"I'm pretty pumped to get back to Kentucky, for obvious reasons of course," Logano said. "Kentucky has really felt like a second home to me over the last couple of years in the Nationwide Series. We've had pretty good success there."

 

Logano is one of eight Sprint Cup regulars competing in Friday night's 300- mile Nationwide race at Kentucky. Busch, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick, Kasey Kahne, Brad Keselowski, Mark Martin and David Reutimann are the others.

 

Martin has yet to compete in a NASCAR race at Kentucky.

 

"I've had a lot of fun racing for Turner Motorsports this season," he said. "We were fortunate enough to get the win at Las Vegas and have had a few really solid runs in the meantime. I'm real hopeful we can get that Dollar General car to victory lane again this weekend at Kentucky. It would be a great way to finish off my time with the team."

This will be the first truck race held on a Thursday in a decade. The series ran on that day twice each season from 1995-2001.

 

Sauter's late-race mishap helped Hornaday pick up the win at Texas. Sauter held the lead for the final restart, but NASCAR penalized him after he switched from the outside lane to the inside in an attempt to block second- place runner Hornaday before they crossed the start/finish line.

 

While Hornaday claimed his series-record-extending 48th win, including three at Texas, Sauter wound up finishing 22nd.

 

"Kentucky is a really fast racetrack and has really unique characteristics with the bumps," Hornaday said. "I've got two wins at the track and will definitely be going for my third. The fans have always been so great and supportive at this track, and with all three series there this weekend, they will really have a great experience."

FOOTBALL BETTING : Cassel Signs Contract

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.

NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
