SONOMA, Calif. Josh Morrissey Jersey . -- Carl Edwards has never been known for his road racing skills -- to the point team owner Jack Roush had to send him testing in a two-seater so Boris Said could teach him the basics. A decade later, Edwards finally has a win to show for his hard work. And, he beat road racing ace Jeff Gordon to get to Victory Lane on Sunday at Sonoma Raceway, where Gordon leads all drivers with five wins. "My road racing progression, its been a pretty long climb," Edwards said. "The real special part to me was to stand in Victory Lane at Sonoma and have Jeff Gordon come and give me a handshake as the second-place finisher. I grew up watching Jeff Gordon, and specifically watching how he drove this race track and all the successes he had here, so I mean, thats really super. Its something Ill never forget." Edwards win made Roush Fenway Racing the unlikely organization to end Hendrick Motorsports five-race winning streak. And, the win came a week after Roush was shut out at Michigan, where the organization failed to put a car in the top 10 for the first time since 2000. Edwards took the lead on a restart with 25 laps remaining and seemed to have the win wrapped up until Gordon nearly chased him down on the final lap. Gordon had one good look at Edwards and couldnt pull off the pass. "That last lap was ugly," Edwards said of trying to hold off Gordon. It wasnt a terrible day for the Hendrick organization, which had won every Sprint Cup Series race since Gordons victory at Kansas on May 10. Instead, HMS settled for all four of its drivers finishing in the top seven. Gordon, the Sprint Cup Series points leader, wound up second. He said he made one mistake in overdriving a turn with about five laps to go that allowed Edwards to build a healthy lead. "I just couldnt put enough pressure on him," Gordon said. "I think had I put some more pressure on him, I saw him really struggling with the (tire) grip level, but he did everything he needed to do. That last lap, I gave it my best effort and closed up on him and he didnt overdrive it. I was hoping he might slide up and Id get a run on him." Dale Earnhardt Jr. was third after rallying from an incident that wrecked Matt Kenseth, and was apologetic on the radio and after the race. "I tried to screw it up a couple times in the race, but I calmed down and was able to get a good finish," Earnhardt said after his career-best finish on a road course. "I got into Matt, I jumped a curb and jumped into the air and just ran into him. Totally my fault. I hope hes not sore with me." Kasey Kahne bounced back from an early flat tire to finish sixth and Jimmie Johnson was seventh. In all, Chevrolet drivers took spots two through seven as pole-sitter Jamie McMurray, using a Hendrick engine, finished fourth and Paul Menard was fifth. Fords rounded out the top 10, led by Edwards, Marcos Ambrose eighth and Roush driver Greg Biffle was 10th. The highest-finishing Toyota was Clint Bowyer in 11th. Bowyer was the leader on a restart with 31 laps to go, was passed by Ambrose, and then got a flat left rear tire. The tire problem led to Jamie McMurray turning Bowyer, and as Bowyers car was stopped in the middle of the track, bottleneck traffic caused Kevin Harvick to run into Bowyer. "We got ourselves in position and had a flat. It was going down and I was all over the place," he said. "Jamie just kind of finished me up and got me out of the way. Bad luck, man." Edwards win is his first career victory on a road course, and hed never been higher than third at Sonoma. More important, it was his second win of this season and locks him into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field. It was Edwards 23rd win of his career, the 135th Sprint Cup Series victory for car owner Jack Roush, and it made Edwards the 10th consecutive different winner at Sonoma. Crew chief Jimmy Fennig said the race played into their hands after pitting with 40 to go and then a caution came out and Fennig made the call to not bring Edwards in a second time under yellow. The strategy moved Edwards toward the front of the field and he moved his way to the front. "When you got somebody like Carl behind the wheel, and you put him out front, hes going to get it done," Fennig said. "To have two wins right now and to be locked in really feels good."

In taking questions for the first time since Ted Wells released his report into the bullying scandal that rocked the league, Philbin made it clear things would be cleaned up. Joel Armia Jersey .Y. -- The Detroit Red Wings had just enough time to salvage a point. http://www.hockeyjetsauthority.com/brandon-tanev-jets-jersey-c-31/ . According to TSN Edmonton reporter Ryan Rishaug, agent Rick Valette met with Oilers senior VP of hockey operations Scott Howson and general manager Craig MacTavish on Monday to kick off the talks.MANCHESTER, England -- The wall of fame of Manchester United managers still informs Old Trafford visitors that a "new chapter has begun" under David Moyes. In reality, it was a short, painful chapter in United history that will cost around $90 million, the club disclosed on Wednesday. Although the museum display hasnt been updated, its been more than four months since Moyes was fired before completing a season as Alex Fergusons successor. The task of restoring the former glories is with Louis van Gaal, and the club told investors on Wednesday that the former Netherlands manager needs to deliver a top-three finish in the English Premier League. United executive vice chairman Ed Woodward is certain Van Gaal, who won titles with Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, has begun to reinvigorate the club. "The 2013-14 season was a very challenging and disappointing one," Woodward said. "But under Louis there is a real feeling at the training ground that we are at the start of something special. We are very excited about the future." After 26 years under Ferguson, there have been two new chapters in a year. Still searching for his first win after four matches in charge, this manager has to get it right. In its annual financial results, United said it cost 5.2 million pounds ($8.4 million) in compensation to fire Moyes and some of his coaching staff after just 10 months in charge. United, which is owned by the Glazer family and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, remains a commercial juggernaut, with 2013-14 revenue up 19 per cent to a club record 433.2 million pounds ($699 million). But the failure to qualify for Europe under Moyes by finishing seventh has led United to forecast revenue in 2014-15 to drop by 10 per cent -- around $80 million -- to as low as 385 million pounds ($619 million). "Our budgets assume a third-placed finish," Woodward said. Underlying profit is also forecast to drop from 130.1 million pounds ($210 million) to between 90 to 95 milliion pounds ($145 to $153 million), although the debt which angered fans after the 2005 Glazers takeover has fallen to 341.

But the 20-time English champions have been spending heavily in a bid to arrest the decline, reinvesting the sponsorship revenue, which soared by 50 per cent to 135.8 million pounds ($219 million) in the year to June 30. The accounts show 78.9 million pounds ($127 million) spent on players, including the signing of Juan Mata in January for 37.1 million pounds (then $61 million). The wage bill rose by almost 20 per cent to 214.8 million pounds ($345 million). Since the end of the financial year, United has spent more than $200 million, including a British record fee of 59.7 million pounds ($99 million) to sign Argentina midfielder Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid in an attempt to improve Uniteds position. Despite the investment in foreign talent and sale of academy graduates -- including striker Danny Welbeck to Arsenal -- assistant manager Ryan Giggs said the club remains committed to youth development. At least one homegrown player has featured in every United matchday squad since 1937 -- a statistic that covered Giggs before he retired from playing this year. "The club will never change. The history of the club is to play exciting football, always give youngsters a chance," Giggs said at the SoccerEx conference in Manchester. "Danny has left, which is obviously disappointing because you never want to see a homegrown player leave ... but we have got to make sure young players come through because United fans demand it." But there will soon be further sponsorship cash to spend on transfers. Next years accounts will reflect the start of the seven-year $559 million shirt sponsorship with Chevrolet, but an Adidas kit deal, worth potentially 75 million pounds ($121 million) a year, doesnt start until 2015-16. "Commercially, we continue to go from strength to strength," Woodward said.
