Racing great Gurney dies

Dan Gurney, the first driver to win in Formula One, IndyCar and NASCAR, died in Newport Beach, Calif., from complications of pneumonia. He was 86.

Gurney began racing in 1955 and won in nearly every racing series he attempted. He won the Belgian Grand Prix in 1967 in his own car, the first and only time an American won an F1 race in a car of his own design.

Gurney teamed with AJ Foyt that year to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in a Ford GT40, and he’s often credited with starting the tradition of spraying the champagne from the podium at that race.

Gurney retired from driving in 1970 with 51 wins.

SKIING

Austrian star Marcel Hirscher finished 0.93 of a second ahead of Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway in the men’s slalom in Wengen, Switzerland.

Hirscher’s domination was so complete he also had the fastest time in the second run, 0.34 quicker than Kristoffersen, by attacking his rival’s target rather than protecting his lead.
