RICHMOND, Va. -- The race to get into the Chase for the Sprint Cup had little drama at Richmond.It had insults. Just not much drama.The underdog Jeremy Mayfields?win-and-in story never developed. The drivers who couldnt have problems had nagging but simple issues rather than full-fledged disasters. The drivers who needed to have great days and good luck had mediocre days and horrible luck, at best.Ryan Newman had about as bad a week as a driver could get. Saddled with a 15-point penalty earlier in the week, Newman knew early in Saturdays race that he probably wasnt going to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup field. Not with the way his car was driving. Not with the somewhat insignificant wholesale changes to the car the Richard Childress Racing team made throughout the race.He had gotten into the top 10 though before tangling with Tony Stewart.And then it was on. Outside the infield medical center, Newman ripped into Stewart, whom he felt (correctly) had cut across his nose on purpose.Him just being bipolar and having anger issues, Newman described as the cause of the wreck.Stewart didnt get too spicy in his responses. The last thing he needs is a war of words with a driver that at least used to be one of his good friends.This is Stewarts last Chase as the sun is about to set on his Cup career. He doesnt need to throw wood on the fire with Newman to distract him from his last chance to win a championship.Unfortunately for Stewart, the whos in, whos out story couldnt overshadow the Newman words.The Chase field was rarely in doubt throughout the race. With 200 laps to go, Newman was 34 points out of the cut, while Chris Buescher was up 16 on David Ragan for 30th.With 40 laps to go, Newman had cut that deficit in half to 17, but he was in the top 10. So he wasnt going to make up much more ground, and Jamie McMurray -- the driver he needed to catch -- was on pace to maintain his spot or at least not lose many. One position on the track is worth one point in NASCAR.Then came the wreck. And all that was left were the words. The drama was pretty much over.Oh, Kasey Kahne had a desperation shot on the green-white-checkered finish as he restarted fourth. But on old tires, he wasnt going to beat the much stronger Toyotas on the front row.That didnt keep McMurray from feeling nervous. He would have been out if Kahne had pulled off the upset.I was totally worried about him, McMurray said. Heading into the last restart, we had fresh tires and I was like, There is nothing I can do about Kasey Kahne right now. Im going to go out and just do the best I can, and if it works out, it works out.It worked out just fine. In the end, Newman finished 43 points off the cut -- maybe making it a little easier for him to stomach the 25 points in penalties during the year. Chase Elliott, who at one point had to pit for a cut tire, ended up with a 48-point cushion, and Austin Dillon was 46 points to the good.[Were] very lucky our tire cut down when it did, was able to get up against the wall and kind of get slowed down before I had a big hit, Elliott said. That was just luck, I guess, and how that worked out. ... Well take it.Buescher finished with a 21-point cushion on 30th even with having contact on a restart that resulted in a cut tire and a green-flag pit stop that at one point put him two laps down.We wouldnt want it to be easy, Buescher said. That definitely was a stressful day. ... It is just a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.I tried not to get too caught up into that early on. It wasnt until that last 50 or 60 laps wanting a little more information.Newman never had to ask for information even before his accident. With his chances to make the Chase dim, being mired between 11th and 20th and then have a speeding penalty, he knew he needed the others to have trouble.The funny thing about racing, though, is things can turn thanks to another drivers mistake or a broken part.Newman didnt have the funny thing happen. He had the racing thing, and he tangled with a driver that he knows drives by a certain code.How many times does he get to run into you before you say, Youve had enough? Stewart said.Stewart didnt have any qualms telling it the way he saw it. He fully admitted he cut into Newman, because if Newman was going to keep running into him, he wasnt going to get away with it.I remember when he has had a lot of stuff on the line and he gets the give and take, but he has never been really one to give back much, Newman said.Stewart wont be giving back much. He will be among 16 drivers doing a heck of a lot more taking than giving over the next 10 weeks.That could create tension. Make that, it should create tension.It should, hopefully, make the Chase better than its regular-season finale. The biggest names -- except for the concussed Dale Earnhardt Jr. -- in the sport are all in the Chase.Those drivers will have to put regular-season issues behind them. Stewart said there is no feud with Newman, that in his eyes, it was over.He is right. Its time for a new season. Let the drama begin. Because NASCAR fans are probably starving for it after Saturday night at Richmond. Cheap New York Jets Jerseys . Mickelson barely made the cut but had the best round of the day with nine birdies and an eagle coupled with two bogeys to sit two shots behind leader Craig Lee of Scotland.

SAINT-LO, France -- Tour de France cyclists suspected of using hidden motors will be stopped even in the middle of a stage, UCI president Brian Cookson said on Friday.The International Cycling Union is deploying a magnetic resonance test and thermal cameras to catch any cheats.We can do the tests at the start, at the finish, we can take bikes during the race if there are any changes or so, Cookson said. Its not just the bikes that the riders start off the race, we test the bikes on the cars, we test the bikes on the teams trucks as well.The race starts on Saturday at Mont-Saint-Michel.The first suspicion of mechanical doping emerged in 2010 when Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara was forced to deny he won Paris-Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders with the help of an electric bike after a video appeared to show him pushing a button on the handlebars during both races. Bike checks were introduced, and have been carried out by the UCI at its events.This year, a Belgian cyclist was caught using a motor on her bike at the cyclo-cross world championships.We will both target and be unpredictable, Cookson said. We are not going to test every bike and every team every day. We are going to test a large number, probably do over 3,000 tests during the Tour de France, compared to 20 or 30 last year.Cookson would not speculate on how widespread was mechanical doping.Clearly the technology exists, clearly it is a threat that we have to deal with, and absolutely we will do what we can to make sure we combat it effectively, he said.Femke Van den Driessche, the Belgian ccaught at the cyclo-cross worlds, was the first cyclist caught for mechanical doping in a major competition, and banned for six years.ddddddddddddAfter that control in January it was obvious that it was not just a rumor and we needed to do something, Tour director Christian Prudhomme said. It was perhaps a bit slow, but now we have a true arsenal of deterrent weapons.In April, French television program Stade 2 claimed to have detected motors at two Italian races by using roadside thermal cameras. The UCI previously said its magnetic resistance test was more effective than flawed heat-seeking tests, which it said were only effective if bikes are filmed close up from motorcycles.To reassure authorities in France, the police and (Tour organizers) ASO, if we have to adopt a supplemental method then we will do that, Cookson said. We have a good system, we are happy to use an additional system from time to time as we will be using during the Tour.In terms of traditional doping controls, Cookson said it will be a normal regime, with the possibility of tests at night, as allowed by French law.The French Anti-Doping Agency and the Cycling Anti-Doping Foundation -- an independent organization mandated by the UCI -- renewed their partnership for the Tour, with targeted tests being carried out throughout the three-week race.A total of 656 controls were performed during the 2015 Tour, including 482 blood tests and 174 urine tests.
