He followed that on Saturday by driving an 0-2 fastball into the stands, just out of the reach of a leaping Lourdes Gurriel Jr.Tatis led the National League with 42 homers in 2021.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsSource

Jeb Burton wins Xfinity Series crash-fest at Talladega

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:57:20 GMT

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Jeb Burton won his second career Xfinity Series race at Talladega Superspeedway in a Saturday crash-fest that had two red-flag stoppages and took more than three hours to complete. Burton won in double overtime driving for Jordan Anderson Racing, which scored its first career victory when Burton crossed the finish line. Fittingly for this race, multiple cars crashed behind Burton as he took the checkered flag. And, Burton was unable to do a victory burnout because he broke the transmission on his Chevrolet. Burton, son of Daytona 500 winner Ward Burton, scored his only other Xfinity victory in 2021 at this same track. His owner, Jordan Anderson, is also a driver and was airlifted out of Talladega last October following a fiery crash in the Truck Series. The race had 12 cautions and only 19 of the 38 entries finished on the lead lap. Daniel Hemric’s race ended in the first overtime when he was crashed as the leader trying to throw a block and his car ende...
