SPORTS BRIEFING
SOFTBALL
Ducks continue hot start to season — Haley Cruse con-
tinued her hot start and Jordan Dail was nearly unhittable as
No. 10 Oregon earned its third straight run-rule shutout to
open the season. Cruse hit a pair of two-run doubles, the sec-
ond in walk-off fashion, had four RBIs and scored two runs,
while Dail gave up just three hits over five innings in an 8-0
win for the Ducks (3-0) over Weber State Saturday afternoon
at Grand Canyon in Phoenix, Arizona. Allee Bunker hit a two-
out single to score Cruse in the first. Oregon (3-0) mounted a
two-out rally in the second, with six straight batters reaching
base in a three-run frame. Mya Felder hit a solo home run,
UO’s first of the season, to make it 5-0 after three. The Ducks
loaded the bases with one out in the fifth and cashed in with
three runs to ice the game. Dail scattered three hits and a walk
and needed just 59 pitches over five innings in her first start of
the season. Oregon faced host GCU at 6 p.m. Pacific.
GOLF
Spieth carries Pebble Beach lead into final round —
One swing put Jordan Spieth closer than ever to ending a long
and mystifying slump, and served as a reminder that he still
has a long road ahead at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Two
shots behind with three holes to play Saturday, Spieth holed out
with an 8-iron from 160 yards for eagle on the 16th hole, the
start of a stunning turnaround that sent him to a 1-under 71
and a two-shot lead going into the final round. Daniel Berger
helped out by going from a share of the lead to two shots be-
hind when his tee shot on the par-5 18th was out-of-bounds by
mere inches and led to a double bogey. The timing was ideal
for Spieth, who has been without a victory in his last 79 events
since he won the 2017 British Open at Royal Birkdale. Spieth
was at 13-under 203 with plenty of contenders right behind.

“This is something that no
one’s ever done before,” Ham-
lin said. “Other guys have won
championships, obviously. I
would want to do something
no one else has done.”
Hamlin is the 8-1 betting
favorite but the Daytona 500
can be a crapshoot, particu-
larly in NASCAR’s condensed
new schedule forced by the
pandemic. Speedweeks at Day-
tona International Speedway
for decades spanned nearly two
weeks but this year was cut to
just six days.
With only three practice ses-
sions and the 150-mile Duel
qualifying races, there is no
clear indication who has cars
capable of winning the Day-
tona 500.
Hendrick Motorsports swept
the front row in qualifying with
Alex Bowman and William By-
ron, but Byron crashed in the
qualifying race and will fall to
the back in a backup car at the
start of the 500. Bowman had
an engine problem that will
cost him the pole if the motor
needs to be replaced.
Chase Elliott is the reigning
series champion but hasn’t had
enough time to show if he’s a
contender for his first Daytona
500 victory. It’s also unclear
how Kyle Larson, new to the
Hendrick stable this season af-
ter last year’s NASCAR suspen-
sion for using a racial slur, is
adapting to his new team.
Austin Dillon won the sec-
ond duel, setting him up for a
possible second Daytona 500
victory on the 20th anniversary
of Dale Earnhardt’s death. Dil-
lon drives Earnhardt’s famed
No. 3 on grandfather Richard
Childress’ team.
“It would be amazing and
huge for the company, RCR
and all the 3 fans out there,”
Dillon said.

to win his qualifying race in a
dramatic finish that showed
Wallace might finally have the
equipment he needs to be com-
petitive. Wallace is the only
Black racer at NASCAR’s top
level and gained a national plat-
form last season for his outspo-
kenness on social justice issues.
He landed multiple spon-
sors through his activism and
Wallace brought that funding
to Michael Jordan and Ham-
lin for the launch of 23XI Rac-
ing. Jordan and Wallace are
the only Black majority owner
and driver combination in the
sport, and this team has the
sponsorship and support that
could finally give Wallace a
chance at his first Cup Series
victory.
Wallace expects Jordan to
demand results.
“He wants winning race cars,
he wants a winning race driver
and he took an opportunity to
invest in me and he has seen
something that sparked his in-
terest,” Wallace said. “We’re just
going to go out and do what I
know how to do, not change
up anything, not try too hard
because of MJ or because of
Denny or because of the oppor-
tunity.”
Pitbull is another celebrity
new to NASCAR team own-
ership. The entertainer signed
on with Justin Marks to field
Trackhouse Racing this year
for Daniel Suarez, the only
full-time Mexican driver in
NASCAR.
Pitbull views his newest en-
deavor as an opportunity to
promote multiple initiatives, in-
cluding his message of unity.
“If there’s anything we need
in these times right now it is
something that unites people,
not divides people,” Pitbull said.
“It’s about utilizing the culture,
creating the culture through
NASCAR to bring people to-
gether.”
Live Fast Racing, the third
new team and one co-owned
by former driver Matt Tifft and
B.J. McLeod, will make its de-
but in the 500 with McLeod as
the driver. Derrike Cope, the
1990 Daytona 500 winner, is
back for what he says will be
his final race and even at 62 —
the oldest driver in the field —
Cope believes he’s got a shot.
The race will have a notice-
ably empty feeling because pan-
demic restrictions have limited
attendance to roughly 30,000
spectators in the grandstands.
Daytona was at capacity with
101,000 in the grandstands

Hamlin, now 40 and begin-
ning his 16th season with Joe
Gibbs Racing, has made signif-
icant strides to leave his mark
on NASCAR. His 44 career vic-
tories tie him with Bill Elliott,
the Hall of Fame driver and
Hamlin’s childhood idol, and
those statement victories have
qualified him as one of the best
of his generation.
Hamlin has also grown off
the track. He became a leader
in improving communications
between drivers and NASCAR,
then helped organize the iRac-
ing virtual series NASCAR
used to remain relevant at the
start of the pandemic.
He sought to solidify his fu-
ture in the sport by moving
into team ownership, a wind-
ing road full of obstacles that
could have prevented Hamlin
from earning a seat at the same
table with Roger Penske, Rick
Hendrick, Jack Roush, Gibbs,
Childress and others. He pulled
it off and spent the offseason
building a race team.
When Wallace got that No.
23 on the track at Daytona,
Hamlin shed tears.
“I know how much hard
work it took to get to this
point,” he said. “Seeing them
push the car down the grid, ev-
eryone in uniform, car’s look-
ing great, everything looks
first class — that to me is just a
huge, proud moment.”
Hamlin last November came
up short in the winner-take-
all season finale for the fourth
time in his career — but has
nothing to prove to anyone.
“Anybody sitting on the
precipice of three consecutive
Daytona 500 wins, that’s akin
to what Tom Brady seems to
do,” said David Wilson, Presi-
dent of Toyota Racing Devel-
opment. “It’s a bigger story than
just Denny. It’s a sporting story,
and for NASCAR, for Toyota, it
would be huge.”
