DOVER, Del. -- Kyle Busch heard the critics who said he was too good, too dominant, too loaded with the best equipment to keep dropping down levels and routinely romping his way toward victories. His response from Victory Lane, too bad. Busch raced to his second victory of the weekend at Dover, taking the checkered flag Saturday in the Nationwide Series race to set himself up for a tripleheader sweep. "I do it for the pure love of the sport and just wanting to be out there," Busch said. "Ill keep doing it as long as we can do it." Busch followed his dominant win Friday night in the Truck Series with another stellar run in Nationwide. He led 124 of 200 laps for his 66th career victory in NASCARs second-tier series. He has 134 wins spread over NASCARs three major series, though he has yet to win a Cup championship or marquee races such as the Daytona 500, Brickyard 400, Coca-Cola 600 or All-Star race. "Ive got a 134 of em now and none of them mean nothing," Busch said. "Hopefully, someday, the big ones come." Busch had a three-race sweep in 2010 at Bristol, which he called the highlight of his career. Hell start second behind pole-winner Brad Keselowski on Sunday in the 400-mile Sprint Cup race. He has one Cup victory this season. "We unloaded fast and I think well be OK tomorrow," Busch said. Former Daytona 500 champion Trevor Bayne was second. Bayne finished strong a week after he reached a deal to race fulltime next season for Roush Fenway Racing. Joey Logano, Matt Kenseth and Chase Elliott round out the top five. Series points leader Regan Smith was 10th. Logano, the pole winner, had won the last four Nationwide races at Dover and would have tied a Nationwide record for consecutive wins at the same track with a victory. "All good things must come to an end and well give it another shot in the fall," Logano said. "Maybe a couple of years later well be sitting here going for five again." This race belonged to Busch. The only driver to sweep a weekend, Busch has been in this position before, but is just 1 for 8 in Cup races after winning the first two. "It seems like the last one is always the hardest one," he said. "Thats due to just the competition." Busch was annoyed after rough practice and qualifying sessions left him feeling as if he didnt have the car to win. Once the green flag dropped, Busch was behind the wheel a No. 54 Toyota he called "awesome." "I didnt think it was, but it was," he said. "I never got the feel I was looking for during practice." Busch, who won for the third time this season, found it when it mattered on the mile concrete track. His brother, Kurt, failed last weekend in his attempt to complete The Double -- drive all 1,100 miles of the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. Kyle Busch hoped he could complete his Triple, though the Cup race is the traditional roadblock in his date with racing history. Busch also was the first driver to win the Truck and Nationwide race at Dover on the same weekend. Busch and Brad Keselowski own Truck teams, and NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr. owns a Nationwide team. And with sponsorship key to funding those operations, corporations often agree to sponsorship deals with the guarantee that the driver/owners will get behind the wheel in a handful of races or more. Tracks, television rights holders and NASCAR also all benefit from the draw of racings top drivers. "I know theres a lot of naysayers that say I dont belong or shouldnt be there," he said. "Until the rules change ... Ill keep running." Antonio Callaway Browns Jersey . In the calls, Hernandez discussed the murder of Odin Lloyd, including his "belief about his criminal liability" and the "extent of his control over persons charged as accessories," according to the request filed Thursday in Fall River Superior Court.

Texas selected Lewis contract from Triple-A Round Rock. http://www.brownsauthenticproshop.com/Yo...-Browns-Jersey/. - The New England Patriots needed help on defence so they added three experienced players at midseason. Austin Corbett Browns Jersey . Curtis Davies and Robert Koren secured the victory with goals inside 35 minutes of the fifth-round replay against the second-tier side. Austin Corbett Jersey . Torres scored the first goal by an English team in the knockout phase of the Champions League this season when he met Cezar Azpilicuetas cutback in the ninth minute of their first leg match in the last 16. But Chelsea failed to make the most of its counterattacks and the Turkish champions equalized in the second half after gaining in confidence and cutting out their defensive mistakes.Guy Boucher is anxious to face the chemistry-building challenge that is the Spengler Cup.The former Tampa Bay Lightning head coach will be on Canadas bench Friday when it opens the annual Christmas event in Switzerland against host team HC Davos.It begins an intense stretch for the Canadians and five other competing squads, as the tournament champion will be crowned Dec. 31.Compounding the task for Boucher is having to build his team from scratch to compete against others that have been together this season. The Canadian squad will practise as a unit for the first time Thursday.Oh yes, its a challenge but to be honest thats what I love about it, Boucher said with a chuckle via telephone from Switzerland. Its one of those things where its all thrown at you and you have to react to it and find solutions real fast.The quality of the teams in the tournament is really high and theyve been together for months whereas Canada, in one day, has to come up with a roster and gameplan thats going to beat that. In that regard I think thats the toughest thing to do, getting the chemistry on and off the ice in that short amount of time . . . but my expectation is always to win at whatever I do.Its a challenge Canada has often met, having appeared in 10 of the last 13 Spengler Cup finals and winning in 02, 03,07 and 12. Overall, Canadian teams have captured this event 12 times since first taking part in 1984.Canada will play in the Cattini Group with HC Davos and KHL club Medvescak Zagreb of Croatia. Defending champion HC Geneve-Servette of Switzerland, Finlands Jokerit Helsinki and Russian KHL side Salavat Yulaev comprise the Torriani Group.Canada went 1-1 in the preliminary round last year to finish behind Davos in Group B. The Canadians beat the AHLs Rochester Americans 6-3 in quarter-final action before dropping a 6-5 semifinal decision to Geneve-Servette. Geneve-Servette beat CSKA Moscow 5-3 to claim its first-ever tournament title. The Spengler Cup, held annually since 1923, is the worlds oldest pro international hockey event.In Switzerland, its like the world juniors back home, Boucher said. Its part of the tradition of Christmas . . . its a big thing, its THE Christmas tournament here.Boucher, 43, a native of Notre-Dame-du-Lac, Que., coached Tampa Bay from 2010-13 but is familiar with the nuances of European hockey on the wider, longer ice surface. Hes currently coaching SC Bern in the National A League in Switzerland and has been behind the bench internationally for Canada numerous times.Boucher served three seasons as an assistant with Canadas under-18 program, winning gold in 08. The following season he was an assistant with the Canadian junior squad that won a record-tying fifth straight gold medal.Bouchers roster, unveiled Tuesday by Hockey Canada, features eight returnees from last years squad (defencemen Micki Dupont, Joel Kwiatkowski, Jim Vandermeer and Derrick Walser and forwards Colby Genoway, Alexandre Giroux, Brett McLean and Byron Ritchie) and five who represented Canada at the world junior hockey championship (forwards Chris DiDomenico, Curtis Hamilton and Jeff Tambellini and defencemen Steve McCarthy and Ryan Parent ).ddddddddddddCanadas lineup features 14 Swiss League players, including four from Bouchers Bern squad (forwards Ritchie and Bud Holloway, defenceman Marc-Andre Gragnani and goalie Nolan Schaefer). Veteran AHLer Drew McIntyre of the Charlotte Checkers is the other goaltender.The combination of a condensed schedule and precious little practice time forces Boucher and his coaches to formulate a gameplan thats simple enough for the players to pick up on the fly but is still effective against more established opposition.A key is to try and put guys in roles right away because you dont have time to change roles four, five times in the tournament, Boucher said. You really have to make sure the same guys are out there on the power play, the first PK (penalty kill), play against the first line and are double-shifted.I think thats the big thing we did, working on whod play the power play and where, who had played together before so we can create chemistry right away and keep it very simple.Boucher said depth will be important for Canada in the tournament.Its a big ice surface, its geared towards speed and is a real up-and-down game, Boucher said. It really makes for a high-paced game that is very difficult to play if you dont go with four lines.You have to go with four lines, thats something I had to learn myself. As an NHL coach or AHL or junior coach back home, sometimes you play with three lines, you double-shift some guys and shorten your bench. If you do this here, your guys are dead at the end of the game.Theres also the matter of re-educating North American-based players on the European game and showing them the tricks of effectively playing Canadas brand of hockey on the larger ice surface.Even if youve got your systems, the gap inside defensively (on larger ice) is the most important thing, he said. Its very difficult to get accustomed to for defencemen because with the width of the ice you have a tendency to play on the perimeter because you feel you have more time, which is a mistake.You really want to play inside the faceoff circles because thats the same distance as back home . . . thats one thing we need to make the players understand, that we dont want to become perimeter players. Canadians are good inside, we force ourselves in, were shot blockers, were a pay-the-price type of country in terms of hockey and thats something thats got to be at the top of our list regarding what we want to show.
