Racing
NEWTON, Iowa — Ryan Blaney survived four cautions in the last 24 laps at Iowa Speedway to win the NASCAR Xfinity race for his first victory of the season on Saturday.
The 21-year-old Blaney erased the sting of a disappointing runner-up finish last week in Indianapolis by maintaining his lead through a second green-white-checkered finish on the 0.894-mile oval.
Blaney led a track-record 252 laps — two more than were originally scheduled — and won after finishing second three times in his other six Xfinity starts this season.

Champions Tour
BLAINE, Minn. — Defending champion Kenny Perry had a hole-in-one and matched the 3M Championship record with an 11-under 61 to take a four-stroke lead in the Champions Tour’s event.
