WENDOVER, Utah -- The only person to break the sound barrier in a car has earned another world record, this time in a show of force for hydrogen power.
British driver Andy Green reached 406.320 mph in a car powered by two hydrogen internal combustion engines, setting the record for that vehicle category, according to the international governing body of motor sports.
The 64-year-old retired Royal Air Force pilot rocketed across the crystalline crust at Utah's famous Bonneville Salt Flats in a car engineered by British construction equipment manufacturer JCB.
Tuesday's feat didn't come close to approaching his overall land-speed record of 763 mph, which he set in 1997.
Carrington explains post
DiJonai Carrington of the Chicago Sky says she never claimed that the assessment of a Flagrant 2 foul on her on Saturday in a game against Indiana was the result of white privilege.
Carrington came from behind and hit the Fever's Sophie Cunningham in the head and neck on a fast-break layup, knocking her to the court as the shot went in. The play was reviewed and upgraded to a Flagrant 2 after the referee said there was windup, impact and follow-through on the foul.
Carrington is Black and Cunningham is white. After Carrington was ejected, she posted "WHITE PRIVILEGE" on social media and tagged the Fever.
"I would never use that term as a rhetorical weapon knowing the historical and social weight it holds," she said.
