time winners

Josh Cox won the Las Vegas Rock 'n' Roll Marathon on Sunday and Dorota Gruca took the women's race on her 40th birthday.

Three-time winners Germany begin their World Cup campaign by facing Australia in a Group D game in Durban.

This has been a very odd year in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series. We have seen once great teams refocus their energies and become great again, we have seen one super team win the first two races of they ear and then under achieve ever since, and we have seen the transformation of Haas racing into a Sprint Cup powerhouse.

All in all these are all good things for this sport. Already this year 11 different drivers have won the 18 races, with three first time winners; Brad Keslowski, David Reutiman, and Joey Logano.

Again these are encouraging facts for the health of this series.

It was a cool, overcast morning, 59 degrees at the start of the women's race, with the temperature reaching only 62 by the time winners crossed the finish line.
