SPARTA, Ky. -- Storms washed out qualifying at Kentucky Speedway on Friday, putting Kevin Harvick on the pole for Saturday nights Sprint Cup Series race based on owner points.Severe weather moved over the track near midday and shortened practice to around 30 minutes. A brief sprinkle followed but cars were able to return to the track for practice.In any event, Harvicks No. 4 Chevy will lead the field to green alongside Brad Keselowski in the No. 2 Ford.It is the first Kentucky pole for Harvick, who has two top-5 starts in five trips here. But he and other drivers likely will have to reboot their strategy after rain washed the 1.5 mile tri-oval clean of the rubber they put down in hopes of widening grooves on the resurfaced and reconfigured track.Hopefully, being able to get some more practice will be beneficial, Harvick said. We still dont really have a good idea of exactly where we need to be as far as balance and what is going to happen the longer you run the car.Given the 2014 champions consistency this season, Harvick seems likely to figure it out.Harvick hasnt won since the fourth race at Phoenix, but he has posted 13 top-10 finishes in 17 starts. He has led the points after the past eight races but has generated less buzz compared to counterparts such as Keselowski or defending champion Kyle Busch, who are tied with a series-best three wins.Harvick thinks his steady results will translate into victories.We are cleaning a lot of things up as we go from week to week, he said, and hopefully we are ready as we get into the Chase and have everything hitting on all cylinders. I feel good about the performance and good about the progress that we have made with adjusting and adapting, and the things that we have been able to achieve have been OK. Hopefully we can keep making them better.The rest of the top 10: Kurt Busch (Chevy); Joey Logano (Ford); Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Carl Edwards and Kyle Busch in Toyotas; Martin Truex Jr.?(Toyota); rookie Chase Elliott (Chevy); Jimmie Johnson (Chevy) and Denny Hamlin (Toyota).Johnson and Kurt Busch will race in backup Chevys after wrecking their primary cars. Johnsons No. 48 got loose in Turn 4 in the morning session and smacked the outside wall, sustaining heavy damage after posting the second-fastest speed of 188.121 mph. Busch hit the wall in the final evening practice and went to his backup No. 41 Chevy. Both drivers will move to the back of the field per NASCAR rules.Toyota and Chevy both have four spots in the top 10 with seven drivers coming from three teams. Harvick is joined by Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Kurt Busch, while Johnson has company in Hendrick Motorsports stablemate Elliott. Hamlin, Edwards and Kyle Busch will represent Joe Gibbs Racing.Though Keselowski is tied with Kyle Busch for the most Kentucky wins with two each, dont be shocked if Penske Racing teammate Logano breaks through. He was second last July and has three consecutive top-10s with 60 laps led combined the past two years.Cup cars will feature a different Goodyear tire package from last months test after the manufacturer noticed blistering afterward. The new package is harder with the right-side tire using the same construction as the one used at Michigan. Harvick crew chief Rodney Childers voiced his displeasure with the change Thursday with a tweet that said, We will never ever go test for 2 days on an off week again, on the wrong tires.Keselowski seemed to like the change, saying Friday that the tire change seems to have not only been warranted, but very successful. We havent seen any issues as of now, but of course that can always change throughout the weekend. Kenta Maeda Womens Jersey .

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Rex Ryan said Monday that he was trying to get inside the heads of those within the New England Patriots organization when he claimed Sunday that he had sources within the team that told him Jacoby Brissett would start at quarterback in the Buffalo Bills 16-0 win at Gillette Stadium.Absolutely [I had sources], as far as you guys know, a smiling Ryan said Monday. Thats just great. Because, man, I stirred the pot. Because you know theyre sitting back and going, Who is it? Who is it? I was B.S.-ing the whole time.If people were worried about it, thats awesome. Thats good. Let them think they got [someone inside].The Patriots did not reveal their starting quarterback until Sunday morning, when they declared Jimmy Garoppolo (shoulder) as inactive and Brissett, who had a thumb injury, as their only active quarterback.However, Ryan said after the game that he was given inside information in advance.My sources inside the New England Patriot building saiid that Jacoby Brissett would be the quarterback, the Bills coach said.dddddddddddd How about that? Ill stir some stuff up. Who was it? Who was it? I dont know who it was.While Ryan was willing to stir the pot about Brissett, he tread carefully Monday when discussing a pregame fight that involved a group of Bills defensive backs and Patriots players and coaches.It had nothing to do with the outcome of the game, Ryan said. We were there for one reason and one reason only, and that was to win a football game, which we can check that box off. So you can remember that.Patriots receiver Danny Amendola, who was not involved in the fight, was upset about the altercation Monday.It pissed me off, Amendola told WEEI Radio. Im not going to forget about that. ... Were going to see them again.The Patriots and Bills meet again Oct. 30 at New Era Field. ' ' '
