Kyle Kirkwood talks about big IndyCar victory in Detroit in 2025
Kyle Kirkwood talks about big IndyCar victory in Detroit in 2025 Kyle Kirkwood's mistake in qualifying cost him the pole position for the 2025 Detroit Grand Prix, but he made up for it on Sunday afternoon. Kirkwood and the No. 27 team for Andretti Global won the 2025 Detroit Grand Prix in dominant fashion, earning their second victory of the IndyCar season. The Andretti Global driver had the best race car and was able to pull away from Santino Ferrucci and Colton Herta after the red flag for Felix Rosenqvist and Louis Foster. Following the event, Kirkwood spoke to and talked about his big victory on the streets of Detroit in 2025. 'For some reason, the wing was damaged, but it wasn't really causing that much of an issue,' Kirkwood said to 'This AWS Honda was on rails all weekend long. There were some challenges out there, that's for sure. We had to pass our way back through a handful of times, and it was definitely not a walk in the park, especially with that front-wing damage at the end. We did lose a little bit of performance, but the car actually felt fine. Epic pit stops. Epic strategy. We were definitely the fastest.' Kirkwood's victory was even sweeter after failing post-race inspection for the 2025 Indianapolis 500, putting him deeper in the point standings. The driver of the No. 27 car is the only driver to win a race outside of championship leader Alex Palou, and he hopes his victory in Detroit can lead to more success soon.

Beyond acceptable limits: Iraq's noise levels threaten mental health
Shafaq News/ Iraq is facing a growing public health threat from noise pollution, according to Samim Salam, head of the Al-Furat Environmental Center, who on Thursday called for urgent collective action to reduce harmful noise levels across the country. Speaking to Shafaq News, Salam identified multiple sources of noise pollution in Iraq, including transportation (cars, trucks, motorcycles), industrial activities (factories, heavy machinery), construction work (drilling and demolition), aviation (helicopters and jet engines), and even domestic appliances such as vacuum cleaners and washing machines. Quoting guidelines from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Salam noted that acceptable noise levels range from 30–40 decibels in educational institutions, 40–60 dB in residential areas, and above 60 dB in industrial zones—with many Iraqi environments exceeding these limits, putting people at risk. He emphasized the serious health effects of long-term exposure to noise, including hearing loss, stress, anxiety, and sleep disturbances, all of which negatively impact mental health and performance at work or school. To combat the issue, Salam urged several measures, such as using personal protective equipment (earplugs or noise-canceling headphones), and enforcing public noise regulations. He referenced Article 16 of Iraq's Environmental Protection Law No. 27 of 2009, which mandates the identification of noise sources and calls for preventive action to safeguard public health. He also stressed the importance of urban design in reducing noise, such as developing green spaces, and raising public awareness about the dangers of noise exposure. 'Fighting noise pollution is vital for protecting public health and improving quality of life,' Salam said, adding that success requires joint efforts from individuals, communities, and authorities, including accessible reporting tools like complaint hotlines. 'This approach strengthens environmental responsibility and lays the foundation for sustainable change,' he concluded.

Darryl Sittler's 10-point game Maple Leafs sweater from 1976 up for auction
Article content The whereabouts of the sweater was a decades-old mystery, even to Sittler, until American sports sweater collector Barry Meisel obtained it unexpectedly in a bulk purchase in 2018. Taking it to the Hockey Hall of Fame resource centre in Toronto, matching the slightly crooked stem of the Harold Ballard-era Leafs logo and certain stains and loose shoulder threads from action photos of Sittler in the game, it was authenticated. Sittler told the Sun in 2018 he didn't ask to keep the white-base, blue-trim No. 27 jersey with the captain's 'C' that year, as such items weren't as desirable like today's memorabilia market. He said it was plausible Ballard had gifted or sold it to a friend and congratulated Meisel on his detective work, adding he wouldn't bid, with the price expected to get well into six figures. From a starting price of $10,000 US on Tuesday morning, the sweater was up to $50,549 by early afternoon with bidding on the company's web site open until June 2. Sittler told the Sun on Monday he hadn't known it was now up for auction.

NASCAR Xfinity Race at Bristol Under Red Flag After Vicious High Impact Crash in Stage One
Near the end of the opening stage of the Sciaps 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway, Sheldon Creed spun out on the exit of turn four and stopped perpendicular to the racing lines between middle and high lines. The No. 14 of Greg Van Alst was able to narrowly avoid him, but in doing so was the visual block for the No. 44 of Brennan Poole, who didn't have the time to react at the fast half-mile track, turning slightly but hitting the driver's side of the No. 00 about a quarter from head-on. Creed was running around 16th when the collision occurred, as he was trying to mirror the moves of the leader, Kyle Larson, who had already started to lap the field up to the 14th spot. When he missed the exit of turn four and spun. The collision ripped the side walls off of Creed's car and dislodged one of his front wheels. "I feel fine, it knocked the air out of me there for a second," Creed told The CW Sports Kim Coon. "The No. 27 was the lucky dog there at the moment, and he was doing a good job of holding on to that. I was just trying to play with things and was fairly free at the moment, just trying to search. I'd see [Larson] diamond when he was lapping us, and I feel like it worked fairly well, so I went and tried to start working that into my line. I was just trying to work around the No. 27." Creed didn't know he would get hit by Poole until it happened. Van Alst narrowly missed him moments before, leading him to briefly think that even though he was mirrored in the middle of the track, he may be safe. "When the first guy missed me, I was like 'oh I might not get hit at all' but then, yeah, got hit," Creed said. "It just happens so quickly here. For Brenden's sake, it happens so quickly and I was sitting right there in the middle of the track."
