Redemption for Justin Allgaier in dominant NASCAR Xfinity win at Nashville
Allgaier led 101 of 188 laps, putting a difficult loss at Charlotte behind him. He was leading late in that race just one week ago, but went against his crew chief and chose to stay out on older tires in a decision that proved costly.

The Haas Factory Team duo of Sam Mayer and Sheldon Creed finished third and fourth, respectively. Newly crowned Coke 600 winner Ross Chastain made a late-race pass on Aric Almirola to take the final spot inside the top five. Almirola, Austin Hill, Jesse Love, Daniel Dye, and Carson Kvapil filled out the remainder of the top ten.
The final stage began with a restart stack-up that saw several cars go spinning. Brandon Jones, Christian Eckes, Ryan Ellis, Josh Williams, Kyle Sieg, and Anthony Alfredo with both Eckes and Elliss suffering race-ending damage.
Things got back underway following a lengthy cleanup with Creed in control, but not for long as Zilisch ran him down. After packing some air on the left rear of the No. 00 Ford, he powered into the race lead.

Zilisch's time out front was short-lived as a caution for polesitter William Sawalich spinning down the backstretch brought the field back together. On pit road, Jones won the race off as he did not take tires, having already used his final set following the previously mentioned restart incident.
Allgaier made a bold three-wide move for the lead, snatching the lead away in what would be the winning pass. Zilisch stayed close for most of the final run, but he never managed to mount a real challenge.

NFL preseason live updates: Caleb Williams debuts under head coach Ben Johnson, Tyler Shough starts for Saints
[NFL preseason schedule | NFL team feeds | NFL preseason live blog] The second week of NFL preseason action is in full swing, and there are plenty of storylines to follow. Caleb Williams is starting for the Bears on national television Sunday night vs. the Bills, our first glimpse of the 2024 No. 1 overall draft pick under new head coach Ben Johnson. That game headlines Frank Schwab's top QB situations to watch this week. Later, Tyler Shough gets the start for the Saints as he competes with Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener for QB1 in New Orleans. He threw for 165 yards on 15-of-22 passing in the Saints' preseason opener. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] On Saturday, Giants rookie Jaxson Dart put up another impressive preseason performance coming off his gem last week against the Bills. On Saturday against the Jets, he completed 14 of 16 passes for 137 yards and a touchdown to go along with a TD run. Could starting QB Russell Wilson be hearing footsteps? Rookie Dillon Gabriel saw his first action of preseason Saturday, and it was an up-and-down day for the third-round pick. He finished 13-of-18 for 143 yards passing but also turned it over twice. He thew a pick 6 and also lost a fumble on a botched handoff exchange. He was otherwise solid and in control in the passing game. Fellow rookie QB Shedeur Sanders sat out due to an oblique injury. Much will be made in the coming days, especially on the talking heads shows, about his in-game comments of the QB competition he's in with Sanders. Gabriel later clarified he was referring to the media, not Sanders. Elsewhere in the QB world, the Colts battle for the starting job continues to heat up, with Daniel Jones ending up 7 of 11 passes for 101 yards while Anthony Richardson competed 6 of 11 passes for 73 yards. Those two appear to be neck-and-neck for the starting job, and head coach Shane Steichen told reporters he plans to decide the starter "very soon."

Detroit Tigers recall Brenan Hanifee after minimum stay in Triple-A; Brant Hurter sent down
MINNEAPOLIS — Right-handed reliever Brenan Hanifee has returned to the Detroit Tigers, immediately following the minimum 15-day stay in Triple-A Toledo. The Tigers optioned Hanifee to the Mud Hens on Aug. 2, creating space on the roster for three new pitchers acquired at the July 31 trade deadline. By rule, Hanifee had to stay at the Triple-A level for 15 days. WHY DID HE LEAVE? Why Tigers' bullpen move backfired in puzzling Scott Harris roster decision The Tigers recalled Hanifee before the finale of a four-game series Sunday, Aug. 17, against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. To open a roster spot, the Tigers optioned left-handed reliever Brant Hurter to Triple-A Toledo. Hanifee, 27, has been one of the Tigers' best relievers this season, registering a 3.10 EA with 12 walks and 35 strikeouts across 52⅓ innings in 46 games.
