IndyCar expert picks, predictions for Mid-Ohio
From Nathan Brown, IndyStar
We're in the back half of a 17-race season, and Palou and Kirkwood are the only drivers to take checkered flags.

Who gets a much-needed podium finish? Marcus Ericsson. Of all the drivers in the field sorely in need of a pick-me-up, the fact that Ericsson sits 21st in points just a single top-10 is one of the year's biggest headscratchers. And yet, he heads to a track where he's finished in the top 6 in 4 of his last 5 starts, and where he started and finished 5th a year ago. He's finished on the podium here before (2021, runner-up), and this is a track where Andretti Global has shown speed in years past.
What is something no one sees coming? Amazingly, we finally get our third winner of the year in Colton Herta. He has only done that in two of his last 10 pole starts. It will be his 10th career victory and Andretti Global's fourth of the year, its most since 2018.

Tesla stock tanks after Trump dismisses Musk's new political party plan and calls him ‘off the rails'
Shares in Tesla tanked by as much as 7.6% in premarket trading Monday after its CEO Elon Musk said he is forming a new American political party, provoking an irate response from US President Donald Trump. Tesla stock (TSLA) later recovered some of its earlier losses but was still 6.5% down by 7:48 a.m. ET. 'I'm saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely 'off the rails,' essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks,' Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform late Sunday, also mentioning Musk's Saturday announcement that he is forming a political party to rival the main Republican and Democratic parties. Ahead of boarding Air Force One in New Jersey Sunday, Trump also called Musk's announcement 'ridiculous' and said it would sow confusion. Neil Wilson, a strategist at UK trading platform Saxo Markets, said Monday that Tesla investors were concerned on two fronts: firstly, that further friction between Musk and Trump would lead to additional cuts to US government EV subsidies and, secondly, that Musk appeared 'distracted.' 'Investors had cheered Musk stepping back from frontline politics but are now worried he's going to (be) sucked back in and take his eye off Tesla,' Wilson wrote in a note. Trump and Musk began trading barbs in early June after the Tesla CEO criticized Trump's so-called 'Big, Beautiful Bill' — a massive tax and domestic policy bill, which the president signed into law last week. Musk has argued that the policies will add trillions of dollars to the federal budget deficit. 'When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy,' Musk said on his social media platform, X, Saturday. 'Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.' Trump, in his Sunday post, said third political parties 'have never succeeded in the United States' and that 'the one thing (they) are good for is the creation of Complete and Total DISRUPTION & CHAOS.' Tesla's fortunes have taken a turn in recent months as it has grappled with intensifying competition from rival EV makers and the fallout from Musk's foray into US politics. Last week, the company reported a record fall in second-quarter sales, selling 13.5% fewer vehicles compared with the same period in 2024. For that year, Tesla has also reported its first-ever annual decline in sales as a public company. The drop was small — around 1% — though it marks a striking turnaround for an automaker historically accustomed to robust sales growth. Notably, Tesla is poised to lose its title as the world's largest EV maker, based on annual sales, to Chinese automaker BYD, even though BYD has not entered the US market. Meanwhile, Musk's recent involvement at the wheel of the US government, helming the Department of Government Efficiency and spearheading mass layoffs of federal workers, has, among other controversies, sparked protests outside Tesla's showrooms worldwide. In May, Musk announced he would step down from his government position, raising hopes among investors that he will now have more time to work on his companies, which include SpaceX and X. But the billionaire's feud with Trump, and likely upcoming attempts to woo voters to his new party, have thrust him back into the political arena. The tumult has weighed on Tesla's stock, with the company's shares having shed almost 23% of their value so far this year. CNN's Michael Williams, John Towfighi and Chris Isidore contributed reporting.

Can 'Powerful' Haason Reddick Be Difference Maker For Buccaneers?
Can 'Powerful' Haason Reddick Be Difference Maker For Buccaneers? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season hummed along in the second half of the year with the offense flying, but it was the defense that struggled at times, and in particular, the pass rush. Advertisement With no defender surpassing 7.5 sacks, Tampa Bay knew it needed a premier pass-rusher to join the likes of Calijah Kancey, Vita Vea, Logan Hall, and Yaya Diaby. Enter Haason Reddick. After a four-year stretch where he was one of the most consistent pass rushers in football, Reddick now finds himself in Tampa Bay, and The Athletic thinks the veteran could be quite the addition to Todd Bowles' defense. "Haason Reddick had only one sack last season and skipped some offseason workouts, which led to uncertainty about his ability to impact the defense," The Athletic writes. "But Reddick's presence at minicamp was powerful. Reddick, who had 50 1/2 sacks between 2020 and 2023, hasn't forgotten how to get to the quarterback, even though he had an awful 2024 with the Jets. Advertisement "The expectation on this team is Reddick will have a productive season — and help teammates do the same." Jun 11, 2025; Tampa, FL, USA; Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Haason Reddick (5) talks with media after minicamp at One Buc Place.© Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images Seen as potentially the final piece of the defensive puzzle, Reddick will be playing for a new contract in 2025, having signed only a one-year deal, so motivation will be high. We aren't worried about Baker Mayfield and the offense, but can the defense stiffen up with Reddick, Kancey, and Vea all getting after the quarterback to help protect the secondary? That will be the hope. And if the Reddick who terrorized the NFL from 2020 through to 2023 suits up for the Buccaneers, he might just be the best free-agent addition of the offseason. Advertisement Yes, that's a high bar, but make no mistake, the talent is there, and Bowles and his coaching staff will make sure Haason goes quarterback-hunting in 2025. Related: 'Fearless!'

Stock Movers: Tesla, CoreCivic, Stellantis
On this episode of Stock Movers: - Tesla (TSLA) shares are lower this morning after Elon Musk announced he's formed a new political party, the "America Party." The shares have already declined 22% this year as the CEO's politicking has hurt Tesla's standing with car buyers. Devoting resources and attention to a new political party runs counter to what Musk told Tesla investors during the company's last earnings, in April. - CoreCivic (CXW) shares are rallying on the passage of President Trump's signature tax bill. Shares in Geo Group (GEO) are also rallying in the premarket, with the bill adding billions of dollars for immigrant detention centers. Geo Group and CoreCivic are the two largest detention contractors. On Friday, Trump signed a sweeping budget bill that includes $45 billion for new immigration jails—part of $150 billion in new funding to carry out his immigration and border-control agenda. - Stellantis (STLA) is sliding this morning as Bank of America cuts the automaker to neutral from buy, with the broker expecting to see a 'very weak' first-half report on July 29. While the US appears strong, Stellantis's positioning in Europe looks bad, BofA says. Analyst Horst Schneider says that while Stellantis shares have fallen around 30% year to date and more than 50% since last summer's capital markets day, it is 'too early for 'bottom-fishing,'' - MGM Resorts International (MGM) is lower after Goldman Sachs initiates coverage of MGM Resorts International with a recommendation of sell due to a volatile Las Vegas market, while Caesars Entertainment gets a buy rating. MGM has high-sensitivity to a 'choppy' Las Vegas market and is the most macro-sensitive among Goldman's casino coverage, the bank writes in a note
