Qualifying Notes: Kyle Moyer Lands New Job with Arrow McLaren
INDYCAR Kyle Moyer's time as a free agent didn't last long. The veteran team manager who was one of three executives released last month by Team Penske has been hand-picked by Arrow McLaren Team Principal Tony Kanaan to join the Indianapolis-based NTT INDYCAR SERIES program. Moyer will be the organization's director of competition beginning with next week's test at Iowa Speedway. Kanaan and Moyer worked together for years at Andretti Global when Kanaan was a driver. Moyer was the team manager when Kanaan won the INDYCAR SERIES championship in 2004. Moyer left Michael Andretti's team in 2015 to join Roger Penske's organization. Moyer, along with Team President Tim Cindric and Managing Director Ron Ruzewski, were released by Team Penske in advance of the recent Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge after the cars of defending champion Josef Newgarden and Will Power were found with unapproved modifications ahead of qualifying. At Arrow McLaren, Moyer will replace Kanaan as the race strategist for Nolan Siegel, allowing Kanaan to work with all three Arrow McLaren drivers on race weekends. Kanaan told the Associated Press that almost every team in the paddock tried to hire Moyer, but the relationship the two of them have gave McLaren the edge. 'Kyle is one of the best strategists in the paddock, so talking about his qualities, not just about him as a human being, he knows a lot about racing,' Kanaan told the AP. 'Kyle probably is one of the top guys of knowledge of INDYCAR. He's been around it his entire life.' Moyer grew up in Monrovia, Indiana, and was brought into the sport by the Bettenhausen family. Kirkwood Credits Decision Making to Surge Series points leader Alex Palou had the spotlight for most of the first half of the season. A dominant start featured five wins in six races, including an Indy 500 victory, and made him the undisputed championship favorite. But lately, Andretti Global's Kyle Kirkwood has turning heads – and is turning the title tide. Kirkwood has surged to third in the standings, 75 points behind Palou, thanks to wins in the only three races Palou hasn't claimed. Kirkwood had just two wins in his first 53 series races. He now has three wins in the past six races. 'I think he's always been there,' Colton Herta said of his teammate heading into Sunday's XPEL Grand Prix at Road America Presented by AMR (1:30 p.m. ET, FOX, FOX Deportes, FOX Sports app, INDYCAR Radio Network). 'Maybe he's gotten a little bit better at how to race and when to go fast in races, and that just comes (with experience). But I think he's driving pretty similar to last year. He just had bad luck with penalties last year.' Kirkwood agrees the difference isn't raw speed but decision making. He cited last year's fifth-place finish at Road America as an example of when pushed too hard early in the race trying to stave off eventual third-place finisher Scott McLaughlin. The effort backfired and opened the door for McLaughlin and Palou to pass. 'I realized later it was inevitable,' Kirkwood said. 'I pushed too hard too early.' We'll see what he learned from last year. Dixon Penalized for Impeding DeFrancesco Six-time series champion Scott Dixon said he was trying to create a gap to maximize his chances of advancing in qualifying, but race officials said Dixon impeded the hot lap of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing's Devlin DeFrancesco during the first round of qualifying. The penalty proved costly to the Chip Ganassi Racing veteran. Rather than advancing to the Fast 12 and perhaps earning a top-10 starting position, Dixon lost his two fastest laps and was reduced to the 25th starting position. Only three times in his career has he started farther back, including 26th earlier this year in the Children's of Alabama INDYCAR Grand Prix at Barber Motorsports Park. He finished 12th in that race. 'It is what it is, man,' he said in ending an interview with FOX's Kevin Lee on pit road. recommended

JetBlue is pulling out of the Miami airport, but will remain at FLL. See details
JetBlue Airways will halt service at Miami International Airport, the airline said on Saturday. The Long Island City-based carrier cited poor financial performance. JetBlue has a small footprint at MIA, with one or two daily flights between MIA and Boston. But 'to free aircraft for new routes, we've recently made the decision to end a small number of unprofitable flights including between Boston and Miami,' Derek Dombrowski, director of corporate communications, said in an email statement sent to the Miami Herald. The changes are effective Sept. 3, he said. Travelers booked on cancelled flights 'will have the option to fly via Fort Lauderdale or receive a full refund to their original form of payment,' Dombrowski said. The move was a business decision. 'We continually evaluate how our network is performing and make changes as needed,' Dombrowski said. JetBlue informed MIA of the changes on Friday, Greg Chin, communications director for Miami-Dade Aviation Department, said in a phone call with the Miami Herald on Saturday. He didn't elaborate on other details. JetBlue's Fort Lauderdale presence JetBlue will continue to fly to Boston from nearby Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport as well as West Palm Beach, Dombrowski said. The airline has a strong presence at FLL. In 2024, JetBlue served about 6.8 million passengers at FLL, down 2.1% from 2023 but still the second largest carrier at that airport, only behind Spirit. It carried 19% of all travelers to and from the Broward County airport. This year, JetBlue remains FLL's second largest carrier. Through April 30, the airline had 2.2 million passengers, even though that's down 6% from the same period in 2024. In 2021, to make a larger bet on South Florida as the COVID-19 pandemic was still in full force, JetBlue expanded at MIA, adding as many as 14 daily flights, including as many as four times a day to Boston. The airline also added direct flights between MIA and New York-JFK, Newark, Los Angeles and Hartford. Since then, JetBlue has scaled back service in Miami due to falling demand. It was also slowed down by the 2024 ruling of a federal judge in Massachusetts that blocked an attempted merger with Broward-based Spirit, citing anti-competitive laws. On Saturday, JetBlue had a total of two arrivals at MIA, each one from Boston, according to the airport's flight tracker. And it had one departure, also to Boston.

Major warning over $50,000 act during popular Aussie travel period: 'Risky'
Australian travellers are being urged to rethink getting personal loans to pay for their winter travel plans. Nipping over to Europe or the US to escape the cold is a well-trodden path that thousands take every year. But some aren't spending months to save for the holiday and are instead taking out loans to ensure they can live life to the fullest. Tax expert Kiki told Yahoo Finance this can have huge ramifications down the line if you want to buy a home. "It's a bit risky taking out a loan, especially in this environment where the banks are quite strict with borrowing capacity, and taking out a personal loan of $50,000 will definitely impact your borrowing capacity," she said. Outrage as young Aussie spends $50,000 'house deposit' on Europe trip Centrelink age pension changes coming into effect from July 1 $1,000 ATO school fees tax deduction that Aussies don't realise they can claim "If they're going on a holiday just to have a break and take some pictures, and it's not for a family reunion or anything of that sort, then I think it's a bit silly." Fifty grand might sound like a ridiculous amount to spend on a jaunt to Europe, but this number was cited by some on social media. Brooklyn posted a TikTok asking how people managed to afford to go away every single it just sneaky savings hacks? Racking up credit card debt? Staying in the cheapest, nastiest hostel and eating bread every day? Everyone had their personal trick, but one person said, "I know a lot of girls take out $50,000 personal loans just to go." Another added: "I know of people who took out $50,000 to go on trips, absolutely astounding." The answer absolutely floored Brooklyn, especially considering she had budgeted just $16,000 for two people to spend 10 weeks in Europe. "Is this genuinely something people are doing? Like, I save diligently, I don't really drink, I don't really go out and do any of those things, and I can't afford to go on these massive holidays every year," she said. Data from Finder revealed Aussies have slowly been taking out more in personal loans for their holidays and travel plans. In January 2020, Aussies were approved for $35 million worth of personal loans for getaways alone. While that's a lot, it's nothing compared to the $1.1 billion taken out for car loans in the same month. Personal loans for travel obviously took a massive dip during the pandemic, but ever since July 2021, the total amount taken out has been steadily increasing. The latest data showed $59 million was approved just in July, 2024. Kiki said people are too often trying to 'keep up with the Joneses' and con themselves into these huge holidays just because others are jet-setting at the same time. Finder actually discovered more than 2.14 million people would go into debt to pay for their holidays. A further 5 per cent of Aussies, more than one million people, said they felt pressured to organise travel plans they couldn't afford. Personal finance expert Sarah Megginson told Yahoo Finance you need to be very careful going down this route as it can be a slippery slope. "A growing number of Aussies are drowning in debt to be able to travel," she said. 'While it's tempting to splurge on a holiday, taking out credit to do so can cause long-term financial consequences and keep you stuck paying off debt for months or even years." When Brooklyn uploaded her video, some Aussies weren't too fazed by the $50,000 admission. "I'm happy for them. As long as they pay it back who cares? Life is for living," wrote one person. "When it's that or waiting 5 years to save — take the loan! See the world! Life is too short," added another. But Kiki said this laissez-faire attitude towards loans isn't the best outlook. "People just don't realise the impact it has on them when they come back from the holiday, which is the concerning part," she told Yahoo Finance. "If you want to go on a holiday, then save for it, and then you won't have to stress about the aftermath of coming back and having to deal with this loan that is probably anywhere between two to five years of repayments." Having debt hanging over your head for that length of time can take a huge toll on your finances and mental health. Kiki said you can keep costs down by booking flights well in advance, checking the same accomodation on multiple sites for the lowest price, finding free walking tours, or going just before or after peak season. Also putting any savings into a high interest account can boost your money as much as possible. That was another point many raised on TikTok. They're both credit and yet it's personal loans that seem to be demonised, some said. However, Kiki explained that if you're putting all your travel expenses on a credit card, you're at least getting the frequent flyer points. You could rack up enough points that flights for your next holiday are a fraction of if you bought them outright. You can also get certain travel insurance when booking with a credit card, and some cards have interest-free periods if you pay off your debt in full each month, which is not usually available with personal loans. Credit cards and personal loans can carry incredibly high interest repayment rates, with some north of 20 per cent, however, there are some in the 5-10 per cent range, depending on a few factors. But Kiki said optics can play a role if you want to get a mortgage a few years after that big Europe holiday. "The bank might ask why was this loan taken out, and if the answer is, 'For a holiday', then they might perceive that behaviour as not someone that is financially stable," she said. The same can and will happen if you have loads of credit card debt. But the difference is you will have a credit card debt at the end of your holiday based on exactly what you've spent, compared to potentially overestimating how much you'll need for the in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data
