FORT WORTH, Texas -- Johnny Sauter is still alone in qualifying for the title-deciding race in the first Chase for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.Sauter won his second consecutive playoff race Friday night with a late pass of Chase contender Matt Crafton, getting a victory at Texas Motor Speedway that prevented anyone else from clinching a spot to contend for the championship in the finale at Homestead in two weeks.This is amazing, Sauter said after climbing out of the No. 21 Chevrolet in Victory Lane. I feel very lucky to be here. ... Matt was content to keep running the bottom, so Im going to the top.Just before reaching the finish line with two laps remaining, Sauter went high and passed Crafton for the lead.There were only three yellow flags in the 147-lap race, each after the caution clock had expired. Crafton took the lead after the final restart.But just like at Texas in June, Crafton got passed on the high side late and finished second. Rookie driver William Byron, another Chase contender, beat him five months ago after his winning pass with five laps remaining.It is what it is, Crafton said. Im not worried about the Chase. Im worried about winning races. The Chase will take care of itself.It was Sauters third win this season. He won the opener at Daytona and last week at Martinsville to earn the first of four spots available for a chance to win the inaugural Chase championship for trucks.With only next weeks race at Phoenix before the finale at Homestead, there still are three spots up for grab.The next four drivers after Sauter in the points -- Bryon, Christopher Bell, Crafton and Timothy Peters -- are separated by only five points. Ben Kennedy is the sixth driver still in Chase contention.If Sauter or a non-Chase contender wins at Phoenix, the final three spots would be determined by points.Pole-sitter Spencer Gallagher, who led three times for 88 laps, was in front when the final caution came out. But he dropped six spots on pit road and restarted seventh on the restart with 18 laps to go, when Sauter and Crafton got out front.The only 15 laps Sauter led were those right after the final caution. Sauter led twice for only six laps.I was able to throw caution to the wind, Sauter said.Sauter did offer one apology after the race. That was to the fans for not doing a customary extended burnout on the frontstretch of the 1.5-mile, high-banked track.I know that was lame, he said. Ive got to have this truck for Homestead.

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Derrick Rose has a clear understanding of his new role with the New York Knicks.My job is to come here and help [Carmelo Anthony] win. This is his team, Rose said on Tuesday after his first training camp practice with the Knicks. In practice to push him, be on him, when I see that hes being lazy or something like that.And its vice versa, hes going to be on me when he needs to push me. Its no bad blood. Im just here to help him win.Anthonys Knicks have missed the playoffs for the past three seasons, struggling through a rebuild.Team president Phil Jackson sped the rebuild along this summer, putting together a roster thats expected to compete for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The overhaul started with a trade in late June for Rose, who said Tuesday that he hopes to make life easier for Anthony by drawing extra attention from opposing defenses and creating open shots for his new teammate.He should have a lot more open shots, knock down shots, and hes a knock-down shooter, Rose said. My job is to make the game easier for him.The Knicks also added Joakim Noah, Brandon Jennings and Courtney Lee to a roster that won just 32 games last season. Players have expressed optimism that they can return to the playoffs this season.The partnership between Rose, who is facing a civil suit alleging sexual assault as well as a criminal investigation, and Anthony is one of several key factors for New York entering the season.Rose said Tuesday that he and Noah, whom the Knicks signed over the summer to a four-year, $72 million deal, are here to help Anthony win games again.Were coming in here, were battle-tested.

I dont look at them after games. My job is as long as we win, I can sleep easy at night. Thats the only thing I worry about. Just coming here winning. And let the city feel it.Rose, the 2011 MVP, has struggled to stay on the court in recent seasons. Hes played in just 40 percent of his games over the past five seasons because of a variety of injuries, and hes entering the final year of his contract set to make $21.6 million this season.Anthony said Tuesday that hes looking forward to helping Rose with a fresh start in New York.Im more excited for him than I think he is for himself. I love kind of comeback stories, Anthony said. I love when guys are always counted out, backs up against the wall, and they have an opportunity to go out there and prove themselves.You can just see a different Derrick than what youve seen over the past couple of years. You can just look at it. The look is on his face. You can just see it.The civil suit Rose faces is scheduled to go to trial on Oct. 4 in Los Angeles. If Rose attends the trial, he will likely miss preseason games and practices with the Knicks.Rose has maintained that hes innocent of allegations and said Monday that he hasnt been distracted by the case.
