Kyle Larson is known for riding the outside wall. Austin Dillon is not. The difference showed with five laps left in the Ford EcoBoost 300 as Dillon, who had led since Lap 180, hit the wall in Turn 4. Larson took advantage of the miscue by Dillon to win his third career Xfinity Series race. “I walked up to him in victory lane, and I said, ‘Teach me how to get around the top,’ ” Dillon said. “Obviously I need to change my line around, so maybe I can talk to him and figure something out. He’s very good at finding that edge up there.” Chris Buescher finished 11th to clinch the Xfinity Series championship for his first NASCAR title. It is Roush Fenway Racing’s first Xfinity title since 2012.

Kiper: Trey Lance is most fascinating player in NFL Draft
The 2021 NFL Draft class is loaded with talent at the quarterback position, with as many as five signal-callers projected to land somewhere in the first round. Among that group is North Dakota State star Trey Lance , who opted out of the FCS football season after it was pushed back to the spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the redshirt sophomore has just one season of starting experience under his belt. But Lance impressed in his lone season as a starter, leading the Bison to a perfect 16-0 mark capped off with a national championship. For those reasons, ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. believes Lance is one of the most fascinating players in the draft. "That's the most fascinating player in the draft probably in a long time is Trey Lance because of the circumstances you had to deal with COVID," Kiper said on the latest First Draft podcast . “Only one football game they played.

India vs England 2021: Bell feels visitors guilty of thinking too far ahead, gone wrong with rotation policy
England fell to an embarrassing 10-wicket defeat in the third Test against India to go down 1-2 in the four-match series, while also getting knocked out of contention from the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final in June. "I think England have been guilty of thinking too far ahead of having a squad for the Ashes when actually this is bigger than the Ashes, this is probably as big as the Ashes," Bell told 'ESPNcricinfo'. "Why are we rotating in the biggest Test series you are playing in? For me that's where England have gone a bit wrong," he added. The 38-year-old, who featured in 118 Tests for England, feels for the English players for whom the tours to India and Australia can make or break careers. India vs England 2021: Looking at bigger picture, rotation policy has merit, says James Anderson "These tours, certainly for Englishmen coming to India or going to Australia are the pinnacle. They make your careers, you look back and if you win in those conditions they are … [Read more...] about India vs England 2021: Bell feels visitors guilty of thinking too far ahead, gone wrong with rotation policy

Plus, the rivalry of Edge and Roman Reigns will be the headliner of tonight’s show which is set t take place at the Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay, Florida. Daniel Bryan outlasted five other opponents to win the Smackdown Elimination Chamber match to get a chance against Roman Reigns over the Universal Title.
