KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Joe Gibbs Racing made another big statement in qualifying at Kansas Speedway on Friday.The dominant Sprint Cup team this season, JGR swept the top three spots for the second race in the round of 12 of the Chase. Matt Kenseth will start on the pole after his lap of 192.089 mph, Kyle Busch will start alongside him and Carl Edwards will start right behind them in third.Throw in Martin Truex Jr., whose Furniture Row team has an alliance with the Gibbs boys, and there will be quite a Toyota presence leading the field to the green flag Sunday.Our cars are pretty fast this weekend but anything could happen, as we saw last weekend, said Kenseth, who won at Kansas the last time he sat on the pole in 2013. We have to go 400 miles on Sunday. Hopefully we can stay up front and be in the mix.Most of the Chase contenders were in the mix in the final round of qualifying.Joey Logano will try to win the Kansas race for the third straight time for the sixth spot, while Denny Hamlin gave JGR another strong qualifying effort with seventh. Brad Keselowski will start eighth, Kevin Harvick will start 11th and Austin Dillon will roll off in 12th.We have a decent starting spot. Well get a good stall from there, Logano said. Our teams got confidence, for sure. We had a very fast car last weekend at Charlotte.The winner last week, Jimmie Johnson, struggled with a tight car in qualifying and will start 21st on Sunday. Chase Elliott will start 13th and Kurt Busch will start 15th as they try to take the pressure off the crapshoot known as Talladega by advancing in the Chase with a win.We just missed it a little bit, Elliott said, but the starting spot is the starting spot.EDWARDS RALLIES: Edwards had a lousy first attempt in the opening round of qualifying, and needed a last-ditch second effort to make it through. He posted the fourth-fastest lap with about 2 minutes left in the second round, then had a lap of 191.015 in the third round.I had to run an extra round because I screw up the first round, Edwards said. I really thought we were shot after that first one. I didnt think we had a shot at a top five.PENALTIES ISSUED: Kyle Busch hardly seemed hurt by a penalty for swerving after last weeks race at Charlotte that forced him to sit the first 30 minutes of practice Friday. The swerving is a tactic teams have used to help make sure they pass laser inspections.You swerve, youre sitting, NASCAR vice president of competition Scott Miller said.WATCH THE WIND: Ricky Stenhouse and Clint Bowyer scraped the wall in almost the exact same spot in the first round of qualifying. Wind gusts down the backstretch created a tricky exit to Turn 4, and both drivers slapped the right rear into the outside wall. Neither had serious damage, and Stenhouse managed to get into the second round of qualifying. Hell start 18th and Bowyer will start 31st. Wholesale Custom Jerseys .

Luis Suarezs double powered Liverpool to a 4-0 victory over Fulham, and Southampton easily overcame Hull 4-1 to continue the south coast clubs impressive start to the season. Liverpool and Southampton sent Chelsea down to fourth place as the west London club was held to 2-2 at home. With senior quarterback Seth Russell throwing passes during a high-tempo Baylor practice, and the same assistant coaches on the field, so much looks familiar as the Bears get ready for a new season.That is what acting head coach Jim Grobe has wanted since being put into a difficult situation.A key for us is for the kids to start making headlines for touchdowns and tackles, and not all the past stuff, Grobe said.The former Wake Forest coach was brought out of semi-retirement at the end of May following the sudden offseason dismissal of coach Art Briles. The Bears lost their two-time Big 12 champion coach, while the school president was demoted and athletic director resigned, in the wake of a report from an independent review that determined the school mishandled complaints of sexual assault against some players.Grobe kept the rest of the coaching staff intact, including the offensive coordinator who is Briles son, citing the importance for players to have continuity for practices and games.As far as Xs and Os, things arent broken here, Grobe said of the team that has led the nation in scoring and total offense each of the past three years.Russell was the top-rated FBS passer when he suffered a season-ending neck injury in the seventh game last year. Russell was on a mission trip in Brazil with other Baylor athletes when he found out Briles would no longer be their coach, but the quarterback had no second thoughts about returning to the Bears when he found out Grobes plan to keep things the same on the field.Coach Grobe has done a really good job of showing his leadership and showing us the right way of doing things, Russell said. Were trying to build the way people view Baylor back up.RUNNING BEARS: In their Citrus Bowl victory over North Carolina, the Bears had four differeent players take snaps and piled up 645 yards rushing.dddddddddddd Baylor returns a pair of 1,000-yard rushers in senior Shock Linwood (1,280 yards) and junior Johnny Jefferson, who got 299 of his 1,000 yards in the bowl game. Linwood is the nations third-leading active rusher with 3,462 yards, only 203 shy of Walter Abercrombies school record. Linwoods 34 rushing TDs are one shy of Alfred Andersons school record.KEY GAMES: After two Friday night non-conference games, Baylor opens Big 12 play at home Sept. 24 against Oklahoma State, which was 10-0 last season before a 10-point home loss to the Bears. On Nov. 5, the Bears host TCU for the first time since their comeback from a 21-point deficit in the final 11 minutes two years ago for an epic 61-58 victory. That game is in the middle of a difficult stretch for the Bears, sandwiched between trips to Texas and Oklahoma.PREDICTION: The Bears have won 50 games over the past five seasons, but there will be four new starting offensive linemen and no proven backup quarterback after Jarrett Stidhams departure. If Russell can stay healthy, the Bears should be near the top of the Big 12 standings, though a third conference title in four seasons just seems unlikely.SEASON OPENER: Sept. 2 vs. Northwestern State, an FCS team from Louisiana. The Bears will be the first Big 12 team to kick off the season, with their Friday night opener scheduled to start 90 minutes before Kansas State plays at Stanford. This will be Baylors fifth game against the Demons, who have lost the previous four by an average margin of 50 points. It was 70-6 two years ago.---Online: AP College football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
