DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Late drama and emotional finishes brought the biggest running of the HSR Classic Daytona presented by IMSA to a fitting conclusion Sunday afternoon after 24 Hours of close competition at Daytona Int’l Speedway.

Seven different Run Group winners were crowned and presented with special-edition HSR Classic Daytona 24 Hour B.R.M. Chronographes, but no win was more memory stirring or emotional than Gunnar Racing in Group C with the return of the legendary Holbert Racing No. 14 Lowenbrau Special Porsche to victory lane.

Sports car racing legend Derek Bell, the now 78-year-old who was one of Holbert’s original driving stars, drove the No. 14 Porsche 962 HR1 to the finish line. This weekend’s victory came 30 years after Bell’s last overall win in the 24 Hours of Daytona in another Porsche 962 in 1989. Bell’s winning co-drivers this weekend were his son, Justin Bell, HR1 car owner Rodrigo Sales and Gunnar Jeannette.

Group C shared the track with the competitors in Group D, which also saw a former overall winner of the 24 Hours of Daytona win again on the 3.56-mile road course at Daytona Int’l Speedway.

In 2004, car owner and driver Forest Barber shared his 2003 No. 54 Doran JE4 Daytona Prototype with Terry Borcheller and two other co-drivers to score the overall 24 Hours of Daytona victory. Barber still owns the No. 54 today and joined Borcheller in celebrating the 15th Anniversary of their biggest win together with a return visit to DIS victory lane.

Lola was the featured marque of this weekend’s fifth running of the HSR Classic Daytona and the spotlight on the renown British race car manufacturer shined the brightest in Group A.

Three different 1969/1970 era Lola T70 MkIII race cars scored at least one win in Group A’s four segments, but in the end it was the 1969 No. 77 McClendon International entry of Toni Seiler that took the victory. The win was the second straight HSR Classics victory for Seiler and the McClendon team after a win last December in the HSR Classic Sebring 12 Hour at Sebring Int’l Raceway.

Former Daytona Beach resident Joao Barbosa also scored consecutive HSR Classics victories, but both of his wins were earned in this weekend’s race. Barbosa co-drove with Daytona Beach-based teammates J.C. France and Tim Jernum to win Group F in an ex-Action Express 2015 No. 9 Corvette Daytona Prototype, a car Barbosa raced in its prime.

Barbosa was also a last-minute addition in Group E to the Daytona debuting No. 7 Peugeot 908 HDi FAP of David Porter, who called on his former teammate after a heavy mist and slight rain began to fall Saturday evening.

At the wheel of the Peugeot for today’s fourth and final Group E race to the finish, Barbosa survived an unintentional contact incident at the start with three-time HSR Classic Daytona winners Rogers Motorsports and its 2005 No. 38 Motorsports Audi R8 LMP. The race-leading Audi and driver Doug Smith were knocked from contention as Barbosa went on to take the segment win and overall Group E victory with Porter.

In Group B, Alain Rüede emerged to take the lead at the halfway point in his 1982 No. 21 Chevrolet Camaro IROC and went on to score the overall group lead over not only his GT competition but a stout field of sports racers as well.

Group G was won by co-drivers Todd Napieralski and Lee Saunders in the No. 39 Chevrolet Camaro.

In addition to the seven overall winners, the top-finishing GT entries in Groups A, C, D, E and F- and the highest-placing Prototype in Group B – were each presented with B.R.M. Chronographes for a total presentation of 13 of the fine French luxury timepieces to deserving HSR Classic Daytona winners.

The father-and-son team of Grahame Bryant and Ollie Bryant took GT honors in Group A with an impressive third-place overall finish in their 1967 No. 29 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28.

Bill Heifner was the top Group C GT entry in the 1993 No. 8 Chevrolet Camaro GT1 while Richard Howe took Group D GT honors with a third place overall showing in his quick 1989 No. 19 Ford Mustang T/A.

Andy Pilgrim, who was a co-driver with Barber and Borcheller in the No. 54 Doran for their Daytona win 15 years ago, was competing at Daytona Int’l Speedway again this weekend. Pilgrim and co-driver Kent Hussey were the top GT finishers in Group E with a fourth-place overall run in the 2011 No. 53 Ferrari 458 GT3.

The Turner Motorsport 2010 No. 96 BMW Z4 Coupe of Robby Foley and Vincent Barletta was the highest finishing GT entry in Group F and also crossed the final finish line fourth overall.

With Rüede winning Group B overall in his GT Camaro, top Prototype finishers Marc Devis and Robert Blain were presented with a B.R.M. Chronographes timepiece after a great run that saw them finish second overall in the 1975 No. 8 March 75S.

The Colorado Avalanche were livid Saturday night that their teammate, Matt Calvert, lay bleeding on the ice while play continued, and it had nothing to do with the goal scored by the Vancouver Canucks.

Calvert had been hit in the head by Elias Pettersson's wrist shot and immediately fell to the ice, bleeding from the right side of his head late in the third period. But because Vancouver had possession, officials let the play continue.

"It's a f---ing joke, man," Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson told The Athletic. "Like, you want to protect a guy? The guy's got a family at home. He's laying there bleeding out of his head and they don't blow the f---ing whistle? It's a complete joke. It's an absolute joke, and they should be ashamed of themselves."

Alex Edler scored for Vancouver as play continued, though Colorado eventually won the game in overtime.

"For me, we're talking about head injuries and what not, and that's the second time now in two weeks for us that a guy takes a puck in the face and is bleeding all over the ice and [officials are] letting it go," Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said.

"He's not moving so I just think we should blow it dead. Sometimes it's a tough call to make because you're trying to let the play go and seeing if he's going to get up. But I think eventually you should just blow it dead."

Vancouver coach Travis Green said the Canucks had a similar incident recently in Winnipeg when defenseman Chris Tanev was left hobbling on the ice after blocking a shot.

"My understanding is, if you have the puck with possession, you don't blow the whistle," Green said. "Right or wrong, that's the way the rule has been for a while. We got fortunate tonight. You don't like to see someone laying down hurt like that."

The Canucks did not have a postgame update on Calvert, who eventually skated off with the aid of a trainer as blood dripped from the side of his head.

The Sydney Sixers face being without captain Ellyse Perry for the rest of the WBBL group stage after she sustained a shoulder injury against the Melbourne Renegades but are hopeful she will be fit for the finals if the Sixers secure their spot in the knockouts.

Perry landed awkwardly while diving on the boundary during the Renegades' chase on Sunday evening at Drummoyne Oval. Her discomfort was clear but she remained on the field for the rest of the match - which the Renegades won with a Courtney Webb six off the last ball - even though she was largely unable to use her right arm.

She has been diagnosed with a low grade AC injury and will certainly miss the Sixers' next match, against Hobart Hurricanes on Wednesday, before further assessment later in the week when a more precise timeline will become clear with early estimates ranging from one to three weeks on the sidelines.

The best outcome could potentially see Perry available again at the end of the month while the lengthier timescale would push things close to the finals weekend on December 7 and 8.

The Sixers are currently third in the table with 12 points from nine matches. Perry stands as the second-leading run-scorer in competition with 469 at 93.80.

The ending of the San Francisco 49ers-Arizona Cardinals game on Sunday produced a "worst-case scenario" for Caesars Sportsbook -- and also for some Cardinals bettors.

The 49ers opened as 13.5-point favorites at Caesars Sportsbook, but closed as 10-point favorites. At other Vegas sportsbooks, the spread closed at 49ers -9.5.

Down 30-26 with 2 seconds left and at their own 22-yard line, the Cardinals attempted a lateral that led to a crazy sequence in which the 49ers recovered a fumble for a touchdown. The NFL changed its extra point rule in 2018 (in the offseason after the Minneapolis Miracle), so the 49ers did not have to line up to potentially kick the extra point after time had expired, making the final score 36-26.

For Caesars, it was a "worst-case scenario," according to director of trading Jeff Davis.

"We needed the Cardinals to lose by more than 10, since no parlays lost and Arizona backers at more than 10 didn't lose," Davis told ESPN in an email. "San Francisco by 4 was no good, but by 10 was worse. We needed [them] by 11 or more."

The Cardinals built up a 16-0 lead in the first half and were winning 26-23 with 31 seconds left in the game, before surrendering a touchdown and fumbling the kickoff back to the 49ers. San Francisco ran four plays to make Arizona use its timeouts and gave the ball back to the Cardinals with 6 seconds left, setting up the ensuing touchdown.

"It just didn't work out [that] way, but I'm pretty sure some people in Vegas were happy," Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald said of what went wrong on the final play.

The damage wasn't as bad at other sportsbooks.

"Our action was split fairly evenly between 49ers -10.5 and -10," Matt Chaparales, head of content at PointsBet, told ESPN. "Our line never touched 49ers -9.5, so a good chunk of clients survived and cashed their tickets, while the rest had to settle for a tough push."

DraftKings told ESPN that 60% of bets and 61% of the handle were on the Cardinals, mostly at Arizona +10. The play didn't cause a big swing at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook.

The Cardinals were tied with the Green Bay Packers as the NFL's best team against the spread at 7-3 entering Week 11. They fell to 7-3-1.

Stefanos Tsitsipas fights back from a set down to beat Dominic Thiem in a final-set tie-break to become the youngest winner of the ATP Finals in 18 years.

Stefanos Tsitsipas says he is "really close" to winning a first Grand Slam after claiming the biggest title of his career at the ATP Finals.

The Greek, 21, beat Dominic Thiem on Sunday to become the youngest winner of the season finale since 2001, with six-time Grand Slam champion Boris Becker declaring "a superstar is born".

He made his first Slam semi-final this year and is now world number six.

"I feel like my game is getting better over time," he said.

"I believe I'm really close to being crowned a Grand Slam champion.

"I know these are strong words that I say, but I do feel like I belong to be there."

Tsitsipas, who reached the Australian Open last four in January to launch his breakthrough year, kept his nerve to beat Thiem in a tense final-set tie-break at London's O2 Arena.

He was already the youngest man to achieve wins over greats Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic before his victory on his debut at the season-ending tournament that features the year's best eight players.

"He is box office," Becker said.

"We always ask the question of where is the road going after Federer, Nadal and Djokovic.

"After this week, I think tennis is in safe hands."

Former British number one Tim Henman said Tsitsipas will be a "massive star of the future".

"It has been an unbelievable year, a breakthrough year; he came to this event to give it one last push and he will be mentally and physically exhausted because he's put so much into it," the four-time Wimbledon semi-finalist told BBC Sport.

"His quality of all-round play, he's serving big, he's looking to be aggressive at the baseline, and the stats when he is willing to come forward and finish the point have been amazing.

"Added to that is the long hair and the appeal - he will be a massive star of the future."

'Younger generation will win a Slam next year'

Tsitsipas was the youngest of four players aged 23 or under to qualify for this year's ATP Finals but as yet the younger generation has been unable to break Federer, Nadal and Djokovic's stranglehold on the sport's four major titles.

The trio have won 55 Grand Slam titles in their careers combined, including the past 12.

Thiem, 26, who has been beaten twice by Nadal in the French Open final, thinks one of the younger stars will win a first Slam in 2020.

"I think that for sure we can do it next year," the Austrian said.

"We are all playing great tennis - Sascha [Alexander Zverev], Stefanos, me, some other guys."

Tsitsipas said his work and effort meant he "deserves" to win a first Grand Slam but admitted it will be hard to stop the sport's 'big three'.

"It is really difficult for us because once they get deep in a tournament they tend to play, to get better and play better, feel better," the Greek said.

"For me, that's a really difficult task to do for players, to be able to beat them in these Grand Slams, because it's the best-of-five format, and it just gives them more chances to stay in the match.

"I think if things were best of three, it could have been much more different when it comes to Grand Slam champions over the years."

Tsitsipas 'great for tennis'

Tsitsipas was a hitting partner for Thiem when he made his debut at the ATP Finals in 2016.

The pair have a good relationship and embraced warmly on court after Tsitsipas sealed victory, with the Greek kissing opponent on the shoulder.

Tsitsipas was passionately supported across the week inside the O2 Arena, probably because of his attractive playing style, relaxed manner on court and entertaining demeanour off it.

He posed with his ATP Finals trophy alongside the tournament's ball boys and girls and has a video blog on YouTube which has 162,000 followers.

Thiem said Tsitsipas' progress is "great for tennis".

"He has a very attractive game style, one-handed backhand, comes in [to the net] a lot - a very beautiful technique, as well," the Austrian explained.

"It's great that he's up on the top. It's great that he's going to fight for the big titles in the future.

"I'm also very sure of the fact that I can challenge him in every single match we're going to play.

"I really hope that we're going to have a lot of big matches coming, the two of us."

HOMESTEAD, Fla. – Kyle Busch said during Championship 4 Media Day on Thursday that he felt like an underdog in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series title fight, but Sunday night he was anything but.

In fact, Busch was the top dog during the Ford EcoBoost 400, winning for the second time at Homestead-Miami Speedway to earn his second Cup Series championship in six years.

After a playoff run where Busch had not won during the first nine races of the postseason, he showed his best cards when they mattered most, leading five times for a race-high 120 laps en route to the win.

Busch bested Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Martin Truex Jr. on a long run to the finish Sunday night, taking the lead for good with 45 laps to go after a decisive green-flag pit cycle and never looking back after that.

In a race that has traditionally seen a late-race caution, the final 101 laps ran uninterrupted and saw Busch exhibit dominance as the temperatures cooled and the lights flickered on.

Busch weathered a back-and-forth battle with teammate Denny Hamlin for the lead early in the final stage, then started pulling away from Hamlin inside of 85 to go as his race car came to life.

After that, various maladies began befalling his competition as Busch and crew chief Adam Stevens remained perfect down the stretch.

Hamlin fell by the wayside due to overheating issues, forcing an extra pit stop, while Kevin Harvick was shuffled back after staying out 13 laps longer than the rest of his competition and Truex was already having to rally from an extra pit stop during stage two when his crew reversed the front tires on his car.

That all added up to a straightforward road to victory for Busch, who took the checkered flag 4.578 seconds in front of Truex for the 56th win of his Cup Series career, moving him into sole possession of ninth on the all-time list.

More importantly, the impeccable performance made Busch just the second active multi-time Cup Series champion, putting him in that exclusive category alongside seven-time titlist Jimmie Johnson.

As Busch celebrated on the frontstretch with his crew and began to soak in the moment, he was quick to note that his season-long performance was one built by far more people than just himself.

“We have a great race team and a great owner,” said Busch, nodding to team owner Joe Gibbs. “I just can’t say that enough or thank everyone enough for this opportunity. I may be the one that’s able to hoist the trophy or have a championship, but none of this would be possible without (crew chief) Adam Stevens, Coach Joe Gibbs, J.D. Gibbs, Coy Gibbs and the whole Gibbs family.

“This TRD engine was awesome tonight. It’s been awesome all year. We had one issue, that’s it,” Busch added. “But man, it’s so much fun to work with these guys, because everybody puts it all together for me. There are always your doubters. There are always your haters. But we are the champions tonight!”

Busch’s win was the record-setting 19th of the season in 36 races for Joe Gibbs Racing, breaking the record of 18 set by Hendrick Motorsports during Jimmie Johnson’s second championship year in 2007.

However, it was his first since June 2 at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway, a five-month and 21-race drought.

That made Sunday night’s return to the top a statement, one that Busch was particularly proud of.

“Everybody always says you never give up. We’re no different. We just do what we can do each and every week, and we showed that tonight,” Busch said. “Sometimes we may not be the best, and sometimes we may not have the right track position, but today we had a really good car and I could race around and move around. That’s what’s special about Homestead‑Miami Speedway, is its ability to put on a show.

“I felt like we did that tonight, racing all three of those guys,” Busch noted. “I know it kind of dulled out towards the end, but it was exciting enough from my seat. It was a lot of fun to cap off such an amazing year like that tonight.”

Truex came home second in the race and in the championship fight, despite his extra round of service at lap 122 to swap the front tires back, while Harvick ended up fourth in the race and third in points.

Hamlin, whose race came undone during the final pit stop after an added piece of tape made his car start overheating, ran his way back through traffic to finish 10th – lowest among the title quartet.

Notably, the year ended just like it began, with a Joe Gibbs Racing 1-2-3 finish. Erik Jones came in just behind Busch and Truex, while Harvick and outgoing series champion Joey Logano filled out the top five.

It'll take another day to decide a winner at the Mayakoba Golf Classic.

After heavy rains washed out all play on Thursday, tournament officials have been playing catch-up all weekend along the Mexican coast. That meant more than 30 holes Sunday the leaders, who began third-round play in the morning and will now return to the course at 7:30 a.m. ET Monday with Brendon Todd and Vaughn Taylor tied for the lead.

Todd started the final round with a one-shot lead and is in search of his second win in as many starts after capturing the Bermuda Championship earlier this month. He's at 20 under and will face a 20-foot birdie putt on No. 15 when play resumes.

"I feel great about my game," Todd said. "Really happy to have a chance to win this tournament coming off the win in Bermuda. Just excited to tee it up in the morning and see if we can't get another W."

Todd had a two-shot lead after rolling in a birdie on No. 12, but he failed to birdie the par-5 13th, the easiest hole on the course, and bogeyed No. 14 to drop back into a share of the lead. Taylor will return to a 5-foot par putt on the short 15th as he looks for his fourth career PGA Tour win and first since the 2016 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

One shot off the lead are Harris English, whose most recent victory came at Mayakoba five years ago, and Mexico's Carlos Ortiz. English will have a birdie putt on No. 15 when play resumes, while Ortiz has only No. 18 left to play.

In search of his maiden PGA Tour victory in front of partisan crowds, Ortiz was 5 under on the final round despite starting with a double bogey on No. 1. While his playing partners opted to play the final hole and complete the tournament in waning daylight, Ortiz chose to stay back on the tee and will face the most difficult hole on El Camaleon shortly after sunrise.

Ortiz is looking to become the first Mexican to win on Tour since Victor Regalado in 1978.

"Even from the last shot (on No. 17) it was hard to see. Putts were even hard to read," Ortiz said. "I still have a chance, so I'm just going to wait and play early in the morning."

Alone in fifth place at 18 under, two shots back with three holes remaining, is reigning Desert Classic champion Adam Long. The day's best round came from defending champ Matt Kuchar, who shot a final-round 62 that included an ace on No. 8 to finish the week in a tie for 14th at 12 under.

A total of 12 players out of the 82 who made the cut will return to complete play Monday morning. This will be the first Monday finish at Mayakoba since 2015, when Graeme McDowell defeated Russell Knox and Jason Bohn in a playoff.

A second-half injury time goal from Lazaro gave Brazil a 2-1 comeback victory over Mexico in the Under-17 World Cup final on Sunday in Brasilia.

Mexico had taken the lead through a Bryan Gonzalez header in the 66th minute and looked like it would hold on until Kaio Jorge converted a penalty in the 84th, with Lazaro the hero for Brazil with his late finish.

It was Brazil's fourth Under-17 World Cup victory, while Mexico was in its third final in the last eight years in the age group.

Brazil was backed by fervent home support, hit the crossbar twice and had a number of good opportunities to score -- outscoring Mexico 10-2 in shots on goal -- but Mexico grafted, held on and managed to keep the score at zero.

Eugenio Pizzuto swung in a deep left-wing cross from Gonzalez to give Mexico the lead and quieten the crowd, but Brazil came from two goals down to beat France in the semifinal and once again mounted a comeback.

The late challenge from Jesus Gomez on Gabriel Veron to give Brazil its penalty was the game's major talking point, with referee Andris Treimanis initially not seeing it and then checking it on VAR and awarding Brazil the penalty.

Mexico coach Jose Maria "Chema" Ruiz lamented the decision after the game, indicating the officials were selective in their use of VAR and claiming El Tri was "always the victim' during the final.

Kaio Jorge made no mistake from the penalty spot, although Mexico keeper Eduardo Garcia got close to pushing the ball out.

The goal gave Brazil the momentum to go for the winner, which Lazaro struck first time from a right-wing cross from Yan Couto to send Estadio Bezerrao wild.

Earlier in the day, Arnaud Kalimuendo-Muinga scored a hat trick to help France come from behind to beat the Netherlands 3-1 and take third place.

Dutchman Sontje Hansen won the Golden Boot for the top goalscorer with six goals.
