MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -- Six-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson has some clarity regarding his pit road penalty last week in Phoenix.He wants even more.Theres been quite a few voicemails back and forth, Johnson said Thursday as NASCAR previewed its upcoming championship weekend. Theres been enough texting and voicemails back and forth communicating, so I have a better understanding.Johnson plans to delve deeper into the rule when drivers get to Homestead-Miami Speedway on Friday.I still look forward to (Friday) and understand what would lead to that again in the future and how aggressive theyre going to be in calling that week after week, stop after stop, Johnson said.NASCAR picked last week at Phoenix to enforce a rule against passing the pace car when a driver dips onto pit road for a stop. Johnson and Martin Truex Jr. were penalized for the infraction, and the punishment was holding the car for a lap on pit road.I just want consistency is all Im after, Johnson said.Fellow championship contender Kyle Busch said there have been times before races that officials told drivers that passing the pace car would be allowable, at tracks like Richmond and Martinsville. The defending NASCAR champion added that he saw a video this week showing how close he was to passing the pace car at Homestead last year, which could have been a costly penalty.Somebody was trying to point out that it looked really, really close of me coming down Homestead for the final stop last year where I was right even with the pace car, Busch said. It was hard to tell whether I was in front or behind him, but it was close enough where I guess maybe I was given the benefit of the doubt in that situation. But I never throttled up like Jimmie did even to keep those guys behind me. If you look at the film, I got everybody bottled up and theyre all nose to tail beating the bumpers off of each other coming to pit road. It wasnt like I gassed it up.I guess its just all in how its perceived and how it looks, so dont make it look bad.---More AP auto racing: www.racing.ap.orgCheap Steelers Jerseys .

With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Western Sydney skipper Nikolai Topor-Stanley has backed coach Tony Popovic to lead the club to a repeat A-League grand final this season despite another overhaul of their playing roster.Almost half of the line-up who fell to Adelaide in last seasons grand final have left Blacktown, giving the club an entirely new feel heading into the summer.It is the second time in as many years the former Asian Champions League winners have undergone a major surgery on their playing squad.But Topor-Stanley, who will miss Saturdays season-opening derby against Sydney FC through suspension, says last years success is proof Popovic can rebuild on the run.Theres a lot of changes but its something weve learnt to accept, Topor-Stanley told AAP at Tuesdays season launch in Sydney.Everyone that has come in has accepted the philosophy of the coach and training methods.Aside from the last FFA Cup game, weve won every game. We were in good form and we are still in good form. Weve only got one injury in the squad and everyone else is available.Were heree to follow his lead and hes always going to be the one to set the tone and standards.dddddddddddd Thats why weve made three grand finals in a short amount of time.Topor-Stanley copped an automatic one-game ban for his dismissal in their FFA Cup loss to Melbourne City but was still looking forward to what was likely to be a record-breaking crowd.More than 60,000 are expected to descend on ANZ Stadium on Saturday night, when the Wanderers marquee man Nicolas Martinez will line up against Sky Blue rival Bobo.Topor-Stanley is expected to slot straight back into the line-up in the grand final rematch against Adelaide away from home the following week.Its pretty terrible timing. But you accept it ... he said of his ban.Hindsights a great thing but things happen at the blink of an eye. You accept it and move on. Ill be there supporting the boys. It should be a great moment for club football in Australia. ' ' '
