IndyCar expert picks, predictions for St. Louis
From Nathan Brown, IndyStar
We're seven races into a 17-race season, and two drivers have taken checkered flags. Can a third driver enjoy the spoils? For this exercise, Alex Palou and Kyle Kirkwood are out of the equation.

Who is most likely to earn his first win of the season?: I'll take the driver who's taken pole here each of the last two years and who in five starts in his career at the track is yet to finish outside the top-5: Scott McLaughlin. The Team Penske driver won twice on short ovals a year ago and finished runner-up at WWTR, too. It's been a rollercoaster of a year for McLaughlin, but I think he settles things a bit on Sunday.
Something you don't see coming: Alex Palou will have another hiccup and finish outside the top-5, opening the door for his closest competitors in the championship race to chip away at his 90-point lead.

3 Takeaways from Colts training camp practice No. 8: Ups and downs for the quarterbacks
Following training camp practice No. 8 for the Colts, here are three takeaways, which includes an up and down day for the QBs. The Indianapolis Colts have wrapped up their eighth practice of training camp and their first since Thursday evening's practice under the lights. With help from those who were in attendance at Grant Park, let's highlight three takeaways from what took place on Saturday. Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones took their lumps in the red zone Both quarterbacks have put together some strong showings as of late, with Richardson in particular coming off a very impressive performance on Thursday. However, in the red zone on Saturday, where much of the practice was focused, both Jones and Richardson took their lumps. According to ESPN's Stephen Holder, Richardson and Jones would each throw two interceptions in the red area. Jake Athur of Horseshoe Huddle would add that Richardson "was late on many of his throws," adding that he was just 3-of-10 passing in 11-on-11s. Arthur would then call Jones' performance a "mixed bag," with two interceptions and included him completing 10 of his 14 throws in 11-on-11s. Offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter provided some added context around the red zone period, mentioning that red zone work in practice will often favor the defense. "Dropback passing practice is always a little bit of a high-leverage situation for a quarterback," Cooter said. "You drop back 12 straight times in 7-on-7, the defense sort of squeezes those zones, the man coverage is tighter, we're trying new plays. "So, red zone practices, when you sort them out at the end of the year, they don't always end up being your highest production practices. But we do get a lot out of them." AD Mitchell continues to build momentum It was a rough first week of training camp practices for Mitchell, which included several drops. However, over the last few practices, including on Saturday, Mitchell has been finding that consistency. Arthur would write in his post-practice takeaways that Mitchell has put together an "outstanding" week of practices, adding that he looks "much more comfortable," which is resulting in Mitchell making big plays. After practice, Mitchell acknowledged that at the start of training camp, his hands "weren't working," according to Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan. However, since then, his hands have been terrific. Since Mitchell arrived in Indianapolis, his ability to create separation has been clear as day. What's been missing is the consistency but he appears to be finding that crucial element. "Now we in Year 2 now, and I just feel more comfortable," Mitchell said after practice via the Indy Star. Whether it's in the meeting rooms, walkthroughs. I'm not focused on what the play is, what do I have to do? I'm focused on how I'm doing it and why I'm doing it, and what I'm doing." The kicker competition is taking shape It's an "open competition" for the Colts' kicker job between Spencer Shrader and Maddux Trujillo. In the early going, this battle appears to be taking shape, with Shrader having the advantage. After Saturday's practice, special teams coordinator mentioned that Shrader has made 87% of his field goal attempts in training camp while Trujillo has made 74%. Mason is tracking and charting how each kicker performs during individual periods, team periods, along with the upcoming joint practices and preseason games. The latter environments will carry more weight when it comes to making this decision, which gives Trujillo time to close the gap, but for now, the undrafted rookie will be playing catch-up.

'They are a nationally known consumer brand that will resonate with fans, and we are excited to collaborate on immersive race experiences for their members. 'Kyle and the Andretti team are bringing great energy to this opportunity, and we look forward to driving results for Sam's Club with this new sponsorship.'

Kirkwood will debut the No. 27 Sam's Club Honda on track at Nashville Superspeedway August 30-31 with hopes of securing his second career IndyCar oval victory. 'I'm extremely excited to have Sam's Club on board for the IndyCar season finale in Nashville,' Kirkwood said. 'It's amazing to have such a well-known, national brand join the team, and we're excited to show them what the Andretti IndyCar program is all about.

3 reasons the Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid is in a lane of its own
Are we living in the golden age of three-row SUVs? Brands like Toyota, Kia, Jeep, Hyundai, and more are producing competitive three-row SUV models. Recent advancements in hybrid tech have made these SUVs even more appealing because they can transport a large number of passengers without burning as much fuel as non-hybrid models. Though many three-row SUVs have strong value propositions, one Japanese model stands out from the pack: the Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid. USA TODAY put this three-row hybrid SUV to the test to see if it's as value-packed in the real world as it is on paper. Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid's fuel economy is fantastic for its segment It's no secret that Japanese automaker Toyota has one of the best hybrid portfolios on the market. The brand has come a long way from its first mass-production hybrid, the Toyota Prius. Today, Toyota produces attractive hybrid cars, trucks and SUVs, utilizing the tech to provide power output boosts and conserve fuel for American drivers. The Grand Highlander Hybrid is no exception, bringing the best of Toyota hybrid tech to a nameplate that's practical for a large group of passengers. The base model Grand Highlander Hybrid LE earns an estimated 34 miles per gallon combined (with standard all-wheel drive). This is astounding for such a large all-wheel drive SUV. For context, the two-row Honda Passport midsize SUV achieves just 21 miles per gallon combined despite having less seating capacity. USA TODAY tested the Grand Highlander Hybrid MAX Platinum trim, which is more powerful and earns 27 miles per gallon combined. The three-row SUV's standard regenerative braking kept adding miles to the total driving range on a lengthy road trip during testing. One of the biggest issues with driving a larger vehicle (with lots of seats) is fuel costs. The Grand Highlander Hybrid MAX was affordable to refuel and it savored gas like a fine wine on the highway. Toyota's midsize three-row hybrid SUV won't break the bank Another issue that many American car buyers have with larger SUV models is pricing. Inflation and rising new car prices exacerbate this issue for many brands that produce three-row SUVs. The Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid provides the practicality of a three-row SUV with a unique hybrid powertrain setup without breaking the bank. The 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid starts at $44,210 with the base model Hybrid LE trim. The average new vehicle price in June was $51,124, according to automotive research company Cox Automotive. American car buyers can get either the base model Grand Highlander Hybrid LE or the Hybrid XLE ($45,380) with more features for less than the average new car price. Additionally, a study by found the Highlander Hybrid to be one of the longest-lasting cars. If the same holds true for the Highlander Hybrid-based Grand Highlander Hybrid, then the midsize three-row SUV has a strong long-term value proposition. 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid: Plenty of cabin, cargo space Toyota designed the Grand Highlander Hybrid's second and third rows of seats to be easily maneuverable, which is important for passenger comfort. The second row of seats can slide forward and bend, so hopping into the rear row of seats is a breeze. The third row of seats can be folded down completely for maximum cargo space. So, whether you need the most seating space possible or cargo space possible, adjustments can be made easily. The Grand Highlander Hybrid can comfortably seat seven. Drivers can choose to add a second-row bench seat for a total seating capacity of eight, leaving 20.6 cubic feet of cargo space. It has 57.9 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded. During testing, the Grand Highlander Hybrid's cargo area held four large beach chairs, a beach umbrella, a cooler and multiple backpacks. The Grand Highlander Hybrid is truly carving out a lane of its own due to its fuel efficiency, affordability, and size. It's one of the most attractive new SUV deals on the market for families.
