RICHMOND, Va. -- NASCAR will have a new champion. For now, it has yet another conspiracy. Reigning champion Brad Keselowski failed to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship Saturday night when an ill-timed caution ruined his run at Richmond International Raceway. Same thing happened to Ryan Newman, who used a pass on eventual winner Carl Edwards with 10 laps to go to take the lead for what should have been enough to get in the Chase. Then Clint Bowyer spun three laps later to bring out a caution that ruined Newmans race. The benefactor? Martin Truex Jr., Bowyers teammate at Michael Waltrip Racing, who struggled the entire race. Newman and Truex were locked into a race for the second of two wild cards in the 12-driver Chase field, and the race win would give it to Newman. Only he lost the lead on pit road, wound up finishing third, and Truex grabbed the final spot in the Chase. Conspiracy theorists immediately accused Bowyer of spinning on purpose to help his teammate, and a tweet from Bowyer friend Blake Shelton didnt help his cause: "Yall should follow (at)ClintBowyer!!! The definition of team player!!!" the country music star posted on Twitter. A despondent Newman wasnt sure if Bowyers spin was legitimate. "They are teammates. I dont know if he looked at the scoring pylon, knew I was leading, it doesnt matter," Newman said. "If that was the case, Ill find out one way or the other. At the same time we still had the opportunity to make our own destiny and win it on pit road, and we didnt. That being said, were out." Truex, who broke his right wrist two weeks ago in a crash at Bristol and has been racing with a cast, said he had no idea who even caused the caution. "I didnt even know it happened until after the race," Truex said. "I raced my (butt) off all night long. Thats all I can do. I tell my crew chief what my car is doing, what I need to go faster. That was enough to worry about. I dont have to worry about any other people out on the racetrack. I didnt even know that (Bowyer) brought out the caution until after the race." Bowyer, who led 72 laps earlier in the race, denied any wrongdoing and said he simply lost the handling on his car. He said it was no different than Jimmie Johnson, who hit the wall earlier in the race to bring out the caution that jumbled the field and ultimately ruined Keselowskis Chase bid. "I think we had something going wrong. We went from a car capable of winning the race, leading, to ... just went straight backwards," Bowyer said. "My car was tight as hell, (Johnson) blew a tire and hit the wall. Im telling you, I was the next one. I know its a lot of fun for you guys to write a lot of whacky things. Go ahead if you want to, get creative. But dont look too much into it." Dale Earnhardt Jr., who was right behind Bowyer when he spun, wasnt so sure. "He just spun right out. Thats the craziest thing I ever saw," Earnhardt said. "He just came around." The winner wasnt even immune from controversy, with many believing Edwards jumped the final restart to get past Paul Menard. But Edwards said Menard spun his tires, and if he waited for Menard to get moving, both drivers would have been run over by the field behind them. Kasey Kahne claimed the first wild-card berth, and Joey Logano, Keselowskis teammate at Penske Racing, qualified for the Chase for the first time in his career, by rounding out the top 10 in points. Logano edged four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon for the final spot in the field. Kurt Busch finished second to make Furniture Row Racing the first single-car organization to make the Chase. Busch had been plagued by a slow pit crew all year and it bit him on the first caution of the race when he led the field down pit road as the leader. But the Furniture Row crew was almost a second slower than all the other contenders, and Busch lost five spots, restarting in sixth. He scolded over the team radio Furniture Row general manager Joe Garone, who to The Associated Press before the race the pit crew was under tremendous pressure Saturday night. It had been the weakest spot of the team all season, and Busch might have as many as three races had the crew performed at a higher level. "Its a new group, they started at the beginning of the year and the time that it takes for a crew to come together and gel and be running with the top five cars in the series, you dont get there in eight months," Garone said before the race. "The performance of the car has jumped ahead of the guys. Its not that they are bad, or we have bad stops. The two learning curves dont go together, and we are a little behind. If we can have good, clean, solid stops tonight, well leave the rest up to the calls on the pit box and Kurt behind the wheel." The pit crew rebounded as the night went on and Busch, fired two years ago from Penske Racing, was celebrating his return to elite company. "Well, how about them apples? Unbelievable," Busch said. "The way this team has grown, what weve been able to accomplish, its an amazing feeling. We achieved something very special tonight." Keselowski, who led a race-high 142 laps, at one point seemed to have the race in control even though a victory wasnt necessarily going to be enough to get him into the Chase. He had just pitted under green when Johnson hit the wall to bring out a caution that pinned Keselowski deep in the field, and he never recovered. He finished 17th, and at 16th in points and winless on the season, he wont be eligible to race for the Sprint Cup title. "I dont really have any emotions right now. We werent good enough to make it and we didnt. That is the reality," he said. "We have work to do. At the end of the day, the thing about points is it is the best measuring stick in sports. You know who deserves to be where because the results speak for themselves. We didnt have enough results to get where we needed to be." Performance also hurt Newman, who was more critical of his Stewart-Haas Racing pit crew than he was of Bowyers caution. Newman isnt being brought back to SHR next season, and the team was too slow on pit road for the final stop and that cost him both the win and his spot in the Chase. "We should have been able to come on pit road first and come off first," he said. "If were a championship contending team, we need a championship contending pit crew, and we didnt have that tonight." And that final caution ruined Gordons Chase chances, too. Eighth before the yellow flag and ahead of Logano in the standings, Newman losing the race flipped everything and Gordon wound up on the outside looking in even though he still finished eighth. "We were getting it done until that caution came out," Gordon said. "We still could have made it in. That restart just didnt got the way that we needed it to." Patriots Jerseys .

"Thats our goal.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Luke Hochevar was tired of getting knocked around by the Los Angeles Angels so he took a new approach. Hochevar took a shutout into the seventh inning and the Kansas City Royals got solo homers from Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas against Dan Haren in a 6-3 victory Saturday. "Thats a good ballclub, no doubt about it, and its not an easy lineup to navigate through," Hochevar said. "Theyre stacked from one to nine, so I knew that I had to execute a lot of quality pitches. That was my focus, especially with Haren on the mound. Early on, I think the results were better than my execution, and then I kind of hit a groove in the fourth and started making a lot of quality pitches in key situations." Hochevar (1-0) was charged with two runs and five hits over 6 1-3 innings in his season debut. The right-hander, who was the first overall pick in the 2006 draft by the Royals and their opening-day starter last year, came in 0-3 with a with an 8.02 ERA in his four previous starts against the Angels. Hochevar gave up a pair of one-out singles in the seventh and was relieved by Tim Collins with a 5-0 lead. Bobby Abreu lined the left-handers first pitch into the right field corner for an RBI double and Torii Hunter scored on a groundout by Vernon Wells. The Angels, who were shut out through the first five innings a major league-worst 50 times last season -- have done so in each of their first two games despite the addition of three-time NL MVP Albert Pujols. Friday night they won their opener 5-0 with a five-run eighth after getting blanked for six innings by Bruce Chen. "Were still in spring training mode and pitchers are way ahead of us, but I think well catch up soon. You cant panic right now with 160 games to go," Hunter said. "Today was one of those days. Hochevar kept us off-balance and we couldnt score any runs off him. He changed speeds, had his cutter working, and thats something we couldnt make adjustments on." Jonathan Broxton, who became the Royals closer after two-time All-Star Joakim Soria had season-ending Tommy John surgery April 3, followed Collins and Greg Holland out of the bullpen and got the final three outs after inheriting a 6-2 lead. He gave up a sacrifice fly by Abreu before retiring Wells on a game-ending double play. Broxton hasnt had a save since May 2, 2011, with the Dodgers -- he was shut down twwo days later because of bone spurs in his elbow and missed the rest of the season.ddddddddddddThe Royals signed him as a free agent in November. "It feels pretty good to get out there again. My elbow felt fine," said the two-time All-Star. "It was very frustrating last year, especially because I couldnt go out there and help the team win. I hated that the season ended up the way it did for me, but hopefully they got everything straight. Im fine right now, so well just continue to go forward." Pujols got his first hit with Los Angeles, a double in the fourth. He lined a 2-2 pitch over the head of left fielder Alex Gordon with one out in the fourth and tried to score on a single to left by Kendrys Morales. But Gordon, who won a Gold Glove last season, charged the ball and made a one-hop throw to the plate to get Pujols, whose hook slide appeared to have beaten Humberto Quinteros tag. Haren (0-1) gave up five runs and 11 hits over 5 1-3 innings and struck out five. Morales was 4 for 4 with a double in his second game with the Angels after a severe ankle injury in 2010, when he jumped on home plate after a walkoff grand slam. Jeff Francoeur, playing in his 1,000th regular-season game, hit a two-run single with the bases loaded in the first. It was the fourth straight hit allowed by Haren, who minimized the damage by striking out Betancourt and Moustakas. Quintero led off the Royals second with the first of his two doubles and scored on Lorenzo Cains sacrifice fly. "I didnt make too many quality pitches, and thats a recipe for disaster," Haren said. "I threw too many pitches up in the zone and wasnt really controlling the count too well. Obviously they got off to a quick start, getting four singles in a row, and I just never really got into a rhythm. ... But youve got to hand it to them. Theyve got a good ballclub and they did the most with the pitches I left out over the plate." NOTES: Pujols, who was 0 for 3 with a walk in his Angels debut, has never gone hitless in his first two games of the season. ... Francoeurs first big league game was on July 7, 2005, with Atlanta. ... It was the first time that Moustakas and Hosmer homered in the same game since making their big league debuts five weeks apart last season. ... pujols grounded into a double play his first time up, something he did a career-high 29 times last season -- including three on opening day.
