Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. wins NASCAR national series debut as crew chief at Pocono
LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Dale Earnhardt Jr. might already be NASCAR's most popular crew chief. He's certainly an undefeated one. Pressed into unexpected service, Earnhardt called the shots for 18-year-old prospect Connor Zilisch in the No. 88 Chevrolet and they landed in victory lane Saturday in the second-tier Xfinity Series race at Pocono Raceway. 'We had a lot of things going our way,' Earnhardt said. Earnhardt — who won NASCAR's most-popular driver award 15 times — made a pit stop from his day job as team owner at JR Motorsports with normal crew chief Mardy Lindley suspended one race because of a lug nut infraction this month at Nashville. Aside from his duties as team owner, Earnhardt also was at Pocono for his role on the Prime broadcast for the NASCAR Cup Series race Sunday. 'Lot of fun for me today,' Earnhardt said. 'I missed the thrill of competition. I love broadcast, don't get me wrong. But nothing compares to driving or just being part of the team. Being an owner doesn't really deliver like this. This is a lot of fun.' Earnhardt had his wife and two young daughters in tow with him as he made the celebratory walk to victory lane. Oldest daughter Isla Rose clutched the checkered flag while youngest Nicole Lorraine soaked in the scene from her dad's arms. The win continued a banner season for the NASCAR Hall of Fame driver — who swept two races at Pocono as a driver in 2014 — after JR Motorsports and reigning Xfinity Series champion Justin Allgaier qualified for the season-opening Daytona 500 and secured their Cup Series debut. Earnhardt won two Daytona 500s, in 2004 and 2014, and 26 races overall. His side hustle Saturday was made a bit easier with Zilisch behind the wheel. Zilisch, who turns 19 in July, raced to his second Xfinity victory of the season and third of his young career. He won his Xfinity debut last year at Watkins Glen International. Earnhardt even pitched in during the race and tossed tires over the wall during pit stops. Zilisch took the win down to the wire and finally passed Jesse Love with five laps left in the race. Love finished second. 'Dale Junior, not too bad on the box,' Zilisch said. 'Pretty cool to have him up there. Getting him a 1-for-1 win as crew chief is pretty awesome.' ___ AP auto racing:

NHL Free Agency: Top Six Pending UFA Centers
The NHL's free-agency period is almost here, and it's time to look at the key pivots who could be UFAs on July 1. has already looked at the top eight UFA defensemen and the top seven wingers. As for the centers, this is a rather thin class, but there's no doubt which center will be paid the most as a UFA this summer. 1. Sam Bennett, Florida Panthers Bennett was arguably the biggest impact player of the 2025 playoffs, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as the MVP. Advertisement Bennett posted an amazing 15 goals and 22 points in 23 playoff games. No other player had more than 11 goals, making Bennett's scoring prowess all the more remarkable. The 29-year-old will get a massive raise on the $4.425 million he earned for the past four years. The Panthers aren't devoid of salary cap space, with $19 million in room. However, they might prioritize re-signing UFA winger Brad Marchand and defenseman Aaron Ekblad, cutting ties with Bennett and sending him to the open market looking for a bigger payday than Florida can afford. There will be a slew of teams – including the Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins, Columbus Blue Jackets, New York Rangers, Detroit Red Wings, Los Angeles Kings and many more – who will happily bring Bennett on board with a salary north of $8 million. It's all up to Bennett to choose where he plays next, but he can rest assured he'll be one of the most targeted assets in free agency. Gary Bettman presents Sam Bennett with the Conn Smythe Trophy. (Sam Navarro-Imagn Images) 2. John Tavares, Toronto Maple Leafs At 34 years old, Tavares is entering the final stage of his tremendous NHL career. But he hasn't let up in terms of offensive production, putting up 38 goals – his best total since 2018-19 – and 74 points in 75 games. There are few players more consistent as a point-per-game producer than Tavares, but he'll be taking a huge pay cut as he does his best to remain with his hometown Maple Leafs. Advertisement Thus, Tavares will be earning far less than the $11 million he earned for the past seven years. Rumored projections have him in the $4-million to $5-million range over a four- or five-year contract term. That should make Leafs fans very happy. Tavares can be part of the solution in Toronto by accepting a massive pay cut and allow the Buds to put together a deeper, stronger roster. 3. Mikael Granlund, Dallas Stars Very quietly, Granlund put together an excellent season, generating 44 assists and 66 points in 83 games split between the Stars and San Jose Sharks. In the playoffs, Granlund amassed another five goals and 10 points in 18 games with Dallas. He was a terrific acquisition, and he guaranteed himself a strong market for his services this summer. Granlund earned $5 million annually for the past six years, but at 33 years old, his next contract will likely be for three or four years. He'll probably want to sign on a bona fide Cup contender, but a developing team might offer him more money to come in and provide leadership and offensive consistency to their lineup. Regardless, once Bennett and Tavares come off the board, Granlund will quickly garner major attention and sign very soon on July 1. 4. Pius Suter, Vancouver Canucks For the first four years of his NHL career, Suter posted either 14 or 15 goals. But in 2024-25, he had a career-high 25 goals and 46 points in 81 games. The 29-year-old's agent had to be ecstatic with the timeliness of Suter's offensive outburst, because he's going to be the focus of teams that lose out on Bennett, Tavares and Granlund. Advertisement Suter was a serious bargain this year in particular, earning just $1.6 million. He'll easily double that amount this summer, as many teams – including the Canucks, which have the cap space to bring him back to Vancouver – will be jockeying for Suter's attention. We'll see who winds up with him, but there's no question he'll be in high demand. NHL Free Agency: Top Seven Pending UFA Wingers NHL Free Agency: Top Seven Pending UFA Wingers The NHL's free-agency period is fast approaching, so it's time to break down the key free agents who will soon be on the open market. 5. Christian Dvorak, Montreal Canadiens Dvorak has had trouble staying healthy, as he appeared in 82 games this past season for the first time in his nine-year NHL career. But as a third-line center option, he's going to be intriguing. Advertisement Dvorak posted 12 goals and 33 points last season – numbers that don't knock your socks off but aren't anything to sneer at, either. He won't match or better his 2024-25 salary of $4.45 million, but on a playoff-bound team, he could be a nifty little acquisition who is hungry and determined to be part of a winning organization. 6. Adam Gaudette, Ottawa Senators In parts of seven NHL seasons, the 28-year-old Gaudette has had to scratch and claw for opportunities in hockey's best league. Before this past season, his career high in games played was 59, back in 2019-20. But in '24-25, the Senators took a chance on him for just $775,000, and in return, Gaudette put up 19 goals and 26 points. So, once the other players on this list have signed a new contract, Gaudette is bound to get multiple offers for his services. The Sens aren't swimming in cap space, so Gaudette could be moving on to a different team next year. But as a third- or fourth-line option, he could fit in very well with a team intent on being a playoff contender.

J.C. Escarra emerging as Yankees' latest success story at catcher
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free There are former Yankee catchers thriving in a handful of spots around the league, from Luis Torrens with the Mets to Carlos Narváez in Boston. Agustín Ramírez has shown promise with the Marlins and veteran Jose Trevino is having a resurgent year with the Reds. All of those backstops have been dealt in the past year or so by the Yankees, who are now using J.C. Escarra as Austin Wells' primary backup, with Ben Rice filling in as well now that Giancarlo Stanton is back in the DH spot. Escarra impressed again in Saturday's 9-0 rout of the Orioles in The Bronx, as the lefty-swinging catcher not only hit his second homer of the season — this one into the second deck in right field — but also guided Clarke Schmidt through seven no-hit innings. Asked which accomplishment he was more excited about, Escarra said, 'Both.'' J.C. Escarra hits a home run during the Yankees-Orioles game on June 21, 2025. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect 'It was a great day for J.C.,' Aaron Boone said. 'He's been terrific all season for us behind the plate and we know what kind of hitter he is.' Escarra homered off Zach Eflin in the second inning, hit a sacrifice fly in the third, reached on an error in the fifth on a ball smoked at 106 mph that was muffed by second baseman Jackson Holliday, and added an RBI single in the sixth. 'He's capable of that,' Boone said of Escarra's offense. 'He had good at-bats today … [and] helped set the tone with the home run.' With Wells, Escarra and Rice all hitting from the left side, there's no perfect way to split playing time. Boone, when asked how the team would handle playing time with Rice's role behind the plate likely increasing, said, 'We'll see. Keep pushing.' CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS But Escarra certainly has given the Yankees reason to get him in the lineup, as he was one of a handful of left-handed hitters who made Eflin's life miserable Saturday, forcing him out of the game after three innings. J.C. Escarra (L.) talks with Clarke Schmidt during the Yankees-Orioles game on June 21, 2025. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Escarra has proven to be an excellent pitch framer and pitchers entered Saturday with a combined 2.79 ERA with him as their battery-mate this year. And that was before Schmidt extended his scoreless streak to a career-high 25 ¹/₃ innings. Escarra said he didn't notice Schmidt's no-hit bid until the sixth or seventh inning. 'I didn't look at the [scoreboard] because I was so focused on the game, but you notice things and thoughts creep into your head,'' Escarra said of Schmidt potentially getting the no-hitter. But Schmidt's pitch count — 103 through seven innings — prevented any chance of that happening, which was about the only disappointment for Escarra and the Yankees against Baltimore.
