All afternoon long, Carl Edwards saw his Joe Gibbs Racing compatriots smack their cars off walls. Tires were blowing to the point where it felt like his own right fronts were ticking time bombs. Somehow, Edwards kept things together and backflipped his way into Victory Lane in Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. The No. 19 car led 276 of a possible 500 laps after starting on the pole. It's Edwards' 26th win of his career and his first of 2016.    NASCAR provided the requisite backflip: Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished second, his third time already this season coming one spot short of a win. Kurt Busch, Chase Elliott and Trevor Bayne rounded out the top five. One of the most notable finishes of the day was from the rela...

It almost seems to be turning into a routine for Nico Rosberg—another race, another win. The Mercedes driver won his sixth straight Formula One race on Sunday at the Chinese Grand Prix, extending his lead in the championship to 36 points over his team-mate, Lewis Hamilton. And what to make of Hamilton, who has not stood on the top step of the podium since last October, at the U.S. Grand Prix? His results this season are trending in the wrong direction, as he finished second in Australia, third in Bahrain and now seventh in China. Are Hamilton's recent results merely part of the normal ebbs and flows of grand prix racing, or has some complacency crept in after back-to-back championships? Or perhaps it is all just bad luck. From the be...

Nico Rosberg claimed his third straight victory of the 2016 Formula One season in Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix at the Shanghai International Circuit. The German secured his first pole position of the new campaign on Saturday and was allowed to take another routine win in the race as his nearest rivals yet again pressed their self-destruct buttons in the early stages. Sebastian Vettel was among those who proved to be their own worst enemies, with the four-time world champion colliding with Ferrari team-mate Kimi Raikkonen at Turn 1. After recovering to second place, Vettel did not hesitate when it came to blaming Daniil Kvyat for the incident as the Red Bull driver celebrated his second-ever top-three result. On a weekend Lewis Hamilton's sub...

Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg made it three wins in a row at the start of the 2016 Formula One season on Sunday, producing a virtuoso performance to take the chequered flag at the Chinese Grand Prix. After a chaotic beginning to the race saw a host of positional changes, the German showed his class to pull comfortably away from the field. There were some thrilling tussles behind, though, which saw Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull’s Daniil Kvyat come home in second and third place, respectively. Reigning champion Lewis Hamilton, who started at the back of the grid, recovered well to finish in seventh, as he ran into more trouble on race day. Rosberg’s immaculate drive, his sixth in succession overall, sees him extend ...
