VFL with Renaldo Wynn Joe Gibbs Leadership Segment
Sunday's Nascar Championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway was an emotional victory for the entire JGR team. Kyle Busch won his second championship with a five-second lead over his teammate and runner up, Martin Truex, Jr., who, like his teammate Denny Hamlin, had pit issues that cost them the race. It was a significant championship for the entire organization, as J.D. Gibbs, JGR's president, passed away in January of this year.
Tim Yeager and I caught up with former 13 year NFL veteran, Renaldo Wynn, who played for Coach Gibbs at the Redskins and who worked for Joe Gibbs Racing the past 8 years. When asked what sets Coach Gibbs apart as a leader, Renaldo replied that it has everything to do with Gibbs speaking vision into his leaders. Watch this clip to hear Renaldo describe Gibbs' leadership style.

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.
Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.
The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.
Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.
Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.
