CONCORD, N.C. -- It should have been catastrophic nearly any way Joey Logano looked at his situation. His wrecked race car was in the garage during the opening race of the second round of the playoffs, his crew frantically trying to get him back on track.At the moment, Loganos only saving grace was that Kevin Harvick had his own disabled vehicle and was stuck watching Sundays race at Charlotte Motor Speedway roll on without them.Then Austin Dillon wrecked, Chase Elliott, too. Denny Hamlin lost an engine and Martin Truex Jr. had a pit road miscue.In all, five drivers finished 30th or worse Sunday, meaning the field remained bunched enough that everyone has an equal shot to recover.There are two more races, at Kansas and Talladega, before this field of 12 is whittled to eight, and only eight points separate Hamlin, in the cutoff position, from Harvick, who is last in the standings. Logano, who got back on track to finish 36th, is two points ahead of Harvick and only six behind Hamlin.I feel better about it, Logano said of the standings. My team did a good job fighting to get back out there and I think we gained two points by doing that, and that could be the difference when its all said and done.No one was immune Sunday, not Chevrolet, Ford or Toyota. The longshots Dillon and Elliott were wrecked, the favorites Harvick and Logano fallen by broken parts or tire issues.The big winner? Why, Jimmie Johnson, who suddenly has a record-tying seventh championship in reach.Hendrick Motorsports has been underwhelming this year, Johnson stuck in a 24-race losing streak. This Chase so far had been a Truex and Harvick show, Johnson just the driver of a car that seemed to have some speed but was no ultimate match with the others.His win Sunday showed otherwise, and he stamped his name into the third round of the playoffs. Johnson had failed to advance to the round of eight each of the last two years, but hes got his slot now, and thats the first step in winning that elusive seventh title.He sounded hungry after the race, his eighth win at Charlotte and 78th of his career.We cant sit back and celebrate too much, Johnson said. Weve got to buckle down and get to work and keep advancing our race cars.DOUBLE-HEADER: The race was originally scheduled to run Saturday night, but Hurricane Matthew washed out almost the entire weekend. So all racing was pushed to Sunday, which turned into an 800-mile doubleheader with the Xfinity Series.Logano went on to win the Xfinity Series race, which was the eliminating event in the inaugural Chase for that series. Ty Dillon was knocked out by Bubba Wallace by one point, and Brennan Poole, Ryan Sieg and Brandon Jones were also eliminated.The second round of the Chase is a reprieve for Erik Jones, the pre-playoff favorite who fell into a deep hole in the opening race and is now back to even.KENSETH TO KANSAS: Matt Kenseth left Charlotte on solid footing for the first time in the elimination system via a second-place finish to Johnson.The stop in Charlotte had been his downfall the last two years. He tackled Brad Keselowski in the garage following a disappointing finish in 2014, and was second-to-last a year ago.So to leave in decent shape, with the pressure not nearly as high this weekend at Kansas, Kenseth felt OK.Honestly, last two years in a row, pretty much Charlotte has kind of taken us out of the Chase -- mostly my doing, he said.HENDRICK RETURNS : This had been a miserable season for Hendrick Motorsports, by its own standards. Only two of its four drivers made the Chase this year and Dale Earnhardt Jr. is sidelined with a concussion.Johnson has the only wins for the organization, but Elliott had been sniffing victory lane all season.On Sunday, the two combined to lead 258 of the 334 laps, and Johnson and Elliott ran 1-2 for a huge chunk of the race.Elliott was involved in an accident with 75 laps remaining and could not hide his disappointment.We had such a good car, he said. Im devastated that we didnt get the result that my guys deserve.Despite Elliotts finish, it was a good organizational day for Hendrick: Kasey Kahne finished third and Alex Bowman showed early speed before a tire issue caused him to wreck.

McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football.

HOOVER, Ala. -- Alabama coach Nick Saban told reporters at SEC media days that All-SEC left tackle Cam Robinson and reserve defensive back Laurence Jones faced internal discipline after their arrests on drug and weapons charges and will have a chance to play in the season opener against USC.The two upperclassmen were arrested in mid-May in their hometown of Monroe, Louisiana. Robinson was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance and illegal possession of a stolen firearm, and Jones was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance. However, the district attorney declined to prosecute, citing insufficient evidence.Saban emphasized that the decision to not press charges was out of my hands and that the facts of the case as they have been advertised are different than what weve been told.An Alabama official told ESPN that Robinson and Jones were required to take weekly drug tests, undergo routine drug counseling, receive gun education from Tuscaloosa Police, do 26 hours of ride-alongs with police, volunteer with the Police Athletic League and submit to outpatient drug treatment.You have to look at the whole picture, Saban said. Based on the information we got and what they did, thats what were going to do. Thats my decision. Im also basing this decision based on the type of people these guys have been in our program and what theyve done to change their behavior relative to our program.Saban was involved in a testy exchange with the SEC Networks Paul Finebaum after he was asked why he didnt suspend Robinson.Because Im nnot going to convict him in public, Saban said.dddddddddddd. I was going to get criticized by you and the public and the media because Im not going to suspend him and I dont really care about that. Thats the end of the conversation.Robinson tweeted reaction Wednesday afternoon, which he later deleted.According to the police report of their arrest, an officer smelled marijuana after approaching the players vehicle at a closed park. The report alleges that a bag of marijuana and a handgun were in plain sight, and a stolen handgun was found under the passenger seat.Robinson was allegedly driving the vehicle with Jones as his passenger. The stolen-firearms charge Robinson faced was a felony, while the other charges both he and Jones faced were misdemeanors.I want to emphasize once again that the main reason Im doing this is that I refuse to ruin the lives of two young men who have spent their adolescence and teenage years working and sweating while we were all in the air conditioning, district attorney Jerry Jones told KNOE-TV of his decision not to prosecute.Robinson is an All-SEC left tackle entering his junior season. The 6-foot-6, 325-pound junior started every game since his freshman year in 2014. ESPN NFL draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. has him as the No. 7 player on his early 2017 Big Board.Jones, a reserve in his first two years at Alabama, was widely regarded as one of the top safety prospects coming out of high school.
