BRISTOL, Tenn. -- Carl Edwards is looking for Sprint Cup gold and there are few more successful spots him this season than Bristol Motor Speedway.Edwards won from the pole at the track in April and on Friday led Joe Gibbs Racings Olympic-style, 1-2-3 sweep of the top three spots in qualifying for the Saturday night race.Hopefully, well be sitting here tomorrow night at the end of this deal talking about how we did it in the race, Edwards said. Thatd be pretty neat.Edwards had a fast lap of 131.407 mph on the concrete surface of the half-mile track in the final segment of the three-round knockout qualifying. He bested teammates Denny Hamlin in second and Kyle Busch in third.Hamlin set the Bristol qualifying record of 131.668 mph in the first round of NASCARs three rounds of knockout qualifications.Ryan Blaney was fourth, his Ford disrupting a quartet of JGR racers as he finished a tick in front of Matt Kenseth.Chase Elliott was sixth, followed by Martin Truex Jr., AJ Allmendinger, Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano.Jeff Gordon was 11th, his best showing in the four races he has subbed for injured Dale Earnhardt Jr.Chris Buescher, the winner at Pocono last month, rounded out the top 12.It looks difficult for anyone to crack what appears to be JGRs dominance. While most of the garage is scrambling for position to make the championship Chase, Gibbs four drivers are already locked into the 16-driver field with a combined 10 victories in the seasons first 22 races.All of our cars were all very fast, Hamlin said. When youve got drivers that have equal equipment, all good drivers, it will be close.Edwards claimed his 21st career Sprint Cup pole and fourth at Bristol. Hamlin will start in the top 10 for the 21st time this season while Busch will make his 16th top-10 start of the year.---Other things from Bristol Motor Speedway on Friday:BIFFLES APPROACH: Greg Biffle might want to take a different tack at Bristol.The Roush Fenway Racing driver spun out and slid -- without hitting the wall -- during Sprint Cup practice early Friday. Then during qualifying, Biffle did a way-too-similar spin slide.He said he thought the car was strong and he was heading to a fast lap when he felt the car get loose and slip away.Biffle is in need of a strong performance in Saturday nights race. After not finishing in the top 10 in the first 16 races, he had an eighth, sixth and fifth the next three weeks at Daytona, Kentucky and New Hampshire. The spurt didnt last and Biffle has ended 39th, 25th and 39th the past three races.Biffle is starting 34th for the race.LOGANO THREE-PEAT?: Joey Logano has won the past two summer night races at Bristol and believes he can make it three in a row this weekend.Logano, locked into the championship Chase since winning at Michigan, has a string of consistently high finishes eight top-10s over the past 10 races -- six of those top five or better. He will start 10th on Saturday.The last driver to win two straight August events was Kyle Busch in 2009 and 2010. The last to win three straight summer events here was Darrell Waltrip in 1981, 1982 and 1983.DALE JRS REGIMEN: Dale Earnhardt Jr. is missing his fifth race this week since doctors believe he had a concussion from a hard crash at Michigan two month ago. Hes keep fans and friends updated on his progress with a series of videos with things he must do to improve his balance and his focus on objects in the distance while moving his head.Theres one of him playing basketball. In another one, he details visual performance enhancement he must do for 25 minutes. It crosses your eyes and makes them do all kinds of funny things, Earnhardt said. It trains your eyes to work together and I need that. Nike Air Jordan 11 Retro Mens .

But Bourque, who has missed three games with a lower-body injury, wont be in the lineup when the Habs travel to Buffalo to take on the Sabres on Wednesday. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- With a rookie quarterback and one of the NFLs best defenses, the Denver Broncos were content to play conservatively at Jacksonville.It was the perfect formula against the self-destructing Jaguars.Bradley Roby returned an interception 51 yards for a touchdown, and the defending Super Bowl champions beat the mistake-prone Jaguars 20-10 on Sunday and gained ground in the AFC playoff picture.Roby picked off Blake Bortles wobbler across the middle in the third quarter -- star linebacker Von Miller hit Bortles as he released the ball -- and went untouched the other way. It was one of three turnovers for Denvers defense.They were exceptional, Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said.It was the 11th pick-6 of Bortles three-year career and his third in the past four games. Houston and Detroit also returned interceptions for touchdowns in games the Jaguars lost by fewer than seven points.Its the biggest nightmare possible, said Bortles, whose 37.9 quarterback rating was the worst of his career.But what are you going to do about it? You cant sit there in a corner and pout. You cant blame people. You cant feel sorry for yourself because I think all thats going to do is affect the way I play. ... All you can do is put your head down and continue to play as hard as you can and prepare each week.Bortles latest pick-6 resulted in a seventh consecutive loss for Jacksonville (2-10) and secured another miserable milestone for the small-market franchise.The Jaguars became the fifth team in NFL history to post double-digit losses in six consecutive seasons, joining Tampa Bay (1983-94), Detroit (2001-06), Oakland (2003-09) and Cleveland (2008-13).Jacksonville had a chance to tie in the final minutes, but Bortles fumbled trying to make a play in the pocket.The Broncos (8-4) rebounded from an overtime loss against Kansas City, and with Miamis loss at Baltimore, moved into position to get one of the conferences wild-card spots.They did it without quarterback Trevor Siemian , who missed the game with a sprained left foot. Rookie Paxton Lynch made his second career start and first on the road. Denver didnt ask him to do too much. He didnt need to, either.The Broncos scored all 20 points with help from Jacksonville, including two turnovers and two 15-yard penalties.Denver was 1 for 13 on third downs and finished with just 206 yards, the fewest allowed in Jaguars coach Gus Bradleys four-year tenurre.ddddddddddddIt was the franchises fewest since giving up 146 yards in a victory against Baltimore in 2011.Were playing good defense right now, said Jaguars defensive tackle Malik Jackson, who played his first game against his former team.The Broncos were gouged on the ground for 154 yards, but the defense made several game-changing plays.Robys interception was the key. It was huge for the third-year pro who gave up a late touchdown to New Orleans two weeks ago and surrendered an 11-yard catch on fourth-and-10 last week against the Chiefs.There was no way we were going to lose this game late like we did last week, Roby said.SPECIAL TEAMS WOESThe Jaguars continued their streak of special teams gaffes. Reserve tight end Alex Ellis was flagged for unnecessary roughness on a punt return in the final minute of the half. His 15-yarder set up Brandon McManus 32-yard field goal and put the Broncos ahead 10-3. It also gave Jacksonville a major meltdown on special teams for the seventh consecutive week. The streak includes five fumbled punts -- including three turnovers -- a punt return for a touchdown and two long punt returns that set up scores.HELPING HANDSJaguars receiver Allen Robinson continues to help his opponents. Robinson dropped his sixth pass of the season and his third that resulted in an interception.Just trying to make a play, Robinson said. For me, again, each and every Sunday I try to go out here and try to make plays.Robinson bobbled a deep pass from Bortles down the left sideline, and it landed Harris Jr.s hands for Bortles 14th interception of the season. Robinson, a Pro Bowler last season, also bobbled passes that ended up as picks against Chicago and Oakland earlier this season.Robinson finished with three catches for 31 yards. It looked as if he was tackled before the ball got to him on a fourth-down play early in the fourth, but the play didnt draw a flag. Robinson ripped off his helmet to yell at an official and was flagged unsportsmanlike conduct.Sometimes youve got to let it out and that happened, he said. Ive never been this frustrated playing the game of football in my life.UP NEXTBroncos: Play at Tennessee on Sunday.Jaguars: Host Minnesota on Sunday.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jerseys Store Cheap Jerseys Store Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap Stitched Jerseys Cheap NFL Gear Wholesale NFL Womens Jerseys Cheap NFL Black Jerseys Cheap NFL Autographed Jerseys Wholesale Stitched Jerseys Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys Outlet Youth NFL Jerseys Cheap Cheap Jerseys Throwback Wholesale NFL Autographed Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
