e a big deal, when you want to try to win at every track on the schedule, that would make it a big deal, Stewart said. No matter Antworten

Tony Stewart is down to his final try at Kentucky Speedway to complete a NASCAR track victory sweep.The three-time champion has won at every track on the Sprint Cup schedule, with highs of five wins at Watkins Glen and four at Daytona (though not the 500) to one win at six tracks. His latest victory, and 49th overall in the Cup series, came two weeks ago at Sonoma Raceway and snapped an 84-race drought.His skid at Kentucky isnt quite as lengthy: 0 for 5 dating to the tracks inaugural race in 2011.While Stewart has missed dozens of races the last three years because of injuries and the aftermath of a fatal accident in a sprint car race, hes never missed Kentucky -- and just one lap led and no top 10s to show for his effort.His start Saturday night will mark his 600th in Sprint Cup, good for 24th on the career list.While Kentucky doesnt sound like a big deal, when you want to try to win at every track on the schedule, that would make it a big deal, Stewart said. No matter what happens in the championship, I could say that was perfect.There is one caveat to the list -- Stewarts lone win at Darlington Raceway came in the second-tier Xfinity series. Hes never won at Darlington in 23 career Cup starts and has one more chance in the Southern 500 on Sept. 4.Jeff Gordon cant say he won at every track he ran at so, if I could win those two in the dream season, that would be awesome for us, Stewart said. Thats a second home track for me. Its closer to where I grew up than Chicago is. Ive got a lot of friends who go down to the Kentucky race, so that would be nice to win in front of them.Kentucky Speedway is about 80 miles from Stewarts home in Columbus, Indiana, and there should be a strong contingent of Hoosiers on hand this weekend to watch him go for win No. 50.Yes, the checkered flag would be a sweet accomplishment for the driver known as Smoke.But he needs another solid finish to remain in the top 30 in driver points to earn a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He holds a three-point lead over Brian Scott for 30th. Stewart, who announced last year that 2016 would be his final season as a NASCAR driver, broke his back a week before the season opened and missed the first eight races before returning for a farewell tour.He can return to race in any kind of series next season -- and got a small taste of what is potentially ahead this week at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.Stewart, a two-time Brickyard 400 winner, turned a few laps on a dirt track oval built for him at IMS to honor his short-track racing career. IMS President Doug Boles invited several dirt midget drivers to the track on Tuesday to test out the temporary track.I dont think anybody that I know of ever dreamed that wed see anything like this at IMS, Stewart said. This could be one of the coolest things thats ever happened to short track racing.Stewart received a milk jug of dirt as a souvenir from Boles.This is as close as Im going to get to drinking milk here, Stewart said.Hed come to Indy with his father as a child, dreaming of someday winning an Indianapolis 500. He once said hed trade all his wins and trophies for just one victory at his beloved IMS. But instead of chugging the traditional milk after an Indy 500 victory, Stewart settled for two wins (2005, 2007) at the Brickyard in NASCAR.Stewart has accomplished just about every available feat in NASCAR -- and a win at Kentucky would make that list of goals that much shorter.-----ITS TIME TO FACE THE MUSICXfinity driver Bubba Wallace was fined $15,000 by NASCAR on Wednesday for a critical tweet following the race at Daytona. Wallace, who had been penalized in the race for not keeping a reasonable speed under caution, was seemingly upset with how Aric Almirola was awarded the victory when the race ended under caution.Got the muppets up there officiating tonight! Never know how to react under pressure... Whatta joke, Wallace tweeted.Wallaces fans enjoyed the social media shot -- the post had been retweeted more than 600 times and liked about 1,500 times as of Wednesday afternoon.Wallace, who drives the No. 6 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing, will not appeal.-----TOWNLEY INJURYJohn Wes Townley is undergoing treatment for a possible concussion and will not race in Thursday nights NASCAR Truck Series race at Kentucky Speedway.The No. 05 Chevrolet will be driven by Parker Kligerman. Cole Custer will substitute for Townley in Saturday nights ARCA 150 at Iowa Speedway.Townley hopes to return to competition at the NASCAR Truck race at Eldora Speedway on July 20. He has not raced since he fought Spencer Gallagher during the Truck Series race at Gateway Motorsports Park. Townley was fined $15,000 by NASCAR. Josh Morrissey Jersey . Now, with Game 6 set for Fenway Park and an 8:07 p.m. ET first pitch, the Detroit Tigers face the unenviable task of having to beat the Boston Red Sox twice, on the road, to advance to the World Series. Shawn Matthias Jersey . John Tavares, Thomas Vanek and Kyle Okposo were also being counted on to slow down sizzling Rangers forward Rick Nash. That plan didnt go so well early. http://www.nhljetsauthority.com/customized/ . -- Matt Ryan needed one of the best games of his career to lead the Falcons and their depleted offence out of their three-game losing streak last week. Mark Scheifele Jersey . President of baseball operations Larry Beinfest was fired Friday after 12 years with the Marlins. The move came as the team neared the end of its third consecutive last-place season in the NL East. Logan Stanley Jersey . Speaking to the Chicago Tribune at baseballs Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Boras called the former home of the Expos a "tremendous environment" for baseball. LOS ANGELES -- Carmelo Anthony spent the U.S. Olympic basketball teams precious day off running a two-hour town hall meeting at a South Los Angeles youth center because he cant sleep anymore.With only a few spare hours Monday before jetting off to continue the Americans pre-Olympic tour, Anthony gathered basketball stars, community leaders and police officers to speak with teenagers and young adults about the importance of respect, communication and safety. Roughly 200 people came together for the meeting, and Anthony believes everyone left with something to contemplate.We really got a lot of messages out of today, Anthony said. Hopefully we can continue this dialogue, and we created something today that will continue on.Anthony shares many Americans profound disquiet with gun violence after this years series of increasingly dismaying shootings. With both the mens and womens Olympic teams in Los Angeles at the same time, the New York Knicks star recruited fellow Olympian Tamika Catchings and other like-minded athletes at the Challengers Boys and Girls Club to begin a badly needed nationwide conversation.There were some very, very powerful messages that were being talked about, Anthony said. Not just amongst us as athletes, but among the youth. The youth really spoke out today about how they feel about their community, how they feel about police officers, how they feel about relationships and how we can mend these relationships.Anthonys awakening interest in social activism was piqued after he spent a day watching news coverage of the latest shootings earlier this month. He awoke in the middle of the night and wrote a 280-word Instagram post declaring that the system is broken and calling on sports figures to lead change.The first thing that came to my mind was, I have to get my athletes, my fellow athletes, to step up and use their voice and use their platform in the best way they can, Anthony said.Two weeks ago, he took the stage at the ESPY Awards with Chris Paul, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. The four superstars decried violence and called for open conversation on racial issues.Anthoony backed up the groups words before Team USA left Los Angeles following an exhibition game on Sunday night.dddddddddddd He plans to keep finding ways to facilitate communication after this gathering led to frank discussions.Catchings recalled young adults telling police officers about the fear they feel when approached by officers with their hands on their guns. One young woman told officers: Just smile! A smile goes a long way.Definitely tension, and definitely some tears, said Catchings, the three-time Olympic gold medalist and former WNBA MVP. One young lady said that when she got off the bus and saw the (police) uniform, right off the bat, she was scared.But coming into this environment and hearing everything, she (said), `I doubted if I really wanted to be a part of it, but Im so glad I came, because now I feel like Im walking away with so much more than I thought I was going to get. When you have conversations like that and you get feedback like that, we know were going in the right direction.The community leaders invited by Anthony echoed his confidence in the importance of communication, particularly between police and young black men. Deputy Chief Bill Scott of the LAPD brought a large group of officers to join the meeting.Many of the kids in our group said, `Were thrilled to be here, said Calvin Lyons, the CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Los Angeles. `We have a higher level of respect for the officers because of what theyre sharing. There was no fear.Anthony hopes to be a three-time Olympic gold medalist at this time next month, possibly capping a remarkable international career with another title in Rio before he heads back to the Knicks. He knows his work in American communities will go on much longer than even his NBA career, but he welcomes the challenge.We know that nothing is going to happen overnight, Anthony said. But what we wanted to do was create something that we could start right now, and continue on when we leave here today.
