JOLIET, Ill. -- Kevin Harvick was in no mood to discuss his Chicagoland Speedway finish.He didnt have anything to say after a Sunday that started off bad, appeared to have promise and then got much worse.The 2014 Sprint Cup champion was sent to the rear for the start of the race for unapproved adjustments after prerace technical inspection. He quickly drove into the top-10 but he got caught on pit road when the caution came out.The team tried to send him out after changing only two tires so he could stay on the lead lap, and he failed to beat the leader to the starting line by inches. That meant he lost a lap, and then he had to come back in for two more tires and not take the wave-around.Because there were only three more cautions the rest of the way, Harvick pitted for tires each time instead of taking the wave-around to get back on the lead lap. He finished 20th.We usually have more [cautions], said Greg Zipadelli, Stewart-Haas Racing vice president of competition. Every time he had an opportunity to get his lap back, they didnt. It is what it is. ... Its life.How you deal with it, the karma, how you react to it -- right now we go back to work.Harvick dropped to 13th in the standings. He certainly can still advance to the quarterfinal round with good races at New Hampshire or Dover.Weve had fast cars all year, so theres no reason to panic, Zipadelli said.Zipadelli said they just cant make mistakes, including the prerace penalty. Its no secret that NASCAR is trying to crack down on teams making slight body adjustments either when the cars are being pushed to the grid or on the grid.It happens, Zipadelli said. Its hard to say [what NASCAR saw]. ... Every car should have to go to back for what they look like when they roll off pit road most weeks. Its the game you play.Xfinity Series: Jones the favorite?Erik Jones made a little bit of a statement as the favorite for the Xfinity Series Chase as he won the last race of the regular season Saturday.Elliott Sadler, who won two races this year, saw his 59-point lead wiped away as Jones, now with four wins, enters as the top seed. Whos the favorite?All the media want to pick all the Toyota young drivers, the 41-year-old Sadler, a Chevy driver, said. Ill let you pick whoever the heck yall want to pick. Were not going to lay over and die. Im sure as hell not.Were pumped and ready. ... We dominated the regular season.While the 20-year-old Jones won the most races, he was fifth overall (94 points behind) in the standings. In some ways, it could be looked at that his biggest hurdle is beating himself.I tend to do that every once in a while along the way, Jones said. A lot of it is just settling in and finding your groove and just not trying to overdo it.There are a lot of times where I try to get too much at the wrong time. We did a really good job today [at Chicagoland] of not doing that. ... I never forced the issue all day. If we can do that every race in the Chase, well be in good shape.Jones said with the Chase format, the team went for wins every week, and he would have raced it differently if it had been a season-long points battle.We all know Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch tore up a lot of stuff in their younger years while Erik hasnt done that, Jones crew chief Chris Gabehart said. He takes great care of his equipment. What he doesnt know, he doesnt know.Keeping him under that line while still being able to pound the fence like Kyle Larson and not beat himself ... is a testament to how good he is at such a young age. I look forward to it. Its not going to be easy.Camping World Truck Series: Hemric locks in, gets 2017 rideDaniel Hemric and Timothy Peters were the ones who could breathe a sigh of relief Friday night as they earned the two spots available on points to get into the Camping World Truck Series version of the Chase.Hemric pretty much was in barring a disaster, and Peters was pretty much in as long as there wasnt a first-time 2016 winner.Kyle Busch outlasted a slew of challengers -- including potential winners who would have knocked out Peters -- for the win. Hemric finished second, getting into the Chase by finishing tied atop the series standings despite not having a win.Already locked into the Chase going into the regular-season finale were William Byron, Matt Crafton, Johnny Sauter, John Hunter Nemechek, Christopher Bell and Ben Kennedy.The weekend got better for Hemric, who announced Saturday that he would join Richard Childress Racing in 2017 to drive in the Xfinity Series.Its a lot of weight off my shoulders, Hemric said. Any racer knows that no matter how much you like to say it dont bother you going into the end of your season, in the back of your mind it can take a toll on you. ... Now I know I can focus on from here until we get to Homestead on the truck side.Hemrics team owner Brad Keselowski said he was happy to see one of his drivers get to move into the Xfinity Series. Hemric said he has had a long relationship with the Dillon family -- Childress grandsons Austin and Ty Dillon drive for him -- that helped in the negotiations. RCR has not announced a sponsor, crew chief or car number for Hemric.Ryan Callahan Jersey . 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. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford. Alex Killorn Jersey . Collaros, 25, was solid last season, posting a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured. Collaros also started Torontos 23-20 regular-season finale loss to Montreal — Ray didnt dress because the Argos had already clinched first in the East Division — but was one of three quarterbacks to play that day. http://www.lightninghockeystore.us/Steven-Stamkos-Jersey/ . After Martin Skrtel put the Reds in front from close range at Stamford Bridge after only four minutes, Hazard hit back in the 17th with a superb strike. Etoo gave Jose Mourinhos team a decisive lead from Oscars back pass in the 34th. Custom Tampa Bay Lightning Jerseys . Arsenal failed to take full advantage of its main rivals stumbles on Saturday as substitute Gerard Deulofeu levelled with a hard shot from a tight angle in the 84th minute to give Everton a deserved point. Ahead of a crucial fortnight that will see them play against Napoli in the Champions League, Manchester City and Chelsea, Arsenal leads by five points ahead of Liverpool and Chelsea. Vincent Lecavalier Jersey . Olli Jokinen, Mark Scheifele, and Bryan Little each had a goal and an assist as Winnipeg won 5-2, handing Calgary its record-setting seventh consecutive loss on home ice.MILWAUKEE -- For one night, Homer Bailey looked as hed never left.Bailey struck out 11 in six scoreless innings in his third game back from Tommy John surgery in the Cincinnati Reds 7-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night.That was fun for me to watch, Reds manager Bryan Price said. It looked like the Homer Bailey that we knew before the injury.Bailey (2-1) flashed all the abilities -- and all of the pitches -- that landed him a $105 million, six-year contract in 2014.The right-hander was especially dominant against the top of Milwaukees order of Jonathan Villar, promising rookie Orlando Arcia and Ryan Braun. The trio combined to go 0 for 9 with seven strikeouts against Bailey.Still, he had to lobby Price and pitching coach Mack Jenkins to go back in before the sixth, where he struck out the side to finish his night.Mack has known Homer from the time he (first) signed in 2004 and Ive known Homer since 2010. So theres a lot of familiarity with each other, Price said. We have a lot of faith in Homer.Bailey said the feeling is mutual.I know where his head and his heart are at, Bailey said. I have so much trust with those guys, I dont want to know. I just want to pitch. When I get out, I get out. When Im out there, Im out there.Adam Duvall hit his 27th home run and Billy Hamilton stole three bases to push his major league-leading total to 51.NELSON STRUGGLESMilwaukee starter Jimmy Nelson (6-12) labored through five innings, allowing three runs off six hits and three walks.Other than the Duvall homer, there wasnt a ton of hard contact. Thats where Jimmys at, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. Thats why being in the strike zone, being around the strike zone with close misses is so important.ddddddddddddExpected to be a key contributor in Milwaukees rotation, Nelson hasnt been reliable since May. After getting the first two outs of the game, he loaded the bases on a walk, a hit batter and a single before walking in a run.It wouldnt get much better from there. Duvall, Cincinnatis All-Star left fielder, hit a solo homer off Nelson in third and the Reds pounced on Milwaukees bullpen, plating four runs in the seventh.Ramon Flores hit a solo shot in the eighth, and Manny Pina hit a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth for the Brewers.MAN OF STEALHamilton stole bases on back-to-back pitches in the second and swiped his 51st base in the fourth, but was caught stealing later in the inning on a nice pickoff play by Nelson. Hamilton has 12 steals in his last five games.OFFENSE EVAPORATESThe Brewers didnt score until the eighth after they became the eighth team since 1961 to score in every inning they hit in in an 11-3 victory over Atlanta on Thursday.COUNSELL EJECTEDCounsell was ejected by plate umpire Bill Miller before the eighth.We had a little disagreement about balls and strikes, Counsell said.TRAINERS ROOMReds: Both Scott Schebler (calf) and Brandon Phillips (quad) returned to the lineup after both left Tuesdays win over the Cardinals. Cincinnati had a day off on Thursday.UP NEXTReds: Dan Straily (7-6, 3.76 ERA) is 3-0 with a 1.93 ERA in his last five starts for Cincinnati, which is 16-10 since the All-Star break.BREWERS: Milwaukee sends Zach Davies (9-4, 3.58) to the mound. Davies is 9-1 with a 2.92 ERA in his last 17 starts. ' ' '
