The event has been a season-opening NASCAR staple since 1979 and will be preceded by the pole qualifying for the Daytona 500. The race will consist of 75 laps broken into two segments — a competition caution for the first 25 laps, then a final 50-lap segment. Last year’s race winner was Joey Logano — his first ever win at the event. Lineup As with last year’s format, there is no predetermined number of drivers....

Its second event. Fyter Fest, occurred Saturday at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Fla. While the one-hour preshow “Buy-In” felt like the third hour of WWE “Monday Night Raw” (and not in a good way), the last two matches delivered, highlighted by Jon Moxley making his AEW debut and defeating Joey Janela in a bloody, violent unsanctioned match in the main event.

Ahead of the show that takes place at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, AEW founder, president and CEO Tony Khan spoke with Newsweek about coming into WWE’s backyard, as well as how AEW has become viewed by many as the more open and diverse wrestling promotion. AEW made an immediate impact on the professional wrestling scene when it launched in 2019, and it has been threatening WWE’s stranglehold on television ratings ever since....
The AFC Asian Cup qualification procedure is designed in such a way that, at times, it looks farce. Back in March 2015, a total of 46 teams had started the journey to get into the 24-team tournament to be held in United Arab Emirates (UAE) four years later. After a whopping 182 matches, which saw teams flying across the length and the breadth of world’s largest continent, only 10 teams have been eliminated from the race, including Kuwait and Indonesia who have been suspended and Guam, who have withdrawn due to financial constraints....
GROUP A: Esteghlal (IRA) vs Lokomotiv Tashkent (UZB) Group A is in the balance with all teams having secured a win each. Which is why matchday three is crucial for all four teams.

GROUP A Al Jaish (SYR) vs Al Zawra’a (IRQ): This is a clash between the two top dogs in Group A. Though Syrian outfit Al Jaish’s perfect start to the campaign was brought to an end by Al Zawra’a themselves in the reverse fixture, they still have a point more than their opponents. The Iraqi side was able to win at home but they have to repeat it away in order to take the pole position in the group which will go a long way in securing automatic progress to the next stage....

Three of the franchises selected quarterbacks in the 2018 NFL Draft, but Cleveland’s Baker Mayfield, Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson and Pittsburgh’s Mason Rudolph probably will not be on the field come Week 1. Still, it’s another piece of evidence that the division is transitioning toward the future. In the present, will anybody catch the Steelers?

Old competition like Indianapolis, Denver and Baltimore will not be factors, and Pittsburgh is running out of time to knock off Tom Brady and Bill Belichick when it counts most. But other defensive-minded powerhouses are developing in the AFC, and there might be just enough of an opening for the Patriots to suffer a mild hangover after their loss in Super Bowl 52.

The 23-year-old forward, who plies his trade at club level for Iraq’s Al Zawra’a, scored four of his goals in Iraq’s 4-0 win over Thailand back in October last year. He was also on target for Iraq in their 1-2 loss to Saudi Arabia. He has been impressive this year at club level as well, leading Al Zawra’a to the AFC Cup West Zone semifinal. However, it won’t be easy for him to win the Toyota Top Goalscorer award, given that Genki Haraguchi (Japan), Ahmed Khalil (UAE), Hassan Al-Haidos (Qatar) and Tomi Juric (Australia) are all breathing down his neck, having scored four goals each....
The translator, identified only as Abdul, spoke to CNN’s Kate Bolduan by phone on Thursday. He had worked as a translator for U.S. special forces for five years and now fears for his family’s life. He has reportedly applied for a visa to leave the country. Before speaking to Abdul, Bolduan played a recording he had submitted to a human rights attorney where he asked: “Why are the American soldiers forgetting about us after everything we did, the sacrifices we made?...
In a letter signed by several organizations, including HIAS Greece, the Danish Refugee Council and Equal Rights Beyond Borders, aid groups claim that from November 15 to 20 the Regional Asylum Office of Lesbos had “without any prior notice, served negative asylum decision on 28 asylum seekers… without conducting the legally mandatory asylum interview.” The groups said the asylum office had sought to justify its decision “on the basis of its ‘inability’ to secure interpretation for languages spoken by the asylum seekers....
Posted to the r/pics subreddit, the user, evidently named Ashley, shared the message written on the inside lid of her pizza order. “I had a bad day and asked Domino’s for a joke. I got the most wholesome note instead,” she wrote in the post. While it’s unclear if Ashley had said that she had a bad day and that was the reason that she was asking for the joke, the Domino’s employee wrote exactly the message she wanted to read....
This will not be the season anyone imagined, and not just because the Steelers have opened with two defeats. This entire team was built around Roethlisberger’s ability to conjure a dynamic offense from a collection of young skill players. Now the youngest of those, at least in a football sense, will be his replacement. Mason Rudolph, 24, was not a popular pick when he was selected in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft....
