Terry Labonte to replace Waltrip for Indy race

Terry Labonte will replace Michael Waltrip in next week's Nextel Cup race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Labonte, a two-time NASCAR champion, will drive the No. 55 Toyota and be ensured a spot in the field based on his status as a former champion.

Waltrip has struggled to make races this season, his first as a full-time owner and driver. He's qualified for just four of 19 events and has turned to Labonte to get a car in the field.

Labonte drove the No. 55 for Waltrip in Sonoma, Calif., and finished 35th on the road course. He's also scheduled to drive next month at Watkins Glen.

Also: This weekend's SCORE Las Vegas Terrible's Cup III starts tonight with a free Trophy-Truck Pit Crew Challenge at the Fremont Street Experience. The event begins at 8 p.m. and pays the winning team $5,000. An autograph session and race vehicle display begin at 6 p.m.

Racing is Friday and Saturday nights at Las Vegas Motor Speedway's dirt track.

Davenport to return by playing doubles

Three-time Grand Slam champion Lindsay Davenport will return to the pro tour by playing doubles at the Aug. 17-25 Pilot Pen tournament, a little more than two months after she gave birth to her first child.

Davenport won 51 singles titles, including the 1998 U.S. Open, 1999 Wimbledon and 2000 Australian Open.

She gave birth to son Jagger Jonathan Leach on June 10.
