BRISTOL, Tenn. -- Austin Dillon figured fourth place was about all he could get Friday night until the old Brad Keselowski-Kyle Busch rivalry reared up at Bristol Motor Speedway.Keselowski hit the back of Buschs car as the defending Sprint Cup champ tried to clear him from the lead, cutting down a tire and sending Busch into the wall four laps from the scheduled end. Then just as suddenly Keselowski ran out of gas during the caution -- leaving a happily surprised Dillon out front to win the Xfinity race in overtime Friday night.I was actually just enjoying what was going on (up front) trying to get there, Dillon said about the chaos.For the last 50 laps, the race looked like a classic faceoff between Busch and Keselowski who no one would consider friends.While Keselowskis tactic to many diehards was just a traditional Bristol bump-and-run, its sure to stir up a Busch-Keselowski tussle thats frequently goes from zero-to-60 in seconds.Keselowski described Busch as another name for a donkey during driver intros at Bristol in 2010. Keselowski detailed their rocky relationship on and off track in a blog last year.The two get a chance to tangle once more here Saturday night in the Sprint Cup event.We were battling really hard and definitely didnt want to see it end that way, Keselowski said.Hes a dirty racer, Busch responded when asked by ESPN.Dillon didnt care about the circumstances only that he was broke cleanly in the green-white-checkered finish to beat Justin Algaier in second and Kyle Larson in third.Even when they were pushing us, we had to remain calm, said Dillons crew chief, Justin Alexander. Things unfold and youre sitting there pretty much where you need to be.Larson had led for 200 of 308 laps, but was overtaken the Keselowski and Busch.Dillons younger brother, Ty Dillon, made it a three-car race as he mixed it up between the two Sprint Cup champs. In fact, it was Ty Dillon, who emerged on top when that trio raced three-wide on Bristols slippery, tight track. But Dillon couldnt sustain his edge and his chances ended for good when he hit the back of Buschs slowed machine.Dillon thought the Keselowski-Busch dustup might increase the walk-up sales for Saturday nights next round. We should sell some tickets tomorrow night, he said.All the fussin and fuedin up front was just fine with Dillon, who won his eighth career Xfinity victory and first at Bristol.It was just a war of attrition and we had a pretty good car, Dillon said. Maybe not the fastest car, but the car that won.WHOS HOT: Justin Algaier figured on finishing seventh until the late chaos lifted him to second. It was his fifth top-10 finish in his past six Xfinity races at Bristol.WHOS NOT: Daniel Suarez, who had a strong run at Bristol Motor Speedway ruined for the second time in three days. Suarez led 77 laps in the truck series here Wednesday night when a late crash doomed him to 29th. He led Xfinity practice Thursday and was bidding for a top-10 finish when another accident knocked him back.THEY SAID IT: Ive never seen the fans get that involved in something like that that really wasnt a major deal, nobody wrecked each other in a caution or something like that. But fans were definitely getting excited, runner-up Justin Algaier said of the Busch-Keselowski tangle.THE BIG ONE: Teammates Erik Jones and Daniel Suarez clipped each other on lap 245, causing significant damage to the two Joe Gibbs Racing entrants. Jones, the pole sitter, was running ninth at the time. The crash collected four other cars. Jones had won the Xfinity race here this past April.UP NEXT: Road America, Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, Aug. 27. Paul Menard is the defending race winner. Air Max Tn Ultra Plus .

It was Kerbers third final of the year after losing to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia in Monterrey in April and to Petra Kvitova of Czech Republic in Tokyo two weeks ago. The 10th-ranked German improved her record in finals to 3-5. NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Rotating defensive linemen or even outside linebackers to keep players fresh to rush the quarterback is nothing new in the NFL.The Tennessee Titans have extended the practice and are alternating four players at the two safety positions.The rotation includes listed starters DaNorris Searcy and Rashad Johnson, plus special teams captain Daimion Stafford and rookie third-round pick Kevin Byard.Defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, a Hall of Fame player and longtime coach, approached Titans coach Mike Mularkey with the idea before the season after all four players performed well through the offseason and training camp.We just thought we had a group of safeties that had complementary skill sets, and they were all pretty good athletes. And if we can keep them really fresh and really sharp in the fourth quarter, like you want your defensive line, we would take that, LeBeau said. I checked with coach Mularkey and he thought it was a good idea, and its been good for us.LeBeau rotates the safeties usually by series, or in an extended drive, rather than situationally.It was a great idea, Mularkey said. I think theyre all playing good football for us. They all have a little bit to each of them, and obviously if youre playing a lot you feel like youre a bigger part of it. Our guys have really contributed the way we hoped.Johnson leads the foursome with 22 tackles followed by Stafford with 20, Searcy 17 and Byard 14. Stafford has the only interception in the group.Even though it means fewer snaps each game, the players have bought in to the concept knowing the payoff is having more stamina in the fourth quarter. The Titans (3-3) currently rank ninth in the NFL in total defense and 11th against the pass with Indianapolis (2-4) visiting Sunday.A lot of us pllay on special teams too, so it keeps everybody fresh, Searcy said.dddddddddddd My reaction, me being an older guy, I know it takes a lot off your body because youre not out there hitting. It keeps everybody fresh and able to play.Johnson, in his eighth NFL season, has adapted well to a lesser role even though he had never rotated in and out of games before this season.At the end of the day, it just keeps you locked in and focused for the entire game, because you never know what type of situation you may get thrown in, Johnson said. It keeps guys on their toes.LeBeau and the Titans defensive coaches may have been planting the seeds of this rotation as far back as May.They said, `Some days we dont know how the rotation is going to be. Were going to call it out on the sideline and youve got to run in and be ready to play, Johnson said. I think they were kind of preparing for something like this, knowing they had so many guys that could play the position.One player benefiting the most might be Byard, a rookie from Middle Tennessee. He played the most snaps of the four in last weeks 28-26 win over Cleveland.My confidence is building up every game, Byard said.Game notes The Titans listed only two players on their injury report, and both are expected to play. Tight end Anthony Fasano and cornerback Brice McCain were on the report after sitting out Wednesday with ankle injuries. Both were full participants on Thursday and Friday. The Colts listed 19 players on their initial injury report and have already ruled out seven players for Sundays game.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
