Jeb Burton wins Xfinity Series crash-fest at Talladega

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:16:21 GMT

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Jeb Burton won his second career Xfinity Series race at Talladega Superspeedway in a Saturday crash-fest that had two red-flag stoppages and took more than three hours to complete. Burton won in double overtime driving for Jordan Anderson Racing, which scored its first career victory when Burton crossed the finish line. Fittingly for this race, multiple cars crashed behind Burton as he took the checkered flag. And, Burton was unable to do a victory burnout because he broke the transmission on his Chevrolet. Burton, son of Daytona 500 winner Ward Burton, scored his only other Xfinity victory in 2021 at this same track. His owner, Jordan Anderson, is also a driver and was airlifted out of Talladega last October following a fiery crash in the Truck Series. The race had 12 cautions and only 19 of the 38 entries finished on the lead lap. Daniel Hemric’s race ended in the first overtime when he was crashed as the leader trying to throw a block and his car ende...

Orioles win 5th straight, 5-1 win over Tigers, as Kyle Gibson continues streak of strong starts

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:16:21 GMT

Kyle Gibson on Saturday wasn’t the pitcher the Orioles paid $10 million for this offseason.He was much more than that.Gibson, an 11-year veteran with a reputation as a pitch-to-contact innings-eater, struck out 11 batters to tie his career high in the Orioles’ 5-1 win over the Detroit Tigers. The 35-year-old right-hander allowed just two hits and one run in 6 1/3 innings to continue Baltimore’s streak of stupendous outings from its starters.The start is easily Gibson’s best as an Oriole. The only run he allowed was a home run with one out in the seventh. His 6 1/3 innings before the solo homer extended the scoreless streak by Orioles starters to 30, and the quality start was the club’s fourth straight, joining Dean Kremer, Kyle Bradish and Tyler Wells. The Orioles have allowed just two runs in their previous four games.The win is the Orioles’ fifth straight and ninth in their past 11 games. Ramón Urías led Baltimore (13-7) offensively wi...

Will the cost of a vacation ever go down? FALSE: Earthquakes are rareWould it surprise you to know that, on average, there are hundreds of earthquakes each day?For example: even in Pennsylvania, while earthquakes are rare, there was one in June 2022.

FORT COLLINS — Colorado State sophomore quarterback Clay Millen is a year older and a year wiser after taking his lumps as a freshman starter last season.The Washington native and Nevada transfer has shown glimpses this spring of how much he has improved, and he put his progression on display Saturday in CSU’s annual Green and Gold Game at Canvas Stadium to conclude spring practices.The game’s format of “1s vs. The World” started with Millen and the rest of CSU’s starters behind by 21 points.
