Nicholas Monteiro Joins HMD for INDY NXT Debut at Portland
Nicholas Monteiro will join HMD Motorsports for the 2025 INDY NXT by Firestone Grand Prix of Portland on Aug. 8-10, his debut in the INDYCAR development series.
Monteiro will drive the No. 24 HMD Motorsports car on the 12-turn, 1.964-mile natural road course at Portland International Raceway.
Brazilian-American driver Monteiro will pull double duty at Portland, as he will add his full-time driving duties in the USF Pro 2000 series to his INDY NXT debut. HMD is coming off its best weekend of the season at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, as team driver Caio Collet swept both races of the doubleheader from the pole position.
'I'm incredibly excited for the opportunity to drive for HMD Motorsports in Portland,' Monteiro said. 'It's another step closer to achieving my goals in racing. I'm grateful to the team for believing in me and to my partners for their support.
'I have traveled to the team's headquarters in Indiana, and it is an incredible facility. Their results in years past and the success at the last event at Laguna Seca show that they are one of the top teams in the series. I'm ready to put in the work and add to HMD's success.'
Monteiro, 20, has gained valuable experience across multiple championships. After a successful karting career, he advanced to the Brazilian and Italian F4 Championships before making his USF Pro 2000 debut in 2023.
Earlier this year, Monteiro competed in the Castrol Toyota Formula Regional Oceania Trophy (CTFROT), where he finished 12th overall in a series HMD Motorsports plans to enter in 2026.
'We're very happy to have Nicholas join us for the final road course race of the year,' HMD Motorsports President Mike Maurini said. 'We've followed his progress closely in USF Pro 2000 and in international series and believe in his talent and speed. Nicholas will bring fresh energy to the team, building on the momentum from our recent success at Laguna Seca.'

VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content.

Serie A 2025-26 season — Schedule, leading scorers, table, USMNT players
A league once in the firm grip of a black-and-white dynasty has become more open, but the blue bloods still dominate Serie A. With four different winners over the last six seasons, Italy's top division has been a lot more fun for neutrals in that period. Actually, it's been more fun for everyone but Juventus. MORE — All-time Serie A winners list This season, it'll be Napoli trying to repeat as champions and form a mini-dynasty of its own after winning twice in the last three years. Plenty will chase Antonio Conte's team, with American stars and star imports from Canada (Jonathan David) and Mexico (Santiago Gimenez) giving chase. Below is everything you need to prepare for the 2025-26 Serie A season. When does the 2025-26 Serie A season begin? The Serie A season begins August 23, 2025 and runs through May 24, 2026. Who will win the 2025-26 scudetto? Napoli have won two of the last three scudetti as Serie A's top team, but there's no longer a black-and-white chokehold on the shield winners. Both Milan teams and Napoli have won since Juventus' last title, as The Old Lady saw its nine-year run atop Serie A end when Inter Milan claimed the 2020-21 scudetto. The oddsmakers have Napoli and Inter Milan as the most likely to win it all this season, but Juventus and AC Milan are in the fight and not long shots at all. Even AS Roma isn't far off the favorites. Who were relegated and promoted last season? Empoli, Venezia, and Monza were relegated after the 2024-25 season. Their places will be taken by familiar name Sassuolo as well as Pisa and Cremonese. What have been the big Serie A transfers this summer? AC Milan sold Tijjani Reijnders to Man City and Theo Hernandez to Saudi Arabia, bringing in Torino's Samuele Ricci and Brighton's Pervis Estupinan on permanent transfers, also adding Luka Modric on a free transfer. Napoli have been active in plotting their title defense, adding PSV Eindhoven winger Noa Lang and Bologna center back Sam Beukema for decent fees in addition to signing Kevin De Bruyne on a free transfer. Victor Osimhen was sold to Galatasaray for big money. Inter brought in Luis Henrique from Marseille and center forward Ange-Yoan Bonny from Parma. Atalanta sold Mateo Retegui to Saudi Arabia for huge money and spread the proceeds around the world including a move for Southampton's Kamaldeen Sulemana. Juve signed Jonathan David on a free transfer, and are bringing back Francisco Conceicao on a permanent deal. They also again raided Fiorentina for a forward. This time it's Nico Gonzalez. Roma sold Enzo Le Fee to Sunderland and brought in Flamengo's Wesley and Lens' Neil El Aynaoui, also signing Evan Ferguson on loan from Brighton. Como continued to build with moves for Man City's Maximo Perrone and Celtic winger Nicolas Kuhn. Another big-money deal? Bologna sold Dan Ndoye to Nottingham Forest. What's the latest for Christian Pulisic and other USMNT players in Serie A? There are still four Americans in Serie A, and all are with the blue bloods. Christian Pulisic remains one of, if not the top player at AC Milan, where he's joined by midfielder Yunus Musah. There was some talk that Timothy Weah could leave Juventus, but at the moment he's still on the books at The Old Lady along with Weston McKennie. Serie A goals leaders — Who will win the Capocannoniere? Inter Milan and Argentina star Lautaro Martinez is the favorite to score the most goals in Serie A. The identity of the Capocannoniere — 'head gunner' — could also be newcomer Jonathan David of Juventus, while Marcus Thuram, Moise Keane, Romelu Lukaku, and Dusan Vlahovic see their names high up the odds table. Mexico's Santiago Gimenez and Roma's Artem Dovbyk are among the dark horses.

Ledecky wins 800-metre freestyle at world swim championship, McIntosh takes bronze
SINGAPORE - A must-see race at the world swimming championship lived up to its billing. Canada's Summer McIntosh emerged with a bronze medal after a three-way duel from start to finish in the women's 800-metre freestyle Saturday in Singapore. The Toronto teenager, Olympic champion Katie Ledecky of the United States and Lani Pallister of Australia battled from the blocks to the wall with Ledecky claiming her seventh world title in the distance. McIntosh, seeking a fourth-straight gold medal in Singapore, ran second to the American star before making her move at the final turn for a brief lead after 700 metres. But Ledecky surged and delivered the knockout punch over the final 50 with Pallister closing fast behind her. Ledecky touched the wall in eight minutes, 5.62 seconds with Pallister less than four-tenths of a second behind. McIntosh ran out of gas and touched the wall 1.67 seconds after Ledecky. McIntosh will come up short in her goal of five gold medals in her five individual events. However, the 18-year-old is the favourite and world-record holder in the women's 400-metre individual medley on Sunday's last day of competition. McIntosh became the first Canadian to win three gold medals in a single world championship with victories in the 400 freestyle, 200 butterfly and 200 individual medley. Montreal's Ilya Kharun took bronze in the men's 100-metre butterfly Saturday to give Canada eight medals at the world aquatics championships — seven in swimming and one in diving. The 20-year-old Kharun, who was an Olympic bronze medallist last year in Paris, posted a time of 50.07 seconds. Maxime Grousset of France was the winner in 49.62 ahead of silver medallist Noe Ponti of Switzerland in 49.83. Toronto's Josh Liendo was fourth in 50.09. Taylor Ruck of Kelowna, B.C., placed sixth in the women's 50-metre freestyle. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 2, 2025. Note to readers:This is a corrected version. A previous version stated Canada had won seven medals so far. Canada has won eight.
