Here is what drivers had to say after Sunday night’s race at Iowa Speedway. Ryan Blaney — Winner: “What a cool way to win here. This place means a lot to me and means a lot to my mom. We had a lot of people here tonight cheering us on, so they willed us to that one. Overall, I really appreciate the whole 12 boys. I mean, our car was really fast all night and we got a little bit better through the night and two tires was a good call there. I didn’t know how well I was gonna hold on. I started to struggle a little bit at the end, but had enough to hang on. I’m super proud of the effort. … It makes up a little bit from a couple weeks ago.”

PINEHURST, N.C. – Francesco Molinari was down to his last chance. Sitting at 7 over with only the 192-yard, par-3 ninth at Pinehurst No. 2 to play Friday afternoon, Molinari needed to somehow make up two shots to punch his ticket into the weekend at this 124th U.S. Open. He grabbed his 7-iron and swung away.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
