RICHMOND, Va. Winnipeg Jets Jerseys . -- Kyle Busch took the lead on pit road after just over 50 laps and showed why hes the NASCAR Xfinity Series career victory leader with a dominant run at Richmond International Raceway on Friday night.The defending Sprint Cup Series champion led 197 of 250 laps en route to his 84th victory in the series. He also won for the eighth time in 14 starts this season, and the sixth time in his career at Richmond. It was his first victory since July 23 at Indianapolis.And while Busch has plenty of experience dominating at Richmond, he called this victory unexpected.We just kind of missed it all through practice. It wasnt good there, and then we qualified and it was just a handful in qualifying. We didnt qualify very well. Seventh, its not very well for my expectations, but we just worked on it, he said in Victory Lane.There at the start of the race we were really out of control and loose, and I got to fourth but I thought that was where we were going to kind of be, but then my guys had an awesome pit stop and got me out front. ... After that it was lights out, man. It was on a rail from there.The race was slowed by caution flags just twice, and that allowed Busch to build leads as long as seven seconds, or more, and to put virtually the entire field a lap down. At one point, there were only five cars on the lead lap.His margin of victory was a whopping 6.453 seconds. Only 11 cars finished on the lead lap.Erik Jones, Buschs Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, finished second, followed by Brad Keselowski and points leader Elliott Sadler.We were second best, for sure, Jones said. We were running away from everybody else.Pole sitter Austin Dillon led the first 51 laps, but Busch led virtually the rest of the way, relinquishing the top spot to Jones for only two laps during green-flag pit stops.Whos hot: Brennan Poole started 31st and had raced himself into the top 10 before the race reached the halfway point, even though there was only one caution for seven laps in that time. He ran in the top 10 the rest of the way and finished 10th. ... Ryan Reed finished 11th and became the 10th series driver to lock himself into the series playoffs with one race left in the regular season.Whos not: Sadler, a native of Emporia, about 70 miles from Richmond, rallied to finish fourth but had a rough night through much of the race. He got lapped by Busch just past the midpoint and later got a stop-and-go penalty for speeding on pit road. He finished 12.8 seconds behind the race winner.They said it: Its been a good track for me over the years. Im not sure why. I remember the first time I was here, I think I knocked every wall down. -- Kyle Busch.Up next: The series move to Chicagoland Speedway for the last race before its 12-driver championship playoff begins. Nikolaj Ehlers Jets Jersey .com) - The Montreal Canadiens embark on their first road trip of the season as they head out west to battle the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night. Ondrej Pavelec Jets Jersey . The Vikings announced Thursday that Priefer will be one of seven holdovers from the previous staff, along with offensive line coach Jeff Davidson, wide receivers coach George Stewart and others.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.BOSTON -- John Lackeys won-loss record hardly shows how good hes been for the Red Sox this season. The teams most dependable starter, Lackey held down New Yorks resurgent offence and helped Boston break a three-game skid by beating the Yankees 6-1 on Saturday. "I think in this case the record doesnt show how well hes pitched and how consistent hes been," manager John Farrell said. "In a couple of occasions hes pitched on the wrong day and gone up against a starter thats held us in check. To his credit, hes earning everything that hes getting right now due to the commitment hes made in the off-season and how well hes pitched." Lackey (8-10), who missed last season while rehabbing from elbow surgery, has held opponents to three or fewer runs while pitching at least six innings in 14 starts, the most such outings on the club. "You cant do a whole lot about that," he said of his losing record. "Youve just got to go out and keep the game close. The records kind of out of my hands." Jacoby Ellsbury had three hits, David Ortiz homered and the Red Sox rebounded from a 10-3 loss with 14 hits. "The biggest thing is our pitching and defence," shortstop Stephen Drew said. "If we have that, we have a chance to win every day." But on Saturday, Lackey received some extra run support, too. Four times in his previous seven starts, Boston didnt score while he was in the game. "Lackey was outstanding today," said Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, booed loudly again during each at-bat. "Threw the ball very well. Hes having a big year for them. And Papi, hes the heart and soul of that team. Obviously had another big day." Ortiz, Shane Victorino, Will Middlebrooks, Mike Carp and Daniel Nava each had two hits for the AL East leaders, who won for only the third time in nine games. Lackey relied mostly on his fastball, slider and changeup. He gave up one run and six hits while walking three over 6 2-3 innings to halt a four-game losing streak, the longest of his career. He was 0-4 with a 4.96 ERA in his previous five starts. "He seemed to get the big out when he needed to," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "We got some baserunners on him, but he seemed to get the big out when he needed to." Alfonso Soriano extended his hitting tear with two singles in four at-bats for the Yankees, but was held without an RBI after matching a major league record with 18 over his previous four games. He is 15 for 22 (.682) in his last five games with five homers and nine runs scored. The Yankees had scored 10 or more runs in three of their last four. New Yorkk lost for just the second time in seven games. Dale Hawerchuk Jets Jersey. . Hiroki Kuroda (11-8) matched a season high by giving up five runs -- three earned -- and 11 hits. He struck out six and did not walk a batter in 5 2-3 innings. The 38-year-old right-hander was 4-1 with a 0.94 ERA in his previous seven starts. Leading 3-1 in the sixth, Boston added two runs and chased Kuroda. Jarrod Saltalamacchia had an RBI single and scored on Ellsburys double off the base of the right-field wall. Ortiz homered into the centre-field seats off reliever Adam Warren in the seventh. The Red Sox took advantage of an error and a missed call to jump ahead 3-0 in the fourth. With runners at the corners and one out, first baseman Lyle Overbay fielded Drews grounder and fired wide of second. Yankees shortstop Eduardo Nunez had to jump to catch the ball and threw late to first, with Ortiz scoring from third to make it 1-0. Carp, who was safe at second, then stole third on the front end of double steal, though replays showed Rodriguez made the tag in time. Umpire Bill Welke, who ejected Carp for arguing a called third strike Friday night, pointed that he was safe. Middlebrooks and Ellsbury followed with consecutive RBI singles. "With the runners on, I wanted to minimize the damage," Kuroda said through a translator. "But I couldnt do that. ... It was a bad outing." Ichiro Suzukis run-scoring grounder cut it to 3-1 in the fifth. New York had runners on second and third with none out after a single by Overbay and a double by Chris Stewart, but Lackey retired the next three hitters on grounders. NOTES: Kuroda allowed a season-high 11 hits. ... Robinson Cano went 0 for 4, snapping his 11-game hitting streak. ... Yankees SS Derek Jeter, on the 15-day DL with a strained right calf, continued taking batting practice and fielding grounders at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Fla., but is not running the bases. ... Boston 1B Mike Napoli was scratched from the original lineup because of a sore left foot. Farrell had planned to give Victorino the day off because hes had a sore hamstring, but decided to play him with Napoli sidelined. The switch-hitting Victorino continued to hit right-handed against right-handed pitching due to the sore leg. ... Boston 2B Dustin Pedroia turned 30. He fouled a ball off his left foot in the eighth and limped for a bit before finishing the at-bat. He was replaced on defence. Farrell said Pedroia was sore, but a scan at the ballpark came back "negative." ... Boston sends RHP Ryan Dempster (6-8, 4.50 ERA) to the mound against LHP CC Sabathia (10-10, 4.66) in the series finale Sunday night.
