Volvos Scott McLaughlin knows just how vital this weekends Supercars event in Sydney is to his flagging championship aspirations.The New Zealander goes into the Sydney SuperSprint round 285 points behind championship leader Jamie Whincup and without a podium since the opening race of the Winton event in May.McLaughlin made a statement at Sydney Motorsport Park on Friday by topping the time sheets in practice, but he knows he has to turn that one-lap pace into results this weekend.The only way were going to get back into contention is we have some stronger results, said McLaughlin, who clocked a best lap of one minute and 29.7774 seconds in the second of two one-hour practice runs on Friday.With championship rivals Shane van Gisbergen (1:29.8191) and Mark Winterbottom (1:29.8326) clocking the second and third fastest-laps of the day and championship leader Jamie Whincup (ninth) not far behind, McLaughlin knows he cant afford to relax.Obviously those guys arent getting any slower. Its important we stay in front of them, he said.To win the championship you need to be in the top five more often than not if youre not winning races. Thats the aim.Holdens Craig Lowndes, wholl make an unprecedented 600th career race start on Sunday, was seventh fastest.Just ahead of him was Holdens James Courtney, returning to the scene of an accident in 2015 that left him with broken ribs and damage to his lungs and sternum.A week after finding out Holden would end its 26-year association with Holden Racing Team at the end of 2016, Courtney said it was refreshing to get the teams focus back on racing.For sure were upset to see Holden leave the team but were pressing on, trying to keep on winning ... its just part of business really, he said.Fords Chaz Mostert, who won two races at this event in 2015, came fourth in the second session after topping the time sheets in the days earlier hour-long practice run.The session was a complete write-off however for Nissans Rick Kelly, who went off track with a stuck throttle inside the opening four minutes and was unable to return to the track despite some feverish work by his garage.The Sydney SuperSprint starts on Saturday with a 120km race from 4.30pm with a 200km race to be held on Sunday.

"We know whos in charge," he said. http://www.vikingsauthenticshop.com/Vikings-Kendall-Wright-Draft-Jersey/ . Instead of dwelling on the negative, Oates focused on what was good about the clubs recent play. It worked. Adam Thielen Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Trae Waynes Jersey . Despite the cost, effort and an improved steroid test, its possible that very few -- if any -- positives will be detected, Dr. Richard Budgett told The Associated Press in an interview. "We just dont know what the results from Torino will be," Budgett said. Look out, Browns. The Panthers will challenge for the No. 1 pick in next years draft.Cam Newton has a concussion, the secondary is awful and the defending NFC champions are 1-3. Theyve already lost more games than in 2015 when they were 17-2.They must be finished. Right?Take it easy.The season is only one-quarter over and Derek Anderson is a solid backup. The Falcons (3-1) are playing well, but their defense is suspect so the NFC South isnt out of reach.Carolina hosts Tampa Bay (1-3) next Monday night and visits New Orleans (1-3) the following week, so they could be even by their bye week.Here are other overreactions following Week 4:OVERREACTION: Matt Ryan to Julio Jones is the greatest QB-WR combo in NFL history. Ryan threw for 503 yards, including 300 to Jones in a 48-33 win over the Panthers.REALISTIC REACTION: Montana-Rice. Manning-Harrison. Young-Rice. Just to name a few.---OVERREACTION: The Raiders will end their playoff drought. A 28-27 win at Baltimore has Oakland (3-1) off to its best start since winning the AFC championship in 2002.REALISTIC REACTION: They have two wins by one point. Theyre that close to being 1-3.---OVERREACTION: Andrew Luck is overrated. Luck and the Colts are off to a 1/3 start after going 8-8 last year.REALISTIC REACTION: A poor offensive line is hurting Luck. Hes been sacked 15 times and is on pace to be hitt nearly 200 times this season.dddddddddddd.---OVERREACTION: Pittsburghs 34-3 loss to the Eagles was a blessing in disguise. They rebounded nicely with a 43-14 win over Kansas City.REALISTIC REACTION: Theyre a legitimate contender in the AFC and certainly not as bad as the loss to Philadelphia indicated, but a 31-point loss is never anything to remember fondly.---OVERREACTION: The Ravens are a fluke. After beating teams that were 1-8 through the first three weeks, they lost their first tough test to Oakland.REALISTIC REACTION: You can only beat the teams on your schedule. Theyll be in the mix in the AFC North.---OVERREACTION: Chip Kelly will be the first coach fired. The 49ers have lost three straight after opening the season with a shutout win over the Rams.REALISTIC REACTION: Kelly signed a four-year deal worth $24 million. A 1-15 season might not cost him his job.---OVERREACTION: Sam Bradford and the Vikings are headed to the Super Bowl. A 24-10 win over the Giants has them off to a 4-0 start.REALISTIC REACTION: They dont have Adrian Peterson. That still can hurt them in the long run.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP-RobMaaddiJerseys NFL ChinaCheap Jerseys WholesaleNFL Jerseys CheapChina Womens NFL JerseysJerseys NFL ChinaDiscount NFL JerseysCheap NFL Womens JerseysCheap Jerseys ThrowbackCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaDiscount NFL JerseysYouth NFL Jerseys CheapCheap Jerseys ThrowbackCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaYouth NFL Jerseys CheapWholesale Jerseys 2018 ' ' '
