Denny Hamlin survives rain delay, overtime finish to win for 2nd straight year at Dover
DOVER, Del. (AP) — Denny Hamlin went back-to-back at Dover Motor Speedway, holding a late lead through a rain delay and an overtime finish Sunday for the Joe Gibbs Racing driver's series-best fourth victory of the season. Hamlin won in the No. 11 Toyota for the second straight time at Dover to add to wins this season at Martinsville, Darlington and Michigan. Hamlin has 58 NASCAR Cup Series victories, leaving him, two short of Kevin Harvick for 10th on the career list. The 44-year-old Virginia driver might hit that mark this season as he chases his first career Cup championship. 'Winning here at Dover is super special to me,' Hamlin said. 'This is a place that I've not been very good at the first half of my career. To go back-to-back here the last two years is amazing.' Hamlin took the checkered flag days after he suffered a setback in court with his own 23XI Racing team's federal antitrust suit against NASCAR. On Thursday, a federal judge rejected a request from 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports to continue racing with charters while they battle NASCAR in court, meaning their six cars will race as open entries this weekend at Dover, next week at Indianapolis and perhaps longer than that in a move the teams say would put them at risk of going out of business. Hamlin vowed this weekend 'all will be exposed' if the case goes to its scheduled Dec. 1 trial date. The courtroom drama hasn't affected Hamlin's performance on the track. Hamlin held off JGR teammate Chase Briscoe for the victory. Hendrick Motorsports drivers took the next two spots, with Alex Bowman third and Kyle Larson fourth. Hamlin held off Kyle Larson down the stretch last season to earn the second of his three career wins at the Monster Mile. The first July Cup race at Dover since 1969 started with steamy weather and drivers battled the conditions inside the car during a relatively clean race until rain fell late and red-flagged the race with 14 laps left. Hamlin said the during the break he planned to change his firesuit — temperatures inside the car soared to 140 degrees. He also returned to the car after the 56-minute delay with old tires. Hamlin had enough to win at Dover and park the Toyota in victory lane. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. 'We've got a lot left,' Hamlin said. Up next It's off to Indianapolis Motor Speedway where Kyle Larson won last season on the oval after a four-year break on the road course. ___ AP auto racing:

SIMMONS SAYS: Blue Jays' LaMacchia hit a home run with Clancy
When the Blue Jays hired scout Al LaMacchia, one year before the team played its very first game, they didn't realize what a bonus it was that he happened to live in San Antonio, Texas. And it was during the expansion draft of 1976 that LaMacchia highly recommended a 20-year-old Texas League pitcher with a 6.77 earned run average for the San Antonio Brewers. The pitcher's name: Jim Clancy. 'If it wasn't for Al, I don't think we pick Clancy,' Pat Gillick said on the phone the other day. 'Al lived in San Antonio and he got a chance to see Clancy a lot. He really liked what he saw. He believed in him.' This doesn't happen often from any expansion draft in any sport: Clancy, chosen in the third round of the two-team draft, went on to pitch 12 seasons for the Blue Jays. He started 345 games in all, completed 73 of them, threw 2,204 innings as a stalwart of those early Jays teams. By today's standards of babying pitchers, those numbers are simply astounding. Roy Halladay went on to pitch 12 seasons for the Jays, as well, as a first-round draft pick, throwing fewer innings than Clancy, completing fewer games, making fewer starts. Halladay went on to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame for Clancy is found in the hearts of those who fell in love with the Blue Jays and baseball when they first began in Toronto. Those original players — Ernie Whitt, Otto Velez, Alvis Woods, Doug Ault, Jerry Garvin, all of them from the expansion draft — they're not just a part of history, they're a part of us. They were around when we were just learning the game, grasping it, experiencing it for the first time live, being so much a part of the early years of Major League Baseball in Toronto. The super-sleuth LaMacchia, who played more-than-important roles in the scouting of George Bell, Cito Gaston, Dave Stieb and David Wells with the Jays, went on to become vice-president of the club. He was in that position when the Jays won their World Series in 1992 and 1993. LaMacchia passed away in 2010. The kid with the guitar from San Antonio, Clancy, passed away at the age of 69 earlier this week. 'They both did great jobs for us,' said the legendary Gillick, who knew a little something about doing just that. THIS AND THAT This didn't have to be complicated — the return of Mitch Marner to Toronto for a game against the Maple Leafs. But the NHL made it that way. The game is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 23. It should have been played on a Hockey Night In Canada Saturday. And because Vegas plays the previous night in Boston, the Golden Knights won't skate at Scotiabank Arena on Friday morning, which means there will be no Marner game-day interviews. The NHL is in the entertainment business. There are only a handful of games to be concerned about schedule-wise when a new season is beginning. You don't take a big story and make it small, even accidentally. The Marner Leafs-Vegas scheduling is a failure by the NHL … The Leafs could have a third line this season with 6-foot-4 Nic Roy playing alongside 6-foot-3 Dakota Joshua and 6-foot-2 Bobby McMann. Average weight of the line: 210. That's a Craig Berube-Brad Treliving kind of line, if it ends up that way. The other inspiring part of the trio is that all three are capable of moving up in the lineup if need be … In their best playoff seasons, Joshua scored four goals for Vancouver while Roy had four for Vegas. In the past six playoff seasons, Marner scored eight goals in total, more than two just once. He's listed as six-feet tall and 180 pounds but wouldn't measure quite that … A young hockey writer asked me to compare Marner's time with the Leafs to the career of Mats Sundin. At first, I laughed at the question. But Marner did score at a 92-point pace in his time with the Leafs, 10 more points than Sundin. Here's the major difference though between the two: Sundin was 6-foot-5, 230 pounds, and he never had an Auston Matthews or a John Tavares on his line. Where Sundin shone brightest was on the world stage. He was the dominant player in the 2002 Winter Olympics, then he dominated again in 2006 when Sweden won gold at Turino. When it was best-on-best, he was at or near the top. Marner has yet to demonstrate that kind of presence when lights are the brightest. Until he does, he will rank well behind Sundin as an all-time player … The new Leafs winger, Joshua, has been a pro hockey player for six years. He's had one impactful season in Vancouver. The Leafs are gambling that there is more of that in the 29-year-old winger from Michigan … Coach Rod Brind'Amour is the 55th leading scorer in NHL history with 1,184 points. The next 10 scorers who directly follow him on the list: Sergei Fedorov, Bobby Hull, Daniel Alfredsson, Michel Goulet, Nick Lidstrom, Marian Hossa, Bernie Federko, Mike Bossy, Joe Nieuwendyk and Darryl Sittler are all in the Hall of Fame, many of the them being first ballot no-brainers. Brind'Amour, the player, remains on the outside looking in. HEAR AND THERE Barring collapse, the Blue Jays will make the playoffs in the American League, which is a tribute to the kind of season they're having, but also an analysis of how weak the American League and the AL East happen to be. The Yankees, with a thin roster, are a fundamental mess. The Red Sox are winning and looking like trade sellers at the deadline. Tampa Bay had a moment in time and Baltimore is too far back to matter … The emergence of Addison Barger means the need for the Jays to pick up a bat at the deadline is not as absolutely necessary as it might have been. If somehow Anthony Santander can come back from injury and contribute something that gives the Jays a batting order that includes George Springer, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, Barger, Alejandro Kirk and possibly Daulton Varsho, plus Santander, that's the strongest everyday lineup in the AL East … The Jays could use another closer and a front-end starter, neither of which will come cheap. They have a difficulty with trading. They don't have a roster player they can afford to give up who has much trade value. And they don't have a deep pool of prospects that would enable them to nab what they need come playoff time. I'd like to see the Jays go back to their friends in Cleveland and come away with closer Emmanuel Clase … The starter who might fit the Jays best: Mitch Keller in Pittsburgh … The real challenge for the Jays: Finding a pitcher better than Kevin Gausman, Jose Berrios or Chris Bassitt, which might be impossible … If I owned the Pittsburgh Pirates, I'd be in buying mode. If I had Paul Skenes pitching and the monster Oneil Cruz hitting, I'd want to build around power hitting and power pitching for as long as they're around … What's the best Jays outfield ever? Lloyd Moseby between Jesse Barfield and George Bell or Devon White in centre with Joe Carter in right, Rickey Henderson or Candy Maldonado in left … The group trying to get Stieb a second look at the Baseball Hall of Fame have at least one thing they can't do anything about: Stieb pitched fewer innings — in some cases significantly fewer — than Tommy John, Luis Tiant, Orel Hershiser, Curt Schilling and Fernando Valenzuela — all of whom have Hall of Fame-like numbers. Stieb pitched 2,895 major-league innings. John pitched 4,710 with a lower career earned run average. SCENE AND HEARD I was really hoping that Shawn Lemon, soon eligible to play again in the CFL after his suspension for gambling, would sign with Hamilton or Winnipeg. Lemon has already played for Edmonton, Calgary, B.C., Toronto, Ottawa, Saskatchewan and Montreal. If he winds up with Hamilton and eventually Winnipeg, I believe that would make him the first player in CFL history to play for all nine teams. Sadly, for me anyhow, Lemon signed on in Montreal … What happened to the $9-million offer sheets Sabres defenceman Bowen Byram was supposed to get? He wound up re-signing in Buffalo for just more than $6 million. Put me down on the short list of those who can see the Sabres challenging for a playoff spot in the East next season after 14 straight seasons of missing out … I must be the wrong age to appreciate Pat McAfee screaming WWE-like introductions for batters in the Home Run Derby, but it sure didn't sound like baseball to me … The Gillick credo used to be: Believe nothing you see in spring training and September. That reminds me of the NBA Summer League, which tells you more about who can't play than who can. Very early, the Raptors' first-round pick, Collin Murray-Boyles, looks like he can play a little … And every time I see his name, I think of the comedy actor Brian Doyle-Murray, brother of Bill Murray … The best part of baseball's all-star game: The Hank Aaron tribute … My television squawks of late: How do they put on the ESPY Awards, and do the memorial section on who passed away in the past year, and forget (or choose not) to font the names of the photos of those who died. It was easy to recognize Henderson or Pete Rose. Not so easy for most of the others …. The bad on TV: How is it possible that Sportsnet ran a tribute to Clancy on television and ran a photo of the late Mike Flanagan instead? How do you get the wrong guy on a 12-year Blue Jay? The good: Sportsnet was quick on the apology. AND ANOTHER THING If I'm Sportsnet, the rest of my summer would be spent trying to hire Bryan Hayes as the next host of Hockey Night in Canada . And if you can get his teammates from Overdrive, well, I'd do that, too … If you love football in any way at all, you have to love the Luke Willson instructional video following CFL games … Without quarterbacking, Calgary Stampeders won just five games last season. With Vernon Adams Jr., under centre this year, the Stamps are 5-1, with two wins over Winnipeg. Dave Dickenson is a much smarter coach when he has a quarterback almost as good as Dave Dickenson … Football has been very good to the Watt brothers of Pewaukee, Wisc.: T.J. Watt just signed for $123 million in Pittsburgh to add to the $121 million he's already made. Older brother J.J. Watt made $129 million in his brilliant NFL career. So when they go for lunch, who pays? … I've watched all four seasons of the excellent television series, The Bear. I still don't understand how the Emmy Awards categorize this as a comedy. It's a well-scripted, well-acted program. But funny, it isn't … If you remove the statistics from Vladdy's 2021 season — played in mostly minor-league ballparks, with 48 home runs — he is basically averaging 26 homers per year. He had 12 as of Saturday afternoon. Finishing with 26 is not out of the question …. This is the Blue Jays season in a nutshell. They won 4-0 Friday night against the Giants. The runs were knocked in by Will Wagner (2), Joey Loperfido and Nathan Lukes … Carl Yastrzemski, baseball's Triple Crown winner in 1967, a three-time batting champion and four-time OPS leader, retired after the 1983 major-league season. Seven years later, his grandson, Mike Yastrzemski, was born. Mike has spent the past six years with the San Francisco Giants … If you didn't love Scottie Scheffler before he won all his tournaments or dominated The Open as he has done the past three days, you had to embrace him for his honest and personal words about family meaning more than tournament victories. Few have so eloquently balanced the thoughts between winning and succeeding and doing what matters most to any of us. I've heard similar refrains from coaches over the years who talk about how fleeting winning is — and how losses, as difficult as they may be, gnaw away at you forever … Happy birthday to Ilie Nastase (79), Peter Forsberg (52), Pavel Datsyuk (47), Terry Murray (75), Ray Allen (50), Dwight Powell (34), Tony Oliva (87), Stephen Strasburg (37), Ian Beckles (58) and Zack Werenski (28) … And, hey, whatever became of Rob Niedermayer?

‘Really exciting': Regina baton twirlers set to represent Canada at competition in Italy
WATCH: Thirteen baton twirlers from Regina will represent Canada at the World Baton Twirling Championships in Italy. Jacob Carr has the story. Thirteen baton twirlers from the ages of 12 through 18 and over are gearing up to face off against the best in Torino, Italy. The athletes are a combination of twirlers from the Sundown Optimist Baton Group and Phoenix Baton Club. They will compete in both the Nations Cup and World Baton Twirling Championship in Italy, which will get underway on Aug. 2. Former twirler and Team Canada coach Nancy Lightheart says the athletes representing Saskatchewan make up around 25 per cent of the Canadian representatives. 'That's really exciting for Saskatchewan, and for a province our size to have such a large contingent. We're obviously very proud of our athletes. They work tremendously long hours and it's hard to get to this level of training,' she said. For some on the team like Gabriella Buchko, this won't be their first time representing Team Canada at Baton Twirling. Buchko recently took part in a Pan Pacific competition. At just twelve years of age, she is now somewhat of a veteran, but that doesn't make the mental aspect of a twirling routine any easier. 'When you're tossing the baton, you just have to keep doing repetition over and over to have muscle memory where your brain can finally be like, 'Okay I need to think of the corrections now, but I know how to do this trick,'' she explained. For Malia Briere, also twelve years of age, Italy will be her first time donning the Maple Leaf. It's an experience she says will be an incredible learning opportunity. 'I feel like it will kind of be like, 'Oh wow, they can do this trick, and I might want to try this trick next year or in a couple years,'' she said. Briere also said she is looking forward to visiting some historical buildings in Italy and touring Rome with her family. Both Briere and Buchko agree that a bonus to competing in Torino will be experiencing the Italian cuisine. For Buchko, it's also an opportunity to form new friendships. 'It'll be so exciting to meet many new people since everyone is so kind and so tight together. I know that I'm really good friends with a lot of people from across Canada, so it will be good to make new friendships internationally too,' she said. When asked who the fiercest competition should be in the field, Lightheart mentioned Team Japan as the gold standard in the sport. 'The Japanese are always the highlight. Anytime we go to international events they are sort of the pinnacle,' she said. They're the team that people aspire to twirl like. So, yeah, it's always exciting to go watch them for sure.'
