LOUDON, N. A... Cardinals Cyber Monday Jerseys .H. -- Ryan Newman used a track-record lap to fuel his run at a championship. Newman set the New Hampshire Motor Speedway qualifying record with a lap of 136.497 mph to win the pole and headline a top 12 loaded with Chase drivers for Sundays race. Chase for the Sprint Cup championship drivers filled 10 of the top 12 spots Friday. Kasey Kahne was second and joins Newman on the front row, Jeff Gordon was third and Kurt Busch fourth for what will be the second Chase race. Joey Logano qualified sixth, Kevin Harvick was eighth, series points leader and last weeks winner Matt Kenseth was ninth, and Greg Biffle starts 10th. Jimmie Johnson is 11th and Kyle Busch 12th. Martin Truex Jr. starts fifth the same week he found out NAPA was dumping sponsorship of his Michael Waltrip Racing No. 56 car after the race-fixing attempts at Richmond earlier this month. "This is definitely not the time of year you want to find out that you really dont have a ride next year," Truex said. "Its going to be tough, but well have to deal with it and figure it out." Truex did qualify for the Chase with NAPA last season, finishing 11th in points, and was in contention for the final Chase wild card berth at Richmond while driving with a broken wrist. He got a new cast this week and still doesnt know if hell need surgery at the end of the season. The Chase moves on Sunday to New Hampshire, where NASCAR has a 13-driver championship field for the first time since the title-deciding format began in 2004. Newman is eighth in the standings, certainly within striking distance of Kenseth. He won his second pole of the season and 51st in 432 career Cup races. Newman won from the pole this season at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Newman, who is leaving Stewart-Haas Racing for a 2014 ride with Richard Childress, has three career wins at New Hampshire. "This track is the birthplace of track position," he said. "It is really difficult to pass. Having a good pit selection, having all those things weve had to many times before (helps). Last time we were on the pole here, we led a lot of laps and won. Im hoping we can duplicate that again." The rest of the Chase field saw Clint Bowyer start 16th and Dale Earnhardt Jr. 17th. Earnhardt is 13th in the Chase standings and was disgusted on the grid after his poor lap. "The car just hadnt been turning well and the front end is a bit of a handful," he said. NASCAR would love for the talk of the sport to return to racing and the Chase and not the scandal that rocked the sport. NASCAR took the unprecedented step of adding Gordon as a 13th driver and booted Truex from the field. Gordon, a four-time champion, was sixth in Chicago and has four straight top-10 finishes to work his way up to seventh in the standings. "We are in it and we want to show everyone why we are in it," Gordon said. "I think we had the last three races leading into Chicago. We were pretty good, but previously in the season we just have had our struggles. We have had missed opportunities and its hard to always put your finger on what exactly has caused those things." . Jerome Verrier, Jerome Raymond, Tommy Giroux and Charles-David Beaudoin also scored for Drummondville. Jason Houde, Marcus Power and Antoine Quevillon replied for the Huskies. Elsewhere, Moncton edged Shawinigan 3-2. [url=http://www.shopnflonline.net/Black-Friday-Houston-Texans-Arian-Foster-Jerse... Foster Black Friday Jersey . Same for Matthew Stafford, and they knew exactly what to do. . Evans was released by the Edmonton Rush earlier this week. The 31-year old Peterborough, Ontario native has posted a pair of 40-goal seasons during this eight-year NLL career with stops in Rochester and Edmonton.

The multi-platinum group from Hanna, Alta., was announced as the main act for the Nov. ARLINGTON, Texas -- Rangers Ballpark has never been high on James Shields list of favourite road venues. Maybe that will change. Shields pitched eight shutout innings, Johnny Damon homered and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the AL West-leading Texas Rangers 4-1 on Wednesday night. Shields had struggled in his three previous road starts against Texas, going 1-2 with a 5.14 ERA while yielding 22 hits and five homers. Not this time. Shields (13-10) allowed four hits, walked one and struck out seven, giving him 1,001 for his career and 199 for the season. He threw 110 pitches before Kyle Farnsworth finished Tampa Bays 10th victory in the last 15 games. "This was the best Ive pitched in this ballpark," Shields said. "Its nice to pitch well here." With better run support this season, Shields would have more victories, which would have boosted his Cy Young Award candidacy. His ERA is 0.66 in his 13 wins this season. "He has how many wins? Thirteen? It could be 16 or 17 easily," manager Joe Maddon said. "That would put him into that Cy Young conversation. He still should be in it. He had a certain resolve tonight. Thats who he is. Hes all about pitching deep into games." David Murphy hit a two-out RBI single for Texas in the ninth, but Farnsworth struck out Yorvit Torrealba to end the game. Shields escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first when Mike Napoli grounded into a double play. The right-hander then retired the next 14 batters, a streak that ended when Elvis Andrus tripled with two outs in the sixth. No big deal -- Shields promptly struck out Josh Hamilton to end the inning, leaving Andrus on third. For Shields, the key was inducing Napoli to hit into the double play started by third baseman Evan Longoria. "Hes not a double play candidate as far as hitting ground balls," Shields said. "It was the pitch I wanted, a slider down and away, and he rolled over it." The Rangers, losers of five of eight, made a couple of trades earlier Wednesday to strengthen their roster, acquiring reliever Mike Gonzalez and bringing back catcher Matt Treanor. But Shields spoiled the night for the Rangers with a dominant performance. "After the first inning when we didnt get him, he started pitching," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "He did a great job ... changed speeds, kept us off balance." Texas starter Alexi Ogando (12-7) won his first seven decisions this season after being converted from reliever to starter during spring training. But hes dropped four of his last six decisions after lasting only 2 2-3 innings against the Rays, alllowing three runs and five hits. [url=http://www.shopnflonline.net/Black-Friday-Denver-Broncos-Shannon-Sharpe-Jer... Sharpe Cyber Monday Jersey[/url]. Ogando pitched four innings in his previous start, yielding six runs and six hits in a 6-0 loss to AL East-leading Boston. For Ogando, the innings keep piling up. He has thrown 154 innings this season after logging 73 1-3 last season for the Rangers and two minor league teams. But Ogando insists that his right arm isnt wearing down. "I feel like these last outings, Ive been losing the strike zone," Ogando said through a translator. "I feel good physically, but I dont have that feeling for the strike zone. Im confused. My body feels good but my arm doesnt do what I want it to." The Rays struck for two runs in the second. John Jaso had a bloop RBI single and Desmond Jennings forced in a run with a bases-loaded walk. Matt Joyce knocked out Ogando with an RBI single in the third, and Damon connected against Koji Uehara in the seventh for his 14th homer. NOTES: Gonzalez was 2-2 with a 4.27 ERA in 49 relief appearances this season for Baltimore, which traded the Texas native to the Rangers for a player to be named. Treanor was with the Rangers last season when they won their first AL pennant and he set a career-high with 82 games played. Texas traded him to Kansas City at the end of spring training for cash, then got him back from the Royals for cash. ... The Rangers plan to activate 3B Adrian Beltre from the 15-day DL and insert him into the lineup on Thursday night. Beltre has been on the DL since July 23 with a strained left hamstring. ... The Rays intend to add OFs Justin Ruggiano and Brandon Guyer to their active roster on Thursday. Ruggiano would be activated from the 15-day DL, where he has been since Aug. 10 because of bursitis in his left knee. Guyer is being recalled from Triple-A Durham for the third time this season. ... The Rangers will start LHP C.J. Wilson (13-6) in Thursday nights series finale against RHP Jeff Niemann (9-5). ... Texas LHP Matt Harrison, scheduled to start Sunday in Boston, retired the Rays in order in the fifth and sixth in his first relief appearance of the season. Harrisons turn in the rotation was skipped in favour of Scott Feldman, and Wednesday nights outing took the place of a bullpen session. ... Jaso made an error on Mitch Morelands foul popup in the eighth. The ball fell out of the catchers glove, and Longoria nearly caught it before it hit the ground. ... Texas RHP Mark Hamburger pitched a perfect ninth in his major league debut. ... After the game, the Rays announced that RHP Andy Sonnanstine will be recalled from Durham and will join the team at home on Friday. ' ' '
