Busch tops board for Supermarket Heroes 500

After racing last Sunday and Thursday at the mammoth 1.5-mile Charlotte Motor Speedway, the NASCAR Cup Series heads to a very different type of atmosphere and layout this Sunday at the short-track Bristol (Tennessee) Motor Speedway for the Food City presents the Supermarket Heroes 500. It’s the first of two scheduled visits this season, with Bristol also scheduled to host a “playoff” race on September 19.

Unfortunately, one aspect of Bristol, which opened in 1961, will be missing this time around and that’s a very large, raucous group of fans because none are allowed in attendance due to the coronavirus (also no qualifying). Bristol Motor Speedway is the third largest sports venue in America as it can hold more than 160,000 people.

The track is right near the Virginia/Tennessee state line, and in 2006 Virginia Tech and the University of Tennessee played a college football game there with 157,000 people in attendance. That shattered the NCAA record.

Could Colin Kaepernick make a comeback amid American race riots?

With the George Floyd race riots lighting up Minneapolis in a blaze of fire, retribution and racial tensions are diving a proud City. With the NFL coming back in Autumn, the former NFL executive Joe Lockhart has used a column in CNN to argue that Colin Kaepernick should come back to American Football and in particular the Minnesota Vikings. 

It’s been almost four years since Colin Kaepernick threw a pass in the NFL, and since he left the San Francisco 49ers in the fallout from him taking the knee in protest at the powers that be. The national anthem, to many, hasn’t sounded the same. Kaepernick, however, hasn’t played since, despite showing off exactly how physically fit he still is with a range of workout videos.

America is a country that stands divided on the race riots, and on the side of George Floyd, many people have looked to Kaepernick for leadership. He hasn’t let them down, funding a legal defense team to help protestors know their rights and even setting up a Twitter page dedicated to coordinating efforts on their behalf.

What Lockhart argues football fans could really do with is Kaepernick back in his quarterback role on the field, in some ways to unite Minnesota and give the various factions a leading light to guide them through what are clearly very difficult times.

Has home advantage gone? How the Bundesliga should guide your EPL bets

With the English Premier League due to restart on June 17th, the German Bundesliga has been seen in many quarters as the guiding light by which other European leagues can return to action. From empty stadiums to testing facilities, England, Italy and Spain have, to a degree, all followed the Germans into this new world of soccer action.

Could the greatest leg-up for the English Premier League be in regard to the sportsbetting tip that could change how we look at the return of the biggest domestic league in the world?

Since the Bundesliga came back, well over 40% of matches have resulted in away wins such as this 3-0 thrashing of Schalke by F.C. Augsburg:
