INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Graham Rahal and Marco Andretti have all the ingredients the IndyCar Series has been craving. They have famous family names, have reached Victory Lane and seem to enjoy playing up their growing rivalry.

The bold, budding stars represent a whole new kind of IndyCar driver -- the guys and gals who could finally become this series' cornerstone fixtures for a generation to come.

"This is a pretty young group," Rahal said. "There are a lot of young people here who you could see at this track for the next 20 years. I think that's a great thing and we hope that's the case."

MONACO (AP) — The Monaco Grand Prix should be less about tire degradation and more about pole position, as Formula One returns for its showcase race on a street circuit that is notoriously difficult to overtake on.

That will be good news for Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel, but less so for Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen.

Vettel, the three-time defending Formula One champion tops the championship standings by four points from Raikkonen, who closed the gap by finishing second at the Spanish GP with Vettel placing fourth.
