Indy 500 Saga Far From Over

Unser’s appeal was denied and he warned of court if needed, while Penske argued equal infractions by others. He remained optimistic about a possible USAC panel review.

NLRB Moves In On MLB Talks To Avert Strike
Washington AP reports NLRB general counsel Lubbers issued a complaint faulting owners for withholding financial data essential for players union bargaining. He will ask the board to seek voluntary turnover or a federal injunction to force data release, potentially delaying a May 20 strike without waiving a June 1 strike right. Orioles representative Belanger voiced hope injunctive relief could avert a walkout.
