(Derik Hamilton / AP) Just when will Tony Stewart drive in a NASCAR race again? Stewart will miss his third straight race since the Aug. 9 incident in which he struck and killed driver Kevin Ward Jr. during a sprint-car race on a dirt track in upstate New York, and it is unclear when he will return. “Stewart’s plans for upcoming Sprint Cup races have yet to be determined,” his…

Canada won two medals as the Pan Pacific Swimming Championships opened on a chilly Thursday evening in Gold Coast, Australia. Brittany MacLean of Etobicoke, Ont., continued her outstanding 2014, once again lowering her national record to win bronze in the 800-metre freestyle. MacLean’s time of 8:20.02 was good for third place in the 16-lap race behind American Katie Ledecky and New Zealand’s Lauren Boyle. It’s the second Canadian record in…

She’s pitch perfect — and apparently worth a lot of money. A ball allegedly signed by 13-year-old pitching ace Mo’ne Davis — a breakout star of this year’s Little League World Series — fetched a winning bid Wednesday of $510 on eBay. The initial asking price was $9.99, but the bids jumped considerably after the Philadelphia phenom won admiration for her 70-mile-per-hour fastball that helped her to throw a…

Last weekend’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Michigan International Speedway was shaping up to be a big day for Brad Keselowski Racing.

Founded in August 2012, Fancred calls itself the world’s fastest growing sports social network.  While that claim may be a stretch, the fact that Fancred just raised $3 million to go with its existing $1.5 million financing round should go a long way in making the company a worthy destination for sports fans to consume information and interact with others who have like minded interests.  The completion of the new $3 million financing round…

Denny Hamlin was clearly frustrated a week ago at Michigan, when some jockeying for position led to a confrontation with Dale Earnhardt Jr. after the race. His Toyota engine is at the root of Hamlin’s displeasure and the manufacturer doesn’t disagree. Hamlin said after Sunday’s race that he’s doing everything he can to keep up with the Hendrick Motorsports engines. “We need to be better,” said David Wilson, president of…

In this article, we will all argue about the meaning of the word “underrated.” What is an underrated baseball player? Is it the respectable player who never makes an All-Star team, never signs a deal longer than two years, and often finds himself fighting for a job in the spring? Is it the occasional All-Star who never gets MVP votes? Is it the perennial All-Star who never wins the…
