2+ week, 3+ day ago (1855+ words) That, however, did not stop Elliott from selling his vision. Forget about the folding chairs. Forget about having no place to eat. Forget about what you thought about Virginia football. This would be a new era. He wholeheartedly believed. So did the players who opted to stay and play for him. Players like Lavel Davis Jr. and D'Sean Perry. Players like Devin Chandler, who transferred in from Wisconsin. A new $80 million, 93,000-square foot football operations center opened last year, with spacious team meeting rooms and a large dining room featuring a chef who worked at a Michelin-rated restaurant in London. The 14,000-square foot weight room is nearly as large as the old 15,000-square foot facility. Displayed prominently as you enter the building are the Nos. 1, 15 and 41 jerseys that belonged to Davis, Chandler and Perry, who were shot and killed on…...

2+ day, 12+ hour ago (649+ words) DOHA -- Formula 1 drivers met with the governing FIA to voice concerns over recent policing of racing rules, although no immediate changes to driver guidelines have been agreed. F1's racing guidelines, agreed upon by drivers and the FIA at last year's Qatar Grand Prix, have led to a series of controversial decisions. Penalties for wheel-to-wheel incidents have been a major talking point of the 2025 season, with drivers regularly frustrated by inconsistency in decisions week to week and in blanket rules sometimes being applied to very different circuits. Drivers have been pushing for changes to the guidelines the FIA use to determine penalties and got the chance to put their concerns to the FIA on Thursday night in Qatar ahead of this year's race. Speaking on Thursday, Grand Prix Drivers' Association chairman and Williams driver Carlos Sainz said: "There is potential to…...

2+ week, 3+ day ago (305+ words) Season 4 has arrived in EA Sports F1 25 and brings something fans have been requesting for a while now: more special liveries. Players will get their hands on four alternate paint schemes in addition to six special driver helmets. Among the liveries up for grabs is a fan-favorite from Red Bull in which Max Verstappen delivered his stellar drive at Suzuka earlier this year. Players must engage with the brand-new Survival Challenge mode to earn those goodies. This game mode puts four drivers right into the action, having them battle it out on track for just two minutes after which the user in last place will be kicked out of the race. This cycle continues until only one car is left on the tarmac to claim victory. The Survival Tokens earned this way can be exchanged for the aforementioned rewards in two…...

3+ day, 5+ hour ago (1059+ words) Here's what you need to know about this high-octane legal battle as it takes the green flag in an Uptown Charlotte courtroom. A pair of race teams -- 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports -- filed an antitrust lawsuit in October 2024, claiming that NASCAR employs monopoly powers to restrict race team revenues and independence. "I did it for the smaller teams as well. It's not just me," Jordan said last year after the suit was filed. "I think everybody should have an opportunity to be successful in any business. My voice is saying that it hasn't been happening." 23XI and Front Row believe that the current way of doing stock car business is preventing teams from reaching their full potential. The two teams believe this is all a violation of antitrust law. But the reality is that all of the above is just the…...

3+ week, 2+ day ago (373+ words) SAO PAULO -- A major storm appears set to hit the Interlagos Formula 1 circuit ahead of Saturday's sprint race, which might have major ramifications on the Sao Paulo Grand Prix schedule. Brazil's National Institute of Meterology has issued an orange alert for storms, predicting heavy rain and high winds on Saturday morning. The inclement weather may extend through the day -- Formula 1 has a sprint race at 11 a.m. local time, before qualifying for Sunday's grand prix at 3 p.m. local time. The FIA confirmed to ESPN that the worst weather is currently estimated to hit the circuit between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m., although a spokesperson was quick to point out that estimate could change overnight. A delay to the sprint race, which championship Lando Norris will start on pole for, could then have an impact on the start time of the one-hour qualifying session. Sunset is at 6.30 p.m. in…...

3+ week, 6+ day ago (434+ words) AVONDALE, Ariz. -- Kyle Larson denied Denny Hamlin his first career championship when a late caution at Phoenix Raceway sent title-deciding finale into overtime. Hamlin was three laps from shedding the label as the greatest NASCAR driver to never win a championship when fellow title contender William Byron got a flat tire and hit the wall to bring out the caution. Hamlin led the field down pit road and got four new tires on his Toyota; Larson only took two tires on his Chevrolet. It meant Larson was fifth for the two-lap sprint to the finish, with Hamlin back in 10th. With so little time to run down Larson, Hamlin came up short with a sixth-place finish as Larson was third. Ryan Blaney, who was eliminated from title contention last week, won the race. It is the second championship for Larson, who…...
