NASCAR announced Tuesday that if a noncharter team makes the Chase for the Sprint Cup, it will get a guaranteed starting spot for the entire 10-race Chase.Only the 36 charter teams are guaranteed spots in the 40-car field during the regular season, with four spots open to noncharter teams based on qualifying.One of those noncharter teams has a driver, Ryan Blaney of Wood Brothers Racing, who is contending for a Chase berth. Blaney is 16 points outside the current Chase cutoff with 10 races left in the regular season.Earning a berth in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup is extremely difficult and requires consistent elite performance, said NASCAR senior vice president Jim Cassidy. Those teams should be guaranteed an opportunity to race for the title, and this ensures that will be the case.NASCAR also announced that if qualifying is rained out, owners points, and not practice speeds, would determine which noncharter teams make the race.Vapormax Saldi . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over .

Youre trying to get to know the guys all at the same time, while here in Edmonton everyones so close.I definitely feel more comfortable in this dressing room than that one.Oilers coach Todd McLellan said the phenom is ready to handle the pressures that go along with the title of captain.Hes mature beyond his years, so hes dealt with all of you since he was 14, McLellan said Wednesday. He handles himself very well and takes care of his teammates in front of and with the media, which we think is very important in a Canadian franchise.He had 16 points and 32 assists in his rookie season in 2015-16 despite missing 37 games with a broken collarbone.He showed that he was ready to take charge, McLellan said.The native of Newmarket, Ontario, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 draft, will follow in some big footsteps as captain, including those of Hall of Famers Wayne Gretzky and Mark Meessier.ddddddddddddMcDavid previously served as captain of the Ontario Hockey Leagues Erie Otters. He said hes not the most demonstrative leader, preferring to lead by example.Im definitely not the most vocal guy in the room, McDavid said. I think Im a guy who can relate to everyone, and I try to lead that way. Im not the big `rah rah kind of guy.McLellan said he sees similarities between McDavid and Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, who also was handed the C when he was 19.Hes an ambassador of the game, McLellan said of McDavid. He understands his role.McDavid said back in August that he wanted to show everyone that Im not some 18-year-old kid anymore.Though he missed almost half of last season, McDavid performed on a level not seen from an 18-year-old since Crosby.The Oilers hope a healthy McDavid and a revamped roster will put an end to their decade-long postseason drought.Edmonton hasnt qualified for the playoffs since 2006 and was last in the Western Conference last season despite the notable additions of McDavid, McLellan, and Cam Talbot, a No. 1 goaltender who offered rare stability in the crease.The Oilers made more changes in the offseason, acquiring reliable defenseman Adam Larsson and 6-foot-3, 233-pound bruiser Milan Lucic. They also selected Finlands Jesse Puljajarvi with the fourth overall pick at the June draft. ' ' '
