Team Penske has a 2016 championship trophy in its race shop.The IndyCar title trophy earned by Simon Pagenaud could be the only one that makes it into the facility this year.After two races in the quarterfinal round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup, both Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski are perilously close to being eliminated. Logano is tied with Austin Dillon for the final spot that would get in on points when the Chase field is cut from 12 to eight following the race next week at Talladega.Logano and Dillon are 13 points behind seventh-place Martin Truex Jr. They are six points ahead of Denny Hamlin, seven points ahead of Keselowski and 25 points ahead of Chase Elliott.Keselowski finished 38th after a bad mistake Sunday in the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway, where he tried to slide in front of Denny Hamlin, got loose and was turned by Hamlin. Keselowskis car was ripped apart by the infield grass.While Keselowski -- who entered the race with a 25-point gap on ninth in the standings -- said just days earlier a driver should know his situation, he didnt account for making a bad misjudgment as he did at Kansas.I probably could have raced less hard with a big points gap coming in, Keselowski said. With this format it is probably the smart thing to do, but I dont want to race like that.I want to race my guts out and go for wins. I dont want to points race. I dont care what the damn format is, I am going to give it my best.Keselowski has won the last two restrictor-plate races, and Logano is the defending winner of the Talladega fall race.I dont think it is a must-win situation, Keselowski said. I am not worried about it. I am going to go there and bust my butt to try to win, but I dont think it is a must-win yet.Logano finished third at Kansas, rallying after a pair of blown tires resulted in a horrible day a week earlier at Charlotte.I race to win, said Logano, who swept the quarterfinal round last year. Thats the way I race. I dont know a different way to race.Thats probably the route Im going to go. Im sure well talk about [strategy] this week. But Im a racer.Both drivers could have benefited if Kevin Harvick, who had an oil pump seal come apart at Charlotte, had not won at Kansas. He would have been seventh in the Chase grid, only three points ahead of Logano, heading into Talladega.[Third] is not disappointing because we still should be proud of the efforts that we had today, Logano said. But it would have been a lot different if he finished second.Penske has won one Cup driver championship -- with Keselowski in 2012. Last year, both Keselowski and Logano advanced to the semifinal round but failed to advance to be among the four drivers eligible for the title at Homestead.If my team keeps putting up this kind of effort, I dont worry about today, Keselowski said. We will win another race. We will win Talladega and other races and be fine.Logano also tried to be a little bit of a cheerleader after Kansas.We came out swinging, Logano said. Its what we had to do. We did everything we were supposed to do today.Our team executed perfectly.?... Overall Im proud of the effort and the job we did.Xfinity Series: Two weeks off to reboundThe Xfinity Series teams opened their semifinal round (their Round of 8) at Kansas but now have two weeks off until resuming their playoffs in Texas.No doubt if teams have something they want to try on a 1.5-mile track and are in desperate need of points, this will be the opportunity.With Kyle Busch winning at Kansas, no one has automatically advanced into the championship round at Homestead-Miami Speedway.Elliott Sadler (second in the race) and Daniel Suarez (third) have 12 points on fifth, with Blake Koch (ninth) ahead by five points. Justin Allgaier (14th) and Erik Jones (15th) are tied for the final spot, with Ryan Reed (16th) down by two, Brendan Gaughan (31st) down by 17 and Darrell Wallace Jr. (33rd) 18 points out.The last thing you want to do is go into this two-week break wondering, Oh man, how bad are we out, what do we have to do at Texas? Sadler said. And [you then] have to stare at the points for 14 days before you can get back into a race car.Suarez will remain busy. He goes to Mexico this week (with a NASCAR video crew in tow) and then will race a truck at Martinsville the following week.Im looking forward to spending a week there and then coming back and spend another off-weekend racing in trucks in Martinsville, Suarez said. Its going to be a good time and Im looking forward to enjoying it. Michael Jordan Jersey . 1, meaning problems for the doping controls at both major international sports events next year. The World Anti-Doping Agency provisionally suspended the Moscow Antidoping Center on Sunday, saying its operations must improve or a six-month ban on the facilitys accreditation will be imposed. Bobby Portis Jersey . While hell be dialed in to that tournament on a course he loves, you can forgive him if his eyes glance down the calendar just a bit, towards April. http://www.bullsofficialsshop.com/kids-wendell-carter-jr-bulls-jersey/ .H. -- Matt Kenseth made it 2 for 2 in the Chase, holding off teammate Kyle Busch to win Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Lauri Markkanen Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. Justin Holiday Jersey .S. -- Nikolaj Ehlers registered a hat trick for the third straight game and Jonathan Drouin had a goal and five assists as the Halifax Mooseheads hammered the host Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 10-1 on Tuesday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The San Francisco 49ers opened the Chip Kelly era with a dominating win while the Rams are still seeking their first points since moving back to Los Angeles.Carlos Hyde ran for 88 yards and two touchdowns and the San Francisco 49ers posted their first season-opening shutout in franchise history to spoil the return of the Los Angeles Rams with a 28-0 victory Monday night.Its huge any time you can get a conference win, opening night win, quarterback Blaine Gabbert said. Its a big momentum driver for the team.Shaun Draughn also ran for a score and Gabbert threw a touchdown pass to Vance McDonald to help the 49ers win their first game under coach Chip Kelly in convincing fashion.After Los Angeles football fans waited more than 21 years to once again be able to call a team their own, they need to wait at least another week to see that team score.That wasnt what we expected, certainly not what I expected for the first game back in L.A., coach Jeff Fisher said. We have some work to do obviously.Case Keenum threw for just 130 yards with two interceptions, star running back Todd Gurley was held to 47 yards on 17 carries and the Rams barely even threatened the Niners as they were held to 185 yards and 10 first downs all game.This team deserved better play from its quarterback and I intend on doing that, Keenum said.San Francisco wasnt much better offensively but managed to run the ball fairly effectively early, leading to the two first-half touchdowns by Hyde and Draughn.People counted us out before the season even started, Hyde said. We just stayed together as a group and worked together. Its us against the world. We just keep that mindset.STAR EJECTION: Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald was ejected in the fourth quarter when he made contact with an official. The infraction came after Rams linebacker Alec Ogletree gave an extra push to Gabbert following a scramble. As players on both teams started jawing, Donald pushed a 49ers player and then made contact with an official. Donald was called for two personal fouls on the play and ejected.I let my emotions get the best of me, Donald said. No excuses.THIRD DOWN WOES: After convertinng their first third-down try on the opening drive, the Rams came up empty the next 10 times they faced a third down.dddddddddddd They finally broke that drought when Keenum completed a 5-yard pass to Tavon Austin on third-and-4 late in the third quarter to get to the San Francisco 27. Two plays later, Keenum negated that good play by throwing his second interception of the game .REPEAT PERFORMANCE: The 49ers opened the Kelly era in a similar fashion to the way they opened last year under first-year coach Jim Tomsula. San Francisco dominated Minnesota 20-3 in the late Monday night opener but won only four other games all season, leading to Tomsulas firing. This win was San Franciscos first shutout since beating the Jets 34-0 in 2012.The credit doesnt go to me, it goes to our defense and defensive staff, Kelly said. We felt good about our defense going into the game, but you never really know until you get in the game. Its something for us to build on.ANTHEM PROTEST: San Franciscos Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid once again kneeled during the national anthem , while a few other players protested by raising their fists. Rams defensive lineman Robert Quinn and receiver Kenny Britt and Niners linebacker Eli Harold and safety Antoine Bethea all held up their fists in protest. Kaepernick came on late with the game out of hand.DOWN DRAFT PICKS: Both the Rams and Niners traded up for first-round picks in April with Los Angeles mortgaging the future to take quarterback Jared Goff first overall and San Francisco trading back into the first round to select guard Joshua Garnett 28th. Neither player even dressed for the opener. Goff was inactive as the third QB for the Rams and Garnett is buried on the depth chart in San Francisco.BACKWARD PASS: On the opening drive of the second half, Gabbert completed a pass to himself when his throw was deflected by T.J. McDonald and he caught it. Unfortunately for the Niners, he was quickly tackled by McDonald for a loss of 16 yards.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Adidas Hockey Jerseys Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Nike Basketball Jerseys Cheap Football Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Baseball Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap MLB Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys China Stitched NFL Jerseys Cheap Custom Jerseys China Cheap Basketball Jerseys Authentic NFL Jerseys China Cheap College Jerseys Wholesale Football Jerseys ' ' '
