Jamie McMurray Proves NASCAR Drivers Are Athletes, Once And For All
Share this: The notion that NASCAR drivers should be considered “real” athletes often is met with a chorus of laughter — which is extremely unfair. Don’t believe us? Let Chip Ganassi Racing driver Jamie McMurray hit you with some truth: From a logistical and competitive standpoint, a NASCAR race and a cycling race have virtually nothing in common. But as McMurray shows here, the physical tolls these events take on the human body are eerily similar. Temperature and heart-rate statistics aren’t the only evidence you need to know that NASCAR is filled with great athletes.

Targets acquired: ciao from the Mugello Press Conference
The start to 2017 has been a different story for Moto2™ title leader Franco Morbidelli, with four wins out of five so far and now his first home race of the season. Characteristically relaxed, the Italian knows he’ll be facing down some extremely tough rivals – but also thought the same of Le Mans: “We’ve made a great start to the year, and I’m really happy about that. Couldn’t ask for any better, maybe just to not crash in Jerez but you always make some mistakes. Now here is a track where I’ve never been fast before, so here it’s important to be fast. It was a good feeling to win in Le Mans, I wasn’t expecting it. I was
Marquez says "feeling more consistent" with new tyre
Marc Marquez: "We were preparing to leave for Montmeló for a one-day test last week when we received the terrible news of Nicky’s passing. He was a great rider and an incredible person. I remember once, when I was a kid of 15 at the very beginning of my career in the world championship and he was the MotoGP World Champion: We took part in an event together and my English was very poor, so he tried to speak Spanish and he was very funny and easy-going, treating me as if I was his little brother. And then we shared the garage last year in Australia and had a great party together after the race. Like his amazing family, he
Boss Bosz on playing the Ajax way
Peter Bosz never played for Ajax, but their great sides of the 1970s and 1980s had a huge influence on the 53-year-old and he was determined to stick to their principles when he took charge of the club last summer. As he prepares to lead Ajax against Manchester United in Wednesday's UEFA Europa League final, he talked through his coaching ethos.The Ajax sides of the 1970s and 1980s were a great influence on me. That was the time when Rinus Michels and Johan Cruyff were at Ajax, and it was fantastic, very attractive football, which we all enjoyed watching. That really influenced the way I
Celtics Notes: Isaiah Thomas, Boston Embracing Game 7 Challenge Vs. Wizards
Share this: The Boston Celtics were this close to winning Friday night’s Game 6 and advancing to the Eastern Conference finals, but John Wall and the Washington Wizards made sure there would be a Game 7 on Monday night. But despite the heartbreaking way the game ended for the C’s, they already were anticipating the opportunity ahead following the Wizards’ 92-91 win at Verizon Center. “That’s where all the great players make their name,” point guard Isaiah Thomas told reporters after the game, as transcribed by ESPN’s Chris Forsberg. “You gotta give it everything you’ve got. I guess, where legends are born. I’m excited. We couldn’t take care of business tonight, an unbelievable shot by John Wall. To have Game 7 back in Boston in
