CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Hendrick Motorsports has locked down the driver and sponsor of its No. 5 car with an extension of Great Clips for driver Kasey Kahne.The two-year agreement covers the 2017 and 2018 seasons and gives Kahne 10 races of sponsorship each year. Great Clips, which has been with Hendrick Motorsports since 2012, also will be a major associate sponsor of the No. 5 team each year.Kasey has been a member of the Great Clips family for over 13 years and is a great ambassador of our brand, said Terri Miller, senior vice president of marketing and communications for Great Clips.Kahne has been with Hendrick since 2012 and has five wins and three berths in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He has not made the Chase the last two years, and is currently 17th in the standings. There had been speculation that Hendrick would replace him in the No. 5, but his contract and sponsorship keeps him with the organization at least through 2018.Great Clips has believed in me throughout my career, Kahne said. Theyre a big part of the No. 5 team, and we feel like members of their team, too.---SADLER BACK IN THE CHASETwelve years after participating in his first Chase for the championship, Elliott Sadler is back in the field.This time, though, its the inaugural Chase in the Xfinity Series.Sadler is one of the 12 drivers competing in the Chase for NASCARs second-tier series title. In 2004, he was among the 10-driver field that made the original Chase. He finished ninth in the standings that season.I dont know if thats good or bad, Sadler said, unsure if it gives him any sort of edge over 11 drivers who have no playoff experience.Its not like Im a seasoned quarterback that can read the defense better than a rookie quarterback coming in. I think thats when experience plays a part, he said. I think now its just about which teams can get their cars the fastest, what driver can get the best information and not make mistakes on the track. I feel like everybody thats a part of this Chase, all 12 guys, can do just as good a job as anybody else, no matter their age or where theyre from or how many years theyve raced.---PAGENAUD-PETIT LE MANSFresh off his IndyCar championship, Simon Pagenaud has already lined up another race.Pagenaud will join Action Express Racings points-leading No. 31 Corvette at Petit Le Mans on Oct. 1.

Kyle Edmund came of age with victory over Serbias Dusan Lajovic to lead defending champions Great Britain into the semifinals of the Davis Cup.The 21-year-old was given the responsibility of being Britains number one player in only his second Davis Cup tie after Andy Murray pulled out.Edmund secured his first win in the competition in impressive fashion against Janko Tipsarevic on Friday and, after Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot put Britain 2-1 up in Belgrade on Saturday, found himself in the position of trying to win the tie.He played superbly until nerves kicked in when he served for the match in the third set but recovered his composure to win 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7/5).The victory extended Britains winning run in the competition to six ties and set up a semifinal against Argentina in September, probably in Glasgow.Andy Murray may well play in that one, making Britain firm favourites to reach the final once again.It was a rather different Sunday for the world number two, who seven days after winning Wimbledon found himself sitting in conditions more typical of a Scottish summer as he cheered on Edmund.But persistent drizzle did not prevent the match starting on time and Edmund, ranked 14 places above his opponent at 67 in the world, immediately took control.Lajovic is a solid player and a very good mover on clay but the 26-year-old does not have a shot to rival Edmunds forehand -- he hit 27 winners off that wing alone -- and it was soon doing plenty of damage.The result ended up as 3-2 to Britain after Tipsarevic defeated James Ward 6-2, 3-6, 7-5 in the dead rubber.Edmund broke serve for the first time in the sixth game and showed his confidence by serving out the set with twwo aces.dddddddddddd The only real moments of danger for the Yorkshireman came in the middle of the second set.First he was distracted by noise from the crowd when he threatened another break at 2-2, and then he found himself facing a first break point. But he held, broke for 4-3 and then put behind him the disappointment of missing two set points on the Lajovic serve to clinch it confidently on his third chance.Lajovics only hope appeared to be for the occasion to get to Edmund, and that finally happened when he served for the match at 5-4 in the third set.The young Britons first serve deserted him and Lajovic broke for the first time.The Serbian then twice forced set point on Edmunds serve but could not take either.Lajovic led 4-2 in the tie-break but Edmund again used his forehand to fight back and brought up his first match point at 5-6.When Lajovic drove a backhand wide, Edmund dropped to the clay in celebration before being embraced by captain Leon Smith and the rest of the team.Although Serbia were severely weakened by the absence of Novak Djokovic and Viktor Troicki, this was Britains first win at World Group level without Murray since 1986 and, coming away from home on clay, represents another hugely notable achievement for Smiths men.Meanwhile, British number four Dan Evans has turned down the chance to represent Britain at the Olympics. The 26-year-old was the next in line following Tomas Berdychs withdrawal on Saturday but, given the late notice and the lack of ranking points on offer, has opted to stick to his planned schedule. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
