Share this: If Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s going to enter victory lane Sunday, he’s going to have to make up a lot of ground. That’s because Earnhardt blew the engine in his No. 88 Axalta Chevrolet at Pocono Raceway on Friday during practice for the Axalta presents the Pocono 400. The No. 88 team was forced to perform an engine swap, which means Earnhardt will start at the rear of the field in Sunday’s race. The incident reportedly occurred after just eight practice laps, and Earnhardt took full responsibility. Update on practice: I blew the motor up. Went into 2nd gear (was aiming for 4th) and grenaded it. Will have to start last Sunday. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. (@DaleJr) June 9, 2017 More about the dead engine.

Kevin Durant Begins To Create Legacy With Fourth-Quarter Heroics In Game 3
Share this: Kevin Durant said he’d been practicing the shot for his entire life, and a lifetime of preparation paid off Wednesday night at Quicken Loans Arena. Durant went on a personal 7-0 run over the final two minutes of Game 3 of the NBA Finals to propel his Golden State Warriors to a 118-113 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron James and Kyrie Irving combined for 77 points, and James rested only two minutes the entire game. But even with James and Irving playing at an other-worldly level, Durant’s cold-blooded pull-up 3-pointer with 45 seconds left made their efforts just a footnote in NBA history. The Warriors been on a mission from the minute the buzzer sounded following their NBA Finals collapse last year, and
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
Rihanna Defends LeBron James, Says He’s ‘Still The King’ After Game 1 Loss
Share this: Game 1 of the 2017 NBA Finals didn’t provide much excitement on the court as the Golden State Warriors cruised to a 113-91 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night. Musical star Rihanna arguably was the star of the night, as she caught the attention of ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy and yelled “brick” during a free throw attempt by Warriors forward Kevin Durant. Rihanna encountered some hecklers after the game, and she hit back at them by defending Cavs superstar LeBron James after his team’s loss. Warning: the video and text in the tweet below have NSFW language. James led the Cavs with 28 points, and also added 15 rebounds and eight assists. He did have a team-high eight turnovers, but he wasn’t
Donington Park next stop for the ADAC Northern Europe Cup
After the first three races, Georgi has only a slender five-point lead in the GP class. ADAC NEC rookie Jan-Ole Jähnig (16, GER), who finished runner-up in the 2016 ADAC Junior Cup powered by KTM, has 45 points to his credit and is breathing down the neck of the class leader.

Words of a Champion: Nicky Hayden on…
NH69: “Well, for sure, in Portugal, that moment in the gravel trap, that thought of being World Champion just slipped through my hands. You never know how many times you’re going to be in that opportunity in life, but I gathered myself up, and after the race, maybe one hour after, I started to think of only Valencia. I looked at the points and realised I still had a chance. I know Valencia is a small track, many guys go fast there—maybe it’s not the best track for Valentino at that time. And I somehow, as crazy as it sounds—people ask me now—from about an hour after that race, I always believed I was still going to be World Champion.
Avery Bradley’s Game-Winner Seals Celtics’ Game 3 Comeback Vs. Cavs
Share this: Avery Bradley said “I know I’m going to bring it” when asked about Game 3 following his team’s 44-point loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals Friday night.

Bradley scored 20 points with four assists in 42 minutes. He and Marcus Smart, who had a team-high 27 points, led the Celtics offensively with superstar guard Isaiah Thomas out for the rest of the playoffs with a hip injury.
