Ryan Blaney
NASCAR - Pocono: The build-up is underway at the Tricky Triangle, with the race due to start within the hour.
Pocono doesn't have the greatest reputation for delivering thrilling races, but maybe we'll be in luck and the Cup event will be as good as yesterday's Truck race.
That ended with two attempts at a green/white/chequered finish and 19-year-old Ryan (son of Dave) Blaney bursting through to win.

Further back, Carlos Munoz is making a good recovery from his earlier mishap and is about to pass Axcil Jefferies for P6.

BTCC - Snetterton: It appears Neal and Newsham made contact on the run to Oggies at the same time as Bratt touched Plato exiting Williams and sent the MG off.
BTCC - Snetterton: Plato is out and seems OK. Newsham is also out. Not yet clear what happened.

IndyCar - Mid-Ohio: Vautier has returned to his pit box, which happens to be directly below AUTOSPORT's vantage point in the media centre. We have an unrivalled view of the young Frenchman making a lot of hand gestures that we interpret to mean, 'At first, the car wasn't on fire. Then it was'.
Red flag
IndyCar - Mid-Ohio: Pretty sure that fire coming out of the back of Tristan Vautier's car isn't meant to be there. He pulls off the track and brings himself to a stop by easing into the barriers.

Kris Meeke
WRC - Finland: Arguably the biggest story of the Rally Finland weekend was Kris Meeke's performance on his return to top-level rallying. He blew away Citroen team-mate Dani Sordo and was set for fifth until a penultimate stage shunt.
Meeke took that error pretty hard...
"I was so close to a dream weekend. I was only about one kilometre from the end of the stage and in a corner I went a bit in the loose, but I thought it would be fine. But the rear got caught, dug in and rolled.
"Like the rest of the stages, I knew I could try to improve the stage time on the second pass. I am sorry about this.
"It's been fantastic to work with the team over the rally, I learned so much – it's been an incredible experience and you cannot imagine the pain I feel inside."
IndyCar - Mid-Ohio: Eight minutes in, and the current pacesetter is Dario Franchitti.
IndyCar - Mid-Ohio: Josef Newgarden and James Jakes seem hell-bent on hitting each other in the pits. They've made practice stops on each of the last two laps, and on both occasions Newgarden has almost been released into the side of Jakes' car.

BTCC - Snetterton: An eight-car lead battle ended in a controversial collision and a breakaway win for Andrew Jordan in race two.

IndyCar - Mid-Ohio: AUTOSPORT has just returned from a lengthy visit to the BHA truck in time for the start of the morning warm-up session, which will be underway shortly.
We'll share some of Herta's thoughts in due course, but suffice to say he likes what he's seen of Filippi so far, both inside the car and out.
"He reminds me a bit of Zanardi - he's a nice guy, he talks to everyone, he smiles ... I think he could be really popular over here."

BTCC - Snetterton: Andrew Jordan happy with his combative performance:
"I bided my time with Colin [Turkington]. He was defending well. He ran wide at the right-hander and I got up the inside."

DTM - Moscow: Augusto Farfus on finishing third - and top BMW driver.
"Third feels like a victory today. The Audis were way too fast to match. The battle with Tambay was amazing too; it's great when two drivers can race hard like that, but also clean."

BTCC - Snetterton: So that didn't work out quite as Turkington hoped, but while that race was underway, the Superstars International Series announced that he would be making a guest appearance for its British rounds at Donington Park on September 1.

BTCC - Snetterton: Matt Neal's great drive continues as he goes round the outside of Smith at Montreal to get the inside for Palmer. Honda look like getting a one-two now after MG did in race one!
BTCC - Snetterton: A pretty marginal move from Jordan that, but it gives him the lead from Aron Smith, Neal, Jackson, Tordoff.
Shedden and Turkington were the worst affected in the drama and are now seventh and eighth.

BTCC - Snetterton: Turkington clearly doesn't have the pace, but he is putting his BMW in all the right places to keep the soft-shod Civic behind.
But then Jordan forces by on run to Williams, Turkington runs wide and loses lots of places.

BTCC - Snetterton: Turkington's stout defence means we now have an eight-car fight for the lead!
BTCC - Snetterton: And Tordoff is falling back rapidly now. Not a good race for MG. Jordan is now pushing leader Turkington.
BTCC - Snetterton: Jordan dives by Tordoff at Agostini for second. The MG seems to be struggling with the extra weight.
BTCC - Snetterton: So now we have Turkington leading race one winner Tordoff, Jordan and then Aron Smith and Mat Jackson.
