WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. -- After creating the customary cloud of smoke before his third straight trip to victory lane at Watkins Glen International, Joey Logano was beaming.Confidence is high, Logano said Saturday after his second straight dominant performance in the Xfinity race at The Glen. Its a great thing for Team Penske. Weve been off to a rough start this year.Just as he did a year ago, Logano started from the pole in the Zippo 200 and dominated, leading 67 of 82 laps. It was Loganos 26th win in the series and the first Xfinity triumph for Penske since November, a span of 21 races.Teammate Brad Keselowski, who started second, was in contention the entire race until a track bar malfunction sent him to the pits while running second with six laps to go. He finished 24th.Paul Menard finished second, followed by Kyle Larson, Daniel Suarez, Trevor Bayne and points leader Elliott Sadler.Kyle Busch challenged for the lead early, but damage to his splitter forced him to the pits and he also was involved in a nine-car crash that sent him to the garage.Running second, Busch had to pit during the races first caution for repairs to his splitter, which was damaged running over the tracks new curbing, and dropped far back in the field. The big crash came in the high-speed esses and brought out a red flag on lap 19.This is really unfortunate, crew chief Chris Gayle said. When you know you have as fast of a car as we did, and to not have the opportunity to complete the race, its just really disappointing. Kyle just got caught up in something that we never should have been around.Ryan Sieg precipitated the pileup, getting into Todd Bodine as the cars snaked uphill into the narrowest section of the track with virtually no visibility ahead.I got sideways. I thought I had it but it hooked right, said Bodine, who grew up in nearby Chemung, New York, and considers Watkins Glen his home track. It was a hard hit. The car is junk. Its the first time Ive ever wrecked at Watkins Glen. I know these guys want to make a name for themselves. Sometimes, youve got to give. I was in line and I think Ryan thought he was just going to dive in there.Bodine careened sideways into the wall after contact with Blake Koch and cars began pinballing off one another in a chain-reaction crash, also taking out Darrell Wallace Jr., J.J. Yeley, Ryan Ellis, and Tomy Drissi. Bodine, Drissi, and Koch were treated at the infield care center and released.Just bad luck we continue to have, said a dejected Wallace, who is ninth in points. Hopefully, we can shake it off. I felt really good where we were at. Just not our day.Keselowski scooted past unscathed on the left side to remain in contention in 10th.By the midpoint of the race, Logano, Keselowski and Larson were running 1-2-3 and during a round of pit stops Larson pitted from the lead. He exited pit road just ahead of the Penske cars moments before rookie Erik Jones ran out of gas while running third to bring out another caution.Ty Dillon then inherited the lead but was penalized for a commitment line violation while heading to the pits.When the race restarted, Larson and Suarez were on the front row but not for long. One lap later the Penske cars were 1-2, with Logano leading the way as it became a two-car race to the finish.Derrike Cope brought out the sixth caution on lap 60 when he slid into the runoff area in the chicane and the front of his No. 70 Chevrolet exploded. He was not injured, and after exiting the car was unsure exactly what had happened.Keselowski, who never led but ran second for nearly half the race, challenged Logano on the restart and dogged him as the laps wound down, trying to pressure him into a mistake. It was a futile effort for the No. 22 Ford, which finished 24th.It was a lot of fun racing against him, said Logano, who also won the Sprint Cup race at The Glen a year ago. Thats the guy you know the best. He knows what Im doing up front. Were trying to battle each other. We both want to win.Logano maintained his slim edge in the No. 12 Ford and was home-free when his teammate had to pit, beating a fast-closing Menard by 1.5 seconds.It was a hard-fought one for sure. I was pretty sure my car wasnt going to hold together, Logano said. I know I was out there making qualifying laps for 20 laps. Im glad I had enough of a cushion.---Follow Kekis on Twitter: www.twitter.com/Greek1947 Adidas Superstar Scontate . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.

Scarpe Adidas Superstar Scontate . The news was first reported on Gonzalezs Twitter account and confirmed by the Rockies. Gonzalez has a six-week window before position players have their first workout at spring training in Arizona.Celtic boss Ronny Deila believes the media will continually link Kieran Tierney with a move to England as the defender continues his progress. The 18-year-old produced an assured display when winning his first Scotland cap in a 1-0 victory over Denmark at Hampden on Tuesday.In the aftermath of his international debut, he was mentioned as a £5m target for Southampton, who have signed Victor Wanyama, Fraser Forster and Virgil van Dijk from the Hoops in the last three years. But Deila has laughed off the rumours insisting Celtic Park is the only place the young left-back should be looking at as he continues to develop his career.I can tell you one thing, that is not the last club you come up with, said Deila ahead of the Premiership clash with Hearts on Saturday.When you are playing for the Scotland national team at 18 years old and you play regularly for Celtic, of course the clubs will be after him. Kieran Tierney impressed on his Scotland debut against Denmark But he is going to stay here, that is the best thing for his development. Now, he just has to have the consistency, play all the time and be a very important player for us.I didnt get to see the first half at Hampden, I only saw the second but I got told he did well. I spoke to Gordon (Strachan, Scotland manager) and he was satisfied and I am not very surprised by that.He showed what we have seen at Celtic, he is ready at this level. He is a young kid, mentally strong, physically strong and has adapted unbelievably quickly.Why? He works really hard every day in training, he is a humble guy, respectful, keen to learn new things and very disciplined. I am so happy for him but at the same time he has a lot to improve. He knows that himself. Deila expects Aberdeen to maintain title pressure on Hoops Tierney joined skipper Scott Brown, goalkeeper Craig Gordon, utility player Charlie Mulgrew and striker Leigh Griffiths on duty with the senior Scotland squad.ddddddddddddThe club had 33 players on international duty at various levels, and Deila believes that is testament to the quality of the squad at the Scottish Premiership leaders.Deila said: It is very good and it makes me proud. And also they won both games and that is a good thing for Scottish football.We are Scottish and we want to be the best club and we also need the players in the national team. I think there was a statistic that said we had over 30 players in various national teams, you cant be disappointed in that. Leigh Griffiths is frustrated during Celtics 0-0 draw with Hearts It is a positive thing, it says that there is a lot of talent here.Celtic have drawn twice with Hearts in the league this season, while beating their opponents at Tynecastle in the League Cup, and Deila expects another tough encounter in the Sky Live clash.After hosting Hearts, Celtic visit Dundee on Tuesday night before facing Motherwell at Fir Park next week.Deila expects title challengers Aberdeen to win their two matches against Hamilton and Hearts before the split, but insists his side are up for the challenge. We can see the finishing line so it is going to be a good game tomorrow. We need to keep on winning football games, added the Norwegian.I think they will win every game and we will have to do the same. We have been very consistent and we have to keep on the same way.
