BRISTOL, Tenn.
Michael Deiter Womens Jersey . -- Danica Patrick wrecked just minutes into what turned into a dicey first practice session Friday at Bristol Motor Speedway. In all, four drivers had to go to backup cars before the halfway mark of the 90-minute session, including 15-time Bristol winner Kyle Busch. Denny Hamlin, who watched the first 15 minutes of practice from pit road, attributed the wrecks to drivers adapting to NASCARs new aerodynamic rules and Goodyears tire compound producing faster speeds. "I really dont think its treacherous," Hamlin told Fox Sports 1. "Its just the speeds are so much higher than weve seen. It takes a little getting used to. We are all out there fighting for a tenth-of-a-second, a hundredth-of-a-second at Bristol. I think it comes more from us pushing the edge than it is treacherous." Patrick was the first to wreck, losing control roughly three minutes into the session. She slammed into Parker Kligermans car, and his Swan Racing team appeared to be trying to fix his Toyota as Stewart-Haas Racing immediately pulled out the backup Chevrolet for Patrick. Justin Allgaier then hit the wall, then Busch. Moments later, Greg Biffle crashed. All three went to backup cars. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. later scraped the wall, but didnt appear to do much damage. Ryan Newman, who missed the first 15 minutes of practice because of a penalty last week at Las Vegas, found the beginning of practice entertaining. "We sat there and watched a few guys crash," he said. "It seems like the cars are really, really sensitive to some changes just because the cars are so stiff now because of the rigidity of how were running them. Once you lose it, you really lose it, which is what weve seen."

Mark Duper Youth Jersey . As if the individual strands of grey hair or the increasing amount of joint pain werent reminders enough, the impending end of Jeters career is a slap-in-the-face indicator of a generations fleeting youth.Why is Harry Kane taking corners? Its a question many England fans are asking - and struggling to answer - following the countrys 1-1 draw with Russia at Euro 2016. The Tottenham striker was top scorer in the Premier League last season but, rather than aiming to get on the end of corners in Marseille, Kane was delivering them - with mixed success - in Englands tournament opener.Kane took six corners against Russia on Saturday night, with two particularly poor efforts flying over the box, forcing Dele Alli to dash after the ball to keep it in play on the other side of the field. In the Premier League this season, Kane took just seven corners for Tottenham, where Christian Eriksen is the dedicated set-piece specialist. And all seven of those Kane corners were taken short. Kanes corners vs Russia 1 - Overhit. Alli retrieves on other side of pitch. 2 - Finds Smalling. Defender heads over from penalty spot. 3 - Cleared at near post. 4 - Cleared at near post. 5 - Overhit. Russia clear.6 - Short to Lallana. Kane receives the ball back but cross just evades Cahill. However, he was handed corner-kick duty by Roy Hodgson for Englands first Euro 2016 warm-up game against Turkey on May 22 and has continued to take them since.I dont need to apologise for Kane taking a corner, Hodgson said at the time. Especially if youve got a player with his quality striking a ball and no one else in the team who comes up to that level of striking a ball.Its a move Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp is critical of. The former Liverpool captain - an expert at striking a dead ball during his playing days - says the responsibility should fall to an England midfielder, so Kane can concentrate on scoring himself. We need Kane in the box. To have our best striker taking corners doesnt make any sense. Jamie Redknapp Were allowing one of our best players to take corners - and its not good news. I cant understand it, he told Sky Sports News HQs Euro Verdict.Weve got some very good technical players - Alli, Wayne Rooney - so why are we letting Harry Kane take them? He can deliver a good ball and he has that cross where it dips into the box, but Im sure most players can do that. We need Kane in the box. To have our best striker taking corners doesnt make any sense.Ray Wilkins, a former set-piece taker for England, was equally confused by the tactic.It baffles the life out of me, he said. If youre a midfield player playing at international level and you cant kick a ball 40 yards, unopposed, and stick it in an area of 10 yards at a height where you have an opportunity to score, you shouldnt really be playing. Kane only took seven corners for Tottenham all season - and all were short passes Indeed, in the past two Premier League seasons Kane has scored 10 times from set-piece situations (not including his one goal direct from a free-kick) and, in 2015/16, no player scored more goals from inside the box. All the indicators are hed be a more than useful presence in the opposition box for corner-kick routines.However, the bare facts of his corner-taking at Euro 2016 make for interesting reading: no player has completed more successful corners so far in the tournament and Kanes corner-kick stats are far more impressive than Dimitri Payets efforts for France against Romania.
