KANSAS CITY, Kan. Nike Air Max Outlet . -- Matt Kenseth is proving to be unbeatable at Kansas Speedway. The winner of the last two Sprint Cup races at the track, Kenseth got into his Nationwide car and drove it to victory Saturday, taking advantage of a controversial late-race wreck that involved Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch to conserve enough fuel for the end. "We had a lot of speed right off the truck. It felt really good," Kenseth said. "I thought it was the best car we had all year at an open track." Kenseth crossed the finish line well ahead of Paul Menard, who got around Regan Smith on the final lap to take second. Busch finished fourth and Justin Allgaier was fifth. The outcome was almost an afterthought, though, to the renewal of a long-standing feud between Keselowski and Busch that has threatened to spill over into Sundays Sprint Cup race. Their teams locked in a battle for the owners championship, the two were side-by-side in the closing laps when Busch got into Keselowskis left rear. That sent the No. 22 car backing into the outside wall and knocking Keselowski out of the race. Keselowski angrily jumped out of his car and, rather than hop into the ambulance, jogged over the grass toward pit road. He gestured wildly at Buschs crew before finally running to the infield care centre -- a long jog that did little to quell his temper. "I got wrecked by a dirty driver. Theres no other way of putting it," Keselowski said. "Ive raced him really cool over the last year to be respectful to him and trying to repair our relationship. Ive watched him wreck my truck and cost me from winning races. He put me in the fence in Chicago in the truck race. Nationwide races, hes been pulling this crap. "Its not going to last," Keselowski said, "I can tell you that." Busch said that he wasnt trying to wreck Keselowski, and that he simply got tight coming out of the final corner. That forced the front of his car to drift toward the wall. "It was hard racing. There were a lot of moments where I may be felt a little crowded," Busch said. "The contact that ultimately ended it, I just got real tight." The wreck tightened up the ownership race. Keselowskis Penske Racing team, which carried a 28-point lead over Buschs No. 54 car for Joe Gibbs Racing into the weekend, now leads by just five points heading to next weekends race at Charlotte. The incident could also throw some drama into the Chase. Busch is third in the standings and just 12 points back of Kenseth, while Keselowski -- the defending series champion -- failed to qualify for NASCARs version of the playoffs. "He has a lot more to lose than I do," said Keselowski, apparently indicating that he would retaliate on Sunday. "I guess thats the good thing about not being in the Chase." Busch said he would be prepared if Keselowski comes after him. "If he wants to take it to the other side of the garage area, whatever," Busch said, "but I have more class than that." Austin Dillon finished sixth to take over the points lead from Sam Hornish Jr. with four races left in the season. Dillon had trouble all afternoon with a blistering left front tire, but that was nothing compared to the mess that Hornish got himself in. He was among several drivers who slapped into the outside wall, sustaining heavy damage to the right side of his car. Hornish lost a handful of places in the pits late in the race. Dillon now has an eight-point lead over Hornish in the standings. "We didnt want to race like that. We had a car we thought we could run up front with," he said. "But a sixth-place finish is great for us. Were the point leader. Thats awesome." Parker Kligerman, Brad Sweet, Trevor Bayne and Elliott Sadler rounded out the top 10 in a race that was filled with cautions. There were 11 in all totalling 50 laps. All the yellow flags left teams to choose among several pit strategies when Keselowskis wreck brought out the final one. Smith elected to take four tires, most of the rest took two, but Kenseth had already put on his final set of tires and remained on the track. It turned out that he had enough tread -- and enough fuel -- to hold on for the win. "Its hard to get away from anybody," Kenseth said. "I knew it was important to get going, Regan gave me a little push there, I had just enough speed to get around them, and then I could use the whole track from there."

Broersen based her gold-medal performance on great high jumping, and finished with 4,830 points, while Theisen-Eaton, from Humboldt, Sask., set a national record of 4,768. Nike Air Max Discount . LA (SportsNetwork. https://www.fakeairmaxwholesale.com/ .com) - Manchester City will face a steep test in the Champions League knockout stage as the English champions were drawn with Barcelona on Monday.VANCOUVER -- The B.C. Lions signed defensive back Ryan Phillips to a contract extension that will keep him with the CFL club through the 2016 season. The nine-year veteran was a CFL all-star last year after recording 36 tackles and two interceptions over 18 regular-season games. "Ryan is one of the veteran players that were counting on to show our defence and our team the kind of commitment, teamwork and selflessness its going to take to be a champion," Lions GM Wally Buono said in a statement. "As a four-time CFL all-star, including last season, Ryan continues to play at a very high level and I believe his greatest season is yet to come." The Seattle native hasnt missed a regular-season game since entering the league in 2005. His mark of 162 consecutive games played is the longest active streak in the CFL. "I cannot say enough about Ryans leadership and accomplishments during his time as a Lion," said head coach Mike Benevides. "Hes been with us for the better parrt of a decade and we will be leaning on him not only as a key component of our defence, but also as part of our core leadership group. Cheap Nike Air Max. quot; Phillips has appeared in 13 playoff games and won Grey Cups with the Lions in 2006 and 2011. "Signing this extension is very satisfying for me for a number of reasons," Phillips said. "Having an opportunity to play in front of my friends and family is very important to me and Im grateful to the Lions for making that happen for years to come. "Im also honoured to play alongside some of the best defensive players in the CFL such as Dante Marsh, Cord Parks, Adam Bighill and Solomon Elimimian. We have a great team here and more specifically we have great defensive players that are not concerned with personal recognition but instead, simply winning championships." Phillips is tied with former Lions great Norm Fieldgate with 388 career tackles and is second behind Larry Crawford with 666 interception return yards. ' ' '
