DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The record book shows Aric Almirola had one career Xfinity Series victory before Friday nights win at Daytona International Speedway.He never counted that win, at Milwaukee in 2007, refused to take the trophy and thought it was a black mark on his record all these years.Now he has a real win to his name.Almirola was declared the winner of Friday nights race in which NASCAR determined he was the leader when the caution flag froze the field shortly before the finish line. It was technically the second win of his career, but he said he doesnt accept the first win because he was replaced midway through that race by Denny Hamlin, and it was Hamlin who drove the car to victory lane.For me, this is my first Xfinity win, Almirola said. I know I have a win, but theres always been an asterisk next to it. I hated the fact that I got credit for that. I did not like that. I didnt take the trophy when they called me the winner. I didnt take any of the credit all along.I didnt feel like I deserved to win that race because I wasnt in the car when that race was over. But tonight I was. Tonight, we went to Victory Lane and Im here and I was in the car. So this is my first Xfinity win.Almirola now has wins in all three of NASCARs national series.He celebrated this latest victory, the first since he won a rain-shortened Sprint Cup Series race at Daytona in 2014, by taking the checkered flag and running alongside his Ford Mustang as it was pushed to Victory Lane. He was met there by his young son, who pouted earlier in the day, when he had to leave the playground but was promised his dad would win a trophy if he went inside and ate his dinner.I told him that if he came in and ate his dinner, that Daddy was going to go race in the Xfinity race and we were going to get a trophy tonight. And we got a trophy! Almirola said as his son, Alex, high-fived him.The race had already been sent to a two-lap overtime shootout when a multi-car accident on the backstretch clouded the final running order. A four-car pack led by Almirola and Justin Allgaier hurtled toward the finish, but NASCAR had to freeze the field because of the accident that happened behind them.I knew it was close. I knew it was really close, he said. I knew they wrecked behind us. I was like, When are they going to throw the caution? I knew I was in front of him.The cars were brought down pit road as NASCAR reviewed the running order, and Tampa native Almirola was given the win.Allgaier, in a Chevrolet, had thought he was the winner until NASCAR made the call for Almirola.I guess it just depends on what replay you look at, he said. We definitely had the momentum down the back there. ... When you lose them by that little bit, it definitely is frustrating. When you can be disappointed with second, though, its still a good day.Before the overtime finish, NASCAR said Darrell Wallace Jr. did not maintain speed and forced him to swap positions with Allgaier before the race went green. He finished 20th and took to Twitter to blast NASCARs race control.Got the muppets up there officiating tonight! he wrote. Never know how to react under pressure. ... Whatta joke.Ryan Sieg finished third and Joey Logano was fourth.Brendan Gaughan was fifth and followed by Ryan Reed, Jeff Green and Spencer Gallagher. Chase Elliott and Erik Jones completed the top 10.The finish was reminiscent of the May race at Talladega, where Elliott Sadler and Brennan Poole both waited in their cars at the finish line for NASCAR to declare the winner. It went to Sadler, who had a shot to win Friday night until the race went to overtime and he had to stop for gas. Wholesale Sneakers Canada Online .

There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me.

NEW YORK -- Tyler Austin and Aaron Judge wasted no time in making an impact on the New York Yankees on Saturday, becoming the first teammates to hit home runs in the first at-bats of their major league debuts in the same game.And the Baby Bombers did it back-to-back in a five-pitch span against Tampa Bay.Called up before the game as part of the Yankees youth movement, Austin batted seventh and sliced Matt Andrieses 2-2 fastball to the opposite field in the second inning. The 331-foot drive down the right-field line landed in the first row over the short porch, about 3 feet fair.Judge drove a 1-2 change-up 446 feet, a shot off the railing above a sports bar in center field and into the netting above Monument Park.Only once before had two players homered in the first at-bat of their debuts in the same game, and they were on opposing teams: Brooklyns Earnie Koy and the Phillies Heinie Mueller in the first inning at Philadelphias Baker Bowl on April 19, 1938.New York started a pair of players making their big league debuts for the first time since center fielder Jim Lyttle and catcher John Ellis against the California Angels on May 17, 1969.Judge had just ordered a postgame midnight meal with his parents in Rochester when Scranton/Wilkes-Barre manager Al Pedrique walked up to his table at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que and told him about the call-up. So after a bacon burger and mac and cheese, the 24-year-old first baseman drove through the night with mom and dad, arriving at a Parsippany, New Jersey, hotel around 6 a.m.It was kind of a shock, said Judge, who at first thought Pedrique was kidding.Austin, also 24, had gotten his news earlier Friday. When his flight was canceled, the Yankees sent a car service to take him on the 5-hour drive.New York made the roster moves as it released 41-year-old Alex Rodriguez. And in a coincidence that highlighted the generational change, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte, Jorge Posada and Bernie Williams were at Yankee Stadium for a 20th anniversary celebration of the 1996 World Series championship team, the start of a dynasty that would win four titles in five years.Im excited to see all these guys that I watched on TV in October, Judge said.Manager Joe Girardi noticed the parallels.I think its good for them to be here today to see that these guys were young, these guys performed at a high level and they had a long run. Lets go do the same thing, the manager said.Receiving their first recognition fromm the Bleacher Creatures in the game-opening roll call, they joined 23-year-old catcher Gary Sanchez, who entered the game hitting .dddddddddddd357 (10 for 28) with three doubles, a home run and four RBI since he was brought up Aug. 3.Girardi said Judge, a burly 6-foot-7 and 275 pounds, will be the regular right fielder. Austin will share time at first with Mark Teixeira and also DH.General manager Brian Cashman planned to bring up Austin and added Judge once it became clear following Friday nights game that Brett Gardner would be sidelined for several days after getting hit by a pitch above the right ankle.I figured Judge, being his first call-up, hes not going to sleep anyway, Cashman said. Thank God hes young, because if that was me, I would be a zombie right now.Austin got action two pitches in, gloving the throw from shortstop Didi Gregorius on Logan Forsythes grounder. Judge caught the final out of the first, stretching with his left arm to snag Evan Longorias flyout and then bracing himself with both hands as he hit the padded right-field wall.Austin, who also plays corner outfield and third base, was batting seventh and Judge hit eighth. A 13th-round draft pick in 2010, Austin suffered a wrist injury that slowed his career. After a poor 2015, he was designated for assignment Sept. 1, giving other teams a chance to claim him off waivers.He remained with the Yankees and after playing in the Arizona Fall League and Venezuelan Winter League, he started this year at Double-A Trenton and was promoted to Scranton on June 4.Austin didnt know for sure he would start until he saw the lineup posted in the Yankees clubhouse.Its been a bumpy road for sure, he said. Im just excited to be here. At the beginning of the year, I honestly didnt think that I would be.Cashman wouldnt rule out more veterans leaving by the start of next season, opening more opportunities.Its always in the best interest to be open-minded and listen, he said. I wouldnt say anybody is untouchable.Game notes RHP Ben Heller was optioned to Scranton. ... Gardner said X-rays were negative. ... RHP Conor Mullee was transferred to the 60-day DL following surgery Tuesday to repair ulnar nerve decompression surgery in his right elbow. ... Judge became the third No. 99 in Yankees history, following Charlie Keller in 1952 and Brian Bruney in 2009. ' ' '
