DAYTONA BEACH, FLA.

Driving a car he believes

is unbeatable, Dale Earnhardt Jr. added to his family legacy at Daytona International Speedway on
the anniversary of his fathers death.
Earnhardt won the first
qualifying race Thursday
night for the Daytona 500
to earn a starting spot on
the second row for NASCARs biggest event.
It was Earnhardts 17th
career win at Daytona
International Speedway.
The late Dale Earnhardt
leads all drivers with 34
career victories at Daytona. He was killed on the
final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500.
Its another win at
Daytona for the Earnhardts, adding to the legacy, Earnhardt said in
victory lane. Were up
here in the 50s now.
The No. 88 Chevrolet
that Hendrick Motorsports
brought to Daytona won
three times last year, and
Earnhardt admitted after
the qualifying race that he
allowed himself to daydream about winning as a
tribute to his father.
I try not to make too
big a deal I told all you
guys how much I like people to remember dad and
talk about dad, he said.
Im guilty of daydreaming
a little bit, about winning
this race tonight because
of the day. Thats very
special to me. I was glad
that nothing bad happened
and we didnt tear our car
up because that would
have been embarrassing
on a day like this.

PITTSBURGH

With Evgeni Malkins

lower-body injury lingering
longer than expected and
his teams offense suddenly sputtering, Pittsburgh
Penguins coach Mike Sullivan decided to pair Sidney
Crosby and Phil Kessel on
Thursday night against
Detroit hoping to find a
spark.
The results were immediate. And they werent
limited to the top line.
Kessel scored twice,
Crosby had a goal and an
assist and the Penguins
received contributions
from all over while racing
by the Red Wings 6-3.

Obviously, (Crosby) is
going really good right
now, Kessel said. Hes
carrying our team right
now and I just try to hop on
that.
Kessel wasnt the only
one. A dozen Penguins
picked up at least one
point. Matt Cullen added a
goal and an assist, Ben
Lovejoy scored his first
goal since November and
Scott Wilson got the first
goal of his career for Pittsburgh, which never trailed
while gaining valuable
ground in the jumbled
Eastern Conference playoff
race.
I think that were playing a smart brand of hockey, Lovejoy said. Were
being smart with the puck
going through the neutral

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.
Kortney Dunbar made two
critical baskets in the last
two minutes as Tennessee
rallied to beat Mississippi
after blowing a nine-point,
fourth-quarter lead.
Dunbar hit a layup to put
the Lady Volunteers ahead
for good with 1:36 left.
NO. 25 MICHIGAN STATE

PISCATAWAY, N.J.

Aerial Powers scored 27

points with 14 rebounds
and Michigan State beat
Rutgers.
Powers was 15 of 17 at
the line for the Spartans
(19-7, 10-5 Big Ten).

Dale Earnhardt Jr.,

Kyle Busch win
Sprint Cup champion, won
the second qualifying race,
but several contenders
wrecked their prized cars
in a last-lap accident.
Busch was trying to hold
off Jamie McMurray on the
final lap and briefly
blocked him. McMurray
moved up the track for
another try, but Jimmie
Johnson was in the same
space and Johnson
bounced off the wall to
trigger a multi-car accident.
Among those who
wrecked strong race cars
were Johnson, Matt Kenseth and Martin Truex Jr.,
who will all have to go to
backup cars for the Daytona 500. Kenseth had
earned a front row starting
spot for Sundays seasonopener, but hell now forfeit it because of the crash.
It wasnt clear how
much damage Kurt Busch
and McMurray sustained,
but Stewart-Haas Racing
said it would not go to a
backup for Busch.
Only two spots were up
for grabs in the 500 one
in each qualifying race.
Michael McDowell earned
the spot in the first race,
while Robert Richardson
Jr. earned the final transfer
spot. Richardson only got
the call two weeks ago
from BK Racing to attempt
the Daytona 500.
I was at home working
on my ranch, said Richardson, who added every
dollar he earns this weekend will go into a college
fund for his newborn son.

production as his full-time
job at a ranch in Pilot
Point, Texas.

zone and because of that,

when the skill plays are
there, were taking advantage, and when theyre
not, were making the soft
play behind the defenseman and making them turn
and its a really hard brand
to play against.
Marc-Andre Fleury
stopped 35 shots and the
Penguin improved to 7-1 in
their last eight home
games. Pittsburgh is 9-1-2
in its last 12 games overall.
Rookie Dylan Larkin
boosted his team-leading
goal total to 19 for Detroit.
Tomas Jurco and Henrik
Zetterberg also scored for
the Red Wings, who struggled defensively for a third
straight game. Petr Mrazek
made 27 saves, but Detroit
has given up 11 goals com-

bined in his last two starts.

It just happens, Mrazek said. Sometimes shots
go in. You have to find a
way to stop those pucks
and there were some lucky
bounces. We just need to
battle hard and get a win in
the next game.
Pittsburghs offensive
surge that started with a
comeback win in Detroit
on New Years Eve had
cooled recently without
Malkin, who hasnt played
since Feb. 2. The Penguins
managed just two goals in
their previous three games
coming in, even with Crosby logging heavy minutes.
Kessel and Crosby played
together briefly earlier in
the year. Sullivan reunited
them for the first time
since he took over for Mike
Johnston in mid-December. The two stars eventually got it going, but only
after their more unheralded teammates gave the
Penguins some early momentum.
Lovejoys innocent flip
toward the Detroit goal
deflected off Red Wings
forward Darren Helm and
past Mrazek 9:56 into the
game for Lovejoys first
score in 34 games. Jurco
responded with a wrister
from between the circles to
tie it before a scramble in
front of the net ended with
Cullen pushing the puck by
Mrazek late in the period.
The 19-year-old Larkin
evened it 2:19 into the
second by racing in to poke
a rebound by Fleury. The
tie lasted just 24 seconds as
Crosby drew three Red
Wings to him and slipped a
pass to Kessel. Fleury preserved the lead midway
through the period during a
spectacular sequence in
which he made three
sprawling saves, the last
with his stick on the goal
line as Detroits Justin
Abdelkader pushed the
goaltender into the net.
