Joe Gibbs Racing Xfinity Series driver Matt Tifft is out indefinitely after doctors found a brain tumor while treating him for a disk condition in his back.Tifft had surgery Friday afternoon, and his family said on his Twitter account Friday night that he is out of surgery and doing well.Tifft, 20, will need to spend time in rehabilitation before being cleared to race again.The tumor was about the size of a half-dollar and was located on the right side near his temple, about an inch into his brain at the deepest point, Tifft said in an interview Wednesday. It was not cancerous but had the potential to grow aggressively.Once doctors can test the tumor and know whether it was completely removed, Tifft will know the recovery plan and find out if he needs any chemotherapy or radiation.If not for the disc problem in his back, Tifft would never have known about the tumor. He said he had a concussion when he was younger and has always had some sensitivity to light. So he figured since he was having an MRI on his back, he had might as well have his head scanned. That is when doctors found the tumor, which Tifft said he might have had for years.We kind of lucked out that we found it when we did, Tifft said. Its not lucky it was there, but we are lucky that we caught it in plenty enough time. ... You never want to be thankful to be hurt, but in this case in a way, its bizarre how it worked out. ... Without that [back problem], who knows if I ever would have gone in?Tifft has competed in six Xfinity races this year, including three in the JGR No. 18 car. He sat on the pole in April at Talladega, where he finished a career-best eighth. He also finished eighth two weeks later at Dover.This has definitely been a breakout year, Tifft said. Its definitely a tough spot to be taken out right in the middle of your limited races. But I feel like, in a good way, where Im at in my career, I have really proven what I can do this year.This is just something Ive got to work through. ... Im just really appreciative of all the support [from the racing community] Ive gotten already. Its been pretty overwhelming.In addition to his part-time Xfinity schedule, Tifft was driving a part-time Camping World Truck Series schedule in the Red Horse Racing No. 11 truck. He finished a career-best fifth in his most recent outing in May at Charlotte. He has seven top-10 finishes in 18 career truck starts.David Ragan will replace Tifft in the JGR No. 18 Xfinity Series car this weekend at Daytona. Swell Bottles Clearance .

LEICESTER, England -- Champions one season. Relegated the next.It has only ever happened to one team in the highest division of English football -- Manchester City in 1937-38 -- so Leicester is trying to avoid an unwanted piece of history this season.At the start of a week when the team from central England could clinch a place in the last 16 of the Champions League, it is Leicesters form in the Premier League that is possibly the biggest talking point.A 3-1 loss to Watford on Saturday left Leicester in 14th place in the 20-team league and just two points above the bottom three. No one foresaw Claudio Ranieris team winning the Premier League last season -- the pre-season odds on that happening were 5,000-1 -- but its rapid fall from grace is taking many by surprise, too.The relegation is very close to us and we have to react, Ranieri said after the loss to Watford. I expected difficulties, but not so strong.On Monday, Ranieri dismissed a suggestion that his players have been distracted by competing in the Champions League.I dont think its a distraction, its enjoyment, Ranieri said at a news conference ahead of the home match against Club Brugge on Tuesday. I dont see the difference.Yet, in five Premier Leaague matches played the weekend before a Champions League game, Leicester has collected just one point.dddddddddddd Leicester has already lost six games in the league, which is double the number of losses from last seasons title-winning campaign.If you see the match against Watford and the match against Copenhagen or Brugge or Porto, its the same, Ranieri said. The difference is in the Champions League matches we score, in the other matches no.Our focus is this: Try to win tomorrow and then go back into the Premier League and try to improve our table. Yes, of course I have to work harder, everyone has to work harder.Leicester was fortunate to be drawn in one of the weaker Champions League groups and the team has made the most of it, winning three games, drawing the other and conceding no goals.The Foxes only need a point on Tuesday to be sure of a place in the knockout stage, allowing the focus to switch entirely to the teams league form -- at least until February.Our fairytale is continuing, Ranieri said. We did something special last season and were doing it again this season. ' ' '
