INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Alex Palou will lead the field to green in the Indianapolis 500 after the young Spaniard put together the fastest four-lap pole run in history Sunday, edging Rinus VeeKay and Felix Rosenqvist to give Chip Ganassi Racing its third consecutive pole in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” Palou, who won on the road course race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway last weekend, whipped four laps around the historic 2.5-mile speedway at an average of 234.217 mph. That was a mere 0.007 mph faster than VeeKay, who still gave Ed Carpenter Racing a front-row starting spot for the ninth time in the last 11 years.“It means the world to me now, to the boys, to everybody,” said Palou, who is likely moving to Arrow McLaren next year.

Cotonú, Benín (CNN) — De pie sobre el pedregoso suelo del bullicioso estacionamiento del Fifa Park, Rokeeb Yaya regatea el precio de un auto rojo oscuro. Es uno de los dos centenares vehículos aparcados en largas filas que se extienden por el inmenso estacionamiento, algunos relucientes y nuevos, otros abollados y polvorientos.El auto que le interesa a Yaya, un Ford Escape 2008 fabricado en EE.UU., está a la venta por unos US$ 4.000. Es relativamente asequible — los coches estadounidenses son más baratos que la mayoría de las otras marcas del lote — y quiere cambiar su moto por un carro. No le interesa la historia del vehículo, dice, solo que se lo puede permitir.Pero el hecho de que este Ford acabara aquí — en uno de los mayores estacionamientos de la ciudad portuaria de Cotonú — contribuye a explicar cómo muchos de los autos occidentales que consumen mucha gasolina empiezan una segunda vida en África Occidental.Salen a subasta 230 autos clásicos de co...
