Grit, Gains, and Setbacks for Lottery.com and Sports.com Drivers in Fourth of July Weekend Battle at Mid-Ohio
A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available by clicking on this link. LEXINGTON, Ohio, July 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY, LTRYW) (' or 'the Company'), a leading technology company transforming the intersection of gaming, sports and entertainment, today announced their drivers' results from the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. In sweltering summer conditions, the trio of and drivers took on one of the most technical and physically demanding road courses on the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and INDY NXT by Firestone calendars. With 90 laps of elevation, strategy, and heat, the Fourth of July holiday weekend brought both breakthroughs and heartbreaks to the paddock. Callum IlottCar No. 90 – PREMA Racing (INDYCAR SERIES)Finished: P13 | Best Result of the Season | Sponsored by: Callum Ilott delivered a superb recovery drive from P24 on the grid to P13, notching his best result of the 2025 season in a race that tested both patience and performance. After being forced off-track to avoid an incident at the start, the PREMA Racing driver went off-strategy, switching early to alternate red-sidewall tires under the first caution. Ilott executed a well-managed three-stop strategy, making his final pit stop on lap 82 and pushing hard in the closing stages to gain multiple positions. 'A really strong race. We had a bit of contact at the beginning and I was just put in a bad position on the outside,' said Ilott. 'We gambled and did an early stop onto the Reds. The first stint wasn't anything special, but once we came in and got going again on the next set of Reds, it was super fast. The car was really strong. We maximised everything from P24 — great pit stops and solid strategy.' Louis FosterCar No. 45 – Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (INDYCAR SERIES)Finished: P14 | Rookie of the Year Leader | Sponsored by: Louis Foster continued his impressive rookie season by qualifying in P6—his third Fast Six shootout appearance this year—and finishing 14th in a challenging fuel-saving race. Despite not having a fresh set of tires for his final qualifying run, Foster again proved his one-lap speed and now holds an average starting position of 12.2 across a 27-car field. In the race, Foster was initially in contention for a top-10 before a pit stop stall cost valuable time. Nonetheless, his strong performance earned him top rookie honours on the day and moved him into the lead of the Rookie of the Year standings. 'I think I did a good job saving fuel,' . 'That was the first time I did a proper fuel save race so that was good experience for me. Top rookie in the race by some margin. There are worse days for sure, but it's disappointing.' Sebastian MurrayCar No. 2 – Andretti Global (Indy NXT)Started: P18 | DNF (Lap 4) | Championship Standing: P10 (140 points)Sponsored by: Rookie Seb Murray's weekend ended early after making contact on Lap 4 with teammate Ricardo Escotto, causing race-ending damage. After a strong opening phase where Murray climbed from P18 to P12, the collision brought a premature end to what had been a positive start. 'A super unfortunate end to today. I'm not really sure what happened — we'll have to watch the replays and look at the data — but I'm just glad everyone's okay,' . 'A massive thank you to the AMR Safety team. They were on the scene incredibly quickly. Obviously, apologies to the team. It was a good weekend until the incident, and we were hoping to work our way forward.''We're incredibly proud of how our drivers have performed this season so far. From pole positions to breakthrough race results, Louis, Callum, and Seb have truly delivered. This Fourth of July weekend, the and brands were flying the flag — with strong visibility on the cars and in the paddock throughout a high-profile holiday event. 'It was also exciting to see Callum and Louis racing wheel-to-wheel for P13 and P14 — both fighting hard but keeping it clean, which speaks volumes about their professionalism and respect. Keep it shiny side up, race smart, and above all, stay safe. We're behind you every step of the way.''The performances so far this season have been nothing short of staggering. The entire and family wishes Louis, Callum, and Seb the very best as the season heats up. Mid-Ohio was a test, and now we look forward to Iowa and beyond with pride and confidence.'The Inc.

2025 Indy 500 pole sitter Robert Shwartzman has pitstop crash
PREMA Racing driver Robert Shwartzman (83) prepares to put on his helmet Sunday, May 25, 2025, ahead of the 109th running of the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis 500 rookie pole-sitter Robert Shwartzman stood 29th after a disastrous pit stop Sunday on the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval. Shwartzman slammed into some of his pit crew and the inside wall on a Lap 86 pit stop. One of his crew members is taken to the infield care center. Shwartzman requires a front wing change. Advertisement He blamed cold tires in an interview on the Fox broadcast. "As soon as I touched my breaks, my car just go," he said. Shwartzman had a slow first pitstop during a Lap 25 caution. Shwartzman led the first eight laps until Pato O'Ward passed him on a restart. The 25-year-old Israeli was the first rookie to start from the pole position since Tony Stewart in 1996. Stewart moved up one place on the starting grid after pole-winner Scott Brayton was killed in a post-qualifying crash. Shwartzman was the first rookie to earn the pole based on speed since Teo Fabi in 1983. The most recent Indy 500 rookie winner was Alexander Rossi in 2016. Ray Harroun (1911, the first Indy 500), Frank Lockhart (1926), Graham Hill (1966), Juan Pablo Montoya (2000) and Helio Castroneves (2001) also won as rookies.
