Wolfe moved up to FitzBradshaw's Nationwide team

Wolfe became a crew chief for the first time at FitzBradshaw in 2006 with driver Ruben Pardo in the K & N Series East. Pardo won on the road course at Lime Rock.

Wolfe moved up to FitzBradshaw's Nationwide team in '07 and also worked at Braun and CJM before Penske hired him in '10. Mike Bliss finished second at Memphis for the Wolfe-led FitzBradshaw team in '07 and Josh Wise had five top-10s in 17 starts in '08.

"I guess I'm fortunate," Wolfe said. "Penske called me. They had seen I'd done a great job and the best job I could with what I had. I was working with really small teams, not real big budgets and we really had to work hard with what I had. I never won races (in Nationwide), but what we were able to do with what we had was like winning races.

Watson and Simpson started as hot as the temperature

Watson and Simpson started as hot as the temperature, which climbed to 98 degrees. They both birdied the first hole before Watson, the 2010 Travelers champion, walloped his tee shot 330 yards at the 341-yard second, a par-4 that turns slightly right and climbs to a green with deep bunkers at its slopes.

Watson's shot found a shady spot near a tree to the right of the green. His bump-and-run chip from 57 feet hit the flagstick for a kick-in birdie. At the 10th hole, Watson did not let the pin get in his way, holing his sand wedge from 137 yards in the left rough for an eagle. From there, he skated along with a string of pars and a bogey at the par-3 16th hole to match Simpson's 66. 

The Americans’ aggressive play paid dividends in the eighth minute

"There were enough chances to score more goals, but you have to be clinical enough to put them in," Klinsmann said. "I mentioned it at halftime. I said, 'Guys, you've got to shoot more often.' "

The Americans' aggressive play paid dividends in the eighth minute when Hérculez Gomez headed a Landon Donovan corner kick toward the goal. James parried the ball away, but the rebound fell to the American captain Carlos Bocanegra, who trundled the rebound into the net. It was Bocanegra's 13th goal for the national team, tying him with Marcelo Balboa for the most by a defender.

Antigua and Barbuda were on their heels, but a half-hour into the game they were still only one goal behind — a dream situation for the tiny Caribbean nation. 

Game 3 at Verizon Center featured more goals

After two games in this Eastern Conference quarterfinal series left both the Washington Capitals and Boston Bruins wondering where their offense went, each rediscovered the ignition to their scoring touch Monday night.

Game 3 at Verizon Center featured more goals than the previous pair of contests combined, but as the series started to loosen up offensively, it was the Capitals who wound up on the losing end. Boston captured a 4-3 win — and a 2-1 series lead — thanks to Zdeno Chara's goal with 1 minute 53 seconds remaining in regulation. 

The Bulls made a final run, getting the Rockets' now

The Rockets bench may have given the Bulls their mojo in the first half, but they were not about to provide that advantage again when they emerged in the second half. Chase Budinger and Earl Boykins combined for 14 fourth-quarter points, knocking down all four of Houston's three-point shots for the game and joining Patrick Patterson in scoring 25 of the reserves' 29 points for the game down the stretch.

The Bulls made a final run, getting the Rockets' now double-digit lead down to four when Courtney Lee, who had struggled throughout the game with his shooting (4-14, 13 points), knocked down a jumper to extended the lead back out to six with less than a minute left. The Rockets defense would then provide no opportunity for Kyle Korver (3-9, eight points) or Luol Deng (9-14, game-high 24 points) to three-point the Bulls back into the game as the Rockets closed out the road win.

No. 54 car for every race gives you that sense of brotherly love

"Everything's new to us, so we have to concentrate on these first five races and try to go test with Kurt during the break (after March 24) and kind of see the similarities or the differences," KBM crew chief Mike Beam said. "Then we'll have to make changes. So it's definitely going to be a challenge."
The brothers will split driving duties after the first five races.
"Just to have a Busch in that No. 54 car for every race gives you that sense of brotherly love, whereas we've been competitors our whole lives," Kurt said. "So this is a great chapter for us to start."

Accenture champion Geoff Ogilvy in the first round today

On Tuesday, the sociable and fan-friendly Bradley, 25, shaken by the critical outburst, apologized again at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship, where he meets two-time Accenture champion Geoff Ogilvy in the first round today.

"I was very surprised to see the replay of the telecast to see how much I was spitting," he said. "To be honest with you, I really had no idea I was doing it. And I feel bad. I just ask everybody to just kind of bear with me as I go through this, because it's something I've done without even knowing it. But I will do my best to stop. It's something that I'm glad has come up, because I'm able to kind of nip it now."
