Maybe Saturday night is when Kyle Larson wins his first race as a rookie. Or perhaps the Chase-bound Aric Almirola can pick up his second win of the season. Or maybe it’s finally Ricky Stenhouse Jr.’s chance to become a winner in the Cup series. It seems like every week when going over the practices, the same names keep popping up and most of them have Hendrick Chevy engines, so it’s refreshing to see some new names look like solid contenders with a great shot at winning....

Churchillian it isn’t. But Cameron has a problem with the past, his party’s and his own. His Tories are on a roll; one poll last week gave them a clear seven-point lead over Labour. But the party is still struggling to recast itself not merely as a natural home for the rich and privileged, but also for more modern voters interested in social conscience as well as tax cuts. To do that, Cameron needs all the street cred that his media spinmeisters can muster....

British Defence Minister Ben Wallace announced the military aid on Thursday, saying the supplies will be “incredibly important in helping Ukraine dominate the battlefield.” “If President Putin is banking on us getting bored this year, he’s wrong,” Wallace told reporters during a meeting with other defense ministers at an army base in Estonia. “We will plan for this year and next year and the year after and beyond. We are in it for the long haul....

Peter Lalor, chief cricket writer and beer editor for The Australian, was watching the Ashes Cricket Series in the hotel bar at the Malmaison in Manchester on Sunday. When he went to pay for his Scottish Caledonian Deuchars IPA, Lalor sensed something was wrong. “I didn’t have my reading glasses when she presented me with a bill for the beer,” he tweeted, “and when she had some problems with the machine I didn’t think much of it, but it was eventually resolved....

Woods was among the favorites entering the tournament, but finished his opening round near the bottom of the leaderboard — 12 shots back of early clubhouse leader J. B. Holmes and in 144th place. After the round, a discouraged Woods told reporters (via Golf Channel) that he’s sore and was having trouble moving in the cool, damp conditions that left him needing treatment. “Just the way it is,” he said, “and just the way it’s gonna be....

For just the second time in the history of the British Open, the tournament will be played outside of England and Scotland, returning to Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland for the first time since 1951. “Local” favorite Rory McIlroy owns the course record of 61, a score he totaled when he was just 16 years old. Francesco Molinari is the defending British Open champion and finished fifth at the Masters but has just a lone win on the PGA Tour this year....

Fans of the singer have since speculated on the meaning behind the new title, with some tying it to the date of the change (September 8), while others think it could be a tip-off to forthcoming news of a new project. Currently, Spears is riding high on the success of “Hold Me Closer,” her recent collaboration with Elton John. The song—based on John’s classic “Tiny Dancer” with references to his other tracks including “The One” and “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”—became an instant hit after it dropped last month....

Osweiler got his first career start Sunday in Chicago. PHOTOS: Manning through the years | Why Broncos must bench Manning Benched midway through last week’s game against the Chiefs, Manning, 39, is dealing with a partially torn plantar fascia in his left foot in addition to rib and shoulder issues. According to CBS Sports, it’s very unlikely that coach Gary Kubiak will put Manning back in the lineup until he is able to practice regularly in game preparation....

Hackett was the 18th coach in franchise history. The Broncos have gone through three hiring and firing cycles since 2016 that also includes Vance Joseph and Vic Fangio. For their 19th coach, the Broncos need to have quarterback Russell Wilson most in mind. Wilson had a rough ride with Hackett and needs help to operate in a more functional, better schemed offense. He also could use a leader whom he can respect like he did in the early days with Pete Carroll in Seattle....

Lock appears to have gotten a key endorsement early in the process from Broncos receiver Courtland Sutton. In an interview with Ryan Edwards and Benjamin Allbright on the team’s flagship radio station, KOA in Denver, Sutton said he “saw a lot of promise” from Lock down the stretch last season while watching from the sideline. He also said he has seen Lock put in the work this offseason to continue improving....

The guard could have earned $5.5 million this past season with the Eagles, but wound up signing a one-year, $2.5 million deal with the Broncos. Does he think about the $3 million he left on the table in Philadelphia?

Denver was able to eke out a 16-9 win in its home opener Sunday against the Texans. However, many of the issues that plagued Hackett and his staff against the Seahawks showed up again in Week 2. The most prevalent issue was Hackett’s clock management. The Broncos struggled to get properly lined up and snap the ball before the expiration of the play clock on Sunday. That caused the team to burn timeouts at inopportune times while taking several key delay-of-game penalties....
