Editor's note: This story was originally published on Feb. 1, when ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson intended to retire. On March 8, Johnson made his retirement official.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Retire the notion that Calvin Johnson will end up being a first-ballot Hall of Famer. His nine-year career puts him on the fringe of Hall of Fame consideration, but more could be needed to make this a no-brainer on the first try.
This stunning news brings back memories of Detroit Lions great Barry Sanders. Sanders was a shoo-in for Canton, but his accomplishments are a bit beyond where Johnson is sitting. Sanders went to 10 Pro Bowls in 10 years and rushed for 15,269 yards, third-best all time. He was No. 2 at the time of his retirement, and could have reached No. 1 if he had kept playing.
Johnson, 30, is a seven-time Pro Bowler and made the most of his time in the league. Only Torry Holt and Jerry Rice caught more passes than Johnson in the first nine years of any receiver's career. Johnson had 11,619 career yards; for receivers younger than 31, only Randy Moss has more.
Johnson's tally of 46 100-yard games since 2007 is the most in the NFL. Among players who have played at least 100 games, Johnson has the best yards per game average (86.1).
In short, Megatron was a monster. In Hall of Fame voting, though, it's not only how you start, but also how you finish -- in seasons and in careers. Johnson's work could be considered unfinished for some.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Johnson has the most receiving yards (11,619) and the most touchdown receptions (83) for any player in NFL history not to win a playoff game. Hall of Fame voters also have struggled for years with wide receivers. The game in the 1970s was geared toward running, not passing. As a result, receivers didn't put up the huge numbers, and it took decades to get the best receivers of the 1970s enshrined.
The passing numbers seen in the current era are staggering. Seven receivers caught more than 100 passes this season. It took Michael Irvin 12 years to catch 750 passes. Charlie Joiner caught 750 in 17 seasons. Johnson needed nine to get to 731, but some of the new, younger receivers such as Odell Beckham Jr., Antonio Brown and Julio Jones might be able to top 700-750 yards in eight. That's how the game is evolving.
Those numbers work against Johnson. Marvin Harrison passed through a couple of years of votes without success before getting elected to the Hall in February, and he has 1,102 catches for 14,580 yards. Henry Ellard (13,777 yards) and Holt (13,382) top Johnson, and they didn't make the list of 15 finalists for this year's Hall. Terrell Owens has the second-most yards in NFL history, yet he was not elected in February, his first appearance on the Hall ballot.
It won't help Johnson if Owens, Ellard and Holt don't get in sometime in the next five years. Johnson might have needed more time on the field to think Hall of Fame. A playoff win also would have helped.

I'll improve race relations by taxing millionaires says Bernie in battle with Clinton for crucial black votes at Democratic debate
Bernie Sanders said tonight that he'd 'absolutely' improve race relations in America beyond where they are now under the nation's first black president by increasing taxes on the nation's wealthy.
Sanders said the Democratic debate, his second head-to-head with Hilary Clinton, that African Americans - and Latinos - were 'hit especially hard' by the 'disastrous behavior on Wall Street' and they 'lost half of their wealth' when it collapsed.
'We are looking at an economy in which the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. And sadly, in America today, in our economy, a whole lot of those poor people are African-American,' he declared.
Scroll down for video
Bernie Sanders said tonight that he'd 'absolutely' improve race relations in America beyond where they are now under the nation's first black president by increasing taxes on the nation's wealthy.
'I think President Obama has set a great example. I think he has addressed a lot of these issues that have been quite difficult, but he has gone forward. Now, what we have to do is to build on an honest conversation about where we go next.' Clinton said
PBS moderator Judy Woodruff took his argument a step further and asked if he thought race relations would be better than they've been under President Barack Obama.
'Absolutely, because what we will do is say, instead of giving tax breaks to billionaires, we are going to create millions of jobs for low-income kids so they're not hanging out on street corners,' Sanders said. 'We're going to make sure that those kids stay in school or are able to get a college education.'
Continuing, he said, 'And I think when you give low-income kids - African-American, white, Latino kids - the opportunities to get their lives together, they are not going to end up in jail. They're going to end up in the productive economy, which is where we want them.'
Moments before Sanders had cited a 35 percent poverty rate among black children, a 51 percent youth unemployment rate and 'unbelievable rates of incarceration' that separates black children from their parents and and said 'clearly, we are looking at institutional racism.'
The the focus of tonight's debate quickly turned to minority voters who could make up a large portion of the Democratic Party in South Carolina and Nevada, the next states to vote, and a string of southern states that visit the ballot box on March 1.
Sanders has made outreach to prominent black figures a priority of agenda ahead of those contests and tonight he went out of his way to note how his economic policies and criminal justice reform policies would affect black and Hispanic communities.
He had breakfast with activist Al Sharpton yesterday in Harlem, and former NAACP chief Benjamin Jealous endorsed him last Friday.
The Congressional Black Caucus PAC endorsed Clinton today, however, giving her a powerful boost from famed civil rights leader and Georgia Congressman John Lewis.
Clinton's lost to Sanders in the New Hampshire primary by 22 percentage points - but there, hardly any minorities voted.
Nevada's caucus is next, and Sanders will face his first test among non-white voters. Nevada has a 28 percent Latino population, and nearly 9 percent of the state is African-American. Another 8 percent are Asian-American.
Prior to his win in New Hampshire Clinton was ahead of Sanders by nearly 20 percentage points there. She's also in front of him in South Carolina, where 55 percent of the state's Democrats are black, and 35 percent are black women.
Clinton is running to be the first woman president but so far, Sanders has kept time with her in that demographic. She barely won women in Iowa and lost young women to the 74-year-old senator. In New Hampshire he beat her in both categories.
'I have spent my entire adult life working toward making sure that women are empowered to make their own choices even if that choice is not to vote for me,' Clinton said tonight in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as she addressed her inability to win over women.
Her husband's former secretary of state Madeleine Albright did her no favors when she said at a rally in New Hampshire last, 'There's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other.'
Clinton laughed tonight as she was asked about it as she did when Albright delivered the line at her event and said, 'Well, look, I think that she's been saying that for as long as I've known her, which is about 25 years.
'But it doesn't change my view that we need to empower everyone, women and men, to make the best decisions in their mind that they can make,' she said.
Hillary Clinton came armed with a fun face: For the first time in history a majority of debate participants were female including the former secretary of state and debate moderators Gwen Ifill (left) and Judy Woodruff (right)
The conversation on race relations started when Woodruff told Clinton that a 23-year-old black woman recently told her she was disappointed that race relations did not get better under President Obama.
'Hardly anyone believes that they have. Why do you think race relations would be better under a Clinton presidency?' she asked. 'What would you do that the nation's first African American has not been able to?'
'Well, I'm just not sure I agree completely with that assessment. I think under President Obama we have seen a lot of advances,' she said, pointing to the Affordable Care Act, which 'has helped more African Americans than any other group to get insurance.'
And thanks to social media and smartphones, 'we also know a lot more than we did,' Clinton stated. 'So, we are seeing the dark side of the remaining systemic racism that we have to root out in our society.
'I think President Obama has set a great example. I think he has addressed a lot of these issues that have been quite difficult, but he has gone forward. Now, what we have to do is to build on an honest conversation about where we go next.' she said.
The criminal justice system must be reformed, she said, and more should be done 'to provide employment, housing and education.'
'I think what President Obama did was to exemplify the importance of this issue as our first African American president, and to address it both from the President's office, and through his advocacy, such as working with young men, and Mrs. Obama's work with young women,' she said.
But Clinton added, 'We can't rest. We have work to do, and we now know a lot more than we ever did before.'
Debate in Milwaukee aired at 9:00 p.m. EST and was moderated by a pair of PBS anchors
'So, it's going to be my responsibility to make sure we move forward to solve these problems that are now out in the open. Nobody can deny them.'
The debate over who would do more to improve the fortunes of the nation's African Americans dominated the first half of the debate, followed by a question about the size of government that threw Sanders for a loop.
He struggled to say how much his proposals will grow the government, twice ducking the issue, at the start of the Milwaukee debate.
Sanders ran down the list of challenges the U.S. faces - crumbling infrastructure, soaring college tuition - but was not able to able to put a number on it.
Hillary Clinton used the opening to point out that progressive economists say he'll expand the role of the federal government by 40 percent.
And, the numbers on his healthcare plan don't add up - families will not pay $500 in place of the $5,000 they are paying now, as he's claimed, she said.
'That is a promise that cannot be kept,' Clinton charged. As she put forward her own plans for when she's in the White House, Sanders countered and said, 'Secretary Clinton, you're not in the White House yet.'
WAITING IN THE WINGS: Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is licking his chops to face either Democrat in a general election matchup - both brough t him up tonight as he rallied his own supporters in Baton Rouge, Louisiana
MINORITY REPORTING: Bernie Sanders needs help from black and Hispanic voters and he's getting a boost from meeting with Rev. Al Sharpton yesterday
PBS anchors Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff moderated the debate in Milwaukee.
Immigration and financial regulations were among the issues also touched upon in the first hour of the debate, with the later half focusing on foreign policy.
Clinton and Sanders both jumped behind President Obama's directives on illegal immigration, and Sanders said he'd issue even more if Congress remains stalled on reforms.
'We've got to stand up to the Trumps of the world who are trying to divide us up.' he said, and provide a path toward citizenship for illegal immigrants.
Sanders was referring to GOP front-runner Donald Trump who was rallying his own supporters in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at the time and unable to respond in real time via Twitter.

Mr John Roberts, stop spreading lies.
Why would you say subscriber base will shrink, it's almost doubled over the last year. RIMM is cash flow positive and if they didn't spend huge amounts on R&D they would make a profit, which they will next year. BB10 will be a big new player, as people are getting sick and tired of APPL and Android product, life goes in a big cycle, RIM may still end up on top after all of this. Look at APPLES track record, they were nearly bankrupt, until the new Iphone 1 came out, which has seen ZERO innovation since it's inception, other then some apps and camera upgrades.
Why don't you short it my friend. We will see who's laughing next year.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
"RIMM is cash flow positive and if they didn't spend huge amounts on R&D they would make a profit, which they will next year"
wow, how short-sighed is that statement, even by rimtard standards.
even they didn't have declining revenue, marketshare, margins, units... they might make a profit.
Trader 007 or Mr Bond? I understand that you don't like my post, but can you offer us any insight as to where you think I'm being somehow untruthful or misleading? I've stated facts - there will be 2 Q earnings results before we see any tangible evidence of BB10 success. Where will RIM and RIMM be then?
BB10 may be a hit, but we'll not know for several months and in the meantime, who'll buy an old Bold or Torch? Nobody.
Love to engage you but your anger is apparently clouding your judgement.

Policing Chemicals in the Supply Chain
An Outlook of What to Expect 2010-2013
More sustainable products depend on more sustainable materials coming from a supply chain. The spirit – or level of enthusiasm – for sustainable materials and stewardship in industry can be gleaned from looking at sales trends and projections for technology companies who make software for managing supplier materials data. Typically this software is marketed for environmental regulatory compliance and an overall greener supply. The fact that the market is growing tells us something.
Based on such industry-watching, the past two years in managing greener materials in a supply chain has shown steady growth– while projections for the two years right ahead suggest a tsunami.
–Chemicals in a material world: 2010 – 2011 In 2010 and 2011, businesses were catching on to the fact that policing chemicals in a product supply chain network is the next step in sustainability and stewardship. As such, more strategically oriented companies implemented not just chemical management systems but systems with proven supplier communication automation capacity, standardized data formats and analytics.
–2012 to 2013 forecast 2012 should see continued expansion of chemical risk management initiatives and its technology-solution market, with serious acceleration in Q4.
2013 will be feverish in materials management. This is largely because there is a major REACH regulation deadline in 2013. Plus there are other market drivers strengthening and preparing to blow ashore that year, including GHS rulings, Green Chemistry, California Prop 65, and quakes in the California supply chain.
By the close of 2013, companies who have already implemented quality assurance / compliance programs will find that compliance with REACH, TSCA and GHS is a routine aspect of doing business.
–Trigger happy Over 83,000 chemicals are registered for use in the US. Managing those – with all their combinations and possibilities, as well as the associated risks to the environment, to workers and to a brand, is paramount.
Many companies are laggards when it comes to implementing quality systems to handle supplier data. This is understandable given the lack of reliable and meaningful consequences for insufficient product quality or insufficient regulatory compliance.
But three triggers get businesses moving towards a supplier chemical management program:
- Media buzz about specific toxic chemicals, like the link discovered between TCE and Parkinson's, where businesses rush to get a handle on similar chemicals in their own supply chain
- When it can be shown that chemical management saves money/trims fat
- Whenever EPA moves, even flinches or breathes, in the direction of TSCA
- A major RoHS or REACH regulation milestone in Europe
2012 will see gradually increasing activity in all these corners. The steady supply chain materials management buildup trend will continue accordingly. Companies proactively managing their own material disclosure – rather than waiting for outside regulatory agencies to describe it – either have moved already or will move first and fastest.
Then, 2013 will mark a surge in companies' ingredient crackdown as supply chain materials management oriented regulations worldwide reach significant crescendos. And that will just be the beginning. Because managing supply chain materials data is at the core of the next generation business model.

Gordon's love for Charlotte lasting, 22 years after first win
Photo credit: Charlotte Motor Speedway CONCORD, N.C. – With its close proximity to race shops, Charlotte Motor Speedway is known as the home track for most of the NASCAR community. But Tuesday's gathering at the 1.5-mile speedway had more of a tourist feel, as fans hailed from places near and far. There was the man from Bakersfield, California, – "Harvick country," he states proudly – the fan from Switzerland, the Canadian couple and everyone in between. They wore different numbers on their shirts and spoke with different accents, but they were all there to see one man. Mr. Jeff Gordon . The FOX Sports analyst and four-time NASCAR champion helped celebrate the 10 Days of NASCAR Thunder leading up to Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 (6 p.m. ET, FOX, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) by taking photos with 100 Charlotte ticketholders. Despite Gordon's retirement following his championship run last season, the fandom was as feverous as ever, as each visitor itched to exchange a few words with the former No. 24 driver. "It's slightly different (now) because many of them say a lot of the same things, 'I wish you were out there,' (or) 'I miss you being out there,'" Gordon said of the fans. "But I'm getting a lot of great comments about being up in the booth, so it's nice. I'm enjoying myself, so I think it comes across in the broadcast and interacting with the fans, I get to hear that from them as well." Gordon and the fans stood on the roof of the infield's Champion's Pavilion, the spot providing the group a birds-eye view of the quad oval. The track is impressive; a feeling Gordon reciprocates, as he recalls the first time he laid eyes on it. "I think it doesn't mean the same to everybody," Gordon said, "but for me, the very first time I ever came to North Carolina … when I drove by this facility, I was blown away. I'd seen Indianapolis Motor Speedway , but beyond that, I'd never seen anything that looked like this. Just the appearance of it put me in awe." Gordon found success at Charlotte early in his career, earning a runner-up result in his first race at the North Carolina track in 1993. And on Sunday, he'll broadcast his first Coca-Cola 600 ; 22 years after he earned his first-ever win in the Cup Series in the '94 running of the 600-mile event. The win put Gordon on the racing map and made folks wonder about this young "kid" from California who was driving nose-to-nose with Dale Earnhardt. RELATED: See all the winners of the longest race in NASCAR But Gordon's love affair with Charlotte began before the Victory Lane celebration. "When I drove a stock car here for the first time, I just fell in love with it," Gordon said. "I love the way the track flows, the banking, the grip level, bumps and everything that comes along with it. And of course, winning my first race, having it happen in the 600." The longest race on the Cup circuit, the Coca-Cola 600 has long been revered as one of NASCAR's biggest races – one of the sport's "Majors," as Gordon says. "Daytona, here, Brickyard, maybe a Southern 500 , some would also say Talladega." Gordon said, rattling off a list of stock car racing's biggest events. "But this is a big, big deal to win this race. To me, it's probably second or third ranking in our series as far as most prestigious events." Winning the coveted Coca-Cola 600 trophy is no easy feat – the man who has won three of those races can tell you that. With the cars being more advanced today and eliminating some of the physical aspect, Gordon emphasizes the continued need for mental toughness. "You're talking about a minimum of four hours being in the car," Gordon said. "Pit crews, crew chiefs, everyone's on edge, not just the drivers … (They're) pushing the limits every single lap, which is not the way it used to be. You used to pace yourself and be able to manage the tires and your car and you could still be competitive at the end of the day – if you were in one piece. "That's not the case anymore – it's just all out. So, that mentally drains you by pushing that hard for that period of time." RELATED: Gordon embraces new career with 'contagious' energy The task of taming a 600-mile monster is daunting, especially for younger drivers. Gordon's No. 24 replacement Chase Elliott will attempt the feat, as he prepares to make his second Coca-Cola 600 start. Elliott, now in his rookie season, started 28th and finished 18th in the 2015 Coca-Cola 600 , then driving the No. 25 for Hendrick Motorsports . As for any advice from the former boss of the No. 24? Gordon said his 20-year-old successor doesn't need it. "I haven't had to give him much advice on the race track," Gordon said. "He's a natural … He gets better every weekend. "I'm excited for that 24 team. I had to defend a lot with fans being upset about them keeping the No. 24 and I said, 'Just wait, just wait, I think you're going to be proud of the results.' And now, I'm starting to see everybody's now saying, 'What a great replacement for the 24!' " Gordon's statement was validated by fans sporting Elliott-themed shirts earlier, one young boy in particular wearing a blue No. 24 NAPA hat. This fan will likely grow up knowing Elliott -- rather than Gordon -- as the driver of the legendary No. 24 Chevrolet. It's a mark of a racing transition, a generational shift. And Gordon loves it. "Listen, I love seeing the sport grow," he said. "I'm still heavily involved in the sport, not just from the FOX side, but from Hendrick Motorsports . And I think the sport is amazing right now. The racing is as good as it's ever been. We have some great young talents. Not to mention veterans that are doing great things … I'm all for bringing new fans and seeing fans get excited about it, people like Chase or Ryan Blaney or Kyle Larson . "I support it 100 percent."
Kenny Humpe shows the way at Charlotte
Kenny Humpe (The TEAM) once again showed everyone why he is the defending NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze Series champion, leading 168 of 200 laps en route to a dominant victory at Charlotte Motor Speedway . Humpe started on pole and was only challenged by Ray Alfalla (Slip Angle Motorsports) before a late caution created a five-lap dash to the finish. Humpe and Alfalla, along with nine others, chose to stay on the track for the shootout and hoped their track position would overcome worn tires. Corey Vincent (Overclock Motorsports) had been fast throughout the race and was the first car on four tires, restarting 12th. When the green flew, Humpe shot out to the lead as Vincent began to quickly pass cars using the top groove in Turns 1 and 2. However, Vincent's run was cut short when Nicholas Johnston (HPM) and Dylan Jones (Nexxus) sparked a massive crash exiting Turn 2, causing the race to end under yellow. Humpe took the win over teammate Justin Bolton, who came on strong in the second half of the race, with Alfalla coming home third ahead of PJ Stergios (ineX Racing). Dylan Duval's fifth place result made it three cars from The TEAM in the top five. Vincent could only manage eighth on the abbreviated last run, but almost surely would have won if the race stayed green to Lap 200. The race started with an 82-lap green flag run, complete with two rounds of green flag pit stops. Humpe and Alfalla were in another zip code early on with Alfalla the only sim racer within seven seconds of the lead by Lap 60. After a yellow on Lap 83 for Adam Gilliland's (Aftermath Motorsports) spin, Alfalla found new life in his car and challenged Humpe for the lead as the race approached the halfway point. Humpe was too strong though and held Alfalla at bay using the momentum from the outside lane. The middle segment of the race had its share of carnage as cautions broke-up the runs and led to some differing strategies when everyone pitted on Lap 120. On this round of stops Trey Eidson opted for just right side tires and inherited the lead while Humpe had a bad pit stop and found himself fourth on the restart behind Bolton and Alfalla. Humpe grabbed third from Alfalla on the restart before a huge crash in the back of the field brought the pace car out yet again. On the following restart Humpe was on the move again, this time picking off Bolton after just one lap and setting his sights on Eidson for the lead. Eidson and his old tires did not stand a chance as Humpe reeled him in after only four laps, but the pass for the lead nearly ended in disaster for both drivers when they went for the same piece of track off Turn 2 and made contact. The impact sent Eidson into the wall, damaging his car, while Humpe continued unscathed and leading once again. The last 65 laps were paced comfortably by Humpe, save for Alfalla having one more go for the lead with 11 laps remaining. As was the case earlier in the race, Humpe held-off the two time champion on the top as passing on the bottom proved difficult on old tires. Despite missing-out on the victory Alfalla built on his championship lead and now sits 14 points ahead of PJ Stergios as the 2016 season reaches the halfway point. Humpe continues his rise up the standings and is now 58 points back in third. After a 14th place finish last night, Jake Stergios is fourth while Vincent rounds out the top five. With the first half of the season in the books the NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze Series has a five-week break before starting the second half of the season at Chicagoland Speedway on June 28. The break, along with a new iRacing build due for release before the race, could shake-up who has speed when cars return to the track. Can Alfalla continue on his way to a third championship? Or, can Humpe continue his hot streak and complete an unprecedented comeback to win his second title in as many years? Be sure to catch the sim racing action when the NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze Series reopens for business the evening of June 28 in iRacingLive!
NASCAR to honor fallen troops with 600 Miles of Remembrance
DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. (May 23, 2016) -- Continuing the sport's long-standing tradition of honoring the United States Armed Forces, all 40 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers will bear the name of a fallen service member on their race car windshields during Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway (6 p.m. ET on FOX, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio), NASCAR announced today. For the second consecutive year, "600 Miles of Remembrance" will pay tribute this Memorial Day Weekend to those who bravely served and died defending our country. Windshield headers normally reserved for drivers' last names will read "SGT HARVEY," "LCPL RAMIREZ," and "SPC BEAUDOIN," among other names of the fallen. The special tribute will commemorate the launch of NASCAR: An American Salute ™, the industry's collective expression of respect and gratitude for members of the U.S. Armed Forces, past and present. Fans can follow the conversation on social media using #NASCARsalutes. "Each of the names proudly displayed on these race cars tells a story of honor and sacrifice," said Brent Dewar, NASCAR chief operating officer. "As the NASCAR industry reflects on Memorial Day Weekend, we're proud to honor these and all fallen service members in a way that helps ensure their stories and lives are never forgotten." Many of the service members whose names will be displayed on the race cars were chosen by the teams, and some have unique connections to the fallen. Navy SEAL Denis Miranda, who was killed in a helicopter crash in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2010, trained in BUD/S alongside Graham Molatch, jackman for the No. 42 Chip Ganassi Racing team. Miranda's name will appear on Kyle Larson 's car during the Coca-Cola 600 . Lance Corporal Scott Lynch served in the United States Marine Corps with Mark Singleton, tire changer for Chip Ganassi Racing , and will be honored on Jamie McMurray 's No. 1 car. Furniture Row Racing employee John Parks served in the Marines with Jeffrey Bohr, Jr., a gunnery sergeant who was killed during Operation Iraqi Freedom and whose name will be carried on Martin Truex Jr . 's No. 78 car. Toyota will also honor the names of fallen service members on its pace cars and grand marshal cars for the Coca-Cola 600 as part of 600 Miles of Remembrance. Many of the families of the service members being recognized will be in attendance at Charlotte Motor Speedway . The track will host more than 6,000 active military members at the Coca-Cola 600 in honor of Memorial Day. Throughout the week, NASCAR: An American Salute will feature various activities demonstrating the industry's support for the military, including: · During Saturday's Hisense 4K TV 300 , NASCAR XFINITY Series drivers will display red, white and blue XFINITY windshield decals on their race cars. · Goodyear will replace the "Eagle" sidewall design with "Support Our Troops" messaging on all tires used during the Memorial Day Weekend races. · NASCAR, Coca-Cola and Mars, through the annual military support program, DeCA, will offer a sweepstakes to shoppers at more than 180 commissaries who will have a chance to win a trip for two to NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion's Week in Las Vegas.

Stewart preps for relief driver switch at Talladega
RELATED: Weekend schedule " Dillon ready for action TALLADEGA, Ala. -- A week after returning to NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competition, Tony Stewart becomes a start-and-park driver. In a manner of speaking. Start-and-watch might be more appropriate. The three-time premier series champion missed the season's first eight points races after suffering a back injury during the offseason. RELATED: Full timeline of Stewart's injury, comeback Stewart is scheduled to start his No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet in Sunday's GEICO 500 (1 p.m. ET, FOX, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) at Talladega Superspeedway before turning over the wheel to XFINITY Series driver Ty Dillon . It's an infrequent turn of events, but something that does happen from time to time in NASCAR. Last season, Erik Jones stepped in for Denny Hamlin at Bristol Motor Speedway after the Joe Gibbs Racing driver developed a neck spasm during a rain delay. Jones finished 26th. Hamlin was also involved in a driver swap at Talladega in 2013. Injured in an accident at Auto Club Speedway , Hamlin started the Aaron's 499 but eventually gave up the seat to Brian Vickers . J.J. Yeley replaced Bill Elliott during a race here in 2011; he also replaced Stewart in '08 during the summer race at Daytona. Stewart, speaking to the media Friday at Talladega, said he expects to do "what I always do around here at the beginning of the race … just ride around in the back until we get to the first caution." It won't be "glamorous," he said, but it meets his doctors' request. Well, almost. According to Stewart, his doctors didn't want him competing at all this weekend. "We need the points and so we talked them into letting us to at least start the race," said Stewart, who sits 101 points out of 30th. MORE: Standings pre-Talladega "I told them it normally doesn't go more than two or three laps at the beginning of the race before a caution. It might go 82 or 83 laps, who knows? But, we'll run until it gets there." Unofficially, the last time a relief driver won a NASCAR premier series race was 1977, and it occurred at Talladega as well. Donnie Allison started what was then a July race but eventually turned the driving over to Darrell Waltrip due to illness. Waltrip replaced Allison with 23 laps remaining and took the lead with six to go when race leader Skip Manning's car suffered mechanical problems. According to NASCAR rules, points earned by an entry are awarded to the driver starting the race, meaning Stewart will be credited with those earned Sunday by Dillon.
Staff picks for GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway
RELATED: See all the cars lined up for Sunday's race Denny Hamlin : If Joe Gibbs Racing can get organized in the same way it did at Daytona in February, the No. 11 could be the winning ticket at Talladega. -- Zack Albert Dale Earnhardt Jr .: Series' best plate racer has had three runner-up finishes this season. He's due. -- Kenny Bruce Jimmie Johnson : This will mark the 10th Talladega race since Johnson last won here and, quite simply, it's time. While his teammates will grab the lion's share of the attention, "Six-Time" will ultimately hold the winner's trophy -- his third. -- Holly Cain Joey Logano : Entering the weekend, I'd already pegged Joey Logano as the favorite -- then he went out and topped final practice. Seemingly due for a win and with a pair of restrictor-plate victories in his back pocket from last year, what more are you looking for? -- Pat DeCola Ryan Blaney : His best Cup finish came in this race last year and Penske, with whom Wood Brothers is affiliated, has taken two of the last three 'Dega races. -- RJ Kraft Dale Earnhardt Jr .: I'm jumping on the Junior bandwagon. He's always the one to beat at the 2.66-mile track and he'll make it difficult for the rest of the field en route to his seventh Cup win here. -- Maggie MacKenzie Brad Keselowski : The 2012 premier series champion spoils the recent Hendrick-JGR show of power, thanks to his own racing ingenuity and plenty of fast Fords with which to partner. -- Brad Norman Brad Keselowski : The Team Penske driver earned his first Cup win in 2009 at Talladega and has won twice more since. Couple that with he and teammate Joey Logano 's history of working closely together on-track -- a crucial element to plate racing -- and 'Dega Victory Lane could be calling Keselowski's name. -- Jessica Ruffin Matt Kenseth : All the bad luck that the No. 20 team has had this year has masked impressive speed. Talladega is about both luck and speed. With the former in hand as shown by his fourth-place qualifying effort, Kenseth is due for a more auspicious turn of his fortune. -- Kathy Sheldon Denny Hamlin : Hamlin saw Victory Lane two years ago at Talladega and with his 2016 Daytona 500 win under his belt, the JGR driver seems ready to dominate another superspeedway this season. -- Taylor Starer Chase Elliott : His dad won here twice and the man who drove the No. 24 before him won here six times. Talladega has been known to produce dramatic moments, so let's root for another one to happen Sunday. -- George Winkler Make your picks in Streak to the Finish !
Race Rewind: Duck Commander 500
Relive all of the best action from Texas Motor Speedway as Kyle Busch takes the lead on the final restart to go on and win the Duck Commander 500 .
Hard luck, near-win heartbreak for Kyle Larson
RELATED: Full race results CONCORD, N.C. – Kyle Larson nearly became the latest driver to go from the preliminary event to the winner's circle of the annual NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race. But a loose-handling car and a hard-charging Joey Logano proved to be his undoing Saturday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway . It's a familiar feeling for the young driver of Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates' No. 42 Chevrolet, who has finished second four times in points-paying races in NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series. RELATED: Larson grabs runner-up finish at Dover Saturday night's 113-lap show wasn't for points, but there was a $1 million payday waiting at the checkered flag. And when the 23-year-old shot the gap on the race's final restart, he zoomed from third to first with less than 13 laps remaining. But Logano ( Team Penske ) was able to track the leader down and after a side-by-side battle, Larson slipped up and into the wall less than three laps from the finish. Logano held on for the victory; Larson limped to the garage, 16th in the final rundown. "I definitely didn't over-correct," a dejected Larson said afterward. "I was just going fast , got loose, lost control and hit the wall. I'm disappointed. I feel like I keep letting my guys down." Larson had qualified for the Sprint All-Star Race by winning a sheetmetal swapping, last-lap battle with Chase Elliott ( Hendrick Motorsports ) in the final segment of the Sprint Showdown preliminary event earlier in the day. The damage done to his car kept his team busy throughout the afternoon, but by the time the red-and-white entry rolled through pre-race inspection for the main event, it looked good as new. And it ran that way, too. RELATED: Larson edges out Elliott " See frame-by-frame of the finish "They worked their tails off after I got all the damage in the Showdown," he said. "We had a really, really good Target Chevy and were able to get to the front pretty quick there to be in the best position possible there for the last restart." After starting the race 18th , Larson ended the first 50-lap segment inside the top 10. He eventually took the lead on Lap 94 and was the race leader after 100 laps had been completed to end the second segment. He restarted third for the final 13-lap dash after only two drivers, Jimmie Johnson ( Hendrick Motorsports ) and Kyle Busch ( Joe Gibbs Racing ), running 12th and 13th respectively, were re-slotted to the front. The top 11 were required to pit. "I was getting looser throughout the race," Larson said. "We were making adjustments but weren't making big enough ones. I just got loose and Joey caught me. "He did a really good job side-drafting me. I tried to hang on his quarter panel like I did with Chase earlier today. I got really loose as soon as I got in the corner." Logano said he knew Larson would "try to suck me around from the outside and I knew I had to drive in to make sure he didn't do that. "Just good hard racing there at the end. It was a lot of fun. He's a heck of a racer. He's going to win a lot of races, that's for sure." Kasey Kahne ( Hendrick Motorsports ) was the last driver to win the Sprint All-Star Race despite not automatically qualifying for it (and having to race in the preliminary event) heading into the weekend, accomplishing the feat in 2008. (Kahne won the Sprint Fan Vote that year.) "I thought clean air would be everything there on four tires," Larson said. "Joey was just really good there that last run; I thought I was better than him most of the race. I don't know, I feel bad. But it's good that we have fast race cars right now. "Just really, really proud of everybody on this team. We were pretty down earlier in the year but we've got cars now and confidence and one of these days it will all come together."

Teen Sailor Abby Sunderland: 'I'd Do It Again'
Her Dream to Sail the World Solo Ended When Her Boat Capsized, but This Adventurer Has No Regrets
Last year that siren call took Abby miles from her home in Thousand Oaks, Calif., in a bid to become the youngest person to sail solo around the world. After a 60-ft. wave crippled her 40-ft. boat on Day 138, leaving her stranded in the Indian Ocean, Abby and her parents withstood intense criticism-she for taking the trip, her parents for letting her (and agreeing to a reality show, which later fell through). Abby hopes her new memoir will change minds. "People who don't grow up with sailing," she says, "don't understand."
The second of eight children, Abby spent much of her youth living on boats while being home-schooled by her evangelical Christian parents. She began skippering yachts with dad Laurence, a shipwright, at 13. "One day these guys on the dock joked I was going to be the youngest girl to sail around the world alone," she says. "I said, 'Why not?'" After a particularly perilous sail, says Laurence, "I asked, 'Still ready to sail around the world?' She said, 'Show me where my boat is.'"
In 2009, the year her brother Zac, then 17, became the first minor to perform the feat, Abby got her parents' permission. A corporate sponsor agreed to fund her, which mom Marianne saw as a sign. "If God provided a way," she says, "then we were good to go." Abby set sail in January 2010, and for the next six months weathered storms and equipment failures but never once considered quitting. "It's the thrill of testing yourself," she explains. "I'm really shy, or I was. I like being alone on a boat-having to rely on myself." Then, on June 10, a rogue wave rolled her boat upside down, tearing off the mast. By the time a French fishing vessel rescued Abby two days later, her parents were battling a different kind of storm. "The most hurtful thing we heard was that we forced her to do this to make money," says her mother. "We can't even get Abby to clean her room."
Now, as Abby completes her senior year, she is compiling a Bucket List. It includes skydiving, hang gliding, getting a pilot's license. And one more thing: "I'm still going to sail around the world one day."

I've never enjoyed landing at the San Francisco airport. As seen from passenger windows, the plane seems to fly just a few feet above the water and then the runway suddenly appears. It's even less fun at night in the fog or rain. And yet the last fatality at that airport was 49 years ago... so flying must be pretty safe.

Landing at San Francisco isn't as dangerous as landing at San Diego. There
are hundreds of flights that land and take-off every day at every in the
country. Flying a plane is routine, rocket science, because of the thousands of
daily flights that have no issues. When you realize if you have a good vs
average pilot is when there is wind shear, cross winds that gust back and forth,
SFO has taken off-line some landing aids, which is troublesome to be sure. If there is a problem, I'd much rather roll off the end than come up short. By going off the end at least you are on the runway slowing down whereas coming up short you never get to it before hitting the ground. I can tell you as I look out the window and see the ground zooming up towards me I am always grateful when we cross the arrows and the numbers on the end of the runway so I know we are over it. With as long as runways are, why do they try and land in the first couple hundred feet? That just doesn't make sense to me.
