| Hamlin Edges Busch For Darlington Nationwide Win Posted: 08 May 2010 04:35 AM PDT Edward Lewis – AHN Sports Reporter Darlington, SC, United States (AHN) – Kyle Busch has been the man with the hot hand in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, but Friday night it was Denny Hamlin who raced to his third consecutive Nationwide victory at Darlington Raceway. Hamlin, who started from the pole and led most of the race, pulled away from Busch with five laps left to win the Royal Purple 200. “I think we were a little bit better than the 20 (Hamlin) was, but it showed how pivotal clean air is out here,” Busch said. Busch settled for runner-up honors and was followed by Jamie McMurray, who had showed marked improvement in the No. 88 of JR Motorsports since taking the ride over from Kelly Bires. Kasey Kahne was fourth and followed across the finish line by Jason Leffler, Carl Edwards and series points leader Brad Keselowski. Kevin Harvick, Brian Vickers and Paul Menard rounded out the top 10. "This is a place that I've run at and never got a top 10, so I'm pretty pumped right now. The guys that we're racing in points, the 18 and 33, were in front and behind us, so the points didn't change much tonight. I'll just chalk it up to a decent night,” said Keselowski. “We probably could have gotten a third-place finish out of the race if we didn't pit and take four tires. We made the move that we thought was our best shot to win the race and in the end, all those cautions just killed us." Hamlin hadn’t competed at Darlington in the Nationwide race over the last two seasons, but won there in both 2006 and 2007. Friday’s night’s triumph was the 10th career Nationwide win for Hamlin and the first for crew chief Kevin Kidd. Hamlin led 111 of 147 laps in a race that saw nine caution periods — one short of Darlington’s Nationwide record. Copyright © 2003 – 2010 AHN – All rights reserved. |
| Pak vs NZ ICC T20 Live Score: Pakistan and New Zealand try to Avoid Elimination Posted: 08 May 2010 02:23 AM PDT
 Pakistan vs New Zealand New Zealand and Pakistan will have to sweat it out heavily if they have to sustain the chances of survival in the ICC T20 World Cup in West Indies. Both have lost their respective first matches in the super eight, and this clash would be a do or die game for the teams. New Zealand and Pakistan were defeated by South Africa and England respectively in their previous matches. New Zealand, after a convincing show in the first round, went down for 13 runs against the Proteas. The defending champions on the other hand holds just two win against Bangladesh to their credit, and were thrashed by England by a margin of six wickets. Both the teams are trying hard to clear the defects and sail to the next level of the tournament. Pakistan is considered to possess the capacity for surprises, if the fielding errors are fixed and batting lineup is up to the mark. Daniel Vettori is hoping to leave behind the defeat and focus on the bowling problem that facilitated their loss against South Africa. The New Zealand vs Pakistan is expected to deliver some memorable performances from players like Brendon McCullum and Umar Akmal. |
