I just still can't wrap my mind around this. Boycotts have stated goals. What's the goal here?

You do not need to boycott IndyCar because ICE used a graphic with an IndyCar on it without series consent.

As someone who covered high school sports for MSG (as a high schooler) 15 years ago, they have more technology than we did.

The Winner Of History's First Car Race Murdered His Wife In A 'Crime Of Passion' - Jalopnik Albert Lemaître, the winner of the 1894 Paris-Rouen, stood trial for murdering his wife a dozen years after his historic victory, and got away with murder.

Yes, they were disturbingly* cool with husbands murdering their wives.

"...the acquittal rate for murders soared from 15% to 34% between 1860 and 1890. For assaults, the acquittal rate went from 27% to 78%."

I wonder how fast I'm going to regret writing "If his heart broke, you can't send him to the rope" as a bit of levity in a bleak story about how juries were disturbing cool with husbands murdering their wives in 1900s France.

Someone please correct me. Iowa Speedway is the newest major oval built in this country, right? I'm not saying repeat the 90s, but ovals need to be built in big markets.

R.I.P. Fontana.

Allez Pauline! After a six-year sabbatical from road cycling, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot wins the final stage and the Tour de France Femmes in her first attempt!

Charles Leclerc was willing to sacrifice himself and George Russell to defend that podium.

Does Ferrari still have a cigarette shed behind the garage? Hamilton and Leclerc need a smoke break. #F1

Leclerc is having a meltdown. I can't remember a radio message this long was transcribed.

Things are well and truly honsed! Piastri passes Leclerc and quickly blows the gap to over four seconds.

Max Verstappen gets past Lewis Hamilton. I'm pretty sure it's not legal to divebomb someone off the track.

McLaren thought they could jump Piastri past Leclerc, but Ferrari immediately covered off the pit stop. However, Norris has yet to stop.

Charles Leclerc makes it through the start with the lead. I wonder how long Ferrari will be able to stay in P1 before McLaren makes up ground.

It feels like both. Bortoleto has been as consistent and gradually improved nearly every weekend. The ideal rookie season.

Red Bull. Things are good and haven’t been. Yes, Verstappen has won 2 races but those performances are outliers compared to the team's usual pace this year.

PFP in yellow! Pauline Ferrand-Prévot conquers the queen stage. She heads into the final stage tomorrow with a 2:37 lead. She could be the first French rider to win the Tour de France or its unofficial women's predecessors in 35 years!

This is not a drill! A Sauber has outqualified MAX VERSTAPPEN. #F1

I don't remember if there was a single overarching analysis, but agencies did release progress reports last year to mark the 10th anniversary of Vision Zero in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

I know draft picks are basically viewed as a currency nowadays, but trading away picks for draft classes that are still in middle school is always absurd to me.

Bubba Wallace Becomes First Black Driver To Win On Indianapolis' Fabled Oval - Jalopnik Bubba Wallace wrote his own name in the history books on Sunday.

Highlighting the discriminatory sentiment that put society in this position to begin with, they have also been saying it shouldn’t count because Bubba’s mixed, which ignores all of American history and would discount Hamilton’s win too. (3/3)

Black drivers were banned from racing on that oval until 1947. The post from yesterday shared an article about a Black racing league that was established in opposition to the ban. It wasn't until 1991 that a Black driver (Willy T. Ribbs) started a race on the oval. (2/3)

On other sites, my mentions have been flooded with people trying to use Lewis Hamilton’s 2007 USGP win to dismiss Bubba Wallace’s Brickyard 400 win yesterday. It’s like claiming that a win on Le Mans’ Bugatti Circuit and the Circuit de la Sarthe is the same. To explain... (1/3)

Yeah, I should have specified the oval. There's an argument to be made on the second point, but I'm not willing to make that case.
