Defending champ Kyle Larson returns to Brickyard seeking turnaround
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Kyle Larson raced to his third NASCAR Cup victory of the season at Kansas in mid-May then turned his attention to his second and perhaps final attempt at racing's double — completing all 1,100 miles of the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. Instead, he was hit with a double whammy. A crash on Lap 92 knocked him out of the 500, relegating him to 24th, and two crashes — the second on Lap 245 — knocked him out in Charlotte, where he finished 37th. Not much has gone right for Lason since then. He posted just one top five finish over the next eight races before finishing fourth at Dover last weekend. Now, the defending Brickyard 400 champion is back at Indianapolis Motor Speedway trying to recharge his season. 'It's great to be back here in Indy and back at the track, hopefully I'll do a much better job than I did in May,' he said Friday. 'It's a privilege to get to run here and I would love nothing more than a good run and hopefully kind of put the bow on the double stuff.' Only three drivers in race history own back-to-back Brickyard wins — Jimmie Johnson in 2008-09, Kyle Busch in 2015-16 and Kevin Harvick in 2019-20. Larson's won last year on Indy's historic 2.5-mile oval instead of the road course used the previous three years. Most if not all drivers including Larson prefer running the oval. 'There's so many people from all over the world here whether it be May or our events or, really for that matter, any events,' Justin Allgaier said. '... It's just there's nothing quite like it;' Larson understands having driven an IndyCar on the oval each of the last two Mays and now back in a Cup car, his fourth start in 14 months at the Brickyard. The difference this year: Larson wants to change directions after some sub-par results. But they haven't dashed his championship hopes. The 2021 Cup champ is tied for second in wins this season, already has accrued 23 playoff points and trails only Hendrick Motorsports teammates Chase Elliott, the 2020 Cup champ, and William Byron in points. Neither Elliott or Byron has won the 400, though. Neither has Denny Hamlin, who sits just behind Larson in points despite winning a series-best four times including last weekend at Dover. He also signed a two-year contract extension with Joe Gibbs Racing on Friday. If he can add a win Sunday to the three he's had in the Daytona 500 and Southern 500 and the one Coca-Cola 600 title, Hamlin would join the short list of drivers who have won all four Cup crown jewel races in their career. 'It certainly would mean a lot to me,' said Hamlin, who has started 16 Brickyards. 'We've come close. We were actually as close on the road course as we were on ovals although I don't know — you could argue whether that (road race) was actually a crown jewel or not. So, yeah, highly motivated.' But things already are off script for Larson, Hamlin and everyone else in Indy. Friday's scheduled practice was rained out, making the second week in a row practice was washed out. Qualifying is scheduled for Saturday when temperatures are forecast to be in the mid to upper 80s with rain in the forecast most of the afternoon. The forecast for Sunday looks almost identical to Saturday. That's not what Larson wanted to hear even though race organizers rescheduled a short practice for Saturday afternoon. 'Hopefully, our car is good again,' he said before the scheduled practice. 'I believe it should be fast, if not better than it was last year. So, you know, hopefully we'll have a good practice, good qualifying (Saturday) and execute a good race on Sunday.' Larson's goal is simple — qualify up front, stay up front and stay out of the trouble he's found far too routinely lately. 'When (Christopher Bell) spun (at Dover), I thought I was going to get collected and be like 'Uh, oh, just continuing our bad luck here,' he said. 'So, hopefully, this is the beginning of us to kind turn things around. We'll see.' ___ AP auto racing:

Carli Lloyd Knows Big Games. Here's Why She Thinks Spain Has The Edge Over England In Euro Final
When it comes to playing in high-stakes tournaments and finals, few can match Carli Lloyd. I spoke with the U.S. women's national team legend and FOX Sports analyst about the UEFA 2025 Women's Euro. Who has stood out? Why have penalties been such a hot topic. And, who'll win Sunday's blockbuster final? Which players have stood out or impressed you the most? Carli Lloyd: The big ones are easy to talk about, but I would probably have to say Patri Guijarro from Spain is No. 1. She's been the engine and she's been brilliant in the middle. I think all of the attacking players usually get all the praise and the hype and whatnot, but she's been absolutely crucial to the Spanish side's attack with her link play and ability to read the game. Not just keeping possession for the sake of keeping possession, but forward progressive passes that she makes. So it's been really, really cool to see. And obviously she's been having a really good year [for Barcelona]. Then with the likes of Aitana Bonmatí and Alexia Putellas, who are having great tournaments, some other Spanish players fly a bit more under the radar. I think [Barcelona forward] Claudia Pina has been having an outstanding season, which has carried over into this tournament for Spain. She was the only real bright attacking threat against Switzerland and scored an unbelievable goal. Her ability to attack players on the dribble and unleash her signature shot has made her into a deadly attacker. And I would have to highlight [England's 19-year-old forward] Michelle Agyemang. I think people are calling for her to be starting, or this and that. I don't think she should be starting [yet]. I think she's still young, and she has a bright future and I think that with young players, you often have to be a bit delicate to the situation of when to kind of give them that freedom. And I think she's come on and she's been absolutely crucial, scoring big-time goals and just her ability to get in behind and embrace the moment. The moments don't seem too big for her and she's a bright spot that has been really enjoyable to watch. Penalty kicks have been a hot topic. What has stood out to you? CL: What I found interesting was [France manager Laurent Bonadei and Sweden manager Peter Gerhardssen] said they weren't too focused on penalties [due to the unpredictability of knowing which teams would be at the tournament]. I don't think that a lot of us have witnessed a worse penalty shootout [than the one between England and Sweden in the quarterfinal]. It's happened on the men's side. And look, it happens to the best of us, missing penalties. But for me, reading what the Swedish coach had said, it didn't seem like there was much preparation that was going into it. And I was pretty shocked because I felt if it were going into penalties, I thought Sweden was going to have the upper hand in experience because they've been there and done that. Going back to 2023 World Cup [in the round of 16 shootout against the U.S.], they were sharp and they got it done. So I was a bit surprised by that. How did you approach penalties during your career? CL: I just look at our team over the years and how much prep went into penalties. I mean, time and time again, we had crazy crowd noise in the stadium that we were [piping in], and we had competitions against one another, and we'd have scrimmages and we would do penalties after every time we scrimmaged the boys or scrimmaged ourselves. So there was just a lot of preparation that went into it. You have to kind of wonder when multiple players are missing what that does to the psyche of one's mind. You start to get in your head a little bit more, so I think that probably played a bit of a role. But [England right-back] Lucy Bronze at the end there and that particular penalty was just stone-cold. She knew where she was going, and she just put it away. I think some of the other players, maybe the run-ups are a little off. I think people are probably tweaking their penalties from time to time, but that's what I took away from it. What were the biggest penalties that you ever made and missed? CL: We all made ours [in the 2011 World Cup quarterfinal shootout vs. Brazil] and then we had to prepare for another [shootout] in the final against Japan. And I think all of us weren't sure if we should keep our same spot or change our spot, and was the Japanese goalkeeper going to know where we were all going? So there were mind games going on within our heads. [In the final] Shannon Boxx missed hers, and then I step up and I miss mine. And then Tobin [Heath] missed hers [and we lost]. From that instance on, I knew that I had to do more preparation and I had to practice PKs more. I had to be comfortable going any spot. Then I would have to say the 2015 World Cup semifinal vs. Germany and having to make that [was the biggest]. (Lloyd converted a penalty in the 69th minute to score the USWNT's first goal in a 2-0 win.) What are you looking forward to most about Spain vs. England? CL: It's interesting. England really haven't played well. I don't like to use the word luck, but I do feel like they've had some things fall in the right direction for them in order to get it done. But they've also shown such tremendous resiliency and perseverance that I feel like I haven't seen as much from them [in the past]. It almost reminds me of the U.S. over the years. We weren't necessarily the best team or playing the best, but we were somehow finding ways to win and sometimes that's all you need. And then I look at the Spanish side where I feel like they've been playing beautiful football. Yes, Switzerland made it difficult for them in the way that they defended and put them under pressure, and Germany did as well. But I still think those moments of brilliance and individual brilliance – I believe there's a bit of a gap as far as the way Spain play. So it's just going to be really tactically interesting to see what England are going to do. If they're going to take the blueprint from Switzerland and Germany and make things compact and make things difficult for Spain to play. We saw Spain having to play a bit more direct vs. Germany. The way Spain have evolved from 2019 to now is they can beat you in a variety of ways. They can possess the ball, they can play direct, they can hunt you down. I'm just a fan of this final, so I hope that it's a really good game, that it's entertaining, and there are a lot of amazing stars that are going to be on the field playing. What's your Euros final prediction? CL: I find this one really difficult. I think Spain are the clear front-runner and they have been, and I've said that from the beginning [of this tournament]. But as we've seen, on any given day – I mean look at Germany playing down a man for some 100 minutes [in the quarterfinal vs. France] and their performance. I was not high on Germany for the entire tournament up until that point and then what they displayed will be talked about for decades to come. So I am going to go with Spain just given the history and what they've been doing this tournament. I think they have weathered adversity and still found ways to win. I think England look a bit tired and they're all a bit banged up. So I think Spain have the extra edge there. Are Spain and England the two strongest teams in the world? How would a full-strength USWNT team stack up? CL: I do think overall from this tournament that the two best teams are in the final. Doesn't mean that it's the two best teams that have been playing the best football, but when you look at everything and you look at manager Sarina Wiegman, the subs coming off the bench, the way England have been able to pull off some off these wins, that ultimately is what makes teams the best. And Spain, there's no question. If you just look at the way that they play, I think they're above everyone by a pretty decent margin. Yes, the U.S. won the last Olympics and Emma Hayes has done a phenomenal job with this group. I think that they're definitely heading in the right direction. I still think they really haven't been up against the European giants, which would be really interesting to see. [Right now] they may be third or fourth [best team in the world], hovering around there behind Spain and England. But time will tell in that regard.
