DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Vans Old Skool Vendita Online . -- Denny Hamlin insists he didnt let retiring NASCAR star Tony Stewart win last week at Sonoma Raceway.Asked about his runner-up finish at Daytona International Speedway on Thursday, Hamlin made it clear that his mistake was the main reason Stewart got by him in the final turn Sunday.Stewart passed Hamlin on the inside going into tricky Turn 11 and held on to break an 84-race winless streak.I made a mistake and didnt execute good, Hamlin said. Ultimately, I made a mistake and thought we would maybe drag race to the line because we were in the center of the corner side by side and I thought this could be good. Once I saw him steer left, I knew it was over with.My biggest mistake I feel like is not recognizing the gap I had behind me. ... I still needed to execute to make him make the decision. Instead I made the decision for him.Hamlin took the lead from Stewart in the seventh turn on the road course. But he locked up the wheels and got wide four turns later, and Stewart took advantage.The last-lap pass had some questioning whether Hamlin intentionally allowed Stewart to get a much-needed victory in his final season, a win that likely will allow the three-time NASCAR champion to compete for another Sprint Cup title.In my defense, which I should still not make mistakes, is that Ive never been in that position before, Hamlin said.Ive not been that competitive on road courses and so I didnt know the proper defensive move going into that last corner. Id love to have that situation back again, but I really just didnt know the proper move.Hamlin, who used to be teammates with Stewart at Joe Gibbs Racing, congratulated Stewart on the track and again in victory lane. He later apologized to his team.Despite the late slip-up, Hamlin said his best road-course finish gives him confidence going forward at those tracks.When I go back to road courses I know that I can win these races, he said. And really, going into Sonoma, I didnt go there with a whole lot of aspirations of winning that race. I just havent been that great on them. Ive always struggled for speed.Its not been because of my cars -- its been because of me -- but now I feel like completely the cycle is possible and Ill get it before my career is over for sure.Hamlin picked up the biggest victory of his career in February, winning the season-opening Daytona 500. Now, hes trying to become the sixth driver to sweep both races at Daytona in the same season.Hamlin edged Martin Truex Jr. in the closest finish in Daytona 500 history.Its definitely been a good year no matter what when you win a race like that, Hamlin said.But its cool to come back here. ... Youre back in victory lane where you were and definitely brings back some good memories for sure. Really this track has been very good to me throughout my career. We hope to complete the sweep this weekend. Vans Old Skool Outlet Italia . Jeff Green scored 13 points and Kris Humphries 12 for the Celtics, who nearly blew an 18-point, second-half lead. Sullingers 20-20 was the first by a Celtics player since Kevin Garnetts first game in Boston in 2007. Garnett was dealt -- along with Paul Pierce -- to Brooklyn during the off-season.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. http://www.oldskooloutlet.it/ . -- When the Florida Panthers fell behind by two goals in the first period to the top team in the NHL, it appeared they were on their way to yet another loss. A seething Michael Cheika has given his reshuffled Wallabies the ammunition to come out firing against France, after taking exception to his side being labelled a B team.Chiekas team announced on Thursday, which featured 11 new faces and a positional change to new skipper David Pocock from last weeks last-gasp win over Scotland, raised plenty of eyebrows around Paris.Conscious of the heavy workload of some players, Cheika opted to rest the likes of captain Stephen Moore and vice-captain Michael Hooper, as well as stars Israel Folau and Bernard Foley.The French press accused Australia of treating the match without the respect it deserved, with the Wallabies choosing to rest weary stars ahead of the crucial grand slam showdowns with Ireland and England.When it came to motivating his side, Cheika was leaving nothing to chance.He seized upon the B team gibes expressed in the French media and immediately took them to his team.I explained to them that the response to our selection was that we were playing with an equipe bis (a back-up team), Cheika said on Friday.When asked what the teams reaction to the slight had been, Cheika said: Well see tomorrow night (reaction).They didnt say anything, I told them what it meant, I left it with them.Pocock, who returns to the captaincy ffor the first time since August 2012, said it was a special fixture and one which no player selected would take lightly.

Obviously a bunch of new players get an opportunity this week and thats really exciting because weve got depth in our squad, Pocock said.Something weve been working hard on is getting everyone up to speed and having a lot of competition at training.To see guys get opportunities as a player is exciting.To play here, its one of the great grounds to play at. Its incredibly loud.A unique atmosphere. Its definitely a special night.Cheika joked during the week that the French might not have seen much of Kyle Godwin, who will become the Wallabies 13th debutant in 2016, or fullback Luke Morahan, who joins from outside the squad to play his third Test.But Pocock played down the advantage that might be gained from having some surprise selections - pointing to Frances heavy 52-8 win over Samoa last week as evidence that the home side are a dangerous outfit.Im not sure if its an advantage. They looked very good against Samoa, Pocock said.I thought in attack and defence they were exceptional. Were expecting a very tough game. ' ' '
