Will Power is determined to make Penske regret writing him off as he joins Andretti

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Will Power casually walked through the near-empty fan zone at Daytona International Speedway in a simple, white firesuit void of any Penske or Verizon Wireless logos. One of the winningest drivers in IndyCar history was practically unnoticeable at an unfamiliar track where few should have recognized the Australian.

And yet suddenly a crowd grew out of nowhere.

“Will Power! When you put your foot on the gas in an IRL car, there's no stopping you," one man gushed as he clamored for a selfie.

Others handed him diecasts of his 12... Read More

College football's surprise: Miami and Indiana meet for a title in a matchup nobody saw coming

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — One program long lived with the distinction of losing more games in the history of college football than anyone.
