McGregor was found in a Salt Lake City hotel room and pronounced dead on April 20. He was 48. Police spokeswoman Sgt. Robin Snyder said Thursday that homicide detectives got the state medical examiner's report this week. She says the medical examiner concluded the death was natural and there were no drugs in McGregor's system, but police will not release any other details, including the actual cause of death. Autopsy reports are not public records under Utah state law. Chief medical examiner Todd Grey did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press on Thursday. Denver television station KCNC first reported the medical examiner's findings. Nascar-DRIVERS FINED NASCAR discouraging negative spin of sport NEWTON, Iowa (AP) NASCAR president Mike Helton says that while the league encourages emotion from its drivers, it doesn't want anyone sending the message that the sport isn't worth watching. Helton's comments came after a report by The Associated Press said that NASCAR has fined at least two of its top drivers this season for making critical comments about the circuit. People familiar with the penalties told the AP the comments were considered disparaging to the sport. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because NASCAR was not publicly identifying the topflight drivers it fined. They said one driver was penalized as much as $50,000. Helton says that NASCAR is striving to send a positive message about the sport. He says the penalized drivers haven't been named because NASCAR views it as similar to conversation officials might have with drivers after an on-track incident. Those talks usually remains private, as well. MARINERS-WHITE SOX Castro 2 homers, Sox win 11th straight at home CHICAGO (AP) Ramon Castro homered twice and Paul Konerko went deep for the fourth straight game Thursday night, leading the Chicago White Sox to their 11th consecutive home victory, 9-5 over the Seattle Mariners. Carlos Quentin also homered for the White Sox, whose previous home winning streak this long came in 1989 two years before they left old Comiskey Park for U.S. Cellular Field. Since June 9, AL Central-leading Chicago is 33-11 overall and 18-1 at home. Before the surge, the White Sox were 24-33 and 9 1/2 games behind Minnesota. They are now 57-44 and 1 1/2 games in front. Castro is batting .400 with five home runs and 11 RBIs in his last 13 games. It was his second career two-homer game, the other coming in 2002 when he was with Florida.
