Newman takes sixth Loudon pole

Ryan Newman claimed pole position for Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Chase round at New Hampshire, following a rain-interrupted qualifying session. The Stewart Haas Racing driver made it two-for-two on pole positions at the one-mile oval, where he won in July after setting the pace in qualifying. His sixth career pole at Loudon comes only four days after his team-mate Tony Stewart won for the first time this season in a rain-delayed race at Chicagoland Speedway

Hamilton tops shortened first practice

Lewis Hamilton was quickest for McLaren in a truncated opening practice session for the Singapore Grand Prix. Issues with the kerbing on the exit of Turns 3 and 14 developed during support race session, and led to an half-hour delay while the kerbs were removed before the session could get underway. With only a two-hour gap between Friday practice sessions in Singapore, practice one was reduced to just 60 minutes to keep the timetable on schedule, although a further problem with the kerbing - this time at Turn 7 - brought the red flags out eight minutes from the end.
