LONG POND, Pa.
Billings-Bengals-Jersey/">Andrew Billings Jersey . -
- Dale Earnhardt Jr. is having a blast again, with a
shared bond with his crew, comfort in his own skin as
NASCARs most popular driver, even finding fun 140
characters at a time on Twitter. Winning races sure has a
way of easing burdens on Junior. Earnhardt turned Brad
Keselowskis trash into Victory Lane treasure, pulling
away down the stretch Sunday at Pocono Raceway for his
second win of the season and a secured spot in the Chase
field. He paired his first career win at Pocono with his
Daytona 500 championship for his first multi-win season
since 2004. "I feel like Im such a lucky guy to have this
second opportunity again to be competitive," Earnhardt
said. But for as strong as he ran in the No. 88
Chevrolet, Keselowski gift-wrapped this win when he
yielded the lead with five laps left in a desperate
attempt to clear debris from his grille and cool his
overheated engine. Keselowskis gamble backfired -- he
couldnt get the draft needed from the lapped traffic to
clear his car and make one final pass for the win on
Earnhardt. Keselowskis No. 2 Ford still had the oomph in
the engine needed to finish the race, and he had his
second-straight runner-up finish. "It was definitely a
mistake because the engine made it," Keselowski said,
rubbing his face. "It probably shouldnt have." Junior
shook off the rising red gauges in the No. 88 that could
have had his car meet a similar fate as Keselowski. "They
were still within good reason to stand on it and give it
hell," he said. Kurt Busch, Denny Hamlin and rookie Kyle
Larson completed the top five. Earnhardt gave Hendrick
Motorsports three straight wins, following back-to-back
victories by Jimmie Johnson. Johnson overcame a pit road
accident to finish sixth. Owner Rick Hendrick texted
Earnhardt before the race to let him know he would not
attend and would see him next week at Michigan. Earnhardt
told him, "Ill drink one for you after its over."
Earnhardt stuck to his end of the deal, spraying all
types of beverages in a jubilant Victory Lane. Johnson
was the first driver over to congratulate him. I dont
have much to do tomorrow," Earnhardt said, grinning.
"Tonights going to be a long one." Earnhardt, long
NASCARs most popular driver, gave the Pocono crowd plenty
of reason to go wild. He was mobbed by almost 100 fans
outside the Pocono media centre, screaming his name and
clamouring for a picture with the winner. He waved and
ducked into a waiting car, whisked away for another
party. Maybe the fans should try tweeting at him to earn
his attention. A reluctant participant on Twitter for
years, Earnhardt warmed fast to the social media site
after winning Daytona. He said he underestimated the
amount of fun hed have interacting with fans. He loved
the "go get ems" that dot his feed, though its the
"haters" that he really feeds off. "The real short ones,
like, You suck, those are the best ones," he said,
smiling. "I just favourite them and block them. Its so
much fun." Earnhardts second win means he is guaranteed
to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field.
He won for the 29th time in 519 career Sprint Cup starts.
"When we won at Daytona, man, it made the rest of the
year a lot more relaxing, a lot easier," he said. "It
makes it fun because you can just go to the track and
just race, not worry about points." Juniors breakthrough
was more meaningful because has come in crew chief Steve
Letartes final season. Letarte, who had a Pocono win with
Jeff Gordon, has become one of Earnhardts best friends.
That tightness off the track just may have sparked the
wins on the track. "Maybe thats why him and I are such
good friends, because I might be the only one in the
world that doesnt wonder what its like to be Dale
Junior," Letarte said. "Hes a normal guy, hes a great
guy, hes a great talent. I dont have any idea what its
like to be him." Earnhardt led three Hendrick drivers in
the top 10; Gordon finished eighth. Johnsons bid for a
third straight victory was derailed when he connected on
pit road with Marcos Ambrose. Coming off wins in the
Coca-Cola 600 and at Dover, Johnson was fifth when he
pitted under yellow. Johnson hit Ambrose and spun 180-
degrees, which forced him to back into his stall for more
repairs. He needed two tires, had right-front damage and
dropped to 29th on the restart. Busch posted his first
top 10 since his win at Martinsville nine races ago. He
salvaged a rough day for his team that saw fellow
Stewart-Haas Racing drivers Tony Stewart and Kevin
Harvick drop from contention with various issues. Stewart
held the lead and was in great position late to win until
he was busted for speeding on pit road and was dropped to
31st. Harvick was running second when had tire trouble.
Stewart finished 13th, Harvick 14th, and SHRs Danica
Patrick was 37th after she smacked the wall with 22 laps
left. All those mishaps -- and one loose wrapper -- all
made it a race to remember for Earnhardt. "A year or two
ago, we werent running to seize the opportunity,"
Earnhardt said, "and now we are."
Bengals-Jersey/">Joe Mixon Jersey .I get texts: Do
you know Drake? Have you met Drake? He sits there every
night, he hears me cuss out the referees every night,
Casey said, laughing.

However, Arsene Wenger has repeatedly told anyone willing
to listen that finishing in that spot is more important
than winning a cup competition.BROOKLYN - If you
subscribe to the concept of momentum, theres reason to be
concerned about the Raptors chances going into Sundays
series deciding Game 7. The shift began amid Wednesdays
fourth-quarter meltdown, a 44-point browbeating, and
carried over to Fridays Game 6. Facing elimination on
their home court, a desperate Nets team jumped out to a
34-19 lead after 12 minutes and the Raptors - dazed and
confused - never recovered, trailing for the duration. So
how crucial is momentum at this time of year? "If you
look at the series, the way its gone, its been like a
roller coaster the whole time," Dwane Casey said
following his teams 97-83 loss in Brooklyn, forcing a
Game 7 on Sunday afternoon, tipping off at 1:00 PM from
the Air Canada Centre. "Every game has been different."
And that was the extent of Caseys post-game assembly.
Questions about momentum, clearly favouring their surging
opponents. Questions regarding experience, also favouring
the veteran Nets. The Raptors were being written off
before departing Brooklyn. "To listen to some of this, we
may as well not play Game 7," said an agitated Casey.
"Every game is different and I know our team will bounce
back." For a brief, fleeting moment, Caseys team played
the unfamiliar role of favourites, up 3-2 in the series,
and it wasnt a good look for them. From the moment Rudy
Gay was traded theyve fancied themselves underdogs. Its
what brought them together, its what motivates them.
Without that built-in adversity, they were
unrecognizable. The Nets opened the game with the fight
you would expect from a team on the ropes and for
whatever reason, Toronto was unable to match it. The
Raptors were flat offensively and showed little-to-no
resistance on defence. Brooklyn outscored the Raptors 22-
4 in the paint, out-rebounded them 14-4 and shot an
impressive 68 per cent from the field. They moved the
ball, got in the lane at will and controlled the tempo of
the game from the jump, while the Raptors could barely
get into their offensive sets. "It just comes down to who
wants it more," DeMar DeRozan had said the day prior. On
Friday it was all Brooklyn. "We didnt really realize we
had Brooklyn against the wall and we didnt take advantage
of it like we should," said DeRozan after leading the
team with 28 points, no one else scored more than Kyle
Lowrys 11. "We should have known they were going to come
out throwing haymakers and we werent ready for it until
the second half." "We just didnt come out with the
competitive nature that we needed tonight," Lowry added.
"They did an unbelievable job of forcing their will on
the game tonight, but we have to find a way to match that
intensity." In taking control of the series, Toronto had
finally dodged the dreaded inexperience narrative that
theyve been trying to shake since they drew the Nets but
hhere it is, rearing its head once again.
Willis-Bengals-Jersey/">Jordan Willis Jersey. This
was a scenario Casey had considered, one he feared. "I
was concerned about what would happen tonight," the
Raptors coach admitted. "[In] any Game 6, a team is going
to come out with a desperate mindset. With this team,
they built to win a championship this year, and theyre
going to come out and give you their best shot. knew
that coming in and tried to warn our team. Guys who
havent been in Game 6 before, its one of the toughest
things to do." "Again, experience is the best teacher.
Now were going into Game 7, its our first time at that.
Luckily we have it at home." Yes, they will play Sundays
elimination game in the friendly confines of their home
gym, in front of a fan base that has been exceptionally
supportive throughout their playoff run. That may be the
only tangible reason to like their odds. As a franchise,
the Raptors have only participated in one Game 7, the
infamous day of Vince Carters graduation and missed
fadeaway back in 2001. They have never hosted a deciding
playoff game at the Air Canada Centre. With Portlands win
over Houston, the Raptors now have the NBAs longest
active streak without a playoff series victory. None of
Torontos starters have played in a Game 7 while Paul
Pierce alone has appeared in eight, Kevin Garnett in six
and Joe Johnson in four. And then theres the momentum, if
you believe in such things. The Raptors say they dont buy
into momentum. The Nets, however, are counting on it. "I
think we just need to take this momentum from this game
into the next," said Nets forward Andray Blatche, who
guaranteed a victory on Wednesday and did the same for
Game 7. "I think our momentum will carry over. I think we
found a recipe in getting a win on defence and offence
and controlling the paint." So here they are. After all
this time - two weeks, six games, broken shot clocks, a
lint-free global ambassador and an F-bomb dropping
general manager - the division-winning Toronto Raptors
are right back where they started. Theyre a young,
inexperienced team in over their heads, right? Maybe. But
if nothing else, theyre back in their comfort zone.
Theyre going to be overlooked, theyre going to be the
underdogs. So, count them out at your own risk. "We
believe in ourselves," Patrick Patterson insisted.
"Everyone in this locker room believes in ourselves. Weve
believed in ourselves all year long. For us to have any
doubt in our minds right now is unacceptable. Its not
like we cant beat them. Weve beat them before. Weve done
it in the regular season [and] weve done it in the
playoffs." "Now we know its win or go home," DeRozan
said. "Everything is on the line now. Either we step up
and we play with a force from the jump ball to the end of
the game, or well be going home the next day."
