BRISTOL, Tenn. -- Austin Dillon figured fourth place was about all he could get Friday night until the old Brad Keselowski-Kyle Busch rivalry reared up at Bristol Motor Speedway.Keselowski hit the back of Buschs car as the defending Sprint Cup champ tried to clear him from the lead, cutting down a tire and sending Busch into the wall four laps from the scheduled end. Then just as suddenly Keselowski ran out of gas during the caution -- leaving a happily surprised Dillon out front to win the Xfinity race in overtime Friday night.I was actually just enjoying what was going on (up front) trying to get there, Dillon said about the chaos.For the last 50 laps, the race looked like a classic faceoff between Busch and Keselowski, whom no one would consider friends.While Keselowskis tactic to many diehards was just a traditional Bristol bump-and-run, its sure to stir up a Busch-Keselowski tussle that frequently goes from zero-to-60 in seconds.Keselowski described Busch as another name for a donkey during driver intros at Bristol in 2010. Keselowski detailed their rocky relationship on and off track in a blog last year.The two get a chance to tangle once more here Saturday night in the Sprint Cup event.We were battling really hard and definitely didnt want to see it end that way, Keselowski said.Hes a dirty racer, Busch responded when asked by ESPN.Dillon didnt care about the circumstances only that he was broke cleanly in the green-white-checkered finish to beat?Justin Allgaier?in second and Kyle Larson in third.Even when they were pushing us, we had to remain calm, said Dillons crew chief, Justin Alexander. Things unfold and youre sitting there pretty much where you need to be.Larson had led for 200 of 308 laps, but was overtaken the Keselowski and Busch.Dillons younger brother, Ty Dillon, made it a three-car race as he mixed it up between the two Sprint Cup champs. In fact, it was Ty Dillon, who emerged on top when that trio raced three-wide on Bristols slippery, tight track. But Dillon couldnt sustain his edge and his chances ended for good when he hit the back of Buschs slowed machine.Dillon thought the Keselowski-Busch dustup might increase the walk-up sales for Saturday nights next round. We should sell some tickets tomorrow night, he said.All the fussin and fuedin up front was just fine with Dillon, who won his eighth career Xfinity victory and first at Bristol.It was just a war of attrition and we had a pretty good car, Dillon said. Maybe not the fastest car, but the car that won.NASCAR and Bristol Motor Speedway officials will also reapply resin in the turns of the track in preparation for the Sprint Cup race Saturday night.The resin was also reapplied Thursday night and appeared to be successful in adding grip to the lower groove. While the track had used a tire machine to add rubber to the road before the race weekend, the tire machine will not be used again prior to the Sprint Cup race.Drivers lobbied after the Xfinity race for the reapplication of the resin.Yeah, that was the whole point, Keselowski said when asked if it should be reapplied. The whole point was to work on the bottom groove and make this a track that doesnt run on the top. There was a lot of work done to make that happen. It didnt stick (through the night). ... Its just a question on NASCAR whether they want to let the track work on it and get it back. Air Max 720 Baratas Online .

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota coach Richard Pitino started this season with a rule many college coaches have used before -- no media interviews for freshmen.It didnt take long for Amir Coffey to force Pitino to change his mind.Coffey scored 30 points on just 14 shots to lead Minnesota to a 92-86 over St. Johns on Friday night.When you play like that, youve got to change that rule, Pitino said, later adding that it was as impressive a freshman performance as Ive seen.Dupree McBrayer had 18 points, five rebounds and five assists, and Nate Mason added 13 points, seven assists and five rebounds for the Golden Gophers (4-0), who only turned the ball over six times.Marcus LoVett scored 31 points on 11-for-27 shooting and Shamorie Ponds had 23 points and eight rebounds for St. Johns (2-1). The Red Storm led by 13 points midway through the first half, but shot just 37 percent to let the lead slip away.We didnt get the quality shots I would like, St. Johns coach Chris Mullin said after his team had just nine assists on 29 field goals. When you get down, guys start trying to do it themselves. I would like more ball movement with some high pick and rolls, which was working.Coffey made 9 of 14 shots and was 11 for 12 on free throws.Just trying to find myself. Its a new system, new offense, new teammates, said Coffey, the son of former Minnesota standout Richard Coffey and a star at Twin Cities prep power Hopkins. Just getting comfortable playing with these guys.St. Johns blitzed the Gophers out of the gates, leading 22-9 eight minutes into the game. But Coffey keyed the Gophers response, a 32-9 finish to the half that helped them take control.I thought we helped him a little bit. We got him going, Mullin said. But hes got nice length. Hes got a nice touch. He killed us.Bashir Ahmed added 15 points and 10 rebounds for St. Johns, which pulled within three points in the second half but couldnt get closer.ddddddddddddBIG PICTURESt. Johns: Its back to the drawing board after falling flat in its first real test of the season. The Red Storm cruised to victories in their first two games against Bethune-Cookman and Binghamton by a combined 63 points.

Seven of those swats came in the first half as the Gophers climbed back into the game. Its been a long road back for Lynch, who sat out last season after transferring and endured a knee injury that kept him from playing for most of the summer.Hes a game-changer for us in the back of the defense, Pitino said.TOUCHING MOMENTAs the crowd stood for the Star Spangled Banner, the singers microphone appeared to malfunction.
