gets one play against them before retreating to the sidelines. 11:01 a.m.: With Winston back in at QB, Carter plays another two reps, including one against this year's fifth rounder, Marcus Mbow. 11:10 a.m.: A special teams period gives Carter and some of the other defensive linemen a break to catch their breath and hydrate. 11:18 a.m.: With an extreme heat warning and the real-feel temperature close to 100 degrees, it's the official team water break. The Giants have paused mid-practice when it's been exceedingly hot this camp, with the training staff handing out watermelon and other hydration-friendly snacks/liquids. Carter, like this reporter, has been hydrating at plenty of points during practice — not just during the break period. He also spends this time talking to Bullen and speaks with offensive pass came coordinator/QBs coach Shea Tierney and QB Tommy DeVito a bit, too, just before the next period begins. 11:20 a.m.: It's another team period, and Carter gets two reps with the first unit before Thibodeaux replaces him. One thing I wanted to ask Carter about is why he changes his stance. He's in a three-point stance for one rep and a two-point stance on another. Carter said how he starts just depends on how he's feeling: 'I like to mix it up, change it up, and not give the offense the same looks over and over again,' Carter said. Advertisement Carter said he'd never really played in a 3-point stance until his final year at Penn State, when he made the switch to edge, and Bullen gives the players freedom to choose. 'As long as we're making plays, as long as we're doing that job, we good,' Carter said. 11:24 a.m.: Carter is back on the field, taking three reps against the second-team offense. On the final two plays, he's lined up on the right side rather than the left. 'It doesn't matter for me,' Carter said when asked about which side he prefers. 11:35 a.m.: Following two more reps with the first unit for Carter comes the second and final special teams period. Kicker Jude McAtamney is getting in some attempts with Carter lined up on defense. 11:45 a.m.: After watching the start of the final team period on the sidelines, Carter comes in for some of his most memorable moments of the day. This team period is more situational with each QB starting at first-and-10 on the 20-yard line. Carter plays three reps with the starters, including a likely would-be sack of Wilson. From my vantage point, Carter pushed Eluemunor nearly into Wilson, while Golston was making his way through guard Jon Runyan Jr. and left tackle James Hudson as the play unfolded. Carter then played two reps with fellow first-round rookie Jaxson Dart at QB, and it was the second play that became one of Carter's highlights of the day. Carter burst around right tackle Marcus Mbow and was quickly in Dart's face. While Dart managed to throw a beautiful touchdown pass to Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Carter arguably would have tallied a sack there. Spent the day watching OLB Abdul Carter so I'll have the full practice diary report later, including his thoughts on this play 👀 #giants — Charlotte Carroll (@charlottecrrll) July 29, 2025 'I saw he was making checks up front,' Carter said. 'I knew the ball was about to snap, so I got a good get-off, hit my move and got there pretty quick.' Carter briefly chatted with Daboll after the play. 'He was celebrating the touchdown,' Carter said of Daboll. 'But I was trying to tell him it was already a sack.' Advertisement Carter played two more reps against a Winston-led offense, and those would be the last of the rookie's day as he headed back to the sidelines, drinking plenty of fluids and watching the remainder of practice there. Noon: The longest and by far the hottest practice of training camp finally concludes, ending at noon on the dot. With his helmet off, Carter walks into the post-practice huddle. 12:07 p.m.: With the huddle broken down, Carter walks across the field to complete some media interviews, including this one. As he walks, fans chant 'Abdul' and 'Carter,' trying to snag his attention for a photo or autograph. After his media obligations, Carter high-fives a group of kids lined up before heading into the facility to more cheers and chants of his name. But while Carter's duties on the field are finished, he still has hours at the facility ahead of him. Up next: time in the ice tubs and watching film. 'It's a grind,' Carter said. Carter will get a short break from his typical routine Wednesday, as the team has the day off after three straight practices. Then, it's back to the grind. 'Just another day to get better,' Carter said.

Ohio State hosts Texas in one month. Here are 5 questions it must answer first
Ohio State will begin preseason camp on Thursday, kicking off the start of a new football season and a quest for a second consecutive national title. While the Buckeyes are likely to be a preseason top-five team heading into the Aug. 30 opener against Texas, there are plenty of questions they have to answer over the next month. Advertisement Here are five key storylines to watch as practice begins: Ryan Day and the Buckeyes are working through a quarterback battle for the third preseason camp in a row. This time, it's with two inexperienced quarterbacks: third-year former four-star recruit Lincoln Kienholz and second-year five-star recruit Julian Sayin. At Big Ten media days, Day said he expects a 'fierce competition' to find a starter in camp, which seems to confirm that this is as tight a race as we believe. Sayin left the spring with a slight lead, but now the battle is taking the next step. With just four weeks until the arrival of Arch Manning and Texas, somebody must begin to distance themselves from the other in camp. These are two young quarterbacks who combined to play just 35 snaps last year. Sayin attempted just 12 passes, and Kienholz hasn't thrown a pass since struggling in relief of the injured Devin Brown in the 2023 Cotton Bowl. That inexperience will lead to some inconsistent days in practice, like we saw in the spring and even two years ago when Kyle McCord and Brown went back and forth until the opener at Indiana. Ohio State would be better off if somebody took control of this battle early in camp and carried the momentum into the final weeks of August, but that can't be guaranteed. Although most believe Sayin will win the job, the competition is likely to continue through most of August. Still, even if it could make sense for Day to play both quarterbacks in certain situations this season, especially with Kienholz's athleticism, the Buckeyes need one starter going into Texas. Last season's national championship run showed how important an elite defensive line with depth is to succeed in this era of college football. And after Ohio State lost all four starters to the NFL Draft, there's still a lot of talent ready to step up. The defensive ends are pretty deep for a group that lost two former five-star recruits in Jack Sawyer and JT Tuimoloau. The new leader is Kenyatta Jackson Jr., who has been waiting in the wings for his chance to step up and has shown flashes of brilliance, albeit in limited snaps. There will be plenty of competition for snaps between Caden Curry, converted linebacker C.J. Hicks and transfers Beau Atkinson from North Carolina and Logan George from Idaho State. That's five ends who will play this year, with a lingering question of who will start alongside Jackson and how the rotation will work out. Advertisement I'd bet that Curry starts camp out as the second starter, but if Atkinson, who had 7.5 sacks last year as a rotational player at UNC, can adjust to Ohio State's scheme, he could jump into the lineup sooner rather than later. This is a good group of edge players, and even without a true star, it can put up numbers depending on how defensive line coach Larry Johnson and new defensive coordinator Matt Patricia want to use them. The bigger concern is defensive tackle. Kayden McDonald and Eddrick Houston are poised for strong seasons, and I'd bet on McDonald breaking out in a big way, but there's not much depth behind them. Ohio State has to find out who its third defensive tackle is before it takes the field against Texas. Siereveld has been one of the stars of the offseason. An offensive lineman might not be as exciting a name as Jeremiah Smith, but this is a sign of great things for an Ohio State team that has had issues with offensive line depth in recent years. Siereveld was an interior lineman out of high school, a four-star prospect from Lakota East High School just outside of Cincinnati. He battled for the right guard job with Tegra Tshabola early in his career but has since become an important swing player. New offensive line coach Tyler Bowen moved him around this spring, and he performed well wherever the Buckeyes needed him. With the addition of Rice transfer Ethan Onianwa, though, the left tackle spot became an unlikely spot for Siereveld. The focus has moved to the right side, where Tshabola is the favorite to start at guard and Siereveld seems to have solidified himself as the starting tackle. Still, there's a bit of a battle going on there when camp begins with Minnesota transfer Philip Daniels. I believe Siereveld will win that battle, but it wouldn't be a surprise if Ohio State still moves him around in camp. I think there will be times where we see Siereveld at guard during some sessions and then move back to tackle in the next one. Advertisement Siereveld gives Ohio State crucial versatility along the offensive line, a position where depth was crucial last year. This is a question that might not get answered until the season begins, but with the amount of playmakers Ohio State has, could it expand its personnel versatility? We know Ohio State loves to play in 11 personnel (one running back, one tight end and three receivers) and even uses two tight ends at times. Could it use 10 personnel, with four receivers, this year? And, if so, could it also go heavy and then run some 13 personnel a few plays later with three tight ends on the field? I think all of that is possible because of the skill-position depth the Buckeyes have. At receiver, Ohio State has the best player in the country in Smith, plus Carnell Tate, Brandon Inniss and Mylan Graham. That's four five-star recruits who could start this year. At tight end, Purdue transfer Max Klare has high expectations, and the Buckeyes also love what they have in Will Kacmarek, Jelani Thurman and Bennett Christian. Throw in Bryson Rodgers and five-star freshman Quincy Porter at wide receiver, and there's a wealth of potential for options for whomever wins the quarterback job. Being able to play Klare in the slot opens up more calls for the Buckeyes, which will make defenses uncomfortable. I think by the time October gets here, we'll begin to see more personnel groupings and formations for defenses to scout. This offense has questions at quarterback, but it has a chance to be an extremely fun group regardless. We end with the defensive backs, another position of strength for the Buckeyes. Caleb Downs returns as the best safety in the country, but there are questions about how the rest of the secondary will work out after losing corners Denzel Burke and Jordan Hancock and safety Lathan Ransom to the NFL. Advertisement Davison Igbinosun and Jermaine Mathews Jr. seem to have a lock on at least two corner spots, leaving one safety position and one corner open for somebody to grab. Malik Hartford will likely take over the other safety position, although Jaylen McClain has had a good offseason and will push for it as well. The slot corner position is one of the more intriguing position battles to watch this summer, as Ohio State could go in a number of directions. It might just go in the expected way and put Lorenzo Styles Jr. there and leave Mathews and Igbinosun outside. But co-defensive coordinator and cornerbacks coach Tim Walton has room to be creative. Mathews played some slot corner in the spring, which would open up an outside spot for former five-star recruit Aaron Scott or freshman five-star Devin Sanchez. Ohio State has the option to play a lot of dime this year, too, to get more defensive backs on the field in obvious passing downs. Similar to the receivers and tight ends, camp will be an important time to sort out the main rotation, but there's flexibility to figure out, too. (Photo of Julian Sayin: Jason Mowry / Getty Images)
