If you're wondering how quickly it's going to take Tony Stewart to find Joey Logano in Sunday's STP Gas Booster 500 at Martinsville, the answer is it may take a little while.

Jimmie Johnson won the pole for Sunday's race – not a surprise considering he's an absolute master on the half-mile paper clip – but when the green flag drops all eyes will immediately dart to Logano's 22 and Stewart's 14. Remember, when last we left the track Stewart was promising to "bust [Logano's] ass" after the Auto Club 400 in Southern California. Logano will start fourth Sunday, 22 spots ahead of Stewart.

(Getty ImagesFriday, when asked if he still plans on teaching Logano a lesson, Stewart responded, "That is two weeks ago. I'm on Martinsville this weekend. We are trying to figure out what we have to do to make our race cars go fast this week."

Stewart actually doesn't have the luxury to focus on grudges right now. Five races into the season and he sits 22nd in the standings, which means he has to be more

The fallout from a disturbing video of basketball practice at Rutgers University continued Friday as Tim Pernetti resigned as the school's athletic director.

Pernetti, who was integral in Rutgers' move to the Big 10, is out of a job some 24 hours after he fired Mike Rice, the head basketball coach who is the central figure of a video in which he shoves players, hurls basketballs at them and berates them with gay slurs.

Last November, Pernetti received a copy of the video and after an investigation decided in December to suspend Rice for three games, fined him $50,000 and ordered him to attend anger management classes.

"Accountability is a vital element of the Rutgers athletics family," Pernetti said at the time, "and it is imperative our head coaches act and lead in a responsible manner."

Tim Pernetti (Getty Images) The pressure for more of a reaction boiled over Tuesday when ESPN's 'Outside the Lines' aired portions of the 30-minute video. In it, Rice can be seen throwing basketballs at a player's head,

LOS ANGELES – Of all the people who bet on Wichita State to reach the 2013 Final Four, no one's gamble paid off bigger Saturday night than Malcolm Armstead's.

Here is a kid who two years ago left a full-ride scholarship at Oregon for a part-time job at a car dealership in Cheney, Kan., all with a hope that he'd play point guard for the Shockers this season. There were no scholarships available at Wichita State, so he took out student loans, put himself in debt all because he thought Gregg Marshall's program provided the best environment for him to play basketball.

To reset that, he thought paying his way at Wichita State, a Missouri Valley Conference member, was a better place for him to play than a full ride at the University of Oregon, a Pac-12 member and Phil Knight's personal philanthropy.

Friday night, Oregon got bounced from the NCAA tournament by Louisville. Less than 24 hours later, Armstead, the Ducks' former point guard, helped Wichita State – the

So Saturday, locked in a tie game against the Dallas Mavericks, the Bulls' Carlos Boozer dropped in a twisting lay up, got fouled, then did this:

Amazingly, Danny Crawford was OK. In fact, he walked away laughing about it and had the good sense to understand that Boozer was caught up in the emotion of the moment.

Good on ya, Danny, and Booze, we're docking you a point for a low blow.

LOS ANGELES – Sitting in the bowels of Staples Center, just a few minutes removed from a 16-point, eight-rebound, three-block performance, Carl Hall talked about making light bulbs.

"I worked in what they called the paint booth – I painted the lights," the Shockers' forward explained after helping ninth-seeded Wichita State beat LaSalle 72-58 to move within a game of reaching the Final Four. "I worked the graveyard shift, from 11 at night to 7 in the morning."

Shockers forward Carl Hall shoots over La Salle Explorers forward Jerrell Wright on Thursday night. (USA TODAY Sports)He made 12 bucks an hour – which was a lot, he said, for an 18-year-old living at home with his mother. When he'd get home from work he'd go straight to school, head home for a quick na, then back to the factory.

Working in the factory wasn't part of his plan. Playing basketball was, but while playing one day in high school, he fainted. Dehydration, the doctors told him. Then he fainted again six months later. And then again. And that's when he found out he suffered from neurocardiogenic syncope, a condition that means the

Twitter wars, aren't they great? Grown men (it's usually men) throwing down in 140 characters or less. The Greatest Generation would be so proud.

Anyway, the latest mano y mano smart phone smackdown pits the thumbs of Donald Trump vs. Mark Cuban's. The two have been going at it for months now, with their beef bubbling up back in November when Cuban offered Trump $1 million to shave his head, a response to Trump's $5 million challenge to President Obama to produce his birth certificate.

[ NBA Power Rankings: Epic run keeps Heat No. 1]

Fast forward to last Wednesday night's "Tonight Show" when Cuban produced a letter he received from Trump way back in 2004 P.T. (that's pre-Twitter). Cuban's reality show "The Benefactor" – an obvious spinoff of Trump's "The Apprentice" – had just been cancelled. Trump wrote to Cuban, "When I initially called you to congratulate you on The Benefactor – little did you or I realize how disastrous and embarrassing it would turn out to be for you. If you ever

Kyle Busch (Getty Images)

Remember when Brad Keselowski called Kyle Busch an "ass" during driver introductions at Bristol?

That was in 2010, which, in Keselowski years, is a lifetime ago. It was his first full season in the Sprint Cup Series, when he'd won just one race – the fluke at Talladega – and was known more for his mouth and rough driving style than anything resembling a budding champion.

At the time, Busch was everyone's pick to be NASCAR's next big thing. It wasn't a matter of if but when he'd win his first of many Cup championships. Keselowski, meanwhile, had earned himself a spot on quite a few driver's s-lists. He was on Busch's, of course, Carl Edwards' and Denny Hamlin's, just to name a few.

But in the three years since, Keselowski's career has been on a rocket ride to the top while Busch's has flattened out. It's as if they've traded places: Keselowski with his hauler parked in the champion's spot every weekend, Busch's parked somewhere down the line, usually about 12th to 15th.

Nowhere has

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Neither NASCAR nor Daytona International Speedway has a lot of answers following the horrific crash at the conclusion of Saturday's Nationwide Series race that sent shards of metal and two tires flying into the stands injuring at least 28 fans.

The prevailing sentiment offered from NASCAR's vice president of operations Steve O'Donnell and track president Joie Chitwood was they don't have a lot of answers, they're going to look into the situation and they'll do whatever they can to create an even safer environment in the future.

Rescue workers respond next to a hole in the catchfence. (REUTERS)Track officials worked into the early morning Sunday to repair the hole ripped in the catchfence following the 12-car accident on the final lap of the Race4COPD 300. Work was completed at 2 a.m. ET. Chitwood and O'Donnell met at 8 a.m. Sunday morning to review the repairs, are confident they are satisfactory and the 55th running of the Daytona 500 will start on time, at 1:30 p.m.
