Loeb does it again
A last-race win gave Sebastien Loeb his sixth World Rally Championship title. Loeb started the Rally of Great Britain a point behind Mikko Hirvonen, but a start-to-finish win gave Loeb and his Citroen co-driver, Daniel Elenas, their seventh rally win for the year and a one-point advantage in the championship. Loeb said: ``It's never easy to compare one title with another, but I think this is the best one in terms of the sporting battle we had.''
Ambrose's tums pain
Fading brakes and a tangle with Matt Kenseth ended Marcos Ambrose's hopes of a strong result in the Tums Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia on Monday. Ambrose finished 27th in the the 500-lap race on the smaller half-mile oval. It was an up and down weekend for the former V8 Supercar racer. He was eighth fastest in the sole practice session, but qualified a lowly 34th. Ambrose is 17th in the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points with four races to go.
