Auto racing:

Drivers on Saturday night will complete the final 177 laps of the 248lap Firestone 600 IndyCar race at Texas Motor Speedway that was red-flagged because of rain in June. The race should be completed within 90 minutes. The race resumes with James Hinchcliffe in the lead, Ryan Hunter-Reay second and Mikhail Aleshin third.

Rookie rider Lilian Calmejane of France won the fourth stage of the Spanish Vuelta, while Colombian Darwin Atapuma took the overall lead of the grand tour in San Andres De Teixido, Spain. Atapuma finished second. American rider Benjamin King finished third, while Chris Froome and fellow title hopefuls Nairo Quintana, Alejandro Valverde and Alberto Contador all crossed in a tight bunch more than two minutes after Calmejane.

The Minnesota Wild will celebrate goals with Prince’s song “Let’s Go Crazy” this season. It’s among the signature songs of the musical icon, who was found dead from an accidental fentanyl overdose at his home in Chanhassen, Minn.

Cycling: Hockey:

Darren Clarke got an extra week to start mulling over his three captain’s picks for Europe in the Ryder Cup because the top nine already are set. Matthew Fitzpatrick finished fifth in the Czech Masters and locked up no worse than the final spot.

Davis Love III has a little more time, and he likely will need it.

Brandt Snedeker’s tie for third in the Wyndham Championship moved him up three spots to No. 6, and it would take a peculiar set of circumstances

Police in Rio de Janeiro have begun interrogating the first of three of Ireland’s top Olympic executives in a ticket-scalping investigation.

Secretary General Dermot Henihan was seen arriving at Rio’s police headquarters Tuesday. Team leader Kevin Kilty and chief executive Stephen Martin are also expected.

Chief investigator Ronaldo to bump him out of the top eight. The Barclays this week at Bethpage Black is the final qualifying event.

The top five already have clinched a spot on the American team — Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Phil Mickelson, Jimmy Walker and Brooks Koepka. Snedeker is followed by Zach Johnson, Oliveira said the three agreed to answer questions after their passports, phones and laptops were recently seized in an Olympic Village raid.

Olympic Council of Ireland President Patrick Hickey was arrested last week and is being held in Rio’s Bangu prison complex as the investigation expands.

Authorities say the company Pro 10 Sports Management was created to facilitate the transfer of tickets between the Irish Olympic Committee and an unauthorized vendor who would sell them for high fees disguised who leads Patrick Reed at No. 8 by $157,602.

The Barclays has an $8.5 million purse, so players still can make up ground.

Even so, the start of the FedEx Cup playoffs effectively serves as a Ryder Cup qualifier for 14 players.

The winner of the Barclays gets $1.53 million. Every $1,000 counts as a Ryder Cup point, so that’s 1,530 points. And that means Charley Hoffman at No. 22 is the lowest player in the standings with a mathematical chance at qualifying. Kevin Kisner and Justin Thomas, who won tournaments last fall that did not count, are among those who can’t qualify.

Reed, meanwhile, is the equivalent of $30,655 ahead of J.B. Holmes, who missed as hospitality services.

Russian scandal:

Russia’s Paralympic team was barred from the games in Rio de Janeiro as punishment for a state-backed doping program.

Sport’s highest court upheld a decision by the International Paralympic Committee to exclude the sports superpower. It was a step the IOC declined to take when it had the chance last month.

The 267 entries earned by Russian Paralympic athletes in 18 sports will be allocated to other nations for the Sept. 7-18 games.

Russia won 36 gold medals the cut last week at the Wyndham. Right behind Holmes are Bubba Watson, Olympic bronze medalist Matt Kuchar and Rickie Fowler.

Fowler flew from the Olympics in Rio to North Carolina to try to boost his Ryder Cup points. He tied for 22nd and now is just over $365,000 behind Reed, meaning Fowler would have to finish no worse than a two-way tie for fourth to have a mathematical chance (and that assumes Reed misses the cut).

Love won’t have to make his first three captain’s picks until after the third playoff event at the BMW Championship, and his fourth pick will be made immediately after the Tour Championship.

So there’s still time for him — and for the players. at the 2012 Paralympics, second-most in London, and was a runaway table-topping leader at its home 2014 Winter Paralympics.

The Sochi Games and Winter Paralympics are now notorious for results corrupted by state-funded agencies plotting to swap tainted doping samples from Russian athletes for clean ones at official testing laboratories.

CAS dismissed the Russian Paralympic Committee’s appeal against exclusion from competing in Rio after a hearing was held in Brazil on Monday.
