A stunning come-from-behind drive in Sydney has delivered Shane van Gisbergen his first Supercars championship, denying Jamie Whincup a record seventh title.The Holden gun finished third behind his Red Bull Racing teammate Whincup in the opening race of the season-ending round for an unassailable points lead.But he had looked unlikely to close it out on Saturday after copping an early drive-through penalty.The Kiwi - who started on pole position - paid the price for spinning reigning champion Mark Winterbottoms Ford, sending van Gisbergen towards the back of the grid.A safety car with 25 laps to go helped shoot him up to ninth, before clawing his way up to third with some superb driving and brave passing.The result takes his lead over Whincup to 170 points, more than the 150 on offer in Sundays final race.He becomes the first New Zealand-born driver to win an Australian touring car crown since Jim Richards in 1991.Van Gisbergen had been considered a mercurial talent since he started racing in the category in 2007 as a gung-ho 18-year-old.But after switching to the factory-backed Red Bull outfit this season from the family-run Tekno Autosports, the 27-year-old has been incredibly consistent and measured.He finished on the podium in each of the past eight races leading up to the finale, including Sandown, Bathurst and Gold Coast.Three of those were wins, while Whincup took out the other five.Van Gisbergens hot form continued on the streets of Olympic Park, setting a new lap record in practice on Friday before smashing it again in qualifying.The season ends with a second 74-lap race on Sunday, the last time Sydney will host the finale before it heads to Newcastle in 2017.Van Gisbergen was quick to apologise to Winterbottom after the race and credit his awesome car for getting a championship-winning podium.What an amazing year, he said.Its a pretty awesome day.Whincup said he gave it his all but congratulated van Gisbergen.The winner of the championship is the most consistent, and theyve been the most consistent, the six-time title-winner said.It was not quite our year but I hope everyone enjoyed the battle and looking forward to doing it all again next year.Nike Air Max 270 Herr Rea . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday.

A more lighthearted atmosphere at practice, complete with friendly football contests.In no time, first-year Colorado basketball coach JR Payne has changed the course and culture of the 18th-ranked Buffaloes. At 8-0, theyve already surpassed their win total (seven) from a season ago.This amount of success so early is somewhat of a surprise. Payne figured it might take a little bit more time to install her system. But her players instantly bought in and now theyre off and rolling.We have a great group of girls here, who just play their hearts out, said Payne, whose team hosts rival Colorado State on Thursday night. But I definitely did not expect to start this way.A little bonding went a long way. The first thing Payne did after being hired from Santa Clara last March was chat with each player. Just a get-to-know-you session. Whats your family like? Hopes and aspirations? That sort of thing.We really worked to build relationships with the kids, because we didnt recruit any of them, said Payne, who was 23-9 in her final season at Santa Clara. We didnt know any of them.But she could see their work ethic. Hard to miss, actually.Guards Kennedy Leonard and Alexis Robinson were always on the floor whenever she walked past the gym.Turns out, those two had adopted what they termed their 7-to-9 rule. They showed up each day from 7 to 9 a.m. and again from 7 to 9 p.m. to get in some extra shooting. The workouts actually started before Payne was brought on board and they would sometimes be joined by other players. Simply doing their part to bounce back from a 7-23 season a year ago that led to the exit of coach Linda Lappe.That (extra work) was for us, our team, because we were sick of losing, Leonard said.Payne didnt ask about last season. It didnt matter. This was a new beginning as the Buffaloes try to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2012-13.Were a very positive staff and always upbeat, encouraging, Payne said.dddddddddddd We have a lot of fun with our team.Like the other day, when the Colorado football team was playing Washington in the Pac-12 Championship game. The basketball team decided to play a little football. Later, they had dinner at their coachs house as they took in the game. They even played with her three kids.And last weekend, Leonard & Co. took two of Paynes children to see the movie, Moana.Everything with us is about family, said Leonard, a sophomore from Southlake, Texas. Constantly hearing that day in and day out, it builds an even stronger team and unity.The Buffaloes have taken to heart the three pillars of Paynes program -- be the toughest team on the floor, be the hardest-working squad and play with discipline. Theyve won by an average of 25.8 points and knocked off No. 15 Kentucky 79-69 on Nov. 19.We give everyone a role on the team that plays to their strength, said Payne, whose real name is Ali-Marie but was nicknamed JR as a kid by her father after getting into fights with her brother. Its an ode to the character J.R. Ewing in the show Dallas.Paynes system is a hybrid of what she ran at Santa Clara. They push the pace at times and theyre aggressive on defense. Also making the Buffaloes difficult is that they have seven players averaging at least five points, with Leonard leading the way at a 16.3.No one has to go for 30 for us to be successful, Payne said. All these different players, on any given night, have the ability to put the ball in the basket. Thats such a great thing for a first-year coach.So is this: A little chip on the shoulder of the players. Just to show everyone this program is on the rise again.Expect the unexpected, Leonard said. Because every day we go into practice and work on something new to try and get better. Well probably surprise a few people along the way. ' ' '
