Longmont resident completes first trucks race
Cassten Everidge made history Friday night, becoming the first known Longmont resident to compete in a NASCAR national series race.
The 28-year-old finished 32nd in the TSport 200, a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park. The 200-lap event served as a prelude to Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series Brickyard 400 at nearby Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
“When you’re in racing for as long as my Everidge Racing crew has been — especially my dad and my grandpa — NASCAR is always kind of the North Star,” Everidge told the Daily Camera last week.

Mets slugger Juan Soto goes on 10-day injured list
New York Mets slugger Juan Soto was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left calf strain that’s expected to sideline him for at least three weeks and probably more.
The five-time All-Star underwent imaging that revealed a grade 2 strain, interim manager Andy Green said.
Soto missed 15 games from April 4-21 with a right calf strain and the Mets went 3-12 without him — losing their last 12 games during that stretch.
Soto is hitting .283 with 21 homers, 52 RBIs and an NL-best .947 OPS in 84 games this season.

Joshua storms back from two knockdowns
JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia >> Former two-time world champion Anthony Joshua recovered from two knockdowns to knock out Kristian Prenga in the second round of a dramatic non-title heavyweight fight on Saturday.
The comeback also saved possibly the biggest fight in British boxing history. Joshua and Tyson Fury have reportedly signed a contract to meet for the first time later this year, but it was on condition they came through warm-up bouts this weekend. Fury played his part on Friday by forcing Mariusz Wach to retire.
