BRASELTON, Ga. – The HSR Fall Classic concluded Sunday at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, where three feature races and the final round of WeatherTech Sprint races produced even more winners in a competitive weekend of racing.

Sunday’s full schedule began at 8:10 a.m. EDT with the one-hour B.R.M Chronographes Endurance Challenge race for Historic, Prototype and GT Modern (GTM) competitors.

The overall and Prototype class B.R.M. victory went to the Hudson Historics 2009 No. 230 Corvette Daytona Prototype of William Hubbell.

The winner shared the podium with Dominick Incantalupo who co-drove the 2011 No. 54 Roin Realty Holdings Oreca FLM09 with Sean Rayhall to second place overall and in the Prototype class.

Price Ford and Cody Ellsworth finished third overall and scored the GTM victory in the 2015 No. 12 Autometrics/Team Racerink Porsche GT3 Cup. The win was the second HSR endurance race victory of the year for Ford and Ellsworth, who also captured B.R.M. Challenge GTM honors last May in the HMSA/HSR race at Barber Motorsports Park.

The overall B.R.M. Challenge top five was completed by the final two podium placing GTM competitors. Charles Craig and Cory Friedman drove the Autometrics 2007 No. 26 Porsche 997 RSR to fourth overall and second in class. Francesco Melandri soloed to fifth overall and third in GTM in the 1996 No. 96 Porsche 993 KMR GT2/Evo.

The B.R.M. Challenge Historic class win was earned by Hartmut von Seelen and Kevin Wheeler in the 1973 No. 51 Porsche 911 prepared by KMW Motorsports.

While the B.R.M. Challenge race kicked Sunday’s schedule off at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, a combined afternoon HSR Global GT and HSR Classic RS Cup sprint wrapped up the weekend’s HSR Feature Race schedule.

The overall and Global GT victory went to Ray Evernham who wheeled his unique 1936 No. 19 Chevrolet “Ghost” to its second win of the weekend. Evernham also won Saturday’s WeatherTech Sprint Group 9 race in “Ghost” in addition to loaning his 1965 No. 19 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster to NASCAR Legend Bill Elliott for a winning effort in Friday’s Sasco Sports International/American Challenge race.

Evernham shared the overall Global GT podium with runner-up David Richardson in the FlatSix Motorsports 2007 No. 06 Porsche 997 GT3 Cup and Craig, who made it two podium finishes on the day in the Autometrics 2007 No. 26 Porsche 997 RSR.

The HSR Classic RS Cup race saw Todd Treffert seal a perfect three-for-three-win record in this weekend’s HSR Fall Classic Feature Races in the Speedconcepts 1974 No. 14 Porsche 911 IROC. After victories Friday in the Sasco Sports Porsche class, and overall in the B.R.M Chronographes Endurance Challenge race on Saturday, Treffert completed the triple play with the Classic RS Cup win Sunday afternoon.

Mike Banz finished second in the Classic RS Cup race in his Heritage Motorsports 1974 No. 13 Porsche 911 RSR while Ben McGraw was third in the 1973 No. 00 Porsche 911.

From Cameron Champ's emotional reaction after winning the Safeway Open to Rory McIlroy's criticism of European Tour course setups, here are the top quotes from the week in golf:

“No matter if I win one more tournament, 10 more tournaments, whatever it may be, this will be the greatest moment of my golf career.” – Cameron Champ after winning the Safeway Open while his grandfather battles terminal stomach cancer

“I’m sort of honestly sick of coming back over to the European Tour and shooting 15 under par and finishing 30th.” – Rory McIlroy on European Tour course setups

“I got the clearance last week to start full practice, and so I played nine holes the other day. It’s sore, yeah, but now I can start lifting and getting my muscle back and getting my weight up.” – Tiger Woods, speaking to Michael Strahan about his recovery from knee surgery

“They beat the hell out of us.” – Gary Player after Sen. Lindsey Graham and Annika Sorenstam beat he and Donald Trump on the golf course

“It does because he’s Tiger. I mean, he matters. That’s the bottom line. It’s better when he plays than when he doesn’t, even if he only plays two matches. It’s better for the event if he does. I guess he has to decide if it’s better for his team or not.” – Adam Scott on why it matters that Tiger Woods plays the Presidents Cup

Cameron Champ birdied the 72nd hole at Silverado Resort and Spa and held off Adam Hadwin for his second PGA Tour victory at the Safeway Open. Here's a look inside his bag.

Here are the complete purse and FedExCup breakdowns for the Safeway Open, where Cameron Champ defeated Adam Hadwin by a shot:

NAPA, Calif. – Cameron Champ’s second career PGA Tour victory brought with it his first Masters invite.

When Champ won last year’s Sanderson Farms Championship, he didn’t receive any mail from Augusta, Ga., because the tournament was an opposite-field event played against the WGC-HSBC Champions. The victory put him within reach of a Masters spot via the world rankings, but a slow spring ended those aspirations and he missed the first major this year.

Sunday’s one-shot win at Silverado Resort & Spa came with a heavy heart, with much of Champ’s focus an hour away with his grandfather, Mack, who is in in-home hospice battling terminal stomach cancer. Champ shared that he opted not to play Augusta National until he had earned his way into the exclusive field, and he dedicated the invite to his ailing grandfather.

“I think just knowing that I did it, that was my last gift to him,” Champ said. “I told myself I’m going to make the Masters, I’m going to figure out a way, play my butt off.”

Champ spent the early part of the week commuting an hour each way to the course from his home in Sacramento to maximize the time he could spend with his grandfather, whose condition has prevented him from eating anything other than popsicles for the past three weeks. He learned the game from him at a young age, even having “Pops” caddie for him at age 71 when Champ played in the 2012 Pure Insurance Championship at Pebble Beach as part of the First Tee.

While he’s not optimistic that his grandfather will be able to watch him hit that first shot among the Georgia pines next spring, it was a welcome incentive to receive and celebrate on an emotional day.

“If he can hold on until April, that would be awesome,” Champ said. “Obviously the circumstances are a little different, but I think just him knowing that I made it and I did it will definitely satisfy him.”

LAFC's Carlos Vela tied the Major League Soccer single-season goals record of 31 on Sunday in his team's 1-1 draw at Minnesota United.

Vela fired a looping, left-footed shot into the far corner from an LAFC counterattack in the 70th minute at Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Vela, 30, is now level with Atlanta United's Josef Martinez, who just broke the record held by Roy Lassiter, Chris Wondolowski and Bradley Wright-Phillips during the 2018 season.

Lloris emphasises the task ahead for Spurs

"Don't blame Hugo," said Mauricio Pochettino about his captain's stinking error that donated a goal to Southampton on Saturday.

"Blame me. I ask him to play that way."

Of course, Pochettino was always going to defend goalkeeper Hugo Lloris after a mistake like the one that donated a goal to Danny Ings, and the caveat should be added that Lloris made a couple of excellent saves later on in Spurs' 2-1 win over Southampton, but costly mistakes are a pattern for the France international now.

- VAR in the Premier League: Ultimate guide

Indeed, he made an almost identical one to this in the World Cup final, which is often forgotten because it was ultimately of no consequence, but nobody can say they didn't see this sort of thing coming.

Saturday's result was good for morale at Tottenham, and the fortitude they showed to beat Southampton with 10 men is at least a hint that the dressing room isn't quite as divided as Pochettino has implied in recent weeks.

But Lloris' error emphasised that they potentially have a massive rebuilding job to do over the next year, with the contracts of Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld and Christian Eriksen expiring, plus the need for a new goalkeeper will become impossible to ignore with more errors like this one from Lloris.

City are keeping things new with old blood

There has been much talk this season about keeping squads fresh, in the light of Tottenham's troubles, and Manchester City also have to deal with the problem of keeping their squad motivated to continually produce excellence.

Riyad Mahrez and Kevin De Bruyne might be taking care of both those problems for City. The phrase "like a new signing" is a cliche usually reserved for managers who haven't signed anyone and want to convince their fans that the guy coming back from injury is enough, but in this case it genuinely might be true.

Last season De Bruyne and Mahrez were barely factors for City, through a combination of injury, poor form and the excellence of others, but they have returned to relevance this term, with some gusto. De Bruyne has reclaimed his status as the best player in the Premier League, while Mahrez is now basically undroppable after another goal and brilliant showing against Everton. And that, in this City squad, is certainly saying something.

The Official Kevin De Bruyne Assist-O-Meter

A new regular feature for this column will be a tally of how many goals De Bruyne lays on for his teammates this season.

After setting up Gabriel Jesus' opener against Everton, De Bruyne has eight assists from six starts: If he continues at this pace, he'll break the Premier League assists record for the season at some point in December.

Chef Rodgers cooks well with the right ingredients

The wisdom of Leicester and Brendan Rodgers joining forces in February last season, rather than waiting for the summer, has once again shown to be a brilliant move by all parties.

Rodgers has made this team the most impressive outside of the top two, collecting 31 points from his 17 games in charge so far, all of which was helped by him starting work last term and carrying their form across seasons.

But Rodgers isn't some footballing shaman who has sprinkled a spell over Leicester: This is a triumph of recruitment as much as anything else, and that group of richer clubs who are currently floundering beneath them will only feel worse as they observe James Maddison, Youri Tielemans, Ricardo Pereira, Caglar Soyuncu, Dennis Praet and others, wondering why they didn't spot that talent and grab it for themselves.

Newcastle look doomed and hopeless

Newcastle have three more points than they did at the same stage last season, so the optimist might think that if they could stay up then, they can do so now. The trouble is you'll be hard pressed to find any optimists around Newcastle at the moment, and any remaining ones will probably have disappeared after their pathetic 5-0 defeat to Leicester.

Jamaal Lascelles said the blame should be on the players and manager Steve Bruce hinted at the same by pointing to the "complete surrender" of his team. That might be true to a point, but you have to wonder why that might be the case, and that wondering only leads you to the manager and those above him.

Newcastle might have been winless a year ago, but you could at least see what they were trying to do, and had a manager with the requisite gravitas to make you think things were going to be OK. Not this time: If your local bookmakers will still give you odds against for Newcastle to go down, snap that up now.

These are early days, but they already look doomed and hopeless.

Should Wilder go easy on his players?

After Sheffield United won at Everton last weekend, Chris Wilder was busy rebuking his players for their poor performance before Phil Jagielka reminded him they had just beaten the side who finished eighth in the Premier League last season.

This weekend, Wilder was annoyed his newly-promoted team hadn't beaten the European champions.

"I think we've missed an opportunity to get a big result today. When they're off, we've got to jump all over them," he said after the 1-0 defeat to Liverpool, citing Norwich's win over Manchester City as something to aspire to.

It's terrific for the Premier League that Wilder has ambitions beyond survival, that he expects more from his players than mere existence. They're not happy just to be there, wide-eyed at being on the same pitch as Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk.

But the hope is that he doesn't go too far the other way, that he doesn't expect too much, too quickly of his players: After all, before this season Saturday's starting XI had 48 Premier League appearances between them, 19 of which belong to Chris Basham for Bolton a decade ago.

Maybe cut them just a little bit of slack, Chris.

Luckiest moment of the weekend

On any other weekend, Tanguy Ndombele's shot bursting through the hands of Angus Gunn might take this award, but there can obviously be no other candidate than Dean Henderson letting Gini Wijnaldum's strike go through his legs and donate the points to Liverpool.

Even Jurgen Klopp admitted that a draw would probably have been a fair result, but these are the strokes of luck one needs to challenge for the title.

Jorginho finally establishing himself at Chelsea

Most of the talk about Chelsea this season has surrounded their youngsters, and rightly so: Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori were both terrific again in their 2-0 win over Brighton, but arguably their key man was Jorginho.

The Italy midfielder pulled all the strings and was the hub of the team that Maurizio Sarri wanted him to be last season, so when Frank Lampard said afterwards that this was the first game of his tenure Chelsea had controlled from start to finish, that was a compliment to Jorginho.

Injuries are scuppering Norwich

Norwich's defeat to Crystal Palace at the weekend -- their fifth loss in seven and another game in which they haven't kept a clean sheet -- will naturally be concerning for Daniel Farke, but more worrying is their injury list.

They went into the game at Selhurst Park already without six players -- Alex Tettey, Tim Krul, Christoph Zimmermann, Timm Klose, Tom Trybull and Onel Hernandez -- while Krul's replacement Ralf Fahrmann probably shouldn't have played and did aggravate his groin injury, while Jamal Lewis is due for a scan on a suspected broken elbow.

The challenge of staying in the Premier League is already a steep one for clubs like Norwich, but to be hampered like this makes it doubly so.

Aston Villa: Frustration Central

Aston Villa have now thrown away points from winning positions in three of their seven games so far this season.

Indeed, they have conceded five equalisers in those games, and Burnley levelling things within 90 seconds of their second goal on Saturday almost felt inevitable.

Watching them as a neutral can be a pretty frustrating experience, so who knows what it's like supporting them.

Greg Chappell will retire from his role as a selector and national talent manager at Cricket Australia on Monday, ending an association with the sport that stretches back more than 50 years. From a player to captain to coach and selector, Chappell has covered most of the roles in the game.

Kevin Roberts, the CA chief executive, said: "Greg has had a profound and positive impact on cricket for generations. Greg was one of the finest players in the history of international cricket. Additionally, as a captain, coach, selector and mentor, Greg has been a true pioneer and innovator. His passion and commitment to the game are clear to anyone who has interacted with him, and Australian cricket is all the stronger for his involvement."

Here is a recap of his half a century in the sport.

Batsman

One of Australia's greats. Chappell started and ended his Test career with centuries, against England and Pakistan respectively, in all amassing 7110 runs at 53.86 - which remains the sixth-highest average for a batsman with at least 80 Tests - with 24 hundreds in a career that spanned 1970-1984. It won't show in official records, but some of his most dominant batting came during World Series Cricket when he scored 621 runs in five "SuperTests" against a West Indies side that had an attack of Holding, Garner, Croft and Roberts.

Captain

His captaincy stint came either side of World Series Cricket, in which he was a key figure, and in total it encompassed 48 matches with Ashes series in 1977 (a defeat) and 1982-83 (a victory). He scored centuries in each innings in his first match as captain against West Indies in Brisbane. However, his captaincy career is most famously remembered for when he instructed his brother, Trevor, to bowl underarm against New Zealand at the MCG in 1981.

Coach

Chappell had a five-year spell as South Australia coach from 1998-99 to 2002-03, and in 2008 headed up CA's centre of excellence, which included being involved with Australia's Under-19 team. He has also worked with the Australia A side and U-19s in his latter role as national talent manager. But his headline stint as a coach came when he was in charge of India between 2005-2007. It became a controversial spell, which included crashing out in the first round of the 2007 World Cup and falling out with captain Sourav Ganguly.

Selector

His first spell as an Australian selector came straight after he finished playing and lasted from 1984-1988. It was a time when the team struggled in Tests - although it included the 1987 World Cup victory - but during that spell names who would lead an era of great success, including David Boon and Steve Waugh, made their debuts. He was again appointed a selector in 2010, although it was a brief stay; he was part of the Argus Review clear out and in 2011 moved into his role as national talent manager. In 2016, following the upheaval created by the crushing defeat by South Africa in Hobart, Chappell returned to a selection role alongside Trevor Hohns.

Administrator

After finishing his playing career, Chappell became a member of the Australia Cricket Board alongside his first selection role. During his most recent stint as national talent manager, Cricket Australia's methods have not always been met with approval, particularly around the fast-tracking of young talent and the formation of a CA XI to play in the one-day competition, but Chappell remained a voice of experience at a time of considerable change. In an interview with cricket.com.au last year to mark his 70th birthday, he was asked what he would like his legacy to be. "Someone who cared for the game," he said.

Barbados Tridents 141 for 6 (Charles 47, Santokie 2-25, Viljoen 2-26) beat St Lucia Zouks 117 (Ingram 25, Walsh 4-26, Gurney 3-17) by 24 runs

From coasting towards their target of 142 for the most part of their chase, St Lucia Zouks suddenly batted like staunch believers in Sigmund Freud's theory about the society's deeply repressed death wish, losing their last six wickets for just six runs to hand Barbados Tridents a playoff berth. Legspinner Hayden Walsh was in the thick of things again, bagging a four-for that included three in a single over. He is now the tournament's highest wicket-taker with 15 wickets in just five matches. He had support from Harry Gurney and Shakib Al Hasan, who struck at crucial points to keep Tridents in the contest before Walsh finished off the lower order.

Johnson Charles led the way with the bat for Tridents after they opted to bat, top-scoring with a 36-ball 47, and with contributions from Shakib Al Hasan (22) and Justin Greaves (27*), they were able to post a competitive 141 on a tired surface. It looked insufficient with Zouks requiring just 31 off 27 balls, but the wicket of Hardus Viljoen swung the pendulum Tridents' way, who went on to win by a comfortable margin of 24 runs.

Charles' measured aggression

Although the Tridents lost Alex Hales early, the manner of dismissal vindicated the decision to bat as the slowness of the surface became apparent. The first three overs, with the ball holding in the surface, were difficult and produced just 12 runs. Then, Johnson Charles found his groove with a slog-swept six off Rahkeem Cornwall, and runs started to flow. A rattled Cornwall fired the next two wide of off and Charles just gave them direction, bisecting short third man and point on both occasions. The feature of Charles' knock was the measured manner in which he found ways of scoring quickly, on a pitch not conducive to strokeplay. He glanced one fine when Kesrick Williams strayed in line next over as Tridents picked eight from the fifth over before going on the attack in the final over of the powerplay. Viljoen's pace and predictable length seemed to suit Charles as he clobbered one over long-on, Tridents picking up 13 from the sixth making the tally 36 for the last three overs of the Powerplay. At that stage, they looked set for a bigger score, but as it turned out, they didn't need one.

Ingram, de Grandhomme go berserk

If Tridents were satisfied with the total on the board seeing how the pitch was behaving they wouldn't have been feeling as confident after the start they had with the ball. Even though they managed to dislodge the openers, the runs were flowing. In fact, just as Tridents got a sniff with a wicket, Zouks went on the attack, first through Colin Ingram and then through Colin de Grandhomme. Cornwall had fallen in the fifth over and the last three balls of that over produced just one run. But Ingram took full advantage of the field restrictions as he tore into Jason Holder in the last over of the Powerplay with a short-arm jab that sailed over deep midwicket, a ferocious cut that cleared the point boundary and a more delicate cut that bisected short third man and backward point. The sixth produced 18, and the seventh was a brief period of calm as only three runs came from it, but in the eighth, de Grandhomme smashed Walsh out of the attack with two sixes, pulled over the leg side, leaving the Zouks requiring under six an over in the last 12 overs.

Gurney's timely blow sets it up for Walsh

The window for Tridents to claw back into the contest was small despite the quick wickets of the set Ingram and de Grandhomme, at least if Zouks batted sensibly. After Viljoen hammered Gurney for a six over deep midwicket to bring the equation down to 31 needed off 28 balls, the left-arm seamer held his nerve and produced an excellent slower ball that stuck in the surface and had Viljoen searching for it with his hands way in front of his body and took the glove before lobbing up for the wicketkeeper to dive forward and pouch it. That was when Walsh, who had suffered at the hands of de Grandhomme, was immediately reintroduced for a final throw of the dice, and he repaid the faith by running through the lower order, albeit with a lot of help from the batsmen themselves. Chris Barnwell perished caught on the boundary trying to clear the long-off, Darren Sammy holed out to deep midwicket two balls later, and all of a sudden, Walsh was on a hat-trick for the second time in three matches as Krishmar Santokie thought it wise to slog sweep against the turn, resulting in a top edge that was taken smartly by JP Duminy at cow corner. Jeavor Royal survived the hat-trick ball but fittingly, Walsh returned to bowl the penultimate over and sealed the game by dismissing Fawad Ahmed who holed out to long-off.
