The 24-year-old edged Alabama's Fisher Anaya by just two points, with Pake South of Texas finishing third at 569 points. Hudson took the points lead after the circuit's second stop and held it through the rest of the season, but the race stayed tight until the final day on the St. Lawrence River.

The AOY title comes with a $100,000 check, bringing McKinney's career earnings to more than $900,000 after just three seasons on the Bassmaster Elite Series. Johnston earned a $50,000 bonus for his runner-up finish in the standings.

PHILADELPHIA -- September 01, 2026 -- David Lozano, a Spanish rider with type 1 diabetes, won the King of the Mountains classification at the Philadelphia Cycling Classic on Saturday, claiming the climber's jersey as America's most prestigious one-day race returned after a decade away.

CLAYTON, N.Y. -- September 01, 2026 -- Evan Kung, a Canadian pro fighting to keep his roster spot on the Bassmaster Elite Series, won the 2026 Lowrance Bassmaster Elite at St. Lawrence River on Aug. 30 with a four-day total of 109 pounds, 9 ounces. The catch set a new Bassmaster record for the heaviest winning weight made up entirely of smallmouth bass. The win also locked in Kung's berth at the 2027 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic presented by Under Armour, set for next March.

Kung's total overtook the previous mark of 105 pounds, set by Patrick Walters at the same river in 2023, and made him a first-time member of the Bassmaster Century Club. "This is by far my biggest win," Kung said. "It was a tough year for me, so it was great to end it like this. I couldn't think of a better ending."

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- August 28, 2026 -- Fortuna Düsseldorf beat VfB Stuttgart II 1-0 on Friday night in the third matchday of Germany's 3. Liga, picking up its first win of the season after opening the campaign with two straight losses. Andreas Müller scored the only goal. Both clubs' coaches described the match as scrappy and low on quality, with Stuttgart II head coach Nico Willig calling the winning goal a classic bad-luck own-side error.

Düsseldorf, which dropped from the 2. Bundesliga last season, had rebuilt its squad with 16 to 17 new signings over the summer. Head coach Alexander Ende said the team played a solid preseason but stumbled out of the gate, losing a difficult away match at Mannheim before following it with a poor home performance. He said breaking that pattern required grinding, defensive work rather than open, attacking football, and that keeping a clean sheet mattered more than style points on the night.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 19, 2026 – Audi brought its performance credentials to the Miami Grand Prix at the end of April, marking the brand's first US Formula 1 appearance as a factory team and debuting the all-new Audi RS 5 in the F1 Pirelli Hot Lap Program for the first time on American soil. The weekend spanned the racetrack at Miami Gardens and the streets of Wynwood, with city-wide fan activations, partner events, and premium hospitality at Turn 1 running from April 30 through May 3. For Audi, the Miami debut carried particular significance — it was the brand's first US factory racing appearance since competing in Formula E in New York City in 2021.
