Fresh off his win in the Advent Health 400 at Kansas Speedway, veteran driver Kyle Larson will take aim at the 2025 NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway on Sunday. Larson has been red-hot this year, earning his third win and ninth top-10 finish of the season last weekend. Larson took first at the Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway in March. He followed that up by winning the Food City 500 in Bristol, Tenn., last month. Larson is the +500 favorite, with Ryan Blaney, Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell at +600, and William Byron and Joey Logano at +800 in the latest 2025 NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway odds, from DraftKings Sportsbook.
Brad Keselowski will be on the pole. Sunday’s race is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. ET. Before making any 2025 NASCAR All-Star Race picks or NASCAR predictions, you need to see what NASCAR insider Steven Taranto has to say.

The 13-year Cup series veteran has competed in 377 races in his career. In that span, he has collected 32 career wins with 22 poles and 191 top-10 finishes. His first Cup series race was at the 2013 Bank of America 500 at Charlotte, and he earned the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Rookie of the Year honor. Larson registered his first win at the 2016 Pure Michigan 400.

Head-to-head: With limited options at this all-star event, Taranto sees a good bet in the head-to-head matchup between Ryan Blaney (-180) over Ross Chastain (+130) on DraftKings Sportsbook.

The 31-year-old is a 13-time winner in the Cup series, with a remarkable 153 top-10 finishes and 11 poles in over 11 years of racing. He won the 2023 series championship.
Chastain, meanwhile, had his best finish in 2022, when he placed second. In nine years and 230 career races at the NASCAR Cup Series level, he has registered five wins, 61 top-10 finishes and two poles. He is looking for his first win since entering victory lane at the 2024 Hollywood Casino 400 in Kansas. See all of Taranto’s picks at SportsLine.

Week 9 Fantasy Baseball Waiver-Wire Targets: Ryan Weathers, Logan Henderson emerging
The waiver wire seems to work in cycles. Early on in the season, those exciting breakouts take center stage, as everyone rushes out to add The Next Big Thing before their competition. And then things tend to get pretty quiet, as some of those early-season "breakouts" fall off and the top options on the wire tend to look more like boring veteran types on a hot streak. That's where we've been for most of the past month or so, but things have changed a bit in the past week. We had a couple of very interesting catcher promotions from the minors, which is always fun, but the really exciting names on the wire right now are on the pitching side. So, before we get to anything else this week, let's take a look at five pitchers who look like they might […]

USMNT star Christian Pulisic set to miss out on European soccer as AC Milan continue horrendous domestic form
Getty Images It was one of the most disappointing seasons in the history of the club, as AC Milan failed to qualify for European soccer next season. After losing 3-1 at the Stadio Olimpico of Rome against AS Roma, the team coached by Sergio Conceicao won't officially make it into the top six, valid for a spot in the next UEFA competitions, as the Rossoneri also lost the Coppa Italia final against Bologna on May 14, missing out on a spot in the UEFA Europa League during the 2025-26 season. It has been a disappointing season for the club owned by the RedBird group led by American businessman Gerry Cardinale, especially after the decisions made in the summer 2024, when club CEO Giorgio Furlani and RedBird advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic decided to appoint former Lille coach Paulo Fonseca instead of, for example, […]
