A humble Corolla running on liquid hydrogen has made its racing debut, part of a move to bring the futuristic technology into the racing world and to demonstrate Toyota Motor Corp.’s resolve to develop hydrogen vehicles. The Corolla is powered by a combustion engine common in regular cars, and not by a battery and motor that drive electric vehicles. The car won’t be appearing in dealerships anytime soon. Toyota officials said the 24-hour race at Fuji Speedway near Mount Fuji was just meant to test the technology. Toyota, a powerhouse for hybrids, has fallen behind in the global shift to battery EVs. But it’s been banking on hydrogen for years.

Fry has appeared in three NFL games with the Falcons, Chiefs and Bengals, making five of six field goals but also missing two of seven extra points. The Broncos parted ways with their last holdover from their Super Bowl 50-winning team in part to save $2.5 million in cap space.
