TORONTO -- Jimmy Vassers return to competition at Toronto was short-lived after a hard landing in one of Robby Gordons trucks sent the former champion to the hospital for X-rays. Vasser was scheduled to run both Saturday and Sunday in the Gordon-owned Speed Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks series, but only made it through two laps in Saturday mornings practice because of a rough landing. Vasser said he did exactly the opposite of the instructions Gordon gave him before practice for the series in which trucks slide through the corners and jump ramps that make the trucks sail 50 feet through the air. "Robby told me to lift off a bit before the ramp, and then power up the ramp," Vasser said. "Apparently I didnt lift enough, and I powered more than I should have. I looked out the window and I was over the fence line and it was pretty cool -- until I landed and the whole truck hit the ground, and my back went crack, crack, crack." IndyCar orthopedic specialist Dr. Terry Trammell sent the 1996 CART champion to a hospital for X-rays. Vasser said the X-rays looked fine at the hospital, but the pictures were sent back to the track for Trammell to give a second opinion. "I can barely sit. It hurts," Vasser said. "Were still waiting for Trammell to take a look at the X-rays, so I wasnt cleared to drive. But Im in no shape to drive." Vasser, who co-owns Indianapolis 500 winner Tony Kanaans car, was using a soft padded stool to sit on while he called Kanaans race from the pit stand. He was replaced in the truck by former IndyCar driver Davey Hamilton. Vasser said he would like to try Gordons series again. "It was my first time, Ill do it again, as soon as I can," Vasser said. "It was totally my error. I think its a great series, the fans love it. They are very excited to watch the jumps and see the trucks slide around. I think Robbys got something with this series."

Zack Kassian Oilers Jersey . After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and dropping back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back by playing its most complete game of the year. Dan Mugford kicked 14 points on his home debut as Sale Sharks returned to winning ways with a 19-10 victory at home to Harlequins, who had Mat Luamanu sent off late on.Mugford -- who missed a crucial last-minute penalty in Sales opening-weekend defeat at Newcastle Falcons -- enjoyed a perfect kicking game at the AJ Bell Stadium to add to David Seymours try.Former England captain Chris Robshaw went over for the visitors and Nick Evans kicked a conversion and a penalty, but constant indiscipline hampered their efforts in a stop-start game.No sooner had the game begun than there was a lengthy delay when TJ Ioane was knocked out in a tackle with Kyle Sinckler and Joe Marler.When the game restarted, Harlequins early play was characterised by big hits and handling errors, and it was one of the latter which led to the games first score.Mike Phillips big up-and-under was knocked on, and when Sam Twomey was penalised for not rolling away, Mugford slotted over the 40-metre penalty.Debutant Paolo Odogwu endeared himself to the home crowd early on, twice skipping through tackles to get Sale good territory, but twice it came to nothing.They did not have to wait long for their next points though, the pressure from a rolling maul telling after 14 minutes, allowing Mugford to make it two kicks from two.Indiscipline at the breakdown continued to hurt Quins and Mugford took full advantage from the ttee as Sale opened up a nine-point lead in the 21st minute.dddddddddddd.Harlequins responded well and after a series of penalties deep in Sale territory - all of which they kicked to touch - Robshaw barged over from close range, with Evans converting.With the visitors looking fluent, more Sale indiscipline saw Jonathan Mills sin-binned in the 32nd minute but there was no further change to the score before half-time.Sale refreshed their pack shortly after the restart and the changes paid off almost immediately.Owen Evans was sin-binned when a big rolling maul was stopped illegally, and when Mugford kicked to touch from the resultant penalty, another big drive ended with Seymour going over in the 51st minute.Mugford kicked the difficult conversion and, though Nick Evans long-range penalty pulled three points back for Harlequins, the visitors were in more trouble after 57 minutes when Sinckler was sin-binned.Mugford slotted the penalty over to once again open up a nine-point lead, before more indiscipline cost Harlequins dearly as they chased a way back into the match.Replacement Luamanu was sent off for a shoulder charge in the 71st minute after a long consultation with the TMO and Sale, with their man advantage, held on for their first win of the season.
