.That became abundantly clear earlier this summer during the IndyCar weekend in Toronto when Price made a jaw-dropping impressio Antworten

Young race drivers know no fear. Sara Price takes that to another level. The 17-time motocross national champion is oblivious to breakneck speeds, gravity-defying jumps and, if anyone was wondering, the credentials of her competitors.That became abundantly clear earlier this summer during the IndyCar weekend in Toronto when Price made a jaw-dropping impression as the first woman to compete in the Speed Energy Stadium Super Trucks Series.Most who drive the high-flying Super Trucks for the first time are content to keep the off-road beasts from taking a bad roll. Price, in the second race of a weekend doubleheader, bolted to first on the opening lap, taking the lead when former Champ Car and IndyCar star Paul Tracy overshot a corner and plowed his truck into a tire barrier.If Price knew who Tracy was, she apparently didnt care.What I would say is, Paul Tracy knows who Sara Price is, said Bill Hynes, the team owner/driver who has given Price a full-time ride in the series.Price, who turned 24 this month, races again this weekend in the Sand Sports Super Show in Costa Mesa, California. She wound up eighth and ninth (out of 12) in her debut in Toronto and, and in her first start with UFD Racing last month on The Dirt Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway, finished a solid fifth and sixth. Each Super Trucks weekend features two races.?Price, a one-time beauty pageant contestant, said shes exactly where she wants to be.This is the coolest thing right now in off-road or anything of its sort, she said. Theyre trucks that are jumping the biggest things you can ever imagine. Getting here was in the back of my mind for a while, and sometimes I was like, Man, how am I going to make it happen? And then [sponsor] BitTorrent stepped up to get me my first race, and after my first race, Team United Fiber and Data signed me for the rest of the year and all of 2017.The daughter of an off-road racer and brother of a motocross racer, Price began racing at age 8. She started collecting motocross championships before long and became the first female factory driver for Kawasaki and an X Games medalist.When she turned to four wheels, she became a force racing UTVs (Utility Terrain Vehicles) and other off-road machines. In fact, it was at a UTV race in Costa Mesa two years ago that she caught the eye of Robby Gordon, the former longtime IndyCar and NASCAR driver and off-road champion who owns the Super Truck Series.She actually led that race and was going to win it until she had an axle break or something like that, Gordon recalled. You know, Ive been watching Sara for a while from motorcycles to the UTV side of things. I think shes one of the better female drivers weve seen in a long time.Gordon called Price after that Costa Mesa UTV race and told her he wanted her in the Super Truck series. A sponsorship deal fell through, though.He had a falling out with the company that was going to fund it, so it didnt happen right then and there, Price said. But it sparked a thing in my brain where it was like, Oh man, I really want to do this.Price found her own sponsor for the Toronto race and made her own break. She was so impressive that weekend that Paul Morris, an Australian V8 Supercar Series veteran who drives for Hynes in the Super Truck series, flew her to Australia the next week to put her through some testing.Soon after, Morris called Hynes from Down Under and said UFD Racing needed to sign her.We were about to do a deal with [accomplished veteran] P.J. Jones, and we had a decision to make, Hynes said. There were a couple of other drivers in the mix, but she, fair and square, beat them out. Shes the driver we wanted in the truck. Shes not the female driver, just the driver.Price immediately justified the showing with her poised run at Charlotte, on a course with a massive over-under jump featuring one lane of traffic flying over another. As Hynes tells it, two-time NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion Matt Crafton tried the jump one time, got out of his Super Truck and said you couldnt pay him to try it again.Hynes is quick to debunk any notion that signing Price was about publicity.You might see pink on her truck, but shes going to put a bumper on you, he said. Shes going to race you like every other racer in the series. You mess with her, she has all the tools to pay you back.Shes going to be a great teammate for me and Paul. The three of us are going to work well together, and were going to get all of us on the podium. Itll be fun for sure.

Capitals head coach Adam Oates said Ovechkin was injured in the first period against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday and clarified it was not a head injury.CLEVELAND -- The White Sox have fallen to their lowest point in six years. Unfortunately, it may not be the bottom. Jason Giambis pinch-hit homer leading off the ninth inning against Ramon Troncoso lifted the Cleveland Indians to a 3-2 win Monday night over Chicago, which dropped its fourth straight and lost for the 10th time in 13 games. A season spiraling downward reached a new level as the White Sox fell 23 games below .500 for the first time since 2007. On top of the losing, the White Sox are undergoing change. Before the game, they traded reliever Jesse Crain to Tampa for future considerations, and theres a strong chance starter Jake Peavy could be deal before Wednesdays deadline. Peavy is scheduled to start Tuesday night. "Its hard to watch," Danks said of the teams decision to dismantle. "Jesse and I have become good buddies. Jake and I have a real good relationship. Id love to keep him but I understand the business. Well see what happens. I dont follow it real close. Id love to keep him here and make a run at it, but we dont really know whats going to happen, though." Batting for Mark Reynolds, Giambi belted a 1-1 pitch from Troncoso (1-3) into the bushes beyond the fence. It was the 436th career homer and ninth career walk-off shot for the popular 42-year-old slugger, who had a bucket of ice water dumped over his head by teammates. "I might catch pneumonia," he joked. "Im a little old to be dunked with water. I love it. Ive been preaching all year one guy is not more important than another and its going to take all 25 of us, even more than that, to win ballgames and weve done it all year. Its just exciting to be a part of it." According to STATS, Giambi is the oldest player in major league history to hit a walk-off homer, surpassing Hank Aaron, who was 42 days older than Giambi when he did it in 1976. "Hes been doing that for a while," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "Hes over there for a reason." The sinking White Sox are 18 1-2 games out of first. The non-waiver trading deadline adds another layer of misery. "Youve got to be able to get through it," Ventura said. "It will be better in a couple of days because it will be over. Its stuff you have to deal with every year. Its different this year because theyre not in the who-were-going-to-get stage." The White Sox had a chance to take lead in the ninth when Dayan Viciedo tripled with two outs off Chris Perez (3-1). Howeverr, he didnt score when left fielder Michael Brantley made a sensational, running catch of Gordon Beckhams liner for the third out.dddddddddddd "Gordon hits it hard and we dont get anything out of it," Ventura lamented. "Brantley made a nice play." Giambis dramatic shot -- and postgame bath -- provided more memorable snapshots for the Indians, who are making a strong push as August approaches. Cleveland is keeping the pressure on the Tigers as well as injecting themselves into the wild-card discussion. As he rounded third, Giambi smiled when he saw his teammates awaiting his arrival at the plate. He leaped into their welcome-home party and nearly had his jersey pulled off in the celebration. "Thats what keeps you coming back," Giambi said. "Theres no moment more special than when you get that embrace from your teammates and all those smiles. Its exciting." Danks allowed just two runs and two hits in six innings, but remained winless since July 2 -- a span of five starts. "I felt like I had stuff enough to make it a little deeper in the game," he said. "Command certainly wasnt where it needed to be. I got by with some mistakes. Thats a good team over there. Its a tough lineup. Im sorry we lost this game." Danks retired 11 straight before walking the first two in the sixth when Cleveland tied it on Asdrubal Cabreras RBI groundout. "I wasnt as good as I needed to be," Danks said. "My command was lacking. It caused my pitch count to go up. It cost me a run and here we are." Blanked by starter Zach McAllister for the first five innings, the White Sox scored twice with two outs in the sixth on Adam Dunns RBI double and Paul Konerkos run-scoring single. The runs snapped Clevelands scoreless streak at 26 innings. NOTES: Danks got a no-decision and remains winless (0-5) on the road this season. ... White Sox DH Paul Konerko drove in a run in the sixth for his 76th RBI at Progressive Field, the most by a Cleveland opponent. ... Beckham is in an 0-for-20 slump. ... Ventura was traded twice during his career and appreciates the anxiety his players may be feeling. "Sometimes you hear all these rumours about guys going places and nothing ever happens," Ventura said. "Every year youre hearing names fly everywhere and they dont go anywhere. So until it actually happens thats when I believe it." ... The White Sox have scored only five runs during their four-game skid. ' ' '
