Cheap Air Max 2019 . -- Jamie McMurray knows the kind of pressure NASCAR drivers are under at Richmond International Raceway in the cutoff race to qualify for the Chase for the Sprint Cup.He has experienced it from all sides.McMurray, who will make his 500th career Sprint Cup Series start Saturday night in the Federated Auto Parts 400, is on the brink of qualifying for the Chase for the second year in a row.He and fellow Chevrolet driver Ryan Newman are battling for the 16th and final entry into the 2016 Chase, assuming theres not a new winner, with McMurray holding a relatively comfortable 22-point advantage.Coming out of Sunday nights Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, the gap was just seven points, but Newman was penalized 15 points by NASCAR on Wednesday because his car failed the postrace laser inspection.Thanks to the penalty, McMurray can breathe a little easier. But he knows he cant afford to cruise and collect.Im not going to do anything different, he said between practice sessions Friday at RIR. Im just going to race the way we have all year long. I feel like my style of racing is somewhat conservative anyway to get the best finish out of it you can. Thats whats put us in this position.Weve got a really good car, and thats going to make it easier, he added. The car is better than normal in practice, and this has been a pretty good track for me. We could have a first-time winner, but I dont expect me to outrun [Newman] by 20 positions or vice versa.We just need a normal race, maybe try to give some guys a little extra room and have a solid night.McMurrays position on the bubble is not as comfortable as it was a year ago, when he clinched a Chase berth by simply taking the start at Richmond.But hes happy to be on the positive side of the points ledger, where he can afford to be defensive rather than forced into uncharacteristic aggression.And after losing what looked like a certain Chase berth back in 2005 when his car dropped a valve spring with 30 laps to go, McMurray also knows that the drama about who makes it into the NASCAR playoffs and who misses out wont be determined until the checkered flag flies.Until youre locked in, it doesnt matter, he said. In 2005, I was in, and then I wasnt because the motor stopped running. So Im not going to race any differently until its over.Making the Chase is a goal you set out every year, he added. Everybody wants to win a race, you want to win a pole and you want to be in the Chase. Last year I didnt really get what a big deal it is, but now I really want to be a part of it again.Among winless drivers, Chase Elliott and Austin Dillon are in slightly better shape pointswise than McMurray. Elliot can lock in by finishing 17th, while an eighth-place run for Dillon would do the job regardless of all other scenarios.Dillon and Cup Series rookie Elliott are looking to make the Chase for the first time.Weve done a good job putting ourselves in position, said Dillon, who is Newmans teammate at Richard Childress Racing. I wish we were locked in by now, but I feel like we have a car capable of running pretty well here and were going about it like a regular race weekend. If we have a good strong finish, [the Chase] will take care of itself.I think Ive been nervous for the last two or three weeks now, he continued. Being in the Chase is a big deal. Its one of our main goals. Hopefully we can pull out a strong result Saturday night and maybe even contend for a win.Although the main focus is on the fight for 16th in the points, the subplot is Chris Bueschers battle to remain Chase eligible by staying in the top 30.Buescher took a fog-aided victory at Pocono Raceway in the No. 34 Front Row Motorsports Ford and is 11 points ahead of David Ragan on the Chases other cutoff line.I think we pretty much know what we have to do, Buescher said. Were going to control what we can control and do our best to have a clean race and stay out of trouble. This is not one of my better tracks, but we made progress in practice and are definitely better than we were here in the spring.Theres a lot of anticipation leading into this weekend, but Im pretty confident were in a good spot right now.For Newman, Kasey Kahne and the rest of the field, even though they can still sneak in on points, winning Saturday nights race is really their only realistic shot. Kahne finished a season-high fourth in the spring race at Richmond, but repeating that result wont be enough for him to crack the top 16 without a lot of help from the likes of McMurray and Buescher.Newman was already unhappy that he lost several places in the pits Sunday night at Darlington [he finished eighth but thought he could have been third], and the subsequent 15-point penalty made his task even tougher.He believes the speed he showed at Darlington should translate to the smaller Richmond oval.It gives us hope going into Richmond, Newman stated. We go there like we always do, to win. Ive been in this situation before. Well go and do everything we can to win and make the transfer.Even drivers who have already qualified for the Chase admitted they are following the intrigue over the cutoff for 16th with interest.For some guys, this is their whole season, said Carl Edwards of Joe Gibbs Racing. This is everything theyve worked for, so Ill definitely be conscious of that. You dont want to mess up anybodys season.By the end of the race, it will be kind of fun to watch that.

Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days.

The giant slalom world champion slipped during her first run in the morning, landing on her back and then twisting forward before getting her leg caught in the protective material on the side of the slope.SYLVANIA, Ohio -- Alison Walshe put herself in prime position at the Marathon Classic for her first LPGA Tour victory. But, as the name of the tournament implies, the race has just begun. Walshe shot a 6-under 65, her best score in her four years on the LPGA Tour, to take a one-stroke lead Thursday in the opening round of the tournament formerly known as the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic. Jessica Shepley of Owen Sound, Ont., is among three players who are tied for second. Teenager Lexi Thompson and Paula Creamer, who won the tournament five years ago, also shot 66. Top-ranked Inbee Park, winner of the years first three major championships, is within two shots. Walshe, among the top 20 on tour in putting stats, three-putted at the first hole for bogey -- then took only 19 putts on the next 17 holes. "I was like, Here we go again," Walshe said. "Then I one-putted the next hole and got my confidence going." She also chipped in for birdie on the 14th hole, her fifth of the day, to jump-start her round. Walshe came into the Marathon, in its first year under its new title sponsor, quietly. She hasnt had a top 10 this year and ranks 55th on the money list with earnings of just over $120,000. She hasnt finished higher than a tie for 17th at Kingsmill. Her career best is a tie for eighth a year ago at the Kraft Nabisco. "Ive been hitting it probably the best Ive hit it in a long time this year," said the 28-year-old University of Arizona grad from Westford, Mass. "Ive been giving myself a lot of opportunities, and its frustrating that I havent been able to really go deep and make some putts." Everybody in the 144-player field was tormented by temperatures in the 90s, high humidity, little wind and a glaring sun. Thompson said after her round that she drank a bottle of water per hole to stay hydrated. Walshe benefited from a morning tee time, but it wasnt as if it was cool then, either. "At 7 in the morning I was sweating and Im sweating now," she said just after completing her round around 1 p.m. Creamer, who opened with a career-low 60 in her 2008 victory at the course, was satisfied to be a shot off the pace. "Im very pleased. I had a lot of shots out there that I could have gone lower with," she said. "But at the same time, it was aa good start.
Air Max 2019 Sale. I havent been able to start off the way I wanted the last couple of events, so this was nice to post a good number." Shepley, a former University of Tennessee player, has struggled this year but is encouraged. "Ive had a couple of good results. I played a couple smaller events up in Canada," she said. "Ive been working hard on my swing a lot. Im trying to stay patient, so was hoping one of these rounds would come soon." Thompson, who was the youngest winner ever of an LPGA event when she took the 2011 Navistar at the age of 16, was asked if American players had been eclipsed by the South Koreans who have dominated in recent years. "There are a lot of good American golfers out here. There is so much competition," she said. "It doesnt matter where youre from; it matters how well you bring it out on the golf course." No one questions how well Park has played. Shell go for an unprecedented fourth consecutive womens major in the same year when she heads for the Womens British Open late this month. Shes already won six times on the tour this year while ascending to No. 1. Naturally, galleries expect her to win every time out. "I do feel more pressure coming into this tournament," she said after a 67 that left her tied with Haeji Kang, Jacqui Concolino, Gerina Piller and Karine Icher. "But I try to enjoy it. I enjoy the fans coming out to watch." Defending champ So Yeon Ryu had a 68 along with a large group that included Morgan Pressel and Natalie Gulbis. Se Ri Pak, a five-time winner of the tournament, opened with a 69 -- the same as the worlds top-ranked amateur, Lydia Ko. The course is built for low scores. Over the last six years, the winners are a combined 103 under par. "I know there are some very good scores out there," said Ko, who appears a lock to run her streak of professional cuts made to a perfect 22 for 22. "Ive just got to play my game. I cant control what the others do." Rebecca Lee-Bentham of Toronto is in contention with a 2-under 69. Maude-Aimee Leblanc of Sherbrooke, Que., is another shot back. Alena Sharp of Hamilton turned in a 72. Charlottetowns Lori Kane and Sara-Maude Juneau of Fossambault, Que., had 73s. Sue Kim of Langley, B.C., had a 4-over 75. ' ' '
