KEARNEY LITTLE LEAGUE WINS MAJORS OVER GRETNA:
The Kearney Little League baseball team qualified for a national trip to Indianapolis with a victory over the Gretna Little League squad 8-2 yesterday afternoon at Patriot Park.
In the Minor championship, Grand Island won over Kearney 8-7 to claim the title.
Kearney now is set to represent Nebraska in the Central Region to compete in the Little League World Series in August. The Nebraska squad will face Wisconsin on August 5 at 6 PM in Indianapolis.
ELLIOT WINS AT POCONO DUE TO DISQUALIFICATIONS:
The siren at the Dawsonville, Georgia, pool hall that sounds whenever Chase Elliott wins a race did indeed go off Sunday night without the hometown star ever leading a lap at Pocono Raceway.
In an extraordinary decision for a NASCAR Cup Series race, Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin had his Pocono win thrown out and runner-up and teammate Kyle Busch also was disqualified after their Toyotas failed inspections.
Elliott shot up from third place and the Hendrick Motorsports driver was awarded his fourth victory of the season. He never led a lap in the No. 9 Chevrolet — and his car also was inspected by NASCAR.
Hamlin lost his record seventh victory at Pocono and his third win of the season. Busch led a race-high 63 laps.
