Wood Brothers Racings Ryan Blaney will have a guaranteed starting spot in NASCARs Cup Series in 2017 as part of a series of deals that includes Richard Petty Motorsports leasing one of its charters to Go FAS Racing.Go FAS Racing, which fielded the No. 32 car for Jeffrey Earnhardt and other drivers last season, will lease its charter (NASCARs version of a franchise) to the Wood Brothers for 2017, said Wood Brothers Racing executive Jon Wood. Blaney qualified for every race last year, finishing 20th in the standings, but now will have no worries about having to qualify in 2017 if more than 40 cars show up at a race.Matt DiBenedetto, who drove for BK Racing last year and finished 35th in the standings, will be the sole driver for Go FAS Racing in 2017 and also will have no worries with a guaranteed spot in every race as Go FAS Racing vice president Mason St. Hilaire confirmed that it has leased the RPM No. 44 charter for 2017.An RPM spokeswoman said the team had no comment Thursday night about its charter situation nor its 2017 plans. It has driver Aric Almirola with primary sponsor Smithfield signed next season for the No. 43 car but has been in limbo with the No. 44 car since the surprising retirement announcement of Brian Scott in November.Why all the leasing of charters? Its part of a complicated NASCAR system designed to encourage performance while also allowing teams to project revenues for a season.At the start of 2016, NASCAR issued 36 charters, giving those 36 cars a guaranteed spot in each race and a guaranteed base amount of revenue for the season. That left four spots available to open cars, whose base amount of participation revenue is less than 35 percent of that of charter teams.Teams can lease out their charter for only one year over a five-year span and then must either run it or sell it. A portion of the revenue distributed to a charter team is based on the performance of that car the past three years; plus any car among the three worst charters for three consecutive years can have its charter pulled by NASCAR.The move for Go FAS Racing means it will have slightly more guaranteed money next season because the RPM No. 44 teams past three-year history is better than that of Go FAS Racings No. 32 team.It also should make the original No. 32 charter more valuable for 2018 in two ways: Wood Brothers Racing should finish higher in the owner standings (it was 21st in the 2016 team standings) and therefore would increase its 2018 guaranteed revenue; and it should eliminate a chance the charter could get revoked following the 2018?season because it most likely wont be among the three worst charter teams for three consecutive years.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Belmonts Rick Byrd is defensive about preseason polls and his Bruins in general.He doesnt like polls or the way Belmont played defense last season.That didnt matter to his fellow coaches in the Ohio Valley Conference. Byrds Belmont Bruins received 16 of 24 first-place votes from the leagues coaches and sports information directors in a poll released Wednesday with the leagues media day.I dont like preseason polls at all, I dont like preseason all-conference teams, Byrd said. Nobodys earned anything. If we dont get better defensively, were not going to get where we need to get.Belmont ranked 312th out of 346 Division I teams allowing 78.4 points per game last season when the Bruins (20-12) lost to Georgia in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament.Byrd, going into his 31st season with 731 career wins, describes himself as an offensive-minded coach but plans to base playing time more on defense than in years past.One Bruin who will log a lot of minutes is reigning OVC Player of the Year Evan Bradds, also the preseason player of the year.The 6-foot-7 forward averaged 17.6 points and 9.2 rebounds per game last season. The senior led Division I in field goal percentage the past two years, including 71.4 percent last season.Evan, maybe more than any other player weve ever had at Belmont, has this gift and knack for scoring the basketball inside, Byrd said. He has great touch scoring it around the basket, over bigger guys, under bigger guys, through bigger guys. So all we do is throw it to him and get out of the way.Belmont returns 12 players, including senior guard Taylor Barnette, junior forward Amanze Egekeze and junior guard Austin Lake.While the Bruins are favored to winn the East Division, Murray State is picked to win the West.dddddddddddd The Racers have won the West the past four seasons, including a 17-14 mark last season when they lost in the OVC tournament quarterfinals.I really like our team, Racers coach Matt McMahon said. We have three seniors back who played huge role for us last season. All three have gotten much better as players and as leaders in the offseason, so I think all three are ready to take a step forward.Senior guards Bryce Jones (12.7 points and 4.2 assists), Damarcus Croaker (9.6 points, 4.5 rebounds) and Gee McGhee (9 points, 4.7 rebounds) give Murray State an explosive backcourt.Austin Peay was the leagues surprise last season as the first No. 8 seed to win the OVC tournament, upsetting four teams in four days.Our guys have got to understand that theyve got a target on their back, Austin Peay coach Dave Loos said. They also need to understand that we need to put that in the rear-view mirror.OVC tournament MVP Chris Horton graduated, but the Governors return 10 players, including three starters. Guards Josh Robinson (16.9 points) and Jared Savage (record 19 3-pointers in tournament) will lead the way for Loos, who returns for his 27th season.Tennessee State is picked to finish second in the East under Dana Ford, last seasons OVC Coach of the Year.If we compete as a unit consistently from the start of the game to the end and we stay healthy, I like our chances to play anybody in the league, said Ford, whose Tigers improved by 15 wins to 20-11 last year.Online:More AP College Basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org Wholesale Hoodies NFL Shirts Outlet Jerseys NFL Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
