WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. -- Denny Hamlin wasnt about to get shoved aside again.Ignoring what he described as the worst pain he has ever felt in a race, Hamlin prevailed in a four-lap dash to the checkered flag Sunday to win the wreck-filled Sprint Cup race at newly paved Watkins Glen International.Its the first road course win of Hamlins Cup career and atoned for his stunning loss on the road course at Sonoma in June, when he was beaten by Tony Stewart with a bang on the last turn.Its very hard to win these races, Hamlin said. I only made one mistake at Sonoma, and I didnt win.Hamlin was virtually flawless at The Glen and was able to conserve enough fuel at the end, thanks to eight cautions for 20 laps. The race also had two red-flag stoppages for 30 minutes.We executed perfectly. Didnt make any mistakes on pit road, Hamlin said. Hoping for those caution laps that we needed. That allowed us to make it on fuel.That Hamlin was behind the wheel of the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota was in doubt before the race. He was in pain when he awoke.Knew I was in pretty big trouble, said Hamlin, who has undergone two knee surgeries in his career. I was thinking under the [last] red flag Lets get this over with so I can get out of this car.The race was shaping up as another duel between Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch in the closing laps. But a rash of late cautions shuffled Busch back.Keselowski restarted with the lead with 25 laps to go in the 90-lap race, and Busch stalked him in second as the leaders began turning the fastest laps of the race around the 2.45-mile layout with the end in sight.The sixth caution flew on Lap 78 for a blown engine and erased a five-second lead the two leaders had built over Hamlin, Martin Truex Jr. and Joey Logano, who was seeking his second straight sweep of the Cup and Xfinity races at The Glen.Keselowski lost the lead on the restart when both he and Busch overdrove the first turn, a 90-degree downhill right-hander, and Hamlin sneaked past to take the lead before another caution flew.When I saw them move forward and lunge into the corner, I knew there was no way for them to get out with any sensible speed, Hamlin said. It was my opportunity.Hamlin held a slim lead over Truex and Keselowski as the three ran nose-to-tail entering the final turns of the race. Keselowski spun Truex in the last turn and Hamlin coasted to the victory.Logano finished second, and Keselowski, AJ Allmendinger, Stewart and Busch completed the top six.We got ourselves in position to win the race, but I didnt have the speed to make it happen, Logano said.Jeff Gordon drove the No. 88 Chevy for Hendrick Motorsports in relief of Dale Earnhardt Jr. for the third straight race and finished 14th in his 800th career start after an early accident. Earnhardt is recovering from a concussion and is expected to miss at least two more races.Buescher survives: Despite a pit road penalty and a late crash, Chris Buescher remained on the cusp of making the Chase for the Sprint Cup title after finishing 30th, one lap down. The surprise winner last week in the rain at Pocono came to Watkins Glen six points outside the top 30 in points, a requirement for making the postseason Chase, and now trails David Ragan by three points. Ragan also was involved in a crash and finished 33rd.You know, for us, kind of hoped wed get a lot more than what we did, Buescher said. Its a bummer the way it worked out.Infractions, infractions: NASCAR increased the number of timing lines on pit road at Watkins Glen from six to 14 this year, and it ended up costing a lot of drivers a lot of time. Of the 31 infractions handed out, seven were for speeding. A tire out of the pit box was costly for pole sitter Carl Edwards. He led the first 25 laps, suffered the penalty on his first pit stop, and finished 15th after getting spun in an altercation with Ragan and Clint Bowyer.The crash: There were two more crashes coming out of the sweeping carousel turn coming to the backstretch. The big one came when Ricky Stenhouse Jr. lost control of his No. 17 Ford coming out of the sweeping right-hander and skidded across the track. Jimmie Johnson slammed hard into Stenhouse, and Greg Biffle and Austin Dillon also were involved. Johnson finished last.That crowd: While most NASCAR venues dont attract the crowds they used to, Watkins Glen, with its fantastic finishes, remains an exception. The track announced its second straight grandstand sellout. Although attendance figures arent released, the crowd estimate was just under 100,000.Im sure the fans loved it, Logano said. It was pretty cool when I pulled over for the red flag in front of the grandstands and I could hear just fans screaming and yelling and loving it. I thought, Man, this is really cool to be in the drivers seat right now. Up next: Night race at Bristol on Aug. 20. Logano is the defending winner.

MONTREAL -- The World Anti-Doping Agency has released its 2017 list of prohibited substances for athletes, adding a drug used for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and eating disorders to its catalog of banned stimulants.The substance, known chemically as lisdexamfetamine, is part of a family of drugs that stimulate the central nervous system.Other substances used to treat ADHD, including methylphenidate, were already on WADAs prohibited list as specified stimulants, meaning they cant be used by athletes without a prior therapeutic use exemption.Nicomorphine, an opioid analgesic drug available in parts of Europe and which is converted to morphine following administration, was added to the list of banned narcotics.WADA noted in the list it released early Friday that it was putting Codeine on its monitoring program so that researchers could establish patterns of use for possible performance-enhancement.All athletes around the world are held to these standards and there can be no tolerance for people who intentionally break the rules, WADA President Craig Reedie said in a statement. Updated annually, the list is released three months ahead of taking effect so that all stakeholders -- in particular athletes and their entourage -- have ample time to familiarize themselves with the list and its modifications.The most-discussed addition in 2016 remained on the prohibited substance list for next year.Meldonium was added to the list from last Jan. 1 and resulted in a two-year ban for Russian tennis star MMaria Sharapova, who was among hundreds of athletes who tested positive at the start of the year in results that forced WADA to conduct more research on the substance and extend no fault findings to athletes who tested positive for low concentrations of the drug.dddddddddddd.Sharapova tested positive for the endurance-boosting drug at the Australian Open in Melbourne in January and is appealing her ban.The Latvian-made drug was used in parts of eastern Europe to treat heart conditions but was not approved for use in the United States. It increases blood flow, which improves exercise capacity by carrying more oxygen to the muscles. There is significant debate among doping experts over whether meldonium, also known as mildronate, actually enhances performance.WADA director general Olivier Niggli said the latest list was published after nine months of reviews.Experts examine such sources as: scientific and medical research; trends; and, intelligence gathered from law enforcement and pharmaceutical companies in order to stay ahead of those that wish to cheat, Niggli said. It is vital that all athletes take the necessary time to consult the list; and that they contact their respective anti-doping organizations if they have any doubts as to the status of a substance or method.Online: https://wada-main-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/...7-eng-final.pdf ' ' '
