The 40-year-old seven-time world champion, who has gone a Ferrari record 23 races without a podium finish, said he was surprised at his own resilience after enduring the most miserable run of form and results of his Formula One career. "It's been difficult," he said ahead of the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. "Confidence goes up and down, it comes with the territory.

Her husband, Grady, put it in a different perspective: the couple generally stays about 15 days at NFR each year. Over nearly two decades, they've spent roughly 285 days, or more than nine months, in Las Vegas. "We should have bought a timeshare," Lockhart said with a laugh. There are other numbers that Lockhart spends little time thinking about. This year, she came into the NFR ranked sixth in the WPRA Barrel Racing world standings, with just shy of $167,500 earned during the regular season. If Lockhart can pocket $125,175 over the course of this 10-day event, she'll become the first barrel racer in WPRA history to reach $4 million in career earnings. All of that is exciting. And…...

" NASCAR teams went to the sanctioning body in early 2022 asking for an improved revenue model and argued the system at the time was unsustainable, the president of the series testified Thursday in the antitrust case lodged against the top motorsports series in the United States. Steve O'Donnell, named president of NASCAR earlier this year, was at that March meeting when representatives of four teams asked that the negotiating window on a new charter agreement open early because they were fighting for their financial survival. The negotiating window was not supposed to open until July 2023. O'Donnell testified that in that first meeting, four-time series champion Jeff Gordon, now vice chair of Hendrick Motorsports, asked specifically if the Florida-based France family was "open to a new model?" Ben Kennedy, the great-grandson of NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., told Gordon yes. But…...

1+ hour, 26+ min ago (263+ words) Chris Gabehart's future took a sharp turn this week, as the longtime Joe Gibbs Racing figure has officially moved on from the organization. Neither Gabehart nor JGR has commented publicly on the split, but it's widely expected that he'll surface elsewhere in the Cup Series garage for 2026. The strongest rumor currently circulating suggests he's headed to Spire Motorsports in some form of leadership role, though nothing has been announced by the team. Gabehart made his name atop Denny Hamlin's pit box, where the pair became one of the most consistent and successful combinations of the last decade. From 2019 to 2024, they collected 22 victories, including back-to-back Daytona 500s, and they never finished outside the top eight in the standings. JGR shifted his role for 2025, moving him into the Director of Competition position. The change surprised many'including Hamlin'who was reassigned to crew chief Chris…...

1+ hour, 32+ min ago (456+ words) Published - December 05, 2025 05:45 am IST - Abu Dhabi Lando Norris says he won't ask his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri to give up a place to favour him in the three-way Formula 1 title fight with Max Verstappen at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Norris has a 12-point lead over Verstappen going into Sunday's (December 7, 2025) race, with Piastri four points further back. If Verstappen is far ahead of both McLarens, it's possible Piastri could be in a situation where he can't take the title himself but can aid Norris' title bid. If Verstappen wins on Sunday (December 7), a top-three finish would be enough for Norris. "Honestly, I mean I would love it but I don't think I would ask it because it's up to Oscar if he would allow it. I don't think it's necessarily down to me," Norris said, sitting alongside Piastri…...
