FORT WORTH, Texas -- Kevin Harvick became a five-time NASCAR Nationwide winner at Texas, leading 127 of 200 laps on Saturday night. Colin Kaepernick 49ers Jersey . Ricky Stenhouse Jr. had the most important finish, battling an ill-handling car that slid around the track all night and still managed to finish fourth. That got his No. 6 Roush Fenway Ford even with Elliott Sadler for the Nationwide points lead with two races remaining. "I didnt think we would get it back to a top-five car. We werent near as far behind as we were at Kansas though so it gave us a little hope," said Stenhouse, who came from two laps down to win the last race at Kansas. "The cautions came out and we were able to work on it as much as we could and I dont think there were any more adjustments we could do to it to get it tight enough." Sadler was sixth, only two spots behind Stenhouse, on the final restart with 18 laps left at the 1 1/2-mile high-banked track. But the No. 2 Richard Childress Racing Chevy started slipping back, and lost the points lead after dropping out of the top 10 with three laps left. He finished 11th. Stenhouse, the defending Nationwide champion, made up a six-point deficit in the standings. He has the tiebreaker because of his six victories, two more than Sadler. "It doesnt really matter now. We have to be leading after Homestead," Stenhouse said. "That is still our goal and still what we have our eye on. We have gained some points the last two weeks which is good and you saw last year that if you tie it goes to the most wins and I think we have that covered right now and we will keep plugging away." The series goes to Phoenix next week, where Sadler won and Stenhouse was third in the second race of the season back in March. The season finale is at Homestead. Harvick got his second Nationwide victory this season, and the 39th of his career. He finished in his No. 33 Chevrolet 1.63 seconds ahead of Ryan Blaneys Dodge. Kyle Busch, the pole-sitter, was third. Busch is still winless in 20 starts on the Nationwide Series this season. He won at least eight races in each of the past four years, including a stretch of five consecutive wins at Texas from 2008-10 that made him the winningest driver in that series at the track before being matched by Harvick. Stenhouse started fifth, but was down to 13th after 80 laps. After making some adjustments during a caution, he managed to get back in the top 10 within the next 45 laps, though he was six spots and 8 seconds behind Sadler at the time. When Joey Gase spun with 45 laps to go, Stenhouses crew made some drastic changes to his car in hopes of tightening it up. And that apparently worked enough. "We were still sliding around. I think total we went three down on the track bar, put a rubber in the left rear and four rounds in the left rear," Stenhouse said. "It didnt touch it as much as I thought it would or needed it to." On the restart with 40 laps left, he was 14th, four spots behind Sadler. Within 10 laps after that, Stenhouse had passed Sadler and was running fifth. Sadler was still within striking distance of Stenhouse, and ahead in the points, until the 197th lap, when he was passed by Joey Logano and Cole Whitt, dropping him to 12th. Car owner Richard Childress said he still feels good about Sadlers chances in the championship chase. "I think right there at the end, he got tight, a bunch of those cars got to racing real hard," Childress said. "He got tight, thats what got him. The cars that got tires came up through there, and that cost him." Nobody had enough to overtake Harvick, who hadnt run the Nationwide race at Texas since the fall race two years ago. Denny Hamlin finished fifth ahead of Austin Dillon, who is third in the points chase 21 back. After the checkered flag, Hamlin knocked Dillon into the pit entry wall as retaliation for the rookie pushing him down to the apron during the closing laps and then running into him after the race. "I was three-wide on the inside and youve got to give room. ... He crowds really, really bad," Hamlin said. "Thats part of it. If youre going to pinch, youre going to pay." Delanie Walker Jersey . -- Omar Cummings scored in the 58th minute to help lead the Colorado Rapids to a 2-0 victory over the Chicago Fire on Sunday night. Frank Gore White Jersey .A. spotlight. Not that steering clear of top billing has hurt this magical run, two wins from concluding in the franchises first Stanley Cup banner. http://www.nfl49ersfansstore.com/nike-mike-iupati-49ers-jersey/ . One-Two Punch - Hakeem Nicks entered the season as one of the best wideouts in the game and after a few quieter outings to end the season, Nicks erupted in the playoffs with 28 catches for 444 yards and four touchdowns in four games. Colin Kaepernick Camo Jersey . Ajax will host Man United on Feb. 16 in a clash of clubs who have been European champion a combined seven times. "Its two teams that should have been in the Champions League still," Ajax commercial director Henri van der Aat told The Associated Press. Randy Moss Womens Jersey . The No. 1 overall draft pick threw his first NFL pass for a long touchdown, just like Peyton Manning in 1998, then led Indianapolis to two more touchdowns. NEW YORK -- Danilo Gallinari outplayed Carmelo Anthony in the first meeting since they were swapped in a blockbuster trade, scoring a career-high 37 points as the Denver Nuggets outlasted the New York Knicks 119-114 in double-overtime on Saturday night. Al Harrington, another former Knicks forward, scored 22 of his 24 points after halftime for the Nuggets, allowing them to withstand Anthonys attempt to rally the Knicks after his poor shooting had them behind until the final minutes of regulation. Anthony finished with 25 points and 10 rebounds, missing 20 of 30 shots in the Knicks sixth straight loss. He missed 14 of his first 17 shots and heard boos, then made his final four of regulation to nearly help New York pull it out. Anthony, who spent the first 7 1/2 years of his career with the Nuggets before they granted him a trade, was on his way to a nightmare first game against them. He threw away a pass that Gallinari turned into the tiebreaking layup with 5:19 left in regulation, committed an offensive foul on his next possession that Nene followed with a dunk for a four-point lead, and Denver was up six with under 2 1/2 minutes remaining. But Anthony finally got going with some drives to the basket, and after Gallinari managed only one free throw with 7.3 seconds left, Anthony made a jumper with three defenders around him to tie it at 98 with 1.7 seconds to go. His three-pointer with 2:33 left in the first OT snapped a 100-all tie, and after Andre Miller tied it with a desperation three to beat the shot clock, Anthony knocked in a jumper to put New York back ahead with 1:02 remaining. It stayed that way until Nene was fouled grabbing the rebound of Anthonys missed jumper with 9.2 seconds left, making both free throws to tie it again. Anthony lost the ball out of bounds with 0.3 seconds left, and the Knicks dodged a bullet when Millers lob pass to an unguarded Corey Brewer hit the rim and bounced away, setting up another OT. The Knicks led for the final time at 111-110 on Anthonys jumper with 1:38 to play, but Gallinari made two free throws and Harrington hit a 3-pointer from the corner to make it 115-111 with 46 seconds to go. Nene had 12 points and 13 rebounds for the Nuggets, who played without starting guard Arron Afflalo because of a groin injury. Miller started for him and had 14 points and 12 assists as Denver won its fourth straight and improved to 7-0 against the Eastern Conference. Anthony has been bothered by a sore left wrist for more than week, perhaps contributiing to his awful shooting in that stretch. Justin Smith Jersey. He was frustrated enough to get ejected from Fridays loss to Milwaukee, and he was booed in the second half of this one as jumpers kept clanging off the rim. Besides Gallinari, the Knicks lottery pick in 2008, the Nuggets also got Timofey Mozgov, Raymond Felton and Wilson Chandler, who all were among the Knicks top six players. Thats a lot to give up even for a potent scorer like Anthony -- too much, many Knicks fans thought, and there were reports former team president Donnie Walsh did, too, but he was overruled by Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan. The lack of depth has been crippling this season, where the Knicks have no reliable scorer beyond Anthony and Amare Stoudemire. The Nuggets, meanwhile, thrive because of their balance, with a number of players capable of leading them in scoring. And though Denver general manager Masai Ujiri said after the deal that the Nuggets "got killed," theyve been much better since the deal. Denver came in with a 29-12 mark in the regular season since the trade, while New York was just 20-23. Anthony chatted with coach George Karl for about five minutes before the game in the Denver locker-room. One of the topics of their talk: the fact they hadnt talked since the trade. "I told him my philosophy is usually sometimes its best to wait about six, seven, eight months and next time we see each other we should go to dinner," Karl said. "And I think we will." The Knicks trailed 25-24 after one quarter then got to see their outside shots fall for one of the few times all season. New York made its first five three-point attempts of the second quarter, including three by Bill Walker, to open a 42-30 lead. The Knicks took a 54-46 advantage into the half, but they came out the locker room with four turnovers in the first 2:07 of the third quarter as Denver quickly got back in it, and Harrington made the final two baskets of the period to tie it at 72. Notes: The Knicks dont play in Denver this season. Anthony had been hoping to get that trip out of the way without having to wait until next year. ... Jeremy Lin had 28 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds, and Jerome Jordan scored 26 points as Erie beat Maine 122-113 on Friday night in the NBA Development League. Lin and Jordan were the first D-League assignments in Knicks history. ... Boxing champion Miguel Cotto, Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia and former Mets catcher Mike Piazza were seated courtside. ' ' ' |
