HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- A hard crash with 10 laps remaining in the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway crumpled up?Carl Edwards Toyota as badly as his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship hopes.It also paved the way for Jimmie Johnson to claim his record-tying seventh Cup series title.Running second late in Sundays race, Edwards aggressively moved to block?Joey Loganos Team Penske Ford on a Lap 257 restart, only for the two cars to make contact as they speared toward the inside wall on the approach to Turn 1.Logano slowed but regained control of his car and continued with minor damage, while Edwards car shot backward up the track to be knocked slightly airborne by?Kasey Kahnes Chevrolet.Six other cars were swept in, including Martin Truex Jr.s Toyota, which briefly caught fire. None of the drivers were injured.The race was red-flagged for 31 minutes and 9 seconds.Edwards immediately radioed his crew to take responsibility for the accident, saying, Thats 100 percent on me.Edwards also stopped at Loganos pit to apologize to crew chief Todd Gordon and the No. 22 team.I just pushed the issue as far as I could because I figured that was the race there, Edwards said of the pivotal restart. Joey just timed it perfectly, he moved down. I was probably a little optimistic, but I thought I could clear him or force him to lift.I just thought I had just a little more time, but he drove down as far as a guy could be expected to drive down, and thats how it ended.Edwards was classified 34th, last among the four championship contenders in the Homestead race. Logano, meanwhile, pitted for repairs and fresh tires and quickly tore through the field from eighth place to third on the subsequent restart, only for the caution flag to fly again.Logano was not positioned well for the final restart, and he finished the race in fourth place, second in the championship to Johnson. Kyle Busch, the remaining title contender, ended up sixth in the race and third in championship.Anytime you put so much on the line and you have a late-race restart, you know its gonna get crazy. Then you add two or three [restarts] on top of that and its gonna get crazier, Logano remarked.I understand why he had to throw that block, and he understands why I had to make the move, because that was for the win, Logano added. Its the only move I had, and Im not going to look back at it and second-guess that move. That was the only play I had.Despite the damaged car, Logano still had a shot at winning the race and the championship thanks to quick work by his pit crew. But once out front, Johnson drove away to a relatively unchallenged victory.We just came up a little bit short, and it hurts, Logano said. When Carl and I got into each other there, it just pretty much parted the seas for the 48 [Johnson] to run through there and gain a couple spots and put himself in position to win.He was in the right place at the right time, and that was good for him.

Nike Air Max Zero Canada .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back. WIMBLEDON -- The repeat is always tougher than the title. When the next chance comes, as it did for French Open champion Gabrine Muguruza just three weeks later at Wimbledon, its as daunting as any feat in sports.And when its a first-time Grand Slam champion looking to sweep the Euro slams as Muguruza, a 6-3, 6-2 loser to 124th-ranked qualifier Jana Cepelova, was doing here Thursday, well, the precedent is nearly nonexistent.Chris Evert accomplished the feat of following a first major win with a win at the next major in 1974. But Serena Williams, Steffi Graf, Martina Navratilova, Monica Seles and Billie Jean King are among those who didnt. Still, after defeating Serena in a straight-sets French Open final in early June and pushing her in last years Wimbledon final, Muguruza was a sentimental favorite among some to continue her run at the All England Club.Im really surprised, Cepalova said. I didnt expect it in two sets.She should not have been too surprised. Despite her ranking, the 23-year-old from Slovakia now has career wins over a No. 1 (Serena, 2014 Charleston), a No. 2 (Muguruza) and a No. 3 (Simona Halep at Wimbledon last year).The biggest casualty of the tournament thus far also continues an unfortunate trend in womens tennis, as Muguruza will be the third No. 2 player in 2016 to relinquish that ranking.The 22-year-old Spaniard, who just rose to No. 2 after her French title, said she was simply tired Thursday. And she indeed looked out of sorts throughout, hitting just one ace with four double faults, nine winners and 22 unforced errors, while managing to win just three points on 15 second serves.Cepalova had three aces and four double faults but 14 winners and 12 unforced errors, and capitalized on all four of her break-point chances.I think my energy was missing a little bit today, Muguruza said. From yesterday, I felt already a little bit -- I think tired is the best word.After the match, I was like, Its a tough day today. I feel empty a little bit and I start to feel sick. But I think it was a little bit of a combination.I think she played great, with no fear. She was tryiing a lot of stuff that was working and my energy was not really there.dddddddddddd I was trying but it did not work at all.This is the first time since 2011 that the French Open champ has failed to escape make the third round here. It is also the second straight year the reigning Wimbledon runner-up will fail to make the third round.One of the beneficiaries of Muguruzas loss was five-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams, who won a tough three-setter against qualifier Maria Sakkari on Thursday, and 2013 finalist Sabine Lisicki, who rolled past Samantha Stosur.Muguruza said being a targeted player is what she should expect in her new life as a Grand Slam champion.I think its part of being at the top level, she said. I would not change that. I know every time I step on the court, they want to beat me so much. They are all kind of loose because they have nothing to lose. But I like that. It [puts] me in a good situation. Hopefully, I can keep it like this.What she will apparently not keep, however, is the same practice routine she followed this year prior to Wimbledon, which she said exhausted her.After playing [the] French Open, after trying Mallorca, which was too early to start, then practicing hard to come here, I think was a little bit too much maybe, Muguruza said. I think at some point, my energy was going down.I guess today was the day where I felt it right away. I just have to recover a little bit and, you know, get my energy back, then be good again. ... You cannot go out there not at your best.After winning the French, Muguruza expressed amazement at Rafael Nadals nine titles. She seemed just as baffled Thursday, but in a bad way.It is very difficult, she said. Im just [experiencing] a lot of things so fast. Its my first time after a great result, coming to another Grand Slam. So Im trying to discover how Im going to feel, how do I have to go on court, how do I have to rest more.But, hey, thats what it takes [to win more], so Ive got to be ready. ' ' '
