Share this: If you haven’t watched a NASCAR race lately, you could be missing the emergence of a legend in the making. Kyle Larson is that good. And it’s not just fans, media and other observers with a vested interest in finding a new superstar for a sport with flagging TV ratings who are saying so. In this case, it’s a fellow driver, former Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick, paying Larson one of the highest compliments possible. “Kyle Larson is the best driver to come into this sport since Jeff Gordon, in my opinion,” Harvick said on his show “Happy Hours” on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. “I think Kyle Larson is that good. He’s just a kid not enough people know about, but

Redding starts up 2017 in seventh
SR45, P7: “I’m really happy. I had a good race especially after the difficulties of the warm up. I got off a good start but I had to close the throttle due to Zarco’s dangerous move which cost me a lot. In the second part of the race I was lapping well even though I was not able to take the first Independent award. I would have been happy to make the Top 10 so this is a good result and I want thank the team for the work done and for always believing in me. See you in Argentina!” Source link
Folger and Zarco impress in #QatarTest
Johann Zarco, P9: "The final day of the test went really well for me and I am excited about returning to the track soon for the start of my rookie season in the premier class. Today I completed a race simulation, which was important because it allowed me to gain valuable knowledge about how the bike’s behaviour changes over 22 laps. Even though I may not have been super fast, the experience was the most significant thing and I was consistent with my times also. My confidence improved throughout the three days, which I am really happy about, and today I made the most of the soft tyre by setting a solid lap time and ending up in a good
David Price Takes Step Forward, Throws For First Time Since Elbow Injury
Share this: The Boston Red Sox seemingly were in panic mode on March 2 when starter David Price was suffering elbow and forearm soreness and needed a second opinion. But the lefty has been receiving only good news since. Price was given a prognosis of seven to 10 days of rest and medication instead of needing surgery, but the 31-year-old insisted he would take his time if he didn’t feel 100 percent. Red Sox manager John Farrell gave Price the all clear Wednesday to attempt to throw Friday or Saturday if he felt good enough, but the team still wasn’t sure that would happen. But Price did pick up the baseball Saturday and took the first step in his rehab process. Well, the southpaw threw the ball
McPhee in the mix on Day 2
After a solid opening day that saw John McPhee take ninth on the overall timesheets, Day 2 was another good day at work for the British Talent Team rider as 57 laps throughout the three available sessions saw the Scot secure twelfth overall with a best of 1:47.025, set during the morning.Jeremy McWilliams was again present at the track in his role as British Talent Scout for the British Talent Team and the British Talent Cup, positive about the progress and direction taken so far. Conditions were sunny and warm once again in Andalucia, with good conditions for the lightweight class to continue their push towards the start of the season. As on Day 1, the British Talent Team focus was
Pessimistic Titans Fan Gets Oddly Specific 2017 Title Prediction Tattoo
Share this: It’s never a good look when sports fans get tattoos that prematurely celebrate their favorite team’s championship win, but one Tennessee Titans fan might have gotten the worst one. And it’s not even a Super Bowl tattoo. Yup, that is a tattoo celebrating a division title, for some reason. That’s akin to when the Indianapolis Colts, who also play in the AFC South, hung a 2014 AFC finalist banner after being steamrolled by the New England Patriots in that season’s AFC Championship Game. This guy might win some points, though, based on the fact that his tattoo actually has a decent chance of coming true. The AFC South was easily the worst division in the NFL last season, and the Titans nearly
Celtics Notes: Al Horford Shows How Valuable He Is In Win Over Cavaliers
Share this: BOSTON — If you looked at Al Horford’s stat line at halftime Wednesday, you probably would have guessed he was on his way to a fifth straight game of scoring under 10 points. That ended up being true in the Boston Celtics’ 103-99 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at TD Garden, but it doesn’t tell the whole story of what Horford did in arguably the C’s biggest win of the season. Not even close. Horford finished the game with nine points, but seven of those came in the second half, and he was only one point shy of a triple-double with his 10 total rebounds and 10 assists. Oh, and don’t forget his stellar defense on Tristan Thompson and the Cavaliers throughout the night. “Even at
