RICHMOND, Va. Oilers Jerseys 2021 . — Kyle Busch led from start to finish, usually by plenty, and ended an eight-race NASCAR Nationwide Series winless streak Friday night with his fifth career victory at Richmond International Raceway. Busch started on the pole, routinely built leads of several seconds and was never really challenged. Busch said he hoped he would be strong, but you never think you are going to be that good. It was the second time in Buschs career that he led a race in the series from start to finish. He also was the last person to accomplish the feat, the first time coming in Phoenix in February 2011. Good car, good decisions and good executing there tonight, Busch said in Victory Lane. Kevin Harvick appeared to be closing in on him with about 40 laps to go, and said his car was stronger than Buschs on long runs, but that the final caution eliminated any chance he had of overtaking the leader. It took about 30 laps for us to swing the time the other way, Harvick said. Just didnt have a chance after the last caution come out. I think we would have caught him if that caution doesnt come out. Harvick won the April race at the track for his record seventh Richmond series victory. The sixth and final caution bunched the field for a restart with 18 laps to go, and Busch again made quick work of his competition, cruising to his record-extending 67th victory in the series. He won by 1.323 seconds. Busch said he did consider what would happen if he lost the lead after being so dominant. It crosses your mind, for sure, but you just think about the situation, he said, and planning in advance not to get too worked up, but to remember how he got in front and work to regain the lead. I planned all that ahead, he said. Fortunately, I didnt have to use it. It was the fourth victory of the season for Busch, but first since May 31 at Dover. Hes finished second four times since, including two weeks ago at Bristol when he led 161 of 300 laps, but Ryan Blaney beat him on a restart with six laps to go. Pretty pumped about being back in Victory Lane, being back in Victory Lane here at Richmond, Busch said. Its been a while when you think about it. Nationwide Series points leader Chase Elliott overtook Harvick after the final restart to claim second. Harvick was third, followed by Blaney and Brian Scott. Regan Smith, who is second in points, finished sixth and went from 15 points down to 19. Like Harvick, Elliott thought he might have had a chance to close in without the final caution flag. We made gains really throughout the night and we were getting closer and closer, he said. Wholesale Oilers Jerseys .

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — The Chicago Bears released eight-time Pro Bowl defensive end Julius Peppers on Tuesday, one of several moves they made to reshape their struggling defence. The Bears also agreed to a five-year contract with former Oakland Raiders defensive end Lamarr Houston, a two-year contract with former Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants safety Ryan Mundy, and one-year deals with linebackers Jordan Senn and D.J. Williams. But the biggest move as they tried to shore up a defence that got shredded by injuries and ranked among the leagues worst last season involved Peppers. Given the way he struggled last season and the fact that his salary cap hit for next season was for more than $18 million, the Bears were expected to let him go or restructure his contract. „We appreciate Julius contributions to the Bears over the last four years,“ general manager Phil Emery said in a statement. „He was a leader on our defence starting every game since coming to Chicago. His accomplishments over his NFL career place him among the best defensive ends over the past 20 years. The Chicagoland community has benefited greatly from his quiet generosity. We wish him the best.“ Peppers is the second high-profile player to part ways with the Bears this off-season, joining record returner Devin Hester. Those moves come after they split with Brian Urlacher following the 2012 season. Peppers, who turned 34 in January, finished with just seven sacks, his lowest total in four seasons with Chicago and the fewest for him since he had a career-low 2 1/2 with Carolina in 2007. Three times last year he failed to register a tackle, and the Bears defence ranked among the worst in the NFL. But Peppers has been one of the best at his position during his career. In his 12 seasons with Carolina (2002-2009)) and Chicago (2010-13), he ranks second in the NFL with 118 1/2 sacks. Fake Oilers Jerseys. He has nine interceptions — the most by a defensive lineman since 2002 — and his 39 career forced fumbles are fifth most in the league during that time. On special teams, Peppers has 11 blocked kicks during his career. With the Bears, Peppers had 38 sacks along with three interceptions, nine forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries. But he was inconsistent last season. At times, he showed that old burst. Too often, he was a nonfactor. The defence, overall, was a mess for the Bears last season because of injuries and poor execution. Williams, Lance Briggs, Charles Tillman, and Henry Melton missed big chunks of the season. Nickel back Kelvin Hayden and defensive tackle Nate Collins also suffered season-ending injuries. And the Bears couldnt stop the run or get to the quarterback. Chicago allowed a league-high 5.3 yards per carry, half a yard more than any other team, and tied Jacksonville with an NFL-worst with 31 sacks. Houston started all 16 games last season for Oakland and was one of the few playmakers on a 4-12 team. He led the Raiders with a career-high six sacks and got 16 in four seasons with them. Mundy made a career-high nine starts with the Giants last season after spending his first four with Pittsburgh. He had 70 tackles and a 91-yard interception return along with two pass breakups and a fumble recovery. He also had seven special teams stops. Senn has appeared in 83 games with seven starts over six seasons with Indianapolis (2008-09) and Carolina (2009-13). He was primarily a special-teams player last season. Williams appeared in six games and made four starts at middle linebacker last season after signing a one-year deal with Chicago. A ruptured pectoral muscle tendon cut short his season. ‚ ‚ ‚
