Hamlin’s eye for talent includes road race winner

The oldest and winningest active driver in the NASCAR Cup Series, as well as a shrewd team owner, Denny Hamlin has become a sounding board for his sage counsel. So he was a little surprised when protege Corey Heim went radio silent ahead of the inaugural race at Naval Base Coronado. "I asked Corey before the race, 'This is the first week you haven't called me for advice, you didn't think I'd bring anything to the table?'" Hamlin said with a smile. "Apparently, he was good." Indeed, Heim proved he had it handled with his upset win Sunday. By winning in only his 13th career start, ...

Dybantsa could be NBA’s next Durant

NEW YORK (AP) — For anyone seeking clues in the final hours before the NBA draft, AJ Dybantsa's Father's Day message to his dad apparently wasn't one. In the first of two pictures that went along with the posting on X, Anicet Dybantsa Sr. ("Ace") is holding young AJ in front of the White House.
