INDIANAPOLIS -- Kyle Busch spent Saturday climbing in and out of brutally hot cars in Indianapolis.All that work finally got him back to a pretty cool spot in victory lane -- and some ice cold water.After claiming two poles Saturday afternoon, Busch returned to the track and led all but one lap to win his second straight NASCAR Xfinity Series victory at the track by 0.415 seconds over hard-charging Kevin Harvick. Paul Menard was third, 1.338 seconds off the pace.Id like to hope so, the 2015 Cup season champion said after being asked if he can keep this up after earning his seventh Xfinity win this season and record-extending 83rd of his career. I dont know exactly how many (races) I have left, thats changing every day. But, hopefully, with whatever we have left, we can have the same amount of success weve had here.Busch has been virtually unbeatable on Indys 2.5-mile oval all weekend.He posted the fastest practice times in both the Xfinity and Sprint Cup Series on Friday, won the poles, captured the first of two heat races to establish the rest of the starting order and put himself in position second straight sweep of the two races in Indy.No NASCAR driver has ever won both poles and both races here.The only prize Busch didnt get his claim Saturday was the $100,000 dash-for-cash prize, which he was ineligible for. That payout went to fifth-place finisher Justin Allgaier -- who was the best of the non-Cup regulars. Allgaier said the thermometer in his car reached 137 degrees.How dominant has Busch been?The Joe Gibbs Racing star held off two former Brickyard 400 winners and one, Harvick, couldnt even catch the leader after taking new tires during the final caution period, which extended the race to 63 laps.The difference: Buschs perfectly-timed restarts.New tires for those guys were good for them, not so much for us, Busch said after completing the final 36 laps without a stop. On the restarts, the second-to-last one was really good. The last one was OK.It was at least good enough.Busch only surrendered the lead once -- when he pitted after 27 laps -- and retook the lead when Brendan Gaughan made his pit stop.The only other time Buschs lead was even in jeopardy came after rookie Roy Black Jr. hit the wall in the second turn, slid down the track and was hit by Harrison Rhodes, bringing out a caution six laps to go.Harvick, who drives for Stewart-Haas Racing, and Kyle Larson, who drives for Chip Ganassi Racing, both stopped and changed tires. But they wound up battling one another so hard, they couldnt catch Busch.Our goal was to overachieve today, and we did that, Harvick said. We had a couple of good restarts and wound up second. Not a bad day.Even if Buschs day was much more rewarding.I think our chances are pretty good, Busch said, referring to the Brickyard 400. Starting up front means a lot here in Indy. I think our Toyota today was strong, I think our Toyota tomorrow will be even stronger. Firmino Liverpool Jersey . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The easy thing for the Saunders family to do would have been to walk away.Flip Saunders fingerprints are all over the Minnesota Timberwolves -- from the players on the roster to the new scoreboard that hangs in the arena. One year after his death, his presence is still a strong one at Target Center, and it would have been understandable if his family wanted to step back from the organization while grieving the loss of their patriarch.Ryan Saunders could have easily found another coaching job. He didnt. He is still here, coaching the roster that his father had such a critical role in assembling.Rachel Saunders could have found another job in the corporate world. She didnt. Shes still here, working as manager of team services for the front office that her father rebuilt from the ruins of the previous regime.Debbie Saunders could have retreated to her home in the Minneapolis suburbs, avoiding the place her husband devoted so much of his time to restoring. She didnt. She bought four seats just behind the Timberwolves bench so she could be there to watch the young men Flip drafted, traded for and signed continue to grow up in front of her eyes.I was nervous to go back in there this year because time has passed and life goes on, Debbie Saunders told The Associated Press. The minute I got back in there, it felt right again. Its obviously different, but some things are the same.They are a basketball family that has endured a crushing loss. Flip Saunders died on Oct. 25, 2015 from complications related to Hodgkins lymphoma. He was one of Minnesotas most beloved sports figures, a gregarious and outgoing coach and salesman who turned one of the NBAs woebegone franchises into a family reclamation project.His death rocked the organization and the league. It shook the foundation of a tight-knit family that includes daughters Kimberly and Mindy, who sit right next to their mother at the games to this day. A year later, they have endured many of the firsts that make moving on so difficult.This year has been a struggle, Debbie Saunders said. I dont know. I guess I thought I would be a lot further along than this with handling it. But it has been a struggle.But one thing is clear: the Saunders family isnt going anywhere.Still grappling with the loss of his father and best friend, Ryan Saunders politely declined to comment for this story. But he did say in July that leaving Minnesota never crossed his mind because I believe in this organization. I believe in the guys. My relationship with the players is great. Minnesotas home. Familys here. Fiancees here. Minnesotas home.He is working under Tom Thibodeau now, providing some continuity for the new head ccoach.dddddddddddd Thibodeau was one of the most sought-after coaches in the league this summer, and he jumped at the chance to come to Minnesota in large part to the promising young core that Flip and his staff assembled.He was such a great guy and we all miss him, Thibodeau said. I had spoken with him a few times, and I had a pretty good idea of what he was trying to do. It was a well thought-out plan. He did a great job selecting Karl (Towns) and Andrew (Wiggins) and Zach (LaVine) to build the future with. The vision for the organization was real good.The family has also established the Flip Saunders Legacy Fund, dedicated to giving back to the community. They have already helped disadvantaged kids with meals during the summer, held a basketball clinic in Flips hometown of Cleveland and will work to refurbish some basketball courts that have fallen into disrepair.While they are putting all of that into motion, Debbie will keep coming to Target Center to watch the pups Flip picked grow as Wolves.As a mom, as Flips wife, I kind of feel a sense of duty to them, too, to be there and support them, she said. Because I know thats what Flip wouldve wanted. And it feels right to do that.One might think it would be painful to return to a place with so many stark reminders. But the family has found comfort in familiarity. They noticed when Memphis Grizzlies coach David Fizdale wore a FLIP pin in the preseason game last week and take heart in the hugs they get from ushers and security guards who have known them for years.And as difficult as this past year has been for them, there are still moments of light. Debbie smiled this week thinking about the World Series, pitting Flips Cleveland Indians against her hometown Chicago Cubs.Its kind of a house divided and I cant help but chuckle over that because I was so happy for Flip that the Indians got there, she said. But now Im like, `Oooh, as a Cubs fan, boy Cubs fans have been waiting for this for so long.Target Center is being renovated now, and Flip played a big role in the new design. When Debbie first walked into the arena last week, she looked up toward the rafters and saw a glowing moon that had been there for years had been replaced by a video screen.Flip just did not like that moon, Debbie said. And I said, `Why Flip? Why dont you like it? He said, `I just dont like it. I just dont like it at all.He never gave me an explanation. But now its gone and its a screen there. Theres some things that actually made me smile.One year later, and Flip Saunders is still getting things done. ' ' '
