CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR fined Daniel Suarez $50,000 on Wednesday for hitting another vehicle on pit road following the race at Circuit of the Americas. The fine was classified as a behavioral penalty and cited “contact with another vehicle on pit road after the race.”Suarez hit both his Trackhouse Racing teammate Ross Chastain from behind and then Alex Bowman as the cars returned to pit road following Sunday’s race on the road course. He spoke with Bowman on pit road after, and leaned into Chastain’s car to speak to his teammate through the window.“He just thought I drove in and tried to drive through him,” Bowman said. “Daniel and I, we’ve been teammates in the past, raced together a long time. I respect the hell out of him. I’m sure he’s still not super happy. Just tried to explain that I wouldn’t race him like that, that I was shoved in there.”Suarez finished 27th in a race that went to triple overtime with 10 cautions in the final 17 laps. The race ...

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 07:02:30 GMT

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Texas Rangers center fielder Leody Taveras will start the season on the injured list while still recovering from a strained oblique sustained during a batting practice session at spring training. General manager Chris Young said Wednesday, when discussing roster moves the day before the season opener, that Taveras has made significant progress. But the team didn’t want to rush him. “We were kind of waiting, holding out maybe a little bit of hope that Leody would turn the corner,” Young said. “While he’s made great progress, and I just got an update that today’s been a really good day, the right thing to do is be cautious here and make sure we get Leody for the duration, and not push him to be ready for opening day.”With Taveras on the IL, the Rangers will have Travis Jankowski on the opening day roster after he went to spring training as a non-roster player. He is a center fielder who has played for five teams over eight major league s...

From Beacon Hill to Capitol Hill, many people are calling for stronger laws on the books to stop gun violence in the aftermath of the recent deadly school shooting in Nashville. As the conversation moves forward, though, there is a difference in opinion on how to stop mass shootings.  The group “Moms Demand Action” gathered at the Massachusetts State House on Wednesday, rallying in favor of stricter gun control legislation. For Jody Marchand, the rally was personal. Marchand was 50 when her husband shot her in the head 13 years ago in Westford with a semi-automatic pistol she bought him for Christmas. Marchand’s husband also murdered their 17-year-old daughter Olivia before he turned the gun on himself. “How do we fix it?” Marchand said. “We make stronger gun laws.”The attack in Nashville killed three adults and three young children. Speaking this week, Beacon Hill lawmakers noted Massachusetts has some of the toughest laws on the books.“The tragedy that oc...
