BROOKLYN, Mich.
Koji Uehara Red Sox Jersey . -- During the
last couple laps of his first Sprint Cup victory, Kyle Larson was emotional.I
think with two to go, I was starting to get choked up, he said. We worked
really, really hard to get a win, and just havent done it. Finally, all the hard
work by everybody, hundreds of people at our race shop, people who have got me
through to the Cup series, it was all paying off.Larson took the lead on a
restart with nine laps remaining and held off Chase Elliott at Michigan
International Speedway on Sunday in a duel between two of NASCARs up-and-coming
standouts. Elliott had a comfortable lead before a tire problem on Michael
Annetts car brought out the yellow flag. Larson had the better restart and went
on to win by 1.48 seconds.Brad Keselowski finished third. His No. 2 Ford failed
the postrace laser inspection.Larsons victory in his No. 42 Chevrolet snapped a
99-race winless streak for Chip Ganassi Racing dating to Jamie McMurrays victory
at Talladega in 2013.With the win, Larson secured a spot in the Chase for the
Sprint Cup with two races left in the regular season. Elliott remains winless
but is in solid shape to make the Chase field on points if need be.It was the
99th career start for the 24-year-old Larson, who had 14 top-5 finishes before
Sunday but hadnt won at the Cup level. The 20-year-old Elliott is winless in 29
starts, but this was an impressive showing for him after eight consecutive races
outside the top 10.Elliott finished second at Michigan in June as well, losing
to Joey Logano.Thats a couple races in a row in just a few short months here at
this place we had a really good car, had an opportunity, Elliott said. Thats one
thing I try really hard to do is make the most of opportunities when theyre
presented. Obviously I didnt do a very good job of that here both trips.Elliott
led by 2.86 seconds with 28 laps to go Sunday, and it looked as if Larsons
chance to catch him had been derailed when he lost ground passing a lapped car.
The caution gave him another shot, though, and he took advantage.We both spun
our tires really bad, and the No. 2 [Keselowski] pushed me really good, Larson
said. He could have probably pulled underneath me and went by, but he stayed
with me and got me the lead.There were only four cautions in the 200-lap,
400-mile race. Larson led a race-high 41 laps. Logano, the pole winner, finished
10th.Chris Buescher, who has a victory but still needs to stay in the top 30 in
points to make the Chase, finished 35th after some early engine trouble.
Buescher is seven points ahead of David Ragan for 30th place on the season.Alex
Bowman, filling in for Dale Earnhardt Jr.?in the No. 88 car, had a problem with
the ignition system and finished 30th.Twelve drivers have wrapped up Chase
berths. Tony Stewart, who has a victory, has clinched a top-30 finish in points
to secure his spot.Bueschers situation is still uncertain, so there could end up
being as many as four drivers making it in on points. Elliott is 11th in the
standings, the top driver with no victories.Points leader Kevin Harvick followed
up his win at Bristol with a fifth-place showing at Michigan. He has 11 top-5
finishes in 24 starts this year.It was another rough day for Kyle Busch at
Michigan. Hed finished out of the top 30 in five of his previous six races at
the track, and he was no factor Sunday after an early spin, although he did
recover well enough to come in 19th.We actually had a pretty fast car. We ran
some really fast laps, but we just got in a bad spot there on the restart and
got sucked around and wore off part of our splitter, crew chief Adam Stevens
said. Even after that we were one of the probably five or six quickest cars on
the racetrack, and just whenever we got in the lucky-dog spot we ran there for I
cant tell you how many laps and just didnt get a caution.Hendrick Motorsports is
winless in 19 races after Elliott fell short, but there were some positive signs
for the team. At the midway point, Hendrick cars were 1-2, with Jimmie Johnson
leading Elliott at the front. Kasey Kahne was in fifth at that point.Johnson
ended up sixth, and Kahne finished 14th. Bowman was the only driver for Hendrick
who finished way behind.This is Hendricks longest losing streak since a 22-race
dry spell from 1993 into 1994.
Xander Bogaerts Jersey . While hell be dialed
in to that tournament on a course he loves, you can forgive him if his eyes
glance down the calendar just a bit, towards April.
Rusney Castillo Red Sox Jersey . A big centre
with all the tools to be an elite player, Johansen paced the Blue Jackets with a
standout game Saturday night. He had a goal and two assists for a career-high
three points as Columbus beat the New York Islanders 5-2 to snap a five-game
losing streak.

did not take the chance of losing points. Overall, Im happy to walk away with
another win, but I need to go home and improve my starts so we can get out front

to win your hometown race in front of family and friends is a special moment,
Martin said. The last couple of weekends we have been able to turn things around
and improve the bike, along with my health. I believe we are in a good position,
but we need to start gaining some points on Cooper so that we can take this
championship down to the wire.Webb was second overall after finished second in
