LONG POND, Pa. - Matt Kenseth was NASCARs biggest winner in 2013, a dominant run that thrust him into contention for his second championship. He came up just short. Seven wins, no title. Small consolation. Kenseths first year with Joe Gibbs Racing was a smashing success except for winning a championship to bookend with the one he has from 2003. Kenseth found the hard way that wins are nice, but winning it all matters more. Headed into Sundays race at Pocono Raceway, Kenseth is atop the points standings but the only driver in the top nine without at least one checkered flag. NASCAR revamped the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship format this year to add great significance to winning a race in the first 26 before the cutoff. Kenseth would be a lock for the field with a victory. Without one, Kenseth might have to hope he keeps his points lead: The regular-season leader earns a spot even with a winless season. Kenseth has won 13 races the last three years and it seems inevitable hell find his way in Victory Lane soon enough. He has never won at Pocono, but has two career wins at next weeks track (Michigan) and hes won three times at Bristol (Aug. 23). Hed surrender the lead for taking the No. 20 Toyota for a spin in Victory Lane soon. "Youd rather have a win at this time of year than be the points leader," he said. "Its definitely different. We knew it was a radical change, but youre sitting here because youre the points leader but you open up the paper and they dont have you in the top-10. Its a little bit confusing at times. So yeah, hopefully we can get a win." Kenseth joins the rest of the field in trying to race his way past Jimmie Johnson. The six-time champion is coming off back-to-back victories in the Coca-Cola 600 and at Dover International Speedway and will try to win three straight for the first time since 2007. Steady as always, Kenseth has been in the hunt for several wins. He just cant find that one edge that will get him one. He has five top-five finishes and 10 top-10s in 13 races for a 9.2 average finish. Hes finished third in each of the last two races. "People always ask about changing your strategies or trying harder or doing this or doing that, but if it was that easy, youd win every week," he said "Ive never not wanted to win. If there was a way to force wins, Id force it every week." With half the season left before the Chase field is set, Kenseth isnt worried too much about his winless season. Former champion Tony Stewart also is winless. So are Kasey Kahne, Clint Bowyer and Ryan Newman, on the outside of the Chase and in a lot worse shape. "I think there has been a touch of bad luck and then we just havent put together full races," Kahne said. "Weve had great practices over the last month, maybe a little more than that. Weve been really good in practice; great at times during the race, but we havent put together the full race." Kenseth isnt quite sure why the No. 20 has yet to come close to matching last seasons success. "If we knew exactly that, it would be a lot easier to fix," he said. "Theres been times you get pretty good car balance, but you havent had the speed. You always try to look over everything and look over how you get your vehicles setup better, how you can get your aero setup better, how you can get your engines better." Dave Schultz Jersey .

Ron Hextall Jersey . -- Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Sidney Rice tweeted an apparent goodbye after a report about his pending release.CALGARY - Christine Nesbitt hasnt laced up her speed skates since the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, and isnt sure when she will again.The former Olympic champion in the 1,000 metres isnt retiring, but shes delayed the start of her season. Nesbitt might not race at all this winter.The 29-year-old from London, Ont., is rehabilitating her left leg which essentially gave out on her in the months leading up to the Winter Games in February.Nesbitt captured Olympic gold in the 1,000 metres in 2010 and set a world record in the distance two years later. Shes won the 1,000 at the world single-distance championship three times.A consistent podium finisher in World Cups, Nesbitts performance suddenly went sideways in the months leading into Sochi where she finished ninth in the 1,000.I have no idea when Ill be back skating, Nesbitt told The Canadian Press on Thursday. It could be this season. The plan is to come back, but it just depends on how my body heals.Last year, I pushed myself far beyond what I should have, but it was an Olympic season. I still view it this way. I had no option. I couldnt take the year off.She believes the years of skating counter clockwise around ovals and leaning into her left leg simply took their toll at the worst possible time.Were still not really able to pinpoint what it was, Nesbitt said. We do think it was an overuse injury, so many years of being in that skating position and pushing my body really hard.When you lose strength and co-ordination in that leg, when youre turning left, you have so much more pressure on it than you do on your right leg in a crossover. Thats why I was losing my balance in races.I just wore out some parts of my body and they just were never given enough time to regenerate and heal and for the complementary muscles and tendons to get stronger and support the speedskating muscles.The 11-member Canadian long-track team announced Thursday by Speedskating Canada was smaller in number than in previous years, although 20 athletes were named to the national development team.After producing a combined 13 medals in the 2006 and 2010 Winter Olympics, Canadas long-track team won two in Sochi. Denny Morrison of Fort St. John, B.C., won silver in the 1,000 and bronze in the 1,500.Nesbitt was among four women named to the team alongside Ottawas Ivaanie Blondin, Reginas Kali Christ and Calgarys Kaylin Irvine.ddddddddddddorrison, Calgarys Gilmore Junio, Winnipegs Tyler Derraugh, Laurent Dubreuil of Levis-Saint-Etienne-de-Lauzon, Que., Reginas William Dutton, Jamie Gregg of Edmonton and Alexandre St-Jean of Quebec City make up the mens squad.Two-time Olympian Anastasia Bucsis of Calgary is taking the year off. Winnipegs Cindy Klassen, winner of five medals in 2006, did not compete last season because of concussion symptoms and will also not race this winter.Trials for Canadas World Cup teams will be Oct. 23-26 in at the Olympic Oval in Calgary, which is also the site of the 2015 world all-around championships March 7-8.Nesbitt says its possible she could be back racing in December. Shes prepared to hang up her skates for the winter if thats what it takes to return to racing and be ready for the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeonchang, South Korea.This is the least important year in a four-year cycle, so I need to make sure I can get my body healthy so I have three excellent years of training leading up to the following Olympics, and being healthy for those Olympics, she said.Nesbitt stayed away from speedskating training over the summer. To strengthen parts of her body, Nesbitt spent the summer rowing, swimming and doing sports that I either really suck at or I havent really done in a long time.Im a terrible swimmer, she continued. I sink like a rock and Im scared of putting my face in the water. Im just thrashing around, but its a good challenge mentally as well as physically.Speedskating is a really imbalanced sport. Were bottom-heavy and we only turn left. We have a huge amount of asymmetry. A huge part of getting healthy is re-balancing, getting more upper-body strength, getting more symmetry from my left side to my ride side and doing sports that open up my chest instead of crouch me over.Nesbitt is studying geography at the University of Calgary and meets regularly with her medical and sport science team for treatment and assessment.The last six weeks Ive seen a huge improvement in my body, Nesbitt said. Thats exciting, but Ive had moments this summer when Ive felt really good and pushed it for a week and it has set me back.Ive had to learn to be patient with my body, which is not something Im usually very good with.
