Seems like everyone except the boss is hoping Dale Earnhardt Jr. runs the 2018 Advance Auto Parts Clash at Daytona. Landing last week’s pole for the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway gave Earnhardt an automatic spot in February’s Clash and the personal validation he felt he needed to consider interrupting his retirement from full-time racing for the annual exhibition race. Not so automatic: approval from Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s…

Kyle Busch hopes his Kentucky Speedway magic has enough shelf life to put him back in victory lane. He’ll have two chances to find out after discovering there’s plenty in reserve. The 2015 NASCAR Cup champion isn’t exactly panicking with a third-place points standing entering Saturday night’s 400-mile race at Kentucky Speedway. On the other hand, Busch arrived here last summer with three victories in hand before adding another at…

In America, baseball is the first: the first love, the first to capture our imagination, the first to radio and TV, the first to integrate, the first to innovate. It’s America’s pastime, because it was born in America and it is America. But along the way, we’ve grown jaded. While society sped up, with its smartphones, social media, rapid-fire dribs and drabs of information and quickly shifting news cycles, baseball…

Which college athletic program had the best season in 2016-17? We here at CBS Sports decided to find out, and an odd season in which no one program truly dominated the collegiate landscape (as has happened in the past) left us with our closest results ever. Florida State (491.25) edged rival Florida (489.75) thanks in large part to its success in women’s basketball. The two Sunshine State programs were followed…

June 29,1941: Joe DiMaggio tops George Sisler’s 41-game hit streak on his way to 56. Sports and streaks go together like bacon and more bacon. Panthers fans surely remember their team’s recent 18-game winning streak in regular season games – an NFC record. Not as many recall Carolina’s streak of 13 consecutive lost coin tosses back in 2012, though it was a big enough deal at the time that fans…

Officials at the largest youth soccer organization in South Carolina are asking parents to remain silent for a whole month while watching league games from the sidelines, following incidents of bad behavior from spectators. “We saw a real uptick in poor behavior on the sidelines by parents at all levels and ages and we just felt as if it was time in a leadership way to do something to get…

When people discuss the problems with US youth soccer, they often point their fingers at the pay-to-play structure, which prices many players out of the game, or its lack of professional infrastructure. One thing, however, that few people discuss is embezzlement. You don’t have to look far to find examples of the breadth of the problem. In recent years, teams as far afield as small town New Hampshire and California’s…

Christopher Pasatieri/Getty Images There were Crying Jordan memes all over the internet last week. To be fair, there are probably Crying Jordan memes all over it every week, for one reason or another. But this time they fit, because Tim Tebow had just hit his fourth minor league home run. Michael Jordan only hit three. There’s no real reason to compare Tebow to Jordan, except that who else could you…

Adam Engel was in Charlotte, getting ready for bed May 27, when his phone rang. The White Sox outfielder didn’t answer, though, because the call was from a California number — and it was 1:30 a.m. Then Engel, playing for the Knights in Triple A, received a voice mail alert. “I normally go to bed earlier but I was checking in on what was going on (in Chicago),” Engel said….

The NASCAR Xfinity Series race ending under caution at Daytona International Speedway. Photo credit: Sarah Crabill/Getty Images There’s a thing southern folks like to say, and surely you’ve heard it before: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” That’s what NASCAR did by making “overtime” rules at the start of the 2016 season, and it’s gone about as well as enrolling a cat in swim lessons. And maybe, just maybe,…

Listen to Andreas Koukorinis, founder of UK sports betting company Stratagem, and you’d be forgiven for thinking that soccer games are some of the most predictable events on Earth. “They’re short duration, repeatable, with fixed rules,” Koukorinis tells The Verge. “So if you observe 100,000 games, there are patterns there you can take out.” The mission of Koukorinis’ company is simple: find these patterns and make money off them. Stratagem…

Once Christopher Bell got out of his own way, getting past competitors was pretty easy. Bell overcame an early spin to take the lead by the midpoint and held off Brandon Jones to win the rain-delayed Camping World Series NASCAR Truck race early Friday at Kentucky Speedway. All-day showers pushed back the start by more than three hours before Bell endured several issues, including the spin while being squeezed in…
