WEST ALLIS, Wis. — Another dose of Milwaukee Mile misfortune for Helio Castroneves gave Tony Kanaan an IndyCar Series victory Sunday.Castroneves, who started from the pole at the suburban Milwaukee track and led several times in the ABC Supply/A.J. Foyt 225, was cruising toward an easy win when the rear wing on his Team Penske Dallara collapsed, sending him spinning into the wall 25 laps from the finish.That gave the lead to Kanaan, his fellow Brazilian and longtime friend, who stayed out front he rest of the way to record his second straight win here and the ninth of his IndyCar career.Andretti Green Racing teammate Dario Franchitti, coming off a victory last week in the Indianapolis 500, finished second.

LUSAKA, Zambia — At least 12 soccer fans were crushed to death as a crowd rushed from the stadium after Zambia's victory in an African Cup qualifier, official media said Sunday.Fans were in a hurry to leave because the match against Republic of Congo, which Zambia won 3-0, started an hour late — the Sudanese referee arrived only three hours before kickoff.
