Namely, Cup Series rookie Chase Briscoe. Hamlin was ahead of the pack in the first lap of the second of two overtime attempts, and his closest competition, Briscoe, had just been assessed a penalty after the former nudged him wide through the grass on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. It appeared as if Hamlin would be able to keep the pack behind him en route to his first trip to victory lane....
His team had called Logano a “dips—” who deserved to “get sent.” He insisted it was a one-off, heat-of-the-moment encounter. “You know, it’s all good,” Elliott told Sporting News. “He’s gonna race how he wants, and that’s fine. That’s his decision and I have nothing to do with the decisions he makes and what he does. And I personally don’t really care either.” On Sunday at Martinsville, though, Elliott’s crew did seem to care about Logano’s racing style, again letting the Team Penske driver get to it....
While Chase Headley continues his hot-hitting in the Bronx at first base, the point of renaissance is easy to see: Two weeks ago today, the Yankees and White Sox struck blockbuster trade involving seven players, as New York netted well-regarded relievers David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle and veteran third baseman Todd Frazier. Frazier was brought in to replace Headley, who went through a lengthy dry spell in May that resulted in a ....

Next Sunday Venezuelans go to the polls in national, state and local elections under the new 1999 Constitution. There is little doubt Chavez will win. He leads his chief rival, retired Lt. Col. Francisco Arias–a fellow coup plotter who broke with Chavez earlier this year–by at least 10 points in polls. And after 20 years of economic decline and government rot, the country’s poor majority likes Chavez. But large parts of the middle class and well-to-do consider him a tyrant....
They were the best among the 14 Indians in the field this week at the Linkou International Golf and Country Club. Meanwhile, Chinese Taipei’s 26-year-old Hung Chien-yao broke clear of the chasing pack with an ace and a birdie in his last two holes to snatch the outright first round lead by two shots. Hung’s opening six-under-par 66 was enough to give him a two-shot cushion over his closest rivals on a rainy day where only 11 players broke par in tough conditions at USD 500,000 event....

Torres struck first against his former club and looked to change the complexion of the tie. But Adrian’s goal just before half-time tilted it in Atletico’s favour. A silly foul from Eto’o gifted Costa a chance from the spot, and he duly obliged before Turan wrapped the game up with a third. Line Ups: Chelsea: Schwazer, Cahill, Terry, Ivanovic, Cole (Eto’o 54?), Azpilicueta, Luiz, Ramires, Willian (Schurrle 77?), Hazard, Torres (Ba 67?...
United suffered a 1-0 FA Cup defeat at Stamford Bridge on March 13 with Mourinho taunted with chants of ‘Judas’ and ‘you’re not special any more’ from a home support that used to worship the Portuguese for delivering three Premier League crowns over two spells in charge. Mourinho responded after the game by suggesting “Judas is still number one” in terms of success achieved at Chelsea but, despite that acrimonious backdrop, was quick to play down any lingering ill-feeling ahead of the teams’ meeting at Old Trafford at the weekend....

The Background: “The referee was inefficient. It was an adulterated result. When Deco [then a Barcelona player] produced a ridiculous dive in the area the referee didn’t show him a yellow card. When I saw Rijkaard enter the referee’s changing-room at half-time I couldn’t believe it. When Drogba was sent off I wasn’t surprised.” Jose Mourinho did not hesitate to attack Barcelona after the referee after Chelsea 2-1 loss to Barcelona in February 2005....

But the Premier League club have moved to refute those claims and they insist there are currently no plans in the pipeline regarding the proposed redevelopment of Stamford Bridge, which has been put down to the “unfavourable investment climate”. “Chelsea FC is aware of the media speculation relating to the new stadium,” a club statement on Friday read....
