OYAMA, Japan – Toyota Gazoo Racing announced during the Toyota Gazoo Racing Festival at Fuji Int’l Speedway that it will compete with the Lexus LC in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring for the third year in a row.

The 48th running of the twice-around-the-clock event will run from May 21-24, held at Germany’s famed Nürburgring.

The Nürburgring 24 is held at the Nürburgring in May every year, widely regarded as the world’s most grueling course and gathering close to 200 race cars.

Competing in the Nürburgring 24 is the root for Toyota Gazoo Racing’s activities, aimed at “making ever-better cars.”

Toyota Gazoo Racing has competed in every race since 2007, using race cars built by Toyota employees and raced by a team of Toyota mechanics and engineers, and 2020 will mark the company’s 14th consecutive year participating.

In 2020, Toyota Gazoo Racing will race with the Lexus LC for the third year. Despite completing the race and surviving the harsh environment of Nürburgring, the past two years have seen the Lexus LC spend several hours in the pit to resolve issues.

In 2020, the team will use what it has learned through these hard experiences and aim to complete the race without any trouble by adopting a variety of new technologies, including a newly-developed V8 twin-turbo engine destined for use on future road cars, such as sports cars.

Toyota Gazoo Racing will compete with well experienced drivers in the Nürburgring 24.

Hiroaki Ishiura, who will compete in the race for the sixth time, will be the chief driver and compete alongside Masahiro Sasaki, Kazuya Oshima, and Naoya Gamo.

“I am grateful for this opportunity to compete in the 2020 Nürburgring 24,” said Ishiura. “As I haven’t competed in the race at Nürburgring for some time, I am very excited, but I also feel some responsibility as the setting leader. This project has accumulated considerable expertise through continuous car making every year, and we hope to use that expertise to develop even faster and safer cars that everyone can enjoy.

“There are many elements that can be refined only under the harsh environment of the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, and I think this gives great meaning to taking on this challenge,” he added. “By combining everyone’s strengths to refine the Lexus LC, I hope to provide feedback for reliable car making, accumulate technologies, and contribute to making ever-better cars. I look forward to receiving everyone’s support.”

INDIANAPOLIS – Crate Racin’ USA has announced the schedule for the third annual Winter Shootout Series for the Crate Racin’ USA Dirt Late Model Series.

The Crate Racin’ USA Winter Shootout Series features eight races at four venues in three states.

The Crate Racin’ USA Winter Shootout Series opens with the 29th Annual Icebowl at Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, Ala., on Jan. 2-5, with the main event paying $3,000-to-win. The defending and two-time Crate Racin’ USA Winter Shootout Series Champion Jimmy Elliott took the win last year.

Crate Racin’ USA will travel to the Sunshine State on Jan. 15 through 18 for their first visit to Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla., for the Sunshine Nationals that will be co-sanctioned by DIRTcar Racing. Volusia will host an open practice on Jan. 15 before three straight nights of racing.

Volusia Speedway Park will host the Crate Racing USA Dirt Late Model Series on Jan. 16 for a $1,500-to-win main event. Night two on Jan. 17 will feature a $2,000-to-win main event. The grand finale of the Sunshine Nationals will be a $10,000 main event on Jan. 18.

The Crate Racin’ USA Dirt Late Model Series will return to East Bay Raceway Park in Gibsonton, Fla., for the first time since 2012 on Jan. 29-Feb. 1 for the 44th annual East Bay Winternationals. East Bay Raceway Park will host an open practice on Jan. 29.

The Crate Racin’ USA Dirt Late Model Series has been known as the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series for the past two years. Earlier this year, Kyle Durrence sold Durrence Layne Chevrolet, Buick, GMC in Claxton, Ga., thus ending the two-year sponsorship of the series. Durrence bought the dealership from Martin NeSmith in 2018.

“We appreciate everything Kyle Durrence and the staff of Durrence Layne Chevrolet, Buick, GMC has done for Crate Racin’ USA, our family of tracks, and our competitors over the past two years,” Crate Racin’ USA Series Director Adam Stewart said. “Kyle Durrence was very enthusiastic about Crate Racin’ USA while he owned the dealership, and we wish him well in the future.”

INDIANAPOLIS – Christian Eckes and the Venturini Motorsports team collected the lion’s share of the awards during Saturday night’s ARCA Menards Series championship awards banquet at the Indiana State Convention Center.

Eckes won four times in 2019 his way to the championship, which he won by 25 points over his teammate Michael Self.

Eckes, who is moving to the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series with Kyle Busch Motorsports in 2020, told the gathered audience he owed a debt of gratitude to the Venturini family for his success.

“I came to Venturini Motorsports when I was just a little guy,” Eckes said. “I grew up with Bill and Cathy and Billy and Emily and they feel like family to me. We’ve come a long way together, and to have this success we’ve had is something I will remember forever.”

Eckes again thanked his team for their hard work and dedication throughout and up-and-down season.

“There were a lot of 2 a.m. phone calls and texts with me and (crew chief) Kevin Reed,” he said. “None of us were happy with how the first part of the season went. In fact, I still get a little frustrated at it because I knew we were all better than that. But Kevin and the team worked hard every week and got us back to where we needed to be. This championship is theirs as much as it is mine.”

Although he finished second in the standings, runner-up Self paid tribute to Eckes as he addressed the over 300 attendees in the Sagamore Ballroom.

“It has been a great honor to race alongside you and to get to know you as a competitor and as a friend,” Self said to Eckes from the stage. “I will always take a lot of pride in the conversations we had, whether it was just making jokes to each other or talking about how to become better racecar drivers. Although, around lap 70 at Kansas I was kind of wishing I didn’t share as many of those secrets with you. But like everyone else here in this room, we can’t wait to see what is in store for you in the future.”

Team owner Billy Venturini also spoke about his championship season, a season in which his organization won fourteen times and claimed both the driver’s championship with Eckes and the owner’s championship with the No. 20 car.

“To all my team in the shop, thank you,” Venturini said. “We couldn’t do this without you. You are the backbone of what we do and we are all proud to have accomplished this together as a team. To all of the up-and-coming drivers out there, they need to look at what Christian has done as use him as the template for themselves.

“Everything he does, he does to become a better race car driver and a better person. He had shoulder surgery in the off-season to make himself a better race car driver. And you know, he’s already a damn good driver and he’s an even better person. We’ve worked with a lot of really good race car drivers and Christian, you are definitely one of the very best.”

ARCA president Ron Drager opened the evening’s festivities by presenting the coveted ARCA championship rings to Eckes and Venturini, then stayed on stage to present the Marcum Award to NASCAR Vice Chairman Mike Helton.

“Mr. Helton has been a long-time supporter of ARCA, first as a track operator at places like Atlanta, Daytona, and Talladega, and then with ISC and then with NASCAR,” Drager said. “That support has never wavered, and everyone in ARCA owes their thanks to everything he has done for us over the years.”

CONCORD, N.C. — Roger Penske, in his long and glorious motorsports career, has several houses worth of trophies and other awards.

Winning 18 Indianapolis 500s, a couple of Daytona 500s and pretty much every meaningful race around the world kind of makes that a foregone conclusion.

In late October, Penske received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Donald Trump.

That symbol of success, I would imagine, will make its way to the head of the trophy case and stay there, since it is the highest award a civilian can earn in this country.

Penske is not only a racing icon, he’s a businessman of much repute.

Penske Corp. has auto sales, truck leasing and transportation logistics businesses around the world that employ more than 63,000 and are worth in excess of $31 billion.

This is a man, in all the years I’ve known him and known of him, who is always in charge, always has a plan and always surrounds himself with hard-working, talented people.

Yet, having the Presidential Medal of Freedom clasped behind your neck was an honor he had never received.

It showed. According to the Detroit Free Press, Penske said that medal “means more than any business success or motorsports trophy” he’d ever earned.

In doing so, the Pennsylvania native became only the second motorsports icon to wear it. “The King,” Richard Petty, received the honor from President George H.W. Bush in 1992.

As a motorsports writer and (as I get older) historian, that seems a bit light for our sport. Petty and Penske are deserving, but so are many others. A.J. Foyt and Mario Andretti stand at the top of that list as icons of the sport and there is significant precedent for athletes to receive it.

Among the recipients are a preponderance of baseball players, 13 in all, and several other athletic icons, including Jesse Owens, Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali and Jack Nicklaus.

There are nine basketball players, four from the golfing world and a couple from the football world.

Of course, people like Neil Armstrong, Stephen Hawking and Mother Teresa are also in the club. It is, indeed, rarefied air.

If you want to drill down on the auto racing folk who would be in the running, the late Tony Hulman is one man who should have gotten it years ago. Almost single-handedly, Hulman kick-started racing after World War II, at least the Indy car part of it.

Bill France had a similar impact on stock car racing a few years later.

Penske the racer and Penske the businessman are one and the same. The same effort that went into building Penske Corp. went into building Team Penske, and they seem to be run the same way —professionally.

Winning on the track and winning in the board room, I would guess, are treated the same way, too.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is bestowed sparingly, and those who are awarded it are titans of their respective fields. Penske is no different.

Anyone with the moniker “The Captain” is very nearly a shoo-in.

Trump was lavish in his praise of Penske, too, saying, “All this guy does is win.” Trump likes winners, and Penske obviously fits that description.

Congratulations to “The Captain” on his award, and it is richly deserved.

With all the attention ball players, hoopsters and golfers get in this regard, it is high time that motorsports gets its turn on the stage as well.

Day 1: 68 overs of play
Day 2: 17.5 overs
Day 3: 5.2 overs
Day 4: Called off without a ball (teams remained at hotel)
Day 5: Predictable draw

Nine sessions of the Rawalpindi Test were effectively washed out but a full house still turned up for the final day's play and they were treated to a remarkable innings from Abid Ali. The 32-year old became the first male cricketer to score a century on both his Test and ODI debuts but even his performance couldn't distract from the fact that the return of Test cricket to Pakistan - the end of 10 years of exile - literally turned into a washout.

No ground outside of Rawalpindi and Karachi was considered to host the Sri Lanka Tests, although originally the series itself was expected to take place in October, the best time for cricket in Pakistan.

So, over the last four days as rain doused the prospect of an outright result, the PCB has been under the spotlight for their choice of venue. The last 10 Test matches played in northern Punjab in the month of December have all failed to produce a result with an exception of one game against Zimbabwe in 1993. There was one Test in Faisalabad which was abandoned without a ball bowled. Another, in Gujranwala, had weather that was good enough for only 36 overs of cricket.

Even so, Rawalpindi was the best option available to the PCB. Multan, Faisalabad and Peshawar have not been upgraded well enough to host international cricket again. Lahore and Karachi do but one city is experiencing heavy smog and the other will host the second Test on Thursday.

In the aftermath of the 2009 attacks, logistics - direct flights in and out - and security clearances play a huge part in any match that is played in Pakistan. PCB had prioritised getting Lahore and Karachi ready first and had only recently invited ICC security consultant Reg Dickason to assess the state of affairs in Rawalpindi. Multan is next on the list; it is currently being considered to host four games in PSL 2020. Peshawar is already under renovation. Faisalabad, however, is yet to receive much attention.

Dhananjaya de Silva has rated his 102 not out in Rawalpindi the second-best of his six centuries, behind his maiden ton, against Australia in 2016.

Having arrived at the crease on the first afternoon, with Sri Lanka losing four wickets for 31 runs, de Silva steadied the innings alongside Angelo Mathews, Niroshan Dickwella, and Dilruwan Perera, with whom he forged 50-plus partnerships. Most impressively, he saw through gloomy conditions on successive days, with Pakistan's quickest bowlers operating. The floodlights were switched on throughout his stays at the crease on the first, second and third days. He also applied himself despite having to repeatedly start over, given the frequent weather interruptions.

"I think this is my second-best hundred after my first one, definitely," de Silva said. He has previously also struck a match-saving century in Delhi despite having been seriously affected by the smog during that Test. "It was very tricky in the first few days. All four Pakistan bowlers were brilliant in those conditions. It was very dark and seaming and gloomy. Everything was happening for the bowlers. Playing here and getting a hundred with my name on the honours board - I'm feeling proud about that."

This is de Silva's second century in successive matches, after he had also hit a hundred against New Zealand in the second Test in Colombo, back in August. De Silva's 2019 run aggregate is second only to that of Dimuth Karunaratne. No other Sri Lanka batsman has hit more than one century this year.

"As the match went on it was very easy for me - I saw the ball very well," de Silva said. "I don't know why - I got a century back in Sri Lanka too. I think I saw the ball well because I'm in form. On day five it was the best wicket we saw across the five days. It was seaming in the first few days, but there was nothing on the fifth day."

If de Silva is entering a more consistent phase of his career, it may be because he has finally been given a consistent role in the side. He has batted everywhere from No. 3 to No. 9 for Sri Lanka, but where he averages 35.22 overall, he now has an average of 49.81 from No. 6.

"I've now got three centuries at No. 6, so I think it's a very suitable position for me," he said. "I've batted in the lower order for a little while now, and because my position is settled it becomes easier.

"I have to bowl 10 or 15 overs in a Test innings as well, and it's tough to do that and also open the innings, or bat at No. 3. No. 6 is generally a spot occupied by someone who bowls as well, and the team can use me as a bowler when I'm down there."

Tim Paine lauded the efforts of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins, plus the vital role of Nathan Lyon, after his three-man attack wrapped up a thumping victory against New Zealand in Perth.

He admitted he kept one eye on the workloads of his quicks after Josh Hazlewood went down in his second over of the match but was confident they would get through the hard yards. They did it with such effect that, across two innings, Australia only bowled 120.5 overs in the match and earned an extra day off to recover.

Hazlewood had already made one breakthrough before he pulled up after eight deliveries on the second day and Paine conceded he glanced around the field at the options he had up his sleeve. In the end, he dipped into Matthew Wade, Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head at different times but the majority of the work was done by his remaining big three who are now the three leading wicket-takers for the year.

"I thought, gee, I wish we had an allrounder," Paine said of the moment Hazlewood went down. "I was very surprised Josh got injured because he hasn't for a little while. But I know that Starcy and Pat and Josh are great athletes. So I knew we could handle the load particularly when we have Nathan in our side who can bowl lots of overs. I think Marnus coming in and playing in our side also gives us another option which is lucky.

"The conversation was around making sure we had those two big boys fresh come five down in the second innings. And I thought we managed it really well so that when we were bowling to their tail they still had a bit of energy and speed up their sleeves."

"There were times where we just bowled a bit of spin or let Wadey go for a few overs and used Heady for a bit today to break up time so we could make sure that Mitch and Pat were getting the rest. We certainly weren't going to bowl them into the ground. We thought we could still get the job done with those conditions in our favour with Nathan in our side and not have to flog them to death. Because they are obviously hugely valuable for the rest of this series and in all three formats for Australia we wanted to make sure we managed them correctly and didn't ruin their series."

"Granted we have some players back which is helping, but there's been improvement in the guys who were given a chance 18 months ago." Tim Paine

Australia are forging a very impressive home season following their two innings victories against Pakistan with this 296-run victory against No. 2-ranked team in the world. Paine picked out the second-innings collapse, where they lost 7 for 58, as the one period where they slipped from their high expectations but, as had before the match, referenced the strides made since he took on the captaincy.

"Certainly over the last 18 months there's been drastic improvement in this team. Granted we have some players back which is helping, but there's been improvement in the guys who were given a chance 18 months ago and the experienced players have come back and put some icing on the top. We are moving in the right direction."

This was also a victory with a limited contribution from Steven Smith who made 43 and 16, falling to Neil Wagner's short ball on both occasions. With Head scoring a half-century in the first innings Smith is now the only one of the top six not to pass fifty in Test so far this season.

"It's been great, we touched on that at the end of the Ashes that we needed other guys to stand up and can't be reliant on Steve," Paine said. "We are really pleased with Marnus, he's been unbelievably good, Davey [Warner] and Joe [Burns] have been scoring runs and that's what we'll all have to be doing if we are to one of the better teams in the world which we want to be. Guys have got to stand up, we can't rely on too few. We are really happy with the way our batting has developed."

Hazlewood's replacement will be named later this week with Justin Langer suggesting Peter Siddle was in line for a recall with the potential for further tweaks ahead of the Sydney Test where the pitch could favour spin.

James "Radio" Kennedy, a man with an intellectual disability who befriended a high school football team in South Carolina and was the inspiration for a 2003 film, died Sunday morning, former T.L. Hanna football coach Harold Jones confirmed.

Kennedy, who had been battling health problems, was 73. Jones said Kennedy died at a hospice facility in Anderson, South Carolina.

"It's sad. It's very sad for us," Jones said. "Everybody loved him at the school and anybody he met loved him. He was just so outgoing and loved to hug you."

According to Jones, Kennedy first showed up at football practices at a middle school in Anderson in the mid-1960s. He started going to Hanna High in the early 1970s, usually holding a transistor radio to his ear and pushing his belongings in a shopping cart.

Kennedy liked to mimic the coaches on the sideline, gesturing and yelling at players. Instead of kicking Kennedy out of practice, Jones and the other coaches befriended him. Jones and his wife, Linda, helped care for Kennedy over the last five decades.

Sportswriter Gary Smith wrote about their friendship in a Sports Illustrated feature in 1996, which led to a Hollywood film starring Cuba Gooding Jr. as Radio.

Kennedy was an "unofficial" junior at T.L. Hanna High School -- the highest grade he could finish without having to graduate and leave -- and rode the bus to and from school. He took special-education classes, worked in the cafeteria and served as a team manager and assistant coach at football games.

Jones said Kennedy had been living with his niece, Jackie Kennedy, and younger brother, George Kennedy, known as "Cool Rock."

The school unveiled a bronze life-sized statue of Kennedy at its football stadium in 2006. He was inducted into the T.L. Hanna Athletic Hall of Fame in 2016.

"He's an icon as far as we're concerned," Jones said. "He's been loved all over -- not just in Anderson and the state but all over the country."

Although he is not on an NFL roster Sunday, there is every reason to believe that former New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins will be playing as soon as next weekend, and likely for a playoff contender, league sources told ESPN.

The bigger questions are whether Jenkins will clear waivers Monday or Tuesday, and how much money he will make.

If Jenkins clears waivers Monday as an injured player -- he has been nursing a minor ankle injury -- he would revert to the Giants' injured reserve list. But the Giants also could waive him off it, which they would be expected to do, meaning Jenkins would go on waivers a second time from Monday to Tuesday.

League sources believe that a playoff contender that has a need at cornerback, such as the Houston Texans or Kansas City Chiefs, could put in a claim or try to sign him after he clears waivers, according to sources. Any team that claims Jenkins would owe him two weeks of salary at $597,000 per week -- just under $1.2 million for the remainder of this season, along with a 2020 contract that is scheduled to pay him $11.25 million.

For now, Jenkins doesn't know whether he will clear waivers Monday, clear waivers Tuesday, be claimed by another team or have his choice of teams to sign with on Tuesday.

But the belief is that despite nursing an ankle sprain, Jenkins could be in a new locker room and back on the field as soon as next weekend.

The Giants waived Jenkins on Friday, two days after he made an inappropriate remark to a fan on Twitter. Jenkins called a critical fan a "retard" when taking exception to questioning about why the stats Jenkins was using to showcase his effectiveness weren't contributing to victories.

Jenkins said Thursday that the usage of the word was "slang" that is "just part of my culture." Giants coach Pat Shurmur met with Jenkins on Wednesday and said in a statement Friday that Jenkins' refusal to admit that what he did was wrong led to his release.

ESPN's Jordan Raanan contributed to this report.
