NASCAR: Austin Cindric, Ford win at Talladega on a last-lap pass
TALLADEGA, Ala. — The final laps of the Jack Links 500 turned into an all-out Ford vs. Chevy battle, and when the checkered flag flew, Ford's Austin Cindric and Ryan Preece held off Chevy's Kyle Larson and William Byron in a photo finish. Cindric won by about a yard, just holding off Preece as the pack approached lapped traffic.There’s an unspoken subtext to every Talladega race: The Big One. The massive, high-banked superspeedway provides perfect conditions for enormous, field-swallowing wrecks. They’re the kind of wrecks that both horrify and entice viewers, even if nobody really wants to admit it. This time around, the Big One didn't happen, setting up a final sprint to the finish.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementFor the first two stages, the only wrecks were relatively minor errors of judgment and execution. On lap 43, Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch and Ryan Blaney […]

Filipe Luís, técnico do Flamengo (Divulgação - CRF) Filipe Luís, em um discurso abrangente, exaltou o modo que Hugo Souza conseguiu dar a volta por cima no futebol. Sem espaço, o goleiro teve coragem para deixar o Flamengo e, vestindo a camisa do Chaves, adquiriu experiência dentro do futebol português. Neste cenário, ao substituir Cássio no Corinthians, o camisa 1 se firmou como titular do Timão e deve seguir evoluindo na carreira. “Eu falei sobre ele em outras entrevistas. É um amigo que eu tenho como ex-companheiro durante alguns anos É um cara com um potencial muito grande e muito corajoso, porque ele decidiu sair, também era o momento dele sair.”, disse Filipe Luís, em coletiva de imprensa.
