NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series took a trip back to 2015 last weekend in Indianapolis, a trend likely to continue Sunday when Kyle Busch leads the way at Pocono Raceway in the Pennsylvania 400.

Even more so causing flashbacks was the appearance of one Jeff Gordon, racing in place of the injured Dale Earnhardt Jr. He'll suit up again this weekend at a familiar, albeit tricky, course. With drivers battling for a spot in the Chase and garages still jockeying for sport dominance, Pocono seems like the perfect host track at the right time. Here's a full previe...

Or, put another way, the world champion's internal struggle to ignore his natural racing driver's instincts and bring himself to accept the arrival of a device that, deep down, he knew would be for the greater good. When the halo first appeared on Sebastian Vettel's and Kimi Raikkonen's Ferraris in winter testing in March, Hamilton was mortified F1 had chosen such a haphazard solution to a problem that, in his view, did not even exist. As Sky Sports' James Galloway reported, he dismissed it as "the worst lookin...
