Another college football weekend is in the books, and it was a season-defining one, with so many ranked teams falling. Let’s take a look at who covered themselves in glory and who didn’t, with Week 7’s heroes and villains.
Another college football weekend is in the books. Six weeks in, and we’re starting to get a better indication of contenders and pretenders – for my money, everyone is lined up behind Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State, and the Crimson Tide will be hard to beat.
It seems like just yesterday the IndyCar Series started the season on the streets of St Petersburg in Florida, yet six months and 17 races later, we crowned a champion as the series visited Sonoma Raceway in Northern California.
Another college football weekend is in the books, with all the drama that we’re so used to. Let’s take a look at who covered themselves in glory and who didn’t, with Week 3’s heroes and villains.
The IndyCar Series made its second and final super-speedway stop on the weekend, taking on the three-turn triangular Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania.
The IndyCar Series is down to the business end of the season with New Zealand’s Scott Dixon ahead by a considerable margin in the championship race coming into the traditional late-July weekend at the undulating Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, where the Ice Man has won an incredible five times.
It was the trade that had to happen – and now it has.
We’re a month into the 2018 Canadian Football League season and aside from Calgary (undefeated, with a perfect 3-0 record and the bye this week) there’s been so many ups and downs, it’s difficult to work out which team is a challenger and which is a pretender.
The summertime run to the IndyCar Series championship is in full swing.
Missed all the action from the Canada Day weekend in the Canadian Football League? Here’s everything you need to know.
Better late than never, here are my talking points from another huge weekend at the best racetrack in North America.
Missed the second week of the Canadian Football League season? Here are all the headlines from another interesting slate of games.
The earliest start to an 18-week Canadian Football League season ever delivered some good games and plenty of storylines.
Less than a week after Australia’s Will Power took the twin checkers and drove across the yard of bricks to become an Indianapolis 500 champion, the cars and stars of the IndyCar Series were back in action
The 102nd Indianapolis has been run and won, and it was a historic day for Australia amidst high drama in front of more than 300,000 spectators at the Brickyard.
Join The Roar on Monday morning from 1:30am AEST for all the drama and pageantry of the world’s greatest race, the Indianapolis 500.
Down to the business end of the fabled field of 33 cars and drivers for this weekend’s 102nd Indianapolis 500.
The fabled field of 33 is set for the 102nd running of the Indianapolis 500-mile race. From last to first, here are my thoughts on each of the entrants.
There are few things in motorsport as exciting as the fast nine running their ten miles over four laps for the right to lead the field of 33 to the green flag at the Indianapolis 500.
After an absence of a few years where the field of entrants for the Indianapolis 500 have totalled only the traditional 33 who see the green flag on the last Sunday in May, bumping has returned to the Brickyard in epic, controversial and heartbreaking fashion.
My Trojans will beat them over Thanksgiving. Just kidding, USC isn’t beating Notre Dame this year. The latest projections have the Irish playing Alabama in a semi-final. That’s like a booby prize, isn’t it?

Thanks. I love NFL, but love the college game more. Fun stuff on a Sunday.

Yep. Until the East plays my Stamps in a Grey Cup game, anyway! Then they’re good. I was very impressed by the Riders defence shutting down Toronto – and Zach looked good. This might be their year.

It would be INCREDIBLE for Wilson to win after his brother died in a racing accident 3 years ago.

They’ll restart with SEVEN laps to go.

This could be checkers or wreckers time.

If Power can get around Servia, Wilson and Harvey, the race could be his. Definitely has fresher tyres than the trio ahead.

A restart with less than ten to go at Indy? This is going to be off the chain.

Not sure anyone left on Notre Dame’s current schedule (and I sadly include my Trojans) is going to beat them. FSU are hot garbage and probably won’t get within 3 touchdowns.
