Now, IndyCar drivers can finally evaluate the actual track. "I didn't know if it was going to be fun or not to drive.

RENO, Nevada (AP) — A wildfire that mushroomed over the weekend in the Sierra Nevada foothills spread perilously close to neighborhoods in Reno, Nevada, forcing authorities to urge more than 90,000 residents to leave their homes.

Schools across Washoe County were closed Monday because of the evacuations and to keep roads clear for emergency crews. Nevada's governor ...
