NASCAR star Kyle Larson practices for 2025 Indianapolis 500 today, 5/14/25
Larson completed 107 laps Wednesday in Indy 500 practice on the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval with a top lap of 223.985 mph.
Cup star Joey Logano visited IMS on Wednesday, calling Larson a "freak of nature." Logano said he's not considering doing the "Double" because he doesn't want to divide his attention between Indy and Cup cars.
This is Larson's second attempt at the "Double." Weather fouled up his 2024 effort. A 4-hour rain delay pushed the Indy 500 start into late afternoon, and he finished 18th. He traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina, for the Cup Coca-Cola 600, which had already begun. However, rain washed out that race early, and he never got in the car.
Larson has made it clear that Cup is his priority this year. If he makes the Fast Six in qualifying Sunday afternoon, he will miss it to get to North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, for the NASCAR All-Star Race and the chance of a $1 million prize. On race day, he has said he will make sure to get to Charlotte for the Cup race, even if it means leaving the Indy 500 early.

Guernsey FC force FA Cup replay after Bedfont Sports draw
Guernsey FC will travel to Bedfont Sports in an FA Cup replay on Tuesday after the two sides drew 1-1 in their extra preliminary round tie. Seb Vance missed a headed chance after 17 minutes for the hosts, while five minutes later Bedfont's Jake Woods hit the post with a free kick. Simon Arnold hit the side netting for Guernsey five minutes into the second half. But the deadlock was finally broken with 18 minutes left as Bedfont's Jude Jakes-McKay fired his side in front with a low effort. But Guernsey's record goalscorer Ross Allen levelled five minutes later as he deftly turned home Brandon Wallace's cross to send the tie to a replay. The two sides will meet at the Bedfont Recreation Ground on Tuesday night as Guernsey aim to progress in the FA Cup after returning to the tournament for the first time in eight years.

The Tottenham vs Newcastle live stream is set to be a fascinating contest between two sides with contrasting summers.
