MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) — Kyle Larson never thought he would tame the half-mile, paperclip-shaped track at Martinsville Speedway.And then came Sunday.Larson passed Joey Logano with 29 laps to go and went on to win his second Cup Series race of the season on a day when NASCAR welcomed back Chase Elliott.It was the 21st career Cup Series win for Larson and 15th in the last three seasons for the 2021 Cup champion.Larson has struggled mightily at Martinsville in the past.In his previous 17 races here, he had only three top-five finishes and never finished better than third.“I never, ever would have thought I would have won here,” Larson said. “This place has been so tough on me and just does not suit my driving style at all. … I just can’t believe it.”Because of his lack of past success at the track, Larson joked that he doesn’t have room picked out for where to keep the 6-foot tall grandfather clock awarded to the winner.Larson said the clock immediately becomes one of...

Kyle Kirkwood wins Long Beach for 1st career IndyCar victory

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:32:43 GMT

LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) — As Kyle Kirkwood crossed the finish line for his first career IndyCar win, his new race strategist urged him to soak up the sights and sounds of victory. It nearly brought the 24-year-old to tears. “A first win, it’s a big deal for any driver. I guarantee even Mario Andretti, all the wins he’s had, he still remembers the first one,” said Bryan Herta, who was moved to Kirkwood’s strategist one race ago. “This is just as important milestone because it’s one thing to be a guy who people think can win in IndyCar. It’s something else to be somebody who has won in IndyCar.” Kirkwood held off teammate Romain Grosjean on the downtown streets of Long Beach to give Andretti Autosport a 1-2 finish Sunday at the most prestigious street course race in the United States. Coincidentally, team owner Michael Andretti scored his first career win at Long Beach in 1986 and Mario Andretti won three IndyCar races at Long Beach and in 1977 became the only American dri...

Las fechas de caducidad en la caja de galletas o el tarro de mantequilla de maní en su despensa pueden no parecer gran cosa, pero ¿es lo mismo cierto para los medicamentos en los gabinetes de su baño?Es probable que haya usado champú o protector solar días, o incluso meses, más allá de sus fechas de vencimiento y probablemente esté bien. Pero es una historia diferente para los medicamentos, dice Erin Burton, gerente de farmacia de CVS Health.“Es importante verificar las fechas de vencimiento de los medicamentos porque una vez que pasamos esa fecha, se vuelven menos efectivos”, le dice Burton a CNBC Make It.Dependiendo de lo que esté tratando, tomar medicamentos ineficaces o menos efectivos puede ser dañino, agrega. “No querrás estar tomando un medicamento que no te está ayudando con la enfermedad que estás tratando de tratar”, especialmente si se trata de una afección grave.El resultado final: “La gente realmente necesita seguir lo que está impreso en l...

EPL race tightens after latest Arsenal stumble; Man Utd 3rd

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:32:43 GMT

NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) — Another week, another Arsenal stumble.Mikel Arteta has a job on his hands to keep his team’s title challenge on track.It was a case of history repeating itself as the Premier League leaders let another two-goal lead slip and dropped valuable points for the second week in a row. A 2-2 draw with West Ham on Sunday followed the same score line against Liverpool seven days earlier. It’s a costly habit to pick up, especially at a time when the wins are rolling in for second-place Manchester City.While it all appears to be so easy for defending champion City, which recorded a 10th straight victory in all competitions by beating Leicester 3-1 on Saturday, Arsenal’s form is wobbling. As if back-to-back draws weren’t bad enough for Arteta, it is the nature of his team’s mini-meltdowns against Liverpool and West Ham that will be of most concern. On both occasions Arsenal was cruising. But at the London Stadium, just like at Anfield, the Londo...
