Garth Tander and Warren Luff have claimed a famous Sandown 500 win, holding steady to defy Shane van Gisbergen and a failing car to win the Supercars endurance race. Joe Mauer Jersey .The Holden Racing Team pair crossed the line ahead of the Red Bull Racing driver on a dramatic day in Melbourne.With 20 laps remaining, the mud guard in Tanders car blew out, barely clinging to the Commodore through the races final stages.Race officials decided against penalising the former series winner for an unsafe car, but Tander still needed to fend of a rampant van Gisbergen.He did so by less than a third of a second - the second-closest margin in the races history.An exuberant Tander jumped on the car to celebrate.The car was really nice until the guard fell of it. Then it was really hard work, he said.I wanted this one on the CV, I didnt have it yet.Van Gisbergen, who competed with Alex Premat, suggested there would be no appeal from Red Bull after the race.Im glad they let it run ... it wouldnt have been right to win that way, he said.Will Davison and Jonathan Webb claimed third.From the first lap to the last, the Enduro Cup opener was spectacular.James Goldings lap one crash brought the first red flag and restart in the 500-kilometre classics history.On his first Supercars start, the 20-year-old hit the tyre wall at 149km/h in his Volvo but walked away unhurt.The remaining 25 cars fought out a battle royale with such carnage, the track and cars resembled a scene from Mad Max.Degraded tyres and muck from many trips into the grass showed the tough conditions.Occasional rain gave team bosses headaches all afternoon, messing with the best-made strategies and throwing cars from the track.While van Gisbergen, who overcame an early double stack and might have wished for a few more laps to close the gap, the result puts him on top of the championship standings.Jamie Whincups unfortunate day ended with him finishing 13th, giving his teammate a seven-point series lead.Whincup and Paul Dumbrell were poised to challenge for their third Sandown crown together until the changeover of drivers.Dumbrell slipped his arm out early from his seatbelt and was served a drive-through penalty.Mark Winterbottoms title fight was also hit by a mistake by co-driver Dean Canto, who produced an otherwise sterling drive.Canto started 22nd but surged to fourth place by refusing wet tyres in the drizzle, only to slip off the track one lap before he was due to hand over to Winterbottom, who finished 24th.

The Canadiens Get: LW Thomas Vanek and a conditional fifth-round pick. https://www.cheaptwins.com/1642t-lamonte-wade-jr-jersey-twins.html . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap. Not too long ago, the toughest questions Baylor football coaches faced were those that brought up the 23rd-ranked Bears weak nonconference schedule.Interim Baylor coach Jim Grobe has had to field many questions about the programs culture.Perhaps the upside of that is no one has asked him about the continuing lack of interesting or challenging September games for the Bears.No. 23 Baylor hosts unranked SMU at 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday at McLane Stadium in Waco, which some in Texas regard as a rise in competition. The Bears opened their season with a 55-7 rout of Northwestern State. It was the most points a team coached by Grobe has ever scored.I think the thing is weve all had games when you scored more points than you counted on, Grobe said. The biggest problem weve got is managing the game.While this weeks opponent is a step up from an FCS foe, however, its uncertain how big a step.The Mustangs went 2-10 under first-year head coach Chad Morris last season and began this season last week by pulling away from a rebuilding North Texas team in the third quarter for an unimpressive 34-21 win that included 572 yards total offense.How stern the test is Saturday might hinge on the health of SMUs quarterback.Matt Davis is a game-time decision, Morris said, because of a knee injury. He rushed for 91 yards and had 155 passing yards with two scores last week.Wide receiver Courtland Sutton and defensive end Justin Lawler were named to the AAC weekly honor roll for their contributions.Sutton, a sophomore, had four receptions for 162 yards and three touchdowns, one a career-long 88-yard catch, the fifth-longest play in SMU history.Lawler, a junior, recorded 3.5 sacks, just an assist off the school single-game record, among his team-high eight tackles.The Mustangs rushed for 272 yards and passed for 300, but they also gave up 311 yards to the Mean Greens passing game -- not a good sign.Grobe is familiar with Morris style from their days in the ACC. Grobe, of course, was the head coach at Wake Forest. Morris was the offensive coordinatorr at Clemson. Custom Minnesota Twins Jerseys. .I think offensively Chad is doing the same things he did at Clemson, and when I was at Wake Forest I had to go against that stuff, so I know how hard it is for Phil Bennett and the defensive guys to get ready, Grobe said, referring to Baylor defensive coordinator Phil Bennett. One of the things that Phil Bennett was concerned about last year is that we missed too many tackles.If you look at SMU against North Texas, they broke a lot of tackles and made them miss a lot. Thats a real challenge going into this one for us.Grobe expects the Ponies to spread the field to break off big plays.Thats the thing that Chad will do to you, Grobe said. Hes going to spread you out and force you to make one-on-one tackles.The thing that he did a great job of at Clemson that impressed me is that you feel like you have to go back and play coverage, but the thing is that he loves to run the football. You cant hunker down on one thing.One big item of interest will be Baylor running back Shock Linwoods quest to become the schools career rushing leader. Linwood rushed for 97 yards on nine carries against Northwestern State and needs 107 more to pass former Bear and Pittsburgh Steeler Walter Abercrombie.Abercrombie finished his Baylor career with 3,665 yards from 1978-81.Barring injury, Linwood is going to pass Abercrombie and keep going, perhaps adding another 1,000 yards to the Baylor career mark.After watching Linwood in a game for the first time as the Bears coach, Grobe was impressed.What I really liked about Shock was his energy, Grobe said. When he got on the field you could just tell he was ready to roll. The extra yardage he got the other night was fun to see.The biggest health question for Baylor was safety Travon Blanchard, honorable mention All-Big 12 in 2015, but Grobe said he is not expected to play against SMU after also missing the opener recovering from meniscus surgery.
