$1 million In-Season Challenge prize sets up the Brickyard 400 for split-screen racing
Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Brickyard 400 viewers will be tuning into pure split-screen racing Sunday. On one side, they'll monitor whether Kyle Larson can defend his Brickyard 400 title or if Denny Hamlin can charge from the back of the field to become the fifth driver to complete a career sweep of the Cup's four crown jewel races. On the other side, they'll see whether Ty Gibbs or Ty Dillon or collects the $1 million prize that goes to the first In-Season Challenge champion. And, fittingly, this March Madness-like tournament concludes on one of the sport's grand stages — Indianapolis Motor Speedway's historic 2.5-mile oval. It's a made-for-television moment. 'This is going to be a special moment no matter what happens,' Dillon said before qualifying started Saturday. 'I do, ultimately, want to win in the Cup series, and I hope (winning) feels as great as these five weeks have. I don't know how to compare it because it's the first time anybody has really gone through this round by round.' The concept comes straight out of Indiana's other favorite sport, basketball. Series officials wanted a solution for the series' midsummer blues and chose a combination of the NBA's In-Season Tournament and college basketball's single-elimination NCAA Tournament. Race results at Michigan, Mexico City and Pocono set up a 32-driver field. Head-to-head results in Chicago eliminated 16 drivers, which was down to the Elite Eight after Sonoma. Gibbs and Dillon advanced from last week's Final Four and now they are here in Indy, getting as much attention Larson, Hamlin and the array of other big-name drivers. Larson and Hamlin spoke with reporters Friday. Gibbs and Dillon waited until just before a brief, rescheduled practice session took place at Indy. 'This is race car country is what we would call it, so being able to race here is an honor,' Gibbs said. 'The main goal, of course, is to go win the race and we're going to do everything we can to put ourselves in position to do that, and maybe if we don't do that, try to finish as best we can and if that's better than (Dillon), we'll take it.' The championship looks like a classic between Dillon, a 12-year veteran who is winless in 266 career Cup starts, and Gibbs, the 2022 Xfinity Series winner in his third full Cup season and the grandson of three-time Super Bowl champion and team owner Joe Gibbs. Like so many NCAA Tournament brackets, the bracket results defied expectations. Gibbs went into the five-race challenge seeded No. 6. Dillon took on the role of Cinderella after starting No. 32. And Gibbs has an edge after qualifying fifth. Dillon starts 26th. Along the way some of the favorites such as Hamlin, William Byron, Chase Briscoe and Kyle Larson fell out. Hamlin, who is seeking his first Brickyard win in 17 starts, first introduced the notion of a tournament on his 'Actions Detrimental' podcast and gave the series good marks for how it's played out. 'I think you get more buy-in from drivers if, you know, they're financially motivated,' said Hamlin, who lost to Dillon in the first round. 'I know a lot of people kind of played it off this year, but everyone knew about it, everyone knew who they had to beat. Everyone did care about it. I feel like it was implemented fairly well this year." Hamlin faces an even bigger hurdle after crashing hard in qualifying. He'll start 39th after Chase Briscoe claimed the pole. Now the question becomes who will take home the big prize? While Gibbs is trying to race his way into the playoffs and Dillon continues to chase his first Cup win, the two drivers also will be paying attention to the race inside Sunday's race. And so will the fans. 'It feels like the last three or four weeks, I've done enough media and talked to enough people and had fan growth like I've never seen before, that felt like I had won the last three weeks,' Dillon said. 'So it's a weird conundrum. It's not a win, but it has felt so special to be a part of.' Bubba's story When Bubba Wallace drove the No. 23 car onto the track for his qualifying run Saturday, he didn't have any expectations. When he climbed out of the car, he had the provisional pole and it stayed there — until Briscoe's late attempt. And while Wallace will start on the front row, he wasn't satisfied with how it played out. 'It's a weird feeling right now,' Wallace said. 'I had no idea what kind of lap I put together and obviously, man, so close. You know no one wants to finish second in motorsports or whatever it is. I sure don't want to. So if it's qualifying, it's a little kick in the groin but aside from that, a pretty good day.' Family celebration Briscoe's pole-winning run was the second leg of a celebratory weekend for his family, which still calls Mitchell, Indiana, home. That's about 85 miles southwest of Indy. The first part came Friday when Briscoe's sister got married. And Briscoe has a chance to complete the third leg by winning his first Brickyard title. But he's also wary about a potential sibling rivalry. 'I would love to cap it off with the Brickyard 400, but I'm sure my sister would be mad if I went and kind of topped the wedding,' Briscoe said. 'But, yeah, it's been a fun week to come up here and get to do all the things we've done.' Double duty After qualifying 38th for Sunday's race, Katherine Legge took a short break before jumping in her car for the start of the Xfinity race. The longtime IndyCar driver is doing double duty this weekend on a track she knows well. Legge has started four Indianapolis 500s, most recently in 2024. This season, she's made six starts on the stock car circuit — two in the Xfinity Series and four, so far, in the Cup Series. And on Sunday, she'll hit another milestone — becoming the 21st driver to compete in both the Indianapolis 500 and the Brickyard. Odds and ends Shane van Gisbergen will make his first career start on Indy's oval after qualifying 11th. ... Points leader Chase Elliott starts from the No. 30 spot on the grid. ... Despite the qualifying crash, Hamlin remained the betting favorite in Indianapolis with Larson and Briscoe not far behind, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. The trio has just one win on Indy's oval. ___ AP auto racing: recommended Item 1 of 3

Free bike repair event helps women and nonbinary cyclists
A bike repair night in downtown Des Moines is helping women, femme-identifying and nonbinary cyclists learn how to fix and maintain their bikes for free. Why it matters: WTF Night is focused on helping people gain maintenance skills in a sport that is male-dominated. How it works: Twice a month, the Street Collective holds the free repair events, which are run by Kristi Ehlers from Bike World in Urbandale and Becca Corbitt, who works at the Collective. People can drop in without signing up, whether they need help fixing a neglected bike or want to learn how to change a flat. Volunteers work with all types of bikes, from beaters to high-end road models. Reality check: Women face barriers to biking, especially as they enter their teen and adult years. A 2024 report from Strava shows that men generally ride farther and for longer than women because women feel less safe taking bike rides and are less likely to go out in the dark. A study from People for Bikes shows that girls from certain religious or cultural backgrounds may also be less likely to bike, especially if they aren't allowed to wear pants. And while the majority of women say they feel more comfortable riding in a group of the same gender, only 12% end up doing it, per the Strava report. What they're saying: "The more people know, the better," Corbitt says. "It's empowering, and it can be really intimidating to go into an all-male shop and ask questions." The intrigue: One of Corbitt's favorite memories is when a woman brought in an old bike from her late father, unsure whether it could even be saved.

Home-state favorite Chase Elliott passes Brad Keselowski on final lap to win NASCAR Atlanta race
HAMPTON, Ga. -- Home-state favorite Chase Elliott passed Brad Keselowski on the final lap and won the the crash-filled NASCAR Cup Series at Atlanta on Saturday night for his 20th career victory. Elliott, the popular driver from Dawsonville, Georgia, earned a spot in the NASCAR playoffs with his first victory since April 2024 at Texas. It was his first win in Atlanta since 2022. 'I've never in my whole life, this is unbelievable,' Elliott said. 'This is something I'll remember the rest of my life.' Keselowski was second, followed by Elliott's Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet teammate, Alex Bowman, and Tyler Reddick. Bowman helped block Keselowski following Elliott's last-lap pass. 'The 48 and 9 just got together,' Keselowski said, referring to Bowman and Elliott. '... At they end they were able to double-team me.' Elliott climbed into the stands to celebrate with fans after ending a 44-race winless streak. 'I'm happy for the 9 team,' Bowman said. 'It's a big win for him in his hometown. ... I'm glad to have a Hendrick car in victory lane. I wish it was us." The race's second crash early in Stage 2 took out many of the sport's biggest names and left others with damaged cars. Pole-winner Joey Logano, who led the first 36 laps before light rain forced the first caution, was among the many drivers caught up in the big crash. Among others knocked out of the race: William Byron, Austin Cindric, Ross Chastain, Josh Berry, Corey LaJoie and Daniel Suarez. 'It wrecked the whole field,' Logano said. 'I still don't know exactly how it started ... but it was total chaos. Cars were sideways and on the brakes. I got hit from every corner possible.' Added Denny Hamlin, who suffered damage to his Toyota in the crash: 'Some zigged. Some zagged. Most crashed.' The Atlanta race at EchoPark Speedway, formerly known as Atlanta Motor Speedway, was the debut of the 32-driver In-Season Challenge, a five-race, bracket-style tournament. The parade of highly regarded drivers to be knocked out so early in the race showed the perils of trying to pick NASCAR winners on a March Madness-style bracket sheet. The top two seeds were among the early casualties. Hamlin, the No. 1 seed in the tournament, finished 31st and lost to Ty Dillon, who finished eighth. Chase Briscoe, who held off Hamlin for his first win for Joe Gibbs Racing last week at Pocono Raceway, was the No. 2 seed before being knocked out in a crash and losing to Noah Gragson in the tournament. A $1 million prize awaits the winner as part of a new media rights deal that includes TNT. Elliott and Keselowski were on the front row when a caution with 33 laps to go forced a decision on whether to pit for fresh tires. Both stayed on the track and Elliott faded following the restart until making his decisive charge at the very end. Ryan Blaney, the race favorite according to BetMGM Sportsbook, was knocked out on a wreck late in the first stage. Christopher Bell hit the wall, triggering the crash that ended the stage with Cindric in the lead. Cindric was involved in the bigger crash early in Stage 2. Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin and Bubba Wallace were among others involved in the crash. Tyler Reddick beat Elliott to the finish line by .001 seconds to win Stage 2 in a battle between drivers looking for both their first stage win and overall win of the season. Lightning and rain delayed qualifying Friday and the Xfinity race won by Nick Sanchez late Friday night. More lightning and rain threatened Saturday night's race. Fans were encouraged to leave the stands about 90 minutes before the race due to severe weather in the area but were allowed to return as pre-race were conducted as planned.
