DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - It has been right there, but Scott Steckly has not been able to grasp the brass ring on a road course. A great deal of pride can be taken in the numbers considering the competition. In 27 career NASCAR Canadian Tire Series road course starts, the Milverton, Ontario driver has recorded 17 top-five and 20 top-10 finishes which includes five second-place efforts. While proud of his road-racing résumé, it just adds to Stecklys hunger. "Weve done pretty well overall which is good for points," said Steckly. "Were all out here to win races, though." Winning is an experience the No. 22 Canadian Tire/Johnsonville Dodge team has. With 11 career wins Steckly has the third-highest total in series history behind D.J. Kennington (18) and Andrew Ranger (16). The three drivers have combined to claim all six series titles. Ranger and J.R. Fitzpatrick have left the pickings slim on road courses by combining to win 20 of the 27 events since the series inception in 2007. Despite finishing fourth in the final point standings last season, it was not a typical Steckly campaign. It was his first winless season since before the NASCAR era in Canada and, yes, there was one that got away. Last July in Edmonton, Alberta, Steckly was blowing everyone away with leads of over 10 seconds on the 2.256-mile road course. However, a pair of late-race cautions tightened the field. On the second restart Steckly and Fitzpatrick got tangled up racing for the lead opening the door for Kennington to slide through the gap and on to victory. "We had that one," said Steckly after the race. "Winning a road course race is a goal of ours and it should have been accomplished today." Over the years Steckly has been solid at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario, the site of this years season opener. In six starts, Steckly has four top fives with a career-best finish of third coming last season which was one of his two starts from the pole position on the 2.459-mile road course. His qualifying run last May established a new track record for the series. "Weve been decent there," he said. "If there is a track that Id like to get our first road win at; its Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. It would be a great fit with Canadian Tire on our car." That wouldnt be the only potential benefit for Steckly, who began his championship-winning campaigns in 2008 and 2011 with victories in the season opener.

Inter president Erick Thohir says in a club statement on Wednesday that Vidic is "one of the worlds best defenders and his qualities, international pedigree, and charisma will be an asset. Ian Poulter already can feel his heart pumping a little faster and his eyes getting a little wider, two indications that the Ryder Cup is almost here.Theres just one difference this time.His hands will be on the wheel of a golf cart at Hazeltine instead of on a putter.Poulter, the European that Americans love to hate in the Ryder Cup, was having his worst and most painful season when he shut it down in late May because of an arthritic joint in his right foot that made it difficult to walk, much less practice.It took three days for Darren Clarke to make him a vice captain.The role is a big one, Poulter said Tuesday. As a player, youre sheltered from what goes on behind the scenes because you dont have much time to think about whats going on apart from playing golf. That role has changed significantly. Im going to be experiencing something very new.The last time Poulter was at a Ryder Cup without golf clubs was in 1993.He was 17 and folding shirts at Jack OLegs Golf Center in England when Poulter and two friends scrounged up enough money to go to The Belfry. They found a house where they could pitch a tent in the backyard garden for three pounds a night. He was watching when Nick Faldo made a hole-in-one against Paul Azinger, a match that ended in a draw. He remembered thinking how cool it would be to do something like that.And then he did.His nickname is The Postman because he always delivered points -- 14 times in 18 matches over five appearances for Europe. He became part of Ryder Cup lore when he made five straight birdies to win a fourballs match at Medinah in 2012 that sparked Europes shocking comeback.The image of Poulter at a Ryder Cup starts with his eyes, which seem to be on the verge of popping out of their sockets.And now?I should hope the weather will be such that Ill be wearing sunglasses, he said with a laugh.Poulter sees his role, along with the other four assistants, as helping Clarke wherever needed later this month. Discussing team strategy. Helping with pairings. Thoughts on the golf course. More than anything, he figures he will be most useful working with the six rookies on the European team.Clarke took Poulter to the EurAsia Cup in January, and Poulter won both team matches with partners new to the format -- Danny Willet and Bernd Wiesberger.dddddddddddd Asia didnt have the quality of players that Europe will see at Hazeltine, but what struck Clarke was how well Poulter handled the rookies.While he delivered on the golf course with three wins out of three, I also saw his influence off the course, especially among the younger players who were experiencing team match play for the first time, Clarke said. When he spoke, everyone listened. And the same will be the case at Hazeltine.Poulter was being groomed for this even before his foot injury.His form wasnt great two years ago going into Gleneagles, and Poulter was asked to play with Scottish rookie Stephen Gallacher. They were soundly beaten by Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed, and European captain Paul McGinley later said he wished he had given Poulter more time for his role.The endless debate is how much a captain can influence the outcome at the Ryder Cup, and the assistant captains would seem to have even less of an effect. Whats intriguing about Hazeltine is that both teams will have assistants who are sure to be noticed.One is Poulter because he has been so successful -- and so annoying to so many Americans -- in the Ryder Cup.The other is Tiger Woods, because hes Tiger Woods.We think people are going to be watching him watch golf, U.S. captain Davis Love III said. So we know this is going to be different. Its a lot different than Davis Love being the assistant captain for Corey Pavin. I can fly under the radar. Obviously, people would recognize me. But if Im driving in a cart, its not going to cause a stir. Were going to have to do a little bit more planning for Tiger when we move him around.Not many will be watching Poulter watch golf.But if they know anything about the Ryder Cup, they will recognize him. Hes the Englishman who speaks his mind and wins his matches. Poulter believes he has earned a measure of respect for his Ryder Cup success.Americans love someone that fights to the death, and thats something Ive certainly given to Team Europe through the years, he said.Thats what hes trying to do now. Just without clubs. And without the attention.Both might take some getting used to.
