Clay Greenfield delivered a solid performance in Friday's Love's RV Stop 225 at Talladega Superspeedway, finishing 15th in his No. 95 Chevrolet. The GK Racing driver qualified 21st and gained six positions during an event featuring multiple major accidents and an overtime finish.
Greenfield entered the race hoping to capitalize on the unpredictable nature of superspeedway racing. The opening stage featured intense drafting competition, with several drivers exchanging positions while attempting to maintain momentum. Greenfield remained competitive through the first segment and avoided the eight-truck accident that occurred on Lap 17.
The incident eliminated numerous drivers and temporarily interrupted the race, but Greenfield continued battling for track position. His Chevrolet remained in competition throughout the second stage as several other trucks encountered tire problems and mechanical issues.
The final stage featured another major accident on Lap 57, followed by a late caution that forced the event into overtime. Greenfield avoided the race-ending damage that affected several competitors and maintained his position on the lead lap. He ultimately finished 15th, completing all 86 laps and earning 22 points.
The performance represented a positive afternoon for Greenfield, who gained six positions from his qualifying effort and completed the entire race against a competitive Truck Series field.

Indian automotive supplier Uno Minda has announced four capacity expansion and consolidation projects across its component businesses, with a combined proposed investment of about Rs14.15bn ($147.5m).
The projects span the company's two-wheeler alloy wheels, aluminium casting, moulding, and interior, exterior parts and sealing systems operations, although details have so far been provided for two of them.
One of the projects concerns a new greenfield aluminium casting plant in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, after expansion **** e at the company's existing Hosur facility was used up.
This business supplies parts for two-wheelers, four-wheelers and commercial vehicles for both combustion-engine and electric vehicle platforms.
The project is expected to involve an additional investment of Rs5.10bn and increase capacity at the site from about 13,000 metric tonnes to a peak of 30,000 metric tonnes.

Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala Cricket League (KCL) enters its third season on Thursday with a question that goes beyond who will lift the trophy: Who steps up to own Kerala's T20 stage in the absence of Sanju Samson?

Sanju, the league's biggest star and a key figure in Kochi Blue Tigers' ******* le-winning campaign last season, has opted out citing "personal reasons". It leaves a void, but also opens the door for a new generation to seize the spotlight. Kochi, led by Sanju's brother Saly Samson, will have to prove they can defend their crown without their biggest match-winner.

"Sanju will be missed. His experience was invaluable last season during our ******* le-winning run. But we have a core team of 10 players who performed for us, with seniors like Basil Thampi," Saly said.

The defending champions, who face Kollam Sailors on Thursday at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, however, are not looking beyond the immediate task. "There's added pressure on us because of the defending champions tag, but we're confident. We have prepared well for this tournament," he said.

The search for the next breakout star could be the defining subplot of KCL 3. Young players will have an opportunity to turn the league into a springboard to Kerala's senior side, the IPL and beyond. Saly reckoned the tournament's unpredictable nature could produce a surprise package.

"I believe that KCL has a knack for throwing up surprises. How you perform on the given day is what makes it count. Some young, relatively unknown player might come good and score a ton or pick up a five-for," he added.

The auction has added another layer of intrigue. Alleppey Ripples' ₹11.8-lakh purchase of Sibin Gireesh made him the league's most expensive player, while Krishna Devan and Sachin Baby also commanded big bids. Baby's move to Alleppey, where he will captain the side, adds another interesting storyline as the former Kerala skipper begins a new chapter.

The KCA has ******* embled a 15-member umpiring panel, including former Kerala captain and ICC elite panel umpire K N Ananthapadmanabhan and BCCI Level 2 umpire Tony Emmatty. Two BCCI-panel umpires will officiate in every game.

Adding another layer of technology is the Hawk-Eye, which will be used to ******* ist reviews and improve the accuracy of decision-making. With four umpires ******* igned to every game and Hawk-Eye enhancing the review process, KCL is aiming for greater professionalism.

As six teams converge on Greenfield, the moot question remains: Without Sanju, who becomes the new face of Kerala's T20 cricket?

Oklo Inc. (NYSE:OKLO) just proved it can build a nuclear reactor as fast as it promised. On August 6, the company announced its Groves Isotope Test Reactor in Lockhart, Texas, achieved first criticality, a controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction, less than a year after groundbreaking. It's the first project under the US Department of Energy's Reactor Pilot Program to reach criticality on private land from a greenfield site, and Oklo says it may be the fastest privately funded, privately sited reactor build in history.
CEO Jacob DeWitte called it "an incredible milestone for our team," noting Oklo built Groves from raw land, handled the civil excavation and construction itself, and manufactured or procured every component, including fuel, in-house. On the company's August 7 earnings call, management put the timeline at under 11 months from greenfield to criticality. Groves is meant to anchor Oklo's isotope business, supplying materials for healthcare, industry, research, ******* e, and national security, with revenue expected to begin in the first half of 2027 out of a commercial Idaho radiochemistry lab.
Management says the engineering practices, training programs, and commissioning experience from Groves should reduce execution risk across the company's future isotope, powerhouse, and fuel cycle projects. The balance sheet backs that ambition, with $3 billion in cash and marketable securities on hand after Oklo raised $1.9 billion in 2026 through its at-the-market programs. The broader pipeline kept moving too, with Aurora-INL site excavation nearly complete and a Kiewit memorandum of understanding advancing the 1.2-gigawatt Ohio Power Campus that will supply Meta. Shares jumped more than 10% on August 7, the day after the update, coinciding with the earnings report.
The milestone came alongside a bigger bill. Oklo reported a net loss of $81.6 million for the quarter, with an operating loss of $124.2 million, and the company still has no forward price-to-earnings ratio because it isn't yet profitable. Management raised its 2026 operating cash flow guidance to $120 million to $150 million, up from $80 million to $100 million, and lifted capital expenditure guidance to $400 million to $500 million from $350 million to $450 million, both tied to accelerated procurement for Aurora-INL and opportunistic fuel purchases. Groves itself is also a test reactor for isotopes, not Oklo's commercial power business. The Aurora-INL project that would validate the company's powerhouse platform isn't targeted to start up until 2028, and the first phase of the Aurora-Ohio powerhouse meant to supply Meta's data centers isn't expected until early 2030.

Had Braylon Mullins stayed in the 2026 NBA Draft, he likely would have been selected in the first round. The 2025 Mr. Basketball from Greenfield-Central High School averaged 12.0 points as a Connecticut freshman.
He sent the Huskies to the Final Four by hitting a long 3-pointer in the closing seconds to complete a double-digit comeback win over Duke. UConn lost the national championship game to Michigan in Lucas Oil Stadium.
Mullins should become a bigger part of the Huskies' attack in 2026-27, considering the loss of Alex Karaban and Tarris Reed Jr. to the NBA.
Here's where the way-too-early mocks drafts place Mullins next summer.
"Mullins didn't quite have the freshman season he wanted at UConn — he averaged 12.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 ***** ists per game — but his NCAA tournament heroics gave him renewed momentum going into an important summer. NBA teams think he's capable of a breakout season and should improve on last season's 42% from the field and 33% from 3, stepping into a more focal role on a team that uses shooters well. He would have been a first-round pick had he stayed in the 2026 draft.

Milwaukee Bucks fans have been forced to listen to Giannis Antetokounmpo trade speculation for far, far too long.
So while Monday, June 22, 2026, was truly the end of an era and a sad night for many, the fact that Antetokounmpo will finally be traded to the Miami Heat in a package that includes three first-round draft picks and Greenfield native Tyler Herro, the actual move certainly wasn't a shock to Bucks Nation.
Perhaps the almost daily ad nauseum banter from national media over the years of Antetokounmpo eventually leaving Milwaukee for a bigger market despite showing loyalty to the franchise by signing multiple contract extensions prepared them for Giannis' summer exit after 13 mostly glorious years with the Bucks.

Nebraska softball grabbed its third transfer from the portal on Friday, picking up a star outfielder from the Mid-American Conference. Toledo outfielder Samantha Bolding announced she is committing to Nebraska.
Bolding made the announcement following two seasons at Toledo, where she put together a strong start to her collegiate career. This past season, she batted .354 for the Rockets, delivering 52 hits, 39 runs scored, 35 RBIs, 13 home runs and 10 doubles across 47 games. The Greenfield, Indiana, native also earned a .687 slugging percentage, a .463 on-base percentage and a 1.150 OPS.
Bolding also stood out in her first year, winning MAC Freshman of the Year in 2025 and making second team All-MAC. In her freshman season, she finished with a .322 batting average with 46 hits, 38 RBIs, 31 runs scored, 13 home runs and eight doubles.
Head coach Rhonda Revelle spoke highly of Holding, focusing on her offensive capabilities.
“Sammie adds a powerful bat to our team, as she belted 13 home runs and 10 doubles last season. She is an athletic, versatile defensive player who also packs a punch offensively. We are ecstatic Sammie chose Nebraska, as she will be an important piece of the puzzle in our success in 2027.”
