ut its stuff that youve got to deal with, Hull | Forum

For 11 Sprint Cup Series teams, Sundays Michigan race is the calm before the storm. Vapormax Flyknit Dámské . They are the 11 winners, all of which are positioned comfortably for Round 1 of the Chase, which begins in roughly three weeks.Its not as if the weekend is meaningless by any means, but the urgency doesnt exist for these 11 the way it does for Chris Buescher, the 12th winner on the list, and the only one at risk of not making the playoffs if the next three weeks go poorly.Because of this, Im confident Sundays winner comes from this list of previous winners, not because I cant envision Chase Elliott, Austin Dillon or Kyle Larson winning this year.I just cant envision them winning in the next three weeks.Assuming Buescher qualifies -- and I believe he will -- this leaves four Chase spots open. As they stand today Dillon, Elliott, Jamie McMurray and Ryan Newman control their own destiny and have a comfortable points cushion. I believe all four will qualify for NASCARs postseason.Which leads me back to the 11.Who among them should be considered the favorite?Kyle Busch.This team is, in my opinion, where the 48 team of Jimmie Johnson was a few years back.Busch began the season winning three of the first 11 races and finishing top-four in nine of those events.Its been a volatile summer run, but this team will light it up when it matters most.As defending champs, they have the wind in their sails, confidence to repeat.Top to bottom theres not a team stronger than the 18.Who has the most work to do?Johnson.I truly believe he will win a seventh title in the next four or five years, but its difficult to imagine it happening this year.Its been apparent for quite some time that Johnson has been carrying this car, meaning he works much harder than those that are finishing ahead of him.Their two wins came early in the season while all teams were adjusting and acclimating to the new lower downforce package. The six-time champs talent weighed heavy in the February and March wins, but other teams passed him by in the evaluation of this new model.Talent isnt enough to overcome the deficit, and the risk for any driver experiencing this is the vulnerability of trying too hard, or over drivingWhen that happens, it compromises the ability to deliver productive, concise information of what the car does, or doesnt do.It can be a slippery slope if this happens.Johnson has led only 229 laps this season. We are used to seeing him do this in one race.These are tough times for the 48, but Johnson is a tough customer.No driver I have ever competed against puts the effort in to his job the way Johnson does, so while its obvious there is work to do, this driver will lead them back to glory.Who will be this seasons surprise ?Joey Logano.Not that Logano going into Miami with a shot at the title should surprise anyone, it simply hasnt been the season of authority we witnessed from the driver the second half of last season.Perhaps there was some hangover from last years exchange with Matt Kenseth that may have eaten away at Loganos confidence. If so, its becoming clear that he has regained whatever was missing, I believe he is poised to make a strong run against the Toyotas.The Bottom LineKevin Harvick said to me this week its all about momentum, referring to his win Sunday in Bristol.For roughly a dozen teams this weekend, thats what the Michigan race represents. Vapormax Boty Cz . President of baseball operations Larry Beinfest was fired Friday after 12 years with the Marlins. The move came as the team neared the end of its third consecutive last-place season in the NL East. Vapormax Flyknit Levně . PETERSBURG, Fla. http:///...us-damske-sleva.html . The FA rejected Wilsheres appeal that the length of his punishment was "clearly excessive" and said Thursday his suspension begins with immediate effect. He will miss league matches against Chelsea on Monday and West Ham on Dec. WOBURN, England -- Mirim Lee followed her opening 10-under 62 with a 71 on Friday in the Womens British Open, leaving her a stroke ahead entering the weekend at tree-lined Woburn Golf Club.A day after matching the tournament record and falling a stroke short of the major championship mark, the 25-year-old South Korean player had three birdies and two bogeys to reach 11-under 133.Today, the tee shot was a little bit difficult, Lee said. I had issues with my tee shot. I think I putted OK. I had a couple of three-putts, but I think with some practice, I can overcome my mistakes.Lee had two front-nine birdies, bogeyed the par-4 13th, birdied the par-5 15th and bogeyed the par-3 17th on the Marquess Course, the hilly, forest layout that is a big change from the seaside links that dominate the tournament rotation.Three weeks ago at the U.S. Womens Open, Lee opened with a 64, then followed with rounds of 74, 76 and 73 to tie for 11th. The two-time LPGA Tour winner missed the cut in the ANA Inspiration to start the major year, and tied for fourth in the KPMG Womens PGA.I think its just a result of all the hard work I put in and, I think, most importantly, Im just trying to have fun, Lee said about her improved play in the majors. Thats whats making me feel comfortable.Thailands Ariya Jutanugarn and Chinas Shanshan Feng were tied for second.Jutanugarn had a 69. She won three straight events in May.I like this style so much, Jutanugarn said about the course. I think it fits my game. I like the course. I like everything here.Feng shot 68.I really like the course, Feng said. Normally, my ball-striking is not bad, so I know Im going to hit a lot of fairways and greens. It really matters if my putting is working or not. In the past two rounds, I think my putting has been really good, so I made a lot of birdies.South Koreas Ha Na Jang (67) and 46-year-old Scot Catriona Matthew (65) were 9 under.Ive been playing well all year, Matthew said. Today, I just played really well. Hit 18 greens. Gave myself a lot of chances. The putts actually dropped today.Jangg was upset about slow play on the back nine. Vapormax Plus Cz. Its like at the front nine, just play every hole, no slow play, Jang said. But back nine is more windy and the more times, really late. And players a little tired, so walk slow, a little slow. The play at every hole, just stop on the tee box and second shot.Mo Martin (68) was 8 under, and fellow American Stacy Lewis (70) followed at 7 under.Martin won the 2014 tournament at Royal Birkdale.Its definitely a departure from links, Martin said. Parts of it remind me of the Pacific Northwest but there are some linksy styles in there, some of the fescues, some of the bunkering. I just love it in England.Lewis also is a past champion, winning at St. Andrews in 2013.Especially making the turn, I wasnt really in a good place, Lewis said. Kind of rallied on the back and made three birdies to give myself a chance this weekend. I like where I am. Usually in these things, if you can get out there and post a number, thats usually what wins.Charley Hull, the 20-year-old English star playing on her home course, had a 70 to move into a tie for 10th at 5 under. She had five birdies in a six-hole stretch in the middle of the round. I kind of holed a few putts that I wasnt holing and I got up-and-down, Hull said. I was pretty happy. I just kind of dug in.The fast-playing Hull was put on the clock for slow play late in the round.It was a bit pointless, but its stuff that youve got to deal with, Hull said.Top-ranked Lydia Ko was tied for 56th at even par after a 70. Shes coming off a victory two weeks ago in Ohio, her fourth LPGA Tour win of the year. She won the ANA Inspiration in April.Second-ranked Brooke Henderson was tied for 47th at 1 under after a 72.Michelle Wie missed the cut with rounds of 76 and 73.Third-ranked Inbee Park, the winner last year at Turnberry, is sidelined by a lingering left thumb injury. She hopes to be ready to compete for South Korea in the Olympics. ' ' '
