HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- Carl Edwards latest championship loss might have been even more painful than his first.Leading the NASCAR season finale with 10 laps to go and closing in on his first title, Edwards wrecked while blocking fellow contender Joey Logano on a restart Sunday night.Logano turned Edwards sideways and sent him sliding across traffic at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Kasey Kahne slammed into Edwards rear bumper, lifting the No. 19 Toyota off the ground. Edwards spun, hit the outside wall and came to a stop on the track. Edwards climbed out, stood on the banking -- not too far from his wrecked race car -- and watched a replay on a big screen.Edwards shook his head and muttered damn as he realized he essentially caused the melee.I couldnt go to bed tonight and think that I gave him that lane, Edwards said.The move cost Edwards and Logano.I dont blame him, Logano said. He had to throw the block. Its the only move I had. Im not going to look back at it and second guess that move. I had to do that. Thats the only play I had. ... I understand why he had to throw the block and he understands why I had to make the move because that was for the win.That was the only shot that I had. That was for the race win. Its 10 to go. What do you expect? Its for a championship.Jimmie Johnson ended up winning the race, tying a NASCAR record by claiming his seventh championship. Logano finished fourth, two spots ahead of Kyle Busch. Edwards was 34th. Johnson, Logano, Busch and Edwards were the only title contenders in the finale.We had a few moments there throughout the day that we thought we were kind of on the outside looking in and didnt really see a very good shot of winning it, said Busch, who battled back from a lap down to have a shot down the stretch. And then all of a sudden it seemed like we had a really good shot to win the thing. We were up front and kind of driving away from those guys behind us ... and then we were out of it again.Edwards handled the loss with so much class that several colleagues celebrated him for it.Edwards brushed off a request to take an ambulance ride to the infield care center, instead making the trip on foot. He stopped by Loganos pit stall, climbed up on the box, chatted with crew chief Todd Gordon and shook hands with everyone up there.Yeah, no apology, Edwards said. I just wanted to say, `Hey, thats just racing and good luck to you guys. Theres so much on the line. I dont want to be anything extra to mess with Joey.Edwards got checked out in the care center and then gave a pep talk to family and friends, high-fiving each of them. It was a show of sportsmanship rarely seen in defeat in NASCAR, especially with so much on the line. He was even more supportive of his team, including crew chief Dave Rogers.They put it in my hands, Edwards said. Thats all you can ask for. ... It didnt work out. This is life. We performed well. We did our best. I just risked too much and Dave told me before this race its a pretty big reward and remember risk gets reward and I just had to push it.Edwards led 47 laps before finishing 34th in the race and fourth in the final standings.But his season will be remembered for another oh-so-close ending.Five years ago, Edwards and Tony Stewart had a head-to-head showdown at Homestead for the title. Edwards, then driving for Jack Roush, started the finale with a three-point lead in the standings and did everything he could from the minute he arrived in Florida. His Roush Fenway Racing team put his Ford on the pole, he led a race-high 119 of the 267 laps and still finished second to Stewart.Stewart and Edwards finished tied in the final Sprint Cup Series points standings -- a first in NASCAR history -- and Stewart took the tiebreaker based on his five victories to Edwards one.Edwards started watching a replay of that 2011 race earlier this week, but ended up turning it off in disgust.He surely wont want to watch this one, which left him still without a championship in 12 full seasons at the Cup level. And as much as the restart ended Edwards night, a late caution caused by little-known driver Dylan Lupton caused as much frustration.I just hated to see that caution, Edwards said. That was very, very frustrating. I felt like that was our race and our championship, but hey this is how racing goes.---More AP auto racing: www.racing.ap.orgCheap Nike Air Max Free Shipping .

Air Max Wholesale Free Shipping . -- Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis was charged Thursday with driving while intoxicated, a day after he was suspended for an NFL substance-abuse policy violation. Nick Diazs 18-month drug suspension officially expired on Monday, clearing the path for the UFC welterweight to resume competition for the first time since January 2015.Originally the Nevada State Athletic Commission suspended Diaz (26-9) five years for testing positive for marijuana metabolites in a fight-night test, his third marijuana-related offense in the state. The circumstances of the test were puzzling, however, as Diaz was tested three separate times on fight night, two of which came back clean. The suspension was ultimately reduced to 18 months.On Monday, Diaz, 32, said the suspension was actually something of a blessing in disguise and hes in no rush to accept the first fight offered to him.What can I say? For me, this is a curse, Diaz told ESPN. I havent been fanatical about being an MMA fighter since I turned pro [in 2001].There are ups and downs with that, being suspended. People dont understand, Ive had 37 fights, three to five fights every year, for 17 years. That does something to somebody. These suspensions are the only vacations Ive ever had. It cost me a lot of money to have a vacation, basically. Its nice to step back and see theres more to life. [Before], I didnt do any hanging out, drinking, meeting people, going to different places -- unless it was for a fight.Despite the fact hed been suspended 18 months, Diaz already has had one call-out -- and more are certain to follow.Newly crowned welterweight champion Tyron Woodley (16-3) immediately called out Diaz after defeating Robbie Lawler at UFC 201 last weekend. Former champion (and a previous Diaz opponent) Georges St-Pierre has repeatedly hinted he is interested in coming out of retirement. There would be plenty of fan interest in a rematch between St-Pierre and Diaz, who fought in March 2013. St-Pierre won via decision.Diaz also has history with Lawler. The two fought a highly entertaining bout at UFC 47 in April 2004, with Diaz winning via knockout. Fans have clamored for a rematch since.For his part, Diaz said he doesnt believe St-Pierres claims on coming back and added he didnt believe a fight with Lawler would be next because the former champion is coming off a first-round loss to Woodley.Were going to have to see,, sit down and have a look at what fans want to see, Diaz said.dddddddddddd Im on top right now. Im on top of this game. There aint no giving me a shot. Im giving somebody a shot. If anybodys getting a shot, somebodys getting a shot against me, because Im the guy to beat. These guys arent doing any money fighting each other, and until they do some money fighting each other, Im not interested. Im looking for the right guy to make the right show, do the right numbers. Then we can talk.Well see. I have to talk about these things. Im not trying to do any what Im going to do, what Im not going to do through the media. Im just here to say, Look, Im not suspended no more. These guys are talking about me, asking how I feel about it -- I could care less. What are you guys gonna do for me? I cant help you. You cant help yourself. You need to go help yourself. Maybe after you do that, we can have some sort of deal.Since Diazs last fight, the UFC has partnered with the United States Anti-Doping Agency to launch a new drug-testing program. The policy calls for year-round random drug testing and requires athletes to inform USADA at all times of their whereabouts.Diaz revealed hes already run into issues with the program, saying that USADA went to his house when he wasnt home. According to his manager, Lloyd Pierson, the matter was quickly resolved and did not result in a potential violation. Pierson said meeting the terms of the whereabouts policy would be a nonissue regarding Diazs potential return.For now, that return remains potential, according to Diaz. Hes not in a hurry to get back into a fight, but certainly the right one would likely pull him back. The question now is, which fight is that?I dont need none of this s---, Diaz said. I walk around -- people know who I am. Ive got friends. I can make ends meet. I grew up around people who have been hustling from the start, so I think Ive got a bright little future ahead of me -- especially if I dont fight. Why would I want to go out there and fight with somebody, get my face punched and kicked. Its not my idea of a good time.
