Marco Andretti crashes on Lap 4 as 2025 Indy 500 resumes
Andretti was on the outside of Dreyer and Reinbold Racing teammates Ryan Hunter-Reay and Jack Harvey when Hunter-Reay moved the No. 23 Chevrolet to the right. Harvey was alongside Hunter-Reay and moved in reaction to his teammate, colliding with Andretti.
The No. 98 Honda spun and hit the wall with the left side of the car before it slid to a stop near the outside wall in Turn 1. Andretti climbed out of the car under his own power.

GM breaks EV range record with elaborate 2026 Silverado EV drive test
Range anxiety is one of the leading reasons consumers cite for avoiding electric vehicles, and a big purchase reason for customers of the Silverado EV, which advertises a range of 400-plus miles over its various trims. To address that concern and to amuse its engineers, General Motors put its electric truck to the test last week and smashed a distance record in the process. Under meticulous parameters — including restricting the use of air conditioning in the July heat — the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Work Truck set a new world record for electric vehicle range, traveling 1,059.2 miles on a single charge, more than double the truck's EPA-estimated range of 493 miles. Lucid Motors held the previous record for electric vehicle range, with 749 miles earlier this summer. GM and other automakers are limited to what they can advertise about their vehicles' ranges outside of the EPA test cycle conducted at the National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor. Stephanie Brinley, associate director of Auto Intelligence at S&P Global Mobility, said those tests are meant to create a level playing field among automakers to compare how vehicle ranges perform under the same set of conditions. 'It's very rarely precise on what you get in the real world, but automakers are only able to advertise what number comes out of that test cycle,' Brinley said. The Silverado EV test allowed GM to demonstrate in a one-off case that there's more potential in the battery pack than a consumer may expect. The Silverado EV reached the record after months of preparation and planning. First, the vehicle was optimized, but only in a way that customers could replicate at home, according to GM spokeswoman Catherine Scales. According to the company those optimizations included: Maintaining an average speed of 20-25 mph when safe to do so and avoiding hard braking or quick acceleration. Conducting most of the test with the driver alone in the vehicle. The windshield wiper blades were set to the 'lowest acceptable' position to reduce drag. The Silverado's tires were inflated to their highest acceptable pressure for lower rolling resistance except for the spare, which was removed to lighten the load. The wheel alignment 'was optimized.' An accessory tonneau cover was added to streamline airflow around the truck bed. Climate control was off. Another factor that helped the vehicle's battery life was performing the test in summer, which GM said provided the 'optimum ambient temperature for battery efficiency.' The test was conducted over the course of one week on public roads near GM's Milford Proving Ground and on Belle Isle. Forty GM engineers volunteered to drive the vehicle. GM sold 5,439 Silverado EVs in the first six months of 2025, up 67% over last year but still falling drastically short of its gasoline-powered predecessor. GM sold 289,251 across all Silverado types, including medium and light-duty versions. Jackie Charniga covers General Motors for the Free Press.

2025 NFL Odds: Travis Hunter Named Starting WR, Second-String CB
National Football League 2025 NFL Odds: Travis Hunter Named Starting WR, Second-String CB Updated Aug. 5, 2025 1:20 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Welp, there it is: Travis Hunter is listed on both sides of the Jaguars' depth chart. Hunter, a wide receiver and cornerback in college, was drafted by Jacksonville after one year at Jackson State and two seasons at Colorado. Since arriving in Jacksonville, new head coach Liam Coen has had Hunter practicing at both positions, and on Jacksonville's first unofficial depth chart, he's listed as a starting wide receiver and a second-string cornerback. That suggests most of his snaps — at least early on — will come on offense, catching passes from Trevor Lawrence. Let's check out some of the Travis Hunter odds at FanDuel Sportsbook as of Aug. 5. Travis Hunter to record 1000+ regular-season receiving yards: +230 (bet $10 to win $33 total) Travis Hunter to record 75+ regular-season receptions & record 2+ regular-season interceptions: +250 (bet $10 to win $35 total) Travis Hunter to score 10+ touchdowns (combined offensive and defensive touchdowns: +700 (bet $10 to win $80 total) Travis Hunter to record 5+ regular-season offensive touchdowns & 1+ regular-season defensive: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total) Travis Hunter to score 1+ touchdown & record 1+ interception in season debut: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total) Travis Hunter to record 750+ regular-season yards & record 5+ regular-season interceptions: +1700 (bet $10 to win $180 total) Although Hunter has yet to take an NFL snap, he played a remarkable 2,625 snaps in college and became the most decorated player in Colorado football history. During his time with the Buffaloes, he recorded 153 receptions for 1,979 yards and 20 touchdowns, and added a rushing touchdown. Defensively, Hunter was equally impressive. He logged 66 tackles (including 47 solo and three for loss), along with seven interceptions for 55 yards. Additionally, he had 16 pass breakups and one forced fumble over his two seasons in Boulder. Hunter's milestones earned him numerous awards, including the Heisman Trophy, AP College Football Player of the Year, Walter Camp Award, Chuck Bednarik Award, Fred Biletnikoff Award and Lott Trophy, and he was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year.

Who Is Colton Herta? INDYCAR's Youngest Winner On Golf, Drums & Rescue Dogs
NTT INDYCAR SERIES Who Is Colton Herta? INDYCAR's Youngest Winner On Golf, Drums & Rescue Dogs Published Aug. 5, 2025 1:03 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link What were you doing at 18 years old? Well, Colton Herta was winning at racing's highest levels. In 2019, he became the youngest driver ever (and still is) to win an INDYCAR race with a victory at Circuit of the Americas. Considering his father, Bryan, raced in INDYCAR, owned a race team that twice won the Indianapolis 500 and is now a strategist for Andretti Global, it was likely Colton's destiny to follow the family's racing legacy. Racing is in the blood of father Bryan and son Colton Herta. Herta, who moved from Nashville to Las Vegas in the offseason last year, talked about everything from growing up around racing and his drumming ability to his golf game and his rescue dogs. Who is Colton Herta? Who is Colton Herta? I'm a 25-year-old Southern California native, INDYCAR driver and American. How would your friends describe you? Probably, like, quiet. Not really outgoing. I guess maybe a little bit more outgoing on race weekends and for this sort of thing. But for the most part, I just keep to myself and avoid people. ADVERTISEMENT You're the youngest winner ever in the series ... does that mean you had no childhood? I guess not in the normal sense. From a young age, while kids were going to soccer practice and whatnot and on the weekends they'd go to soccer games, I'd get pulled out of school on Friday morning and go to the go-kart track for the weekend. So I guess normal in the sense that I knew a lot of kids my age from the go-kart track but definitely not the traditional sense of sports. I played normal sports growing up. I played soccer, football and baseball but never really past [ages] 8-10. Racing was always kind of a priority for me. And then, when I got older, my friends would be in high school, and I was living in England on my own. So very different. There are some similarities in my childhood that were normal and growing up, even though I did a little bit of a different sport. But then there are obviously some things that were very different. And it was a little bit higher pressure. A young Colton Herta behind the steering wheel. (via Herta's Instagram) Do you still play the drums? I haven't in a while. I can. I moved, and I never set up my drum set. I've just been too busy. And now, when I have free time. This season, I really haven't had any. Our season is pretty crazy right now. I enjoy golfing a little bit more. So I've been doing that more if I have any free time. In your prime, were you better than [fellow INDYCAR driver] Will Power on the drums? I don't know how good Will is. I've seen some videos. He seems like a really solid drummer. Do you know if you're better than [NASCAR driver] Bubba Wallace? I've seen Bubba play one time online. He seemed to be on a similar level with Will. If you had your drum set, what would you play? I never really liked playing to music. I like just jamming and messing around, learning new stuff and doing my own thing. I don't play golf because it takes coordination and patience. How are you finding trying to learn golf? It's a frustrating game. It's extremely difficult, but it's also extremely rewarding. And I think it's rewarding because ... you'll shoot 90 shots in your round and be happy with three or four of them. Those three or four are what keeps you coming back, that feeling of watching the ball fly. It's cool. And I've been fortunate enough to do some stuff around golf because of what I do. I've seen some pros play up close. I have a real appreciation for that sport because I know my inability in it and how amazingly easy they make it look. Colton Herta hits the links. (via Herta's Instagram) Living in Las Vegas now, you'd be able to do a lot more in the offseason than in Nashville? Nashville is difficult. I wasn't really into it until the offseason, too, until I moved to Vegas last offseason. So this is a little bit of a newer thing. Although I have played here and there, I never really fully got into it. I'm fully into it now. And you also have rescue dogs? Yes. If people are thinking about getting a rescue, what's the thing that people don't know about owning a rescue dog? For us, it's been pretty easy. For sure, there's probably stories and cases of dogs that are maybe a little bit less behaved or stuff because of trauma and what they've had to deal with. But for us, it's been really sweet. As long as you go to a reputable shelter, and they're honest for the most part and you know, you understand what you're getting into. And some people like the challenge of having a more challenging dog to train and whatnot. But our dogs have been really chill. I think we're lucky in that sense. Colton Herta has a passion for helping rescue dogs find homes.(via Herta's Instagram) What do you have? A Pit Bull and the other is half poodle, half Great Pyrenees. Is there a dog that you would like? My first dog growing up was a Golden Retriever. Gigi was her name. She was a great dog. I've always wanted to have a Golden Retriever. The Great Pyrenees mix — he acts quite a bit like a Golden Retriever. So maybe someday. And do the dogs come with you to the track? Sometimes. What's the key to having dogs in a motorhome? Oh gosh, I don't know. They're well-behaved, so they're good at chilling out. And I think if you have a super-hyper dog, it's not the place. But they're really good at just hanging out. Colton Herta and a rescue pup. (via Herta's Instagram) And you just moved to Vegas recently. So what are you discovering about Vegas that makes it nice? Is it kind of like a getaway from Indianapolis and the Midwest? It's very different from the Midwest. There's a lot more to do than people think. There's the obvious, but I don't really drink or gamble or do any of that, especially in season. There's a lot of great hiking, mountain biking, the lake right there, right outside of Las Vegas, Lake Mead. So there's a lot of cool outdoorsy things to do. There's a lot of good backpacking. The golf is amazing out there. And important for me, it's really close to my family in California, too. So it's easy to get back. It's a lot easier to have babysitters for the dogs if I need to go somewhere. You talk about being close to your family. But of course, your dad is in the sport, and actually you compete against him on a weekly basis. What's that dynamic like? And do you ever tell him, "Well, you should tell me that strategy. Why are you keeping that from me?" He's open about what he thinks is a good strategy for the race. Maybe if he was on a different team, it would be different. But because we're technically teammates in a sense; he's on the 27 [car of my teammate]. For me, it was such a huge plus, especially growing up with somebody like that. Not only was it the reason why I got into this sport, but I think it's also the reason why I was able to be so successful really early on. It's a big part in me being ready and able to win my third start in INDYCAR. It's had a huge, influential role. It's helped me coming up, not only get with the teams that I've gotten with and get to know the people that I've gotten to know but also just from a standpoint of driving and understanding how to make myself better. Colton Herta became INDYCAR's youngest winner at 18 years old in 2019. He didn't have it easy as a race car driver. Is there anything that you ever saw when he was racing that made you think you might not want to do this because you've seen the highs and the lows? No, because I was so young. He retired when I was 8 years old. At that point, I just thought it was the coolest job ever. And I didn't really see that aspect until I was racing and especially later, when I got into cars. Because in go-karts, it's a lot more — and I credit him for making it this way — it's a lot more fun than it is like, "Oh man, I did bad this weekend." I would do bad and then go play with my buddies. Nowadays, if I do bad, I'm just pissed off for a while. It's different now. But from that aspect, I really grew up in a really fun environment, and I think that's what made me love it. When I was a kid, I was very independent. And much like a lot of kids, I didn't want to hear what my parents told me. So if they created an environment that wasn't like that — [if there was] pressure, no fun … who knows. I probably would not be here. Bob Pockrass covers NASCAR and INDYCAR for FOX Sports.
