“That’s all we needed. Just 16 ounces.” Earnhardt didn’t have enough fuel as he ran out on the backstretch on the final lap, allowing Brad Keselowski to pass him for the win Sunday in the Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. With a win in the Daytona 500 to open the season, Earnhardt is all but in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. With NASCAR changing the Chase eligibility requirements to put regular-season winners into the Chase, that allows his team the freedom to take more chances to win races....

And that streak is likely to be extended to six this weekend at Martinsville Speedway, where the dominant drivers there will be looking for their first wins of the season. Of the last six winners at Martinsville — Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Ryan Newman, Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin — only Harvick has won a race this season. And Gordon, Johnson and Hamlin have dominated at the track in recent years, combing to win 12 of the past 15 races there....

“I thought about holding the three fingers running down the front straightaway,” Earnhardt said. “(But) I didn't want to bring too much attention to that.” The 3, of course, is the number piloted by his father, seven-time Cup champion Dale Earnhardt, who died in a crash on the final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500. Richard Childress, who won six titles with Earnhardt’s father, opted to bring the No. 3 back to Cup racing this year....

Neither made the NBA Finals that season. Maybe that's a warning to Indiana and Miami. When the East's 15 teams woke up on Christmas morning this year, only the Pacers, the Heat and the Atlanta Hawks were on pace to finish with records of .500 or better. The last time things wound up so bleak in the East was 1971-72, when only Boston and New York finished with winning records....

Award-winning London chocolatier Paul A. Young has won a cult following for his made-to-order Easter eggs. Customers can choose from 20 different types of chocolate for the base, paired with unusual truffle fillings, including coconut and litchi or port and Stilton, and decorated with custom design elements—say, violins for a music lover.

The dark-chocolate Large Egg Treasure by La Maison du Chocolat is covered with colorful pastel polka dots and carved with spy holes to reveal a solid milk-chocolate center....

The goal is to clean the hole up enough that the wall repair patch will sit flat on top of it with no loose debris or ragged paper edges pushing against it or interfering with the adhesive. This method works for holes that are up to about 6 in (15 cm) in diameter. Wall patches come in sizes up to 7–8 in (18–20 cm) in diameter, and the patch needs to be slightly bigger than the hole to adhere to the wall around it....

If you’re using store-bought putty, check the label to see if you can add in water or other ingredients. Lukewarm or cool tap water works well for this. You can use any kind of lotion for this! If the putty didn’t come in a container, use your own covered container for soaking and storage. If you’re working with a large batch of putty, you might want to use more gel. Similarly, if you’re working with a smaller amount, you might want to start with 1 tablespoon (15 mL)....

Packing folders are flat enough to fit inside luggage, so try and fit them in your suitcase if you can. You can purchase packing folders online. One downside to garment bags is that it’s tough to fit them in carry-on luggage if you’re flying. The smallest width for garment bags is about 22 inches (56 cm), which is too long for carry-on suitcases. If you don’t want to check bags in when you get to the airport, go with the packing folder method instead....

Use the acid as a spot treatment, applying it to the areas of your face that are breaking out and avoiding the areas that are already clear. Only applying salicylic acid to breakout areas will also make the product last longer. Avoid overusing salicylic acid on your face to keep your skin from drying out. If your skin becomes irritated after using salicylic acid, consider trying a different product or not using it at all....

Austria lost to Belgium in their most recent T20I series, going down 1-2. However, this side, led by Razmal Shigiwal, has many players who have been regulars in ECS T10 tournaments over the past two years and have performed well. Austria will be one of the teams to watch out for in the ECC T10 2021 tournament and are fierce competitors. Meanwhile, Hungary are coming on the back of a good run in the recently concluded Continental Cup, where they finished third....

An incredible championship was headed for a remarkable finish, with McIlroy sinking a mammoth eagle putt at the par-five 14th that left him six under par. The Northern Irishman had endured a mixed day until then, with three bogeys and two birdies through his first 13 holes. Overnight co-leader and defending champion Spieth was at the same score having dropped three shots in the space of two holes at the fifth and sixth, while Francesco Molinari, Kevin Chappell and Xander Schauffele were also six under....

Here’s what started the violence, according to the report, which cited Miami Beach Police: The report stated the six people left the scene and sped off, but a receipt with Bradham’s name proving he paid for the umbrella with his credit card was left at the scene. The alleged incident took place Thursday the Hilton Bentley hotel, and Bradham turned himself into police on Monday. MORE: Who had the craziest NFL offseason?...

With the Giants (4-1) upsetting the Packers Sunday in London, they moved within a half-game behind the Eagles (5-0) and right behind the second-place Cowboys (4-1). At a combined 13-2, that’s a ridiculous .867 winning percentage from three high-profile teams. Consider just two seasons ago, Washington (1-4) won the NFC East with a losing record (7-9). The league’s most competitive division — which hasn’t had a repeat winner since the Eagles won a third consecutive title in 2004 — is back to being the NFL’s toughest....

Once again this week, the Eagles head coach spoke of “going in a different direction at the wide receiver position,” and wanting more size, as if Darren Sproles’ listed height of 5-6 is an optical illusion. Sproles, the multi-purpose running back acquired by trade from the Saints, was the biggest reason (no pun intended) why the Eagles beat the Colts Monday night to reach 2-0. Now, starting this week against Washington (with Jackson expected to be in uniform) he can ultimately prove Kelly’s point....

Parkey, a Pro Bowler last season, is headed to injured reserve with a groin tear, according to NFL.com. Parkey dealt with a groin injury during training camp, but Kelly said Monday that Parkey’s injury on Sunday against the Jets was a new one. MORE: Week 3 surprise performers | For Eagles, a win is a win | Fantasy replacements The Eagles worked out former Dolphins kicker Caleb Sturgis and signed him to replace Parkey, according to multiple reports....
