NEWTON, Iowa -- Every year, Team Penske arrives in Iowa with a host of championship-contending drivers and leaves without a win.The 10th edition of the IndyCar race at Iowa Speedway could be Penskes best shot at breaking through.The grueling demands of Iowas 0.875-mile bull ring typically rewards the most skilled drivers. Penske has plenty of those, as Simon Pagenaud, Helio Castroneves and Will Power entered the weekend first, second and third in the point standings.Pagenaud will start Sundays race from the pole, followed by Josef Newgarden, Castroneves, Max Chilton and Charlie Kimball.Still, Penske has lagged far behind Andretti Autosport, winner of the last six races and seven of nine overall on IndyCars shortest track.Weve been close many times, said Castroneves, winless in Iowa despite two poles and five starts on the front row. The good news is Team Penske is one, two, three, and thats our goal to keep going all the way to the end of the season. But we have a big test here.Andretti could use another strong showing in Iowa to push at least one of its drivers into championship contention.Indianapolis 500 winner Alexander Rossi leads the way for the team in 10th, just one point ahead of teammate Ryan Hunter-Reay.Hunter-Reay has won the last two races in Iowa. Last seasons victory helped turn a miserable season into a decent one as Hunter-Reay went on to win at Pocono and finish sixth in the standings.Hunter-Reay has also finished in the top four in each of his last two races.But replicating his previous success here might be tough.Hunter-Reay had a miserable qualifying session and will start 20th out of 22 cars. Although no driver has ever won from the pole in Iowa, no one has taken first after starting from so far behind either.It doesnt really change my mentality at all. Every year I have to come back and work just as hard to get it done. Seems like it gets harder and harder every year, actually, Hunter-Reay said.Perhaps Sunday will provide Newgarden an opportunity to thrust himself into the championship conversation. Newgarden took second behind Hunter-Reay in 2014 and 2015, and hell start on the front row at Iowa for the first time all season.Yeah, its always tough. I mean, when you qualify second you think `Ah! Its just really hard to qualify second. You almost wish you qualified fifth or something. That sounds really stupid, but its always tough; we needed that last little bit, Newgarden said. But its nothing to complain about. I think we have fast cars.Should Penske fail to win yet again in Iowa this weekend, it can take solace in the fact its drivers will get at least two more chances here.Iowa Speedway announced Saturday that it has extended its agreement with IndyCar through 2018.James McCann Jersey . Capitals head coach Adam Oates said Ovechkin was injured in the first period against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday and clarified it was not a head injury. Alan Trammell Jersey . I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth. Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was calling the White Sox games. http://www.cheaptigersjerseys.com/ . Louis Blues absence from top spot in the TSN.

He found Nate Terry in the end zone and Terry made a one-handed catch to haul in the winning pass.UTEP led throughout the second half, but the Owls would not go away. They entered the fourth quarter trailing 31-20 but had two scores in the fiinal 4:36 to grab the win.ddddddddddddDriskel completed 20 of 25 pass attempts for 233 yards. Devin Singletary rushed for 145 yards and two scores for Florida Atlantic (3-7, 2-4 Conference USA).Aaron Jones had a record night for the Miners (3-7, 1-5) running for 229 yards to become UTEPs all-time leading rusher, amassing 3,738 yards in his career to surpass John Harveys 3,576.
