Thai Police Arrest Suspected Chinese Gambling Kingpin

That leaves five of the 12 Playoff spots wide open for any currently winless driver who can claim a victory in one of the next six races, starting with Saturday's New Holland 250 at Michigan International Speedway (3:30 p.m. ET on USA, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

"You can have a baseline interpretation," Harvick said, "but it seems to have migrated in a number of different directions at different race tracks and different scenarios this year, just because of the different characteristics that come with the car.

In one clip posted online, police and security personnel could be seen walking hurriedly through the gaming area of the hotel while guests could still be seen sitting at the slot machines, seemingly unaware of what was unfolding around them. 

Harvick is a five-time winner at the track, and four of those victories have come after a repaving in 2012. Before last year's race, when he finished 14th, Harvick had won three straight races (and four of five) at the 2-mile speedway.

After turning a blistering lap on Saturday at Michigan International Speedway, Bubba Wallace had no idea he had won the pole for Sunday's Firekeepers Casino 400 (3 p.m.
ET on USA, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

In Saturday's time trials, Ford teammates Joey Logano and Austin Cindric qualified fourth and fifth, respectively, with Tyler Reddick, Martin Truex Jr., Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin and Erik Jones completing the top 10.

"This is one of those race tracks where it just takes everything. You've got to have power. You've got to have the right amount of downforce and right amount of drag out of it. You've got to hit that balance just right. You've got to call the race just right. Michigan is still Michigan. I don't see that being very different than what it's been in the past."

She Zhijiang, 40, a Chinese national who also holds a Cambodian passport, was arrested last week based on an international warrant and an Interpol red notice, Thailand's deputy police spokesman Kissana Phathanacharoen said.
Police believe one person was shot with a further two injured on the eighth floor of the hotel according to Several people posted on social media saying the resort had been placed into lockdown and dozens of police officers had swooped on the scene. 

BANGKOK, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Thai police have arrested a Chinese fugitive wanted by Beijing for allegedly running illegal online gambling operations and will soon extradite him to China, the police told Reuters on Monday.

You go to some of these places, I think Darlington is a good example, where California, Darlington -- places that have been super rough -- have been really difficult to navigate in traffic, and even by yourself sometimes, because of the way that the cars bounce around."

According to media reports, She is the chairman of Yatai International Holdings Group, which has made gaming investments in Cambodia, the Philippines and, most recently, developed the $15 billion casino, entertainment and tourism complex in Myanmar's Kayin State called Shwe Kokko.

But before last Saturday's unlucky 23rd-place finish at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course, Creed had recorded two straight fifth-place finishes, his first two top fives of the season. Creed hasn't raced at Michigan in the Xfinity Series, but in two NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts at the track, the former series champion has a runner-up finish to his credit.

"About time," Wallace said.
"It took me five years to get my first pole. It's a testament to 23XI, everybody on the No. 23 team. They've been doing a tremendous job all year long, really. Just haven't had the finishes we deserve, but proud for everybody just sticking through it.

At the other end of the spectrum is JR Motorsports' Josh Berry, who already has locked up a Playoff spot with two victories this season. In his only start at Michigan -- in a relief role for injured Michael Annett last season -- Berry led 24 laps and finished fourth in a race he feels he should have won.

His run of bad luck included a disqualification after running second at Pocono, where post-race inspection revealed tape added to the nose of his Camry and that of ostensible race winner Denny Hamlin, who also was disqualified.

"And then we just stayed on the phone together because she told me, `There's an active shooter and shots have been fired in the mall.' And at that point, active shooter or somebody shooting at another person, whatever shots being fired, you don't know.

Cambodia banned online gambling in 2019 after it said the industry has been used by foreign criminals to extort customers and launder illicit earnings, following the proliferation of Chinese-run casinos in the country.

That's an opportunity for Sheldon Creed, who in a star-crossed season currently is 50 points below the Playoff cut line.
