INDIANAPOLIS -- Kyle Busch spent Saturday climbing in and out of brutally hot cars in Indianapolis. Cheap Hunter Bradley Jersey .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. Cheap Green Bay Packers Jersesys .

KINGSTON, R.I. -- After coasting through its first two games, No. 21 Rhode Island finally played a team that wasnt out of contention by halftime.Jared Terrell scored 18 points and E.C. Matthews added 17 as the Rams staved off upset-minded Brown on Wednesday night in Round Two of the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off.This is the first time we got challenged since weve been on the court, Rams coach Dan Hurley said. Its the first time we were in something tight where we had to make some plays.Some mind-boggling things went on. We got out-hustled. I think we were a little full of ourselves today and this was the perfect opponent for us to get upset. Can this be a positive for us? Yes.Steven Spieth paced the Bears (1-2) with 21 points while Brandon Anderson added 16. Hassan Martin added 12 points for the Rams (3-0).We knew we would be challenged and that if we took care of the ball we would have had a chance, Brown coach Mike Martin said. In a game like this, every possession is critical and we had a few empty chances in the second half.After trailing 36-21 in the first half, Brown pulled within 41-33 at intermission as Spieth scored six points in the last 27 seconds.Obviously Im happy to survive the game, Hurley said. My hats off to Mike and his team. He had his guys really ready to play.They were really scrappy. I thought Spieth was the best player on the court. On our end Im disappointed because we had several chances in the first half to extend it and get away like we did in our first two games.Even though Rhode Island shot 57.7 percent from the field in the second half, the fact Brown switched from man-to-man to a zone defense still gave the Rams trouble.At one point Brown trailed 58-53 before Martin and Matthews ignited a rally that enabled Rhode Island to pull away.Great teams at that point get separation, Hurley said of his teams first-half play. I have much respect for the way their guys shhowed up and competed. Packers Jersesys Outlet. BIG PICTUREBrown: The Bears tied for last last season in the Ivy League. But they may have delivered a message that this scenario wont be repeated after they upset Niagara 77-67 in their home opener on Nov. 13 and played Rhode Island tough on Wednesday.Rhode Island: Season-opening routs of Dartmouth and Marist enabled the Rams to move up two spots in the Top 25 poll, to No. 21. Logic dictates their road will become more difficult to traverse as the season progresses.POLL IMPLICATIONS: At the least the Rams didnt hurt their standings in the poll but how much this hard-fought victory will enable them to move up is debatable.HIGHLIGHT REEL: Martin continues to guard his teams basket like it contains the crown jewels as he blocked six shots which gave him a total of 262. That number ranks second among all active NCAA Division I players.TURNING POINT: The Bears had sliced their deficit from 15 points to 58-55 with 10:39 left in regulation. But Martin blunted that rally by sandwiching a dunk and a tip-in around a free throw by Matthews.FRESHMAN STANDOUT: Browns Anderson, who had only scored three points in his first two games, finished with 16 points and four rebounds with four steals.UP NEXTBrown should be favored when it faces Marist on Saturday in the Springfield Bracket of the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
