Share this: Justin Timberlake will perform in Austin, Texas on Saturday night following the United States Grand Prix, but not without a little schedule shifting. While there usually is a two-hour break following the FP3 session, there now will be a four-hour space before the 4 p.m. local time qualifying race precedes the “JT” concert. According to motorsport.com, the change is in hopes that more people will stay for the concert, as well as for music fans to maybe take in some racing before going to the show. Mechanics and race teams are complaining about the time change because it will make them change their routine and create a longer work day. The teams also are worried that this could cause the Formula One to

Red Sox Draft Tracker: Who Did Boston Pick In 2017 MLB Draft?
The Boston Red Sox have seen their early-round draft selections make an impact at the major league level much sooner than anticipated. Andrew Benintendi, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2015 MLB draft, already has become a staple in the Red Sox’s lineup and is poised to be a part of a dynamic outfield with fellow Boston draft picks Mookie Betts and Jackie Bradley Jr. for quite some time. Starting Monday, the Red Sox will add a new group of prospects in the 2017 MLB draft. It could be some time before you see these players in action at Fenway Park, but they certainly will be names to keep an eye on
Mike Brown’s NBA Title With Warriors Came At Cavs’ Expense (Literally)
Share this: At this time last year, Mike Brown was out of an NBA job. Now — well, let’s just say he’s in a much more enviable situation. The Warriors assistant coach earned himself a ring Monday night when Golden State dispatched the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The victory was especially sweet for Brown, considering the Cavs fired him twice from two separate head coaching jobs in 2010 and 2014. But it gets even better. When Cleveland signed him a second time in April 2013, Brown inked a five-year contract reportedly worth $20 million, part of which was guaranteed. And when he was fired a year later, a provision in his contract ensured he’d still receive that money in payments
Cavs Still Have Hope In NBA Finals Thanks To Record-Setting Performance
Share this: The Golden State Warriors have a 3-1 series lead in the NBA Finals, and the Cleveland Cavaliers have the best player in the world (sorry, Kevin Durant and Paul Pierce). So, don’t crown the Dubs NBA champions quite yet. Yes, the odds are stacked against the Cavs, even after their 137-116 blowout win over the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 at Quicken Loans Arena. Only three teams in NBA history have forced a Game 7 after falling behind 3-0, and none of them went on to win their respective series. And those teams weren’t facing one of the greatest basketball teams of all time with Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green all in the starting lineup. But those teams
Indy 500 Is Challenging, Historic Race That’s Definitely Worth Watching
Share this: IndyCar doesn’t have as large of a following as NASCAR, but the open wheel series has one race every year that any sports fan should watch: the Indianapolis 500. With Formula One driver Fernando Alonso competing in this year’s running, the 2017 Indy 500 has gained more attention than usual. But even if you don’t care about Alonso making his oval debut, or McLaren returning to an event it last won in 1976, there are still plenty of reasons to watch the 500-mile race. We made a list of the top-five reasons why even people who rarely, if ever, watch racing should tune in to this year’s Indy 500 on May 28: One of the biggest live sporting events in the world Photo via Brian Spurlock/USA
Lorenzo predicts top eight pace in the race
Jorge Lorenzo, P16: “Unfortunately the weather conditioned my practice and qualifying. With the rain I felt I was very competitive, but when I fitted slicks with the track partially damp, I wasn't able to push hard because I didn’t feel safe enough. In Q1 there were a lot of really quick riders, and despite the fact that I set a good time, we weren't able to get into Q2. Pity, because I feel sure that if I had had another 15 minutes available I could have dropped my lap time by three or four tenths, and I think that my real position in dry conditions is amongst the top eight riders. Now the only thing that I can do is
Watch Kyle Busch’s Million-Dollar Moment From NASCAR’s All-Star Race
Share this: Kyle Busch still hasn’t taken a checkered flag in a points race this season. But even though his victory in Saturday’s NASCAR All-Star Race won’t bring him any closer to the playoffs, he’s probably celebrating like he did. That’s because in visiting victory lane for the first time in 2017, Busch earned himself a cool $1 million. After qualifying for a spot among nine other drivers in the race’s final 10-lap shootout, Busch, as he’s done so often, used an impressive jump off the restart to claim a lead he never relinquished. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver then parked his No. 18 M&M’s Toyota Camry and celebrated as he usually does, except this time with a hefty check. We don’t want to take
