CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Hendrick Motorsports has locked down the driver and sponsor of its No. 5 car with an extension of Great Clips for driver Kasey Kahne.The two-year agreement covers the 2017 and 2018 seasons and gives Kahne 10 races of sponsorship each year. Great Clips, which has been with Hendrick Motorsports since 2012, also will be a major associate sponsor of the No. 5 team each year.Kasey has been a member of the Great Clips family for over 13 years and is a great ambassador of our brand, said Terri Miller, senior vice president of marketing and communications for Great Clips.Kahne has been with Hendrick since 2012 and has five wins and three berths in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He has not made the Chase the last two years, and is currently 17th in the standings. There had been speculation that Hendrick would replace him in the No. 5, but his contract and sponsorship keeps him with the organization at least through 2018.Great Clips has believed in me throughout my career, Kahne said. Theyre a big part of the No. 5 team, and we feel like members of their team, too.---SADLER BACK IN THE CHASETwelve years after participating in his first Chase for the championship, Elliott Sadler is back in the field.This time, though, its the inaugural Chase in the Xfinity Series.Sadler is one of the 12 drivers competing in the Chase for NASCARs second-tier series title. In 2004, he was among the 10-driver field that made the original Chase. He finished ninth in the standings that season.I dont know if thats good or bad, Sadler said, unsure if it gives him any sort of edge over 11 drivers who have no playoff experience.Its not like Im a seasoned quarterback that can read the defense better than a rookie quarterback coming in. I think thats when experience plays a part, he said. I think now its just about which teams can get their cars the fastest, what driver can get the best information and not make mistakes on the track. I feel like everybody thats a part of this Chase, all 12 guys, can do just as good a job as anybody else, no matter their age or where theyre from or how many years theyve raced.---PAGENAUD-PETIT LE MANSFresh off his IndyCar championship, Simon Pagenaud has already lined up another race.Pagenaud will join Action Express Racings points-leading No. 31 Corvette at Petit Le Mans on Oct. 1.

Darrell Green Womens Jersey . There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. Joe Theismann Jersey .Y. -- Knicks coach Mike Woodson said Wednesday that J.FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Sheldon Richardson thinks its pretty easy to point out whats wrong with the New York Jets.And the solutions, the big defensive lineman says, are just as simple.Yeah, turnovers, score, things of that nature, Richardson said Friday.A quarterback switch from Ryan Fitzpatrick to Geno Smith was the focus this week for an offense that has struggled mightily with a league-low 15.8 points per game.But the Jets also are ranked 23rd in overall defense, an alarmingly low spot for a team coached by the defensive-minded Todd Bowles, whose squad finished fourth overall last season.New York has allowed 27.3 points per game, which ranks 25th in the NFL, and the passing defense is 28th.Weve got to execute, Richardson said. We cant blame everything on play-calling. Its mainly us, so weve got to make sure we execute.The biggest culprit might be the four measly takeaways: two interceptions by Marcus Williams, a fumble recovery by Richardson and Kansas City running back Spencer Ware losing control of the football and his fumble bouncing into the end zone and out of bounds.Thats it. Tied for 31st in the league, one more than the Giants.Weve got to get our hands on more balls, whether its tipped passes, turnovers or anything, Bowles said. Last year, we got a bunch of turnovers. This year, we havent gotten them yet.New York had five alone in the first game of last season, and finished tied for third in the league with 30 overall.You cant force plays, cornerback Darrelle Revis said. Youve just got to let them happen. They havent happened for us at the start of the season, but at the same time, weve still got to focus, do our jobs and when they come, theyre going to come in bunches.Were waiting for that, and hopefully we can start doing that this coming Sunday.The Jets (1-5) take on the Baltimore Ravens (3-3), who have done a good job of taking care of the football.Theyve turned the ball over just eight times, including four interceptions by Joe Flacco. But the Ravens quarterback hasnt been picked off in 151 attempts, the third-longest streak in franchise history, dating to his second interception of the game against Jacksonville on Sept. 25.I feel like if we get a turnover, theyll just keep coming, said cornerback Buster Skrine, echoing Revis comments. Last year, we got a turnover in the first game and they just kept coming. Its time for us to pick it up.It appeared the Jets were off to a good start with WWilliams getting interceptions in each of the first two games of the season.dddddddddddd But other than Gilchrists play against the Chiefs in Week 3, Richardsons fumble recovery two weeks ago has been the only other takeaway by the Jets this season.Its not even just (turnovers), Richardson said. Just preventing points, you can still be a great defense. Were not doing that. So, even on that note, thats what it comes down to. Just not getting off the field on third down and we balled there last year, so weve just got to get back to it.Weve got to make plays.New York ranked first in the league in red-zone defense (35 percent) last season, and third overall in third-down defense (33.19 percent).This year, the numbers are far from what would be expected from a defense that many considered one of the NFLs best entering the season. The Jets are 24th in the red zone (64.71 percent) and 20th in third-down situations (40.3).Cheering home fans can be a factor in helping making things tough for opposing offenses. New York is playing its first game at MetLife Stadium in three weeks, and Richardson knows the crowd support directly depends on how they perform.We would like it, but youve got to give them something to cheer for, Richardson said. Were not blind to that fact, either. Its just that simple. You cant be cheering and you cant be happy if youre getting scored on.Game notesRichardson and WR Brandon Marshall downplayed their heated spat in the locker room after the Jets Week 3 loss at Kansas City. Its locker-room business, Richardson said. Thats what its supposed to be. Marshall said it was just a case of two leaders in this locker room trying to figure out a way to win. The argument never got physical, and Bowles addressed them and the rest of the team. It was really nothing, Bowles said. You lose a game, people get frustrated and you move on. ... In his first comments since having hip surgery Tuesday, WR Eric Decker told ESPN New York Radios Hahn and Humpty Show that hes not worried about missing any time next year. Decker, on IR with a shoulder injury, had the hip surgery that requires six months of recovery.
