Gurney was a racer’s racer, a consummate and versatile professional who won in everything he drove. He was also a car builder, innovator, team owner, and mentor to a host of other racers. I was fortunate to have crossed paths with him and many of his creations in the course of my involvement in racing, and I’d like to share a few of those memories.

Nevada Wolf Pack hosts Wyoming Cowboys on Wednesday

RENO — Two streaks are on the line when the Wyoming Cowboys visit Nevada on Wednesday. Nevada has won its first two Mountain West games, and is seeking to get its first 3-0 conference start under coach Eric Musselman. It would be the best start since the 2013-14 team under David Carter started 4-0. The Pack is also putting its 12-game home win streak on the line.
