RICHMOND, Va. -- It was yet another Denny Hamlin runaway for Joe Gibbs Racing on Saturday night in what turned out to be an anticlimactic end to NASCARs regular season.The fireworks came off the track at Richmond International Raceway, where Ryan Newman angrily chided former boss Tony Stewart after an accident between the two officially ended Newmans chances to make the playoffs.The verbal beat down from Newman came with 37 laps left, before Hamlin finished off his third career Sprint Cup win at his home track while giving JGR its third consecutive victory at the track and ninth in the last 15 races.Newman called Stewart bipolar, said the retiring race car driver had anger issues, and all but outright referenced the 2014 incident in which Stewart fatally struck a sprint car driver.I guess he thought he was in a sprint car again and didnt know how to control his anger, Newman said after the two made contact three times before finally wrecking. Dylan Lupton couldnt avoid the accident and his car ended up wedged between the wall and on top of Newmans car when the crashing finally ceased.The wreckage caused a stoppage of just over 20 minutes and sent Newmans temperature soaring. Newmans team was penalized 15 points this week by NASCAR for failing post-race inspection at Darlington, and the punishment made his task of trying to race his way into the Chase extremely difficult.But few expected him to be so harsh toward Stewart, who employed Newman for five years until Newman was let go from Stewart-Haas Racing at the end of the 2013 season.Just disappointing that you have somebody old like that that should be retired the way he drives. Its just ridiculous, Newman said. I dont think there was any reason other than him just being bipolar and having anger issues. Google Tony Stewart, youll see all kinds of things hes done. Look it up on YouTube, everything else. Quite the guy.Stewart is retiring at the end of the season and already had his spot in the Chase secure headed into Richmond.There were three spots available in the Chase at the start of the night, but Newman was going to need a near-miracle.He didnt get it, and the remaining playoff positions in the 16-driver field went to rookie Chase Elliott, Austin Dillon and Jamie McMurray. Chris Buescher also made the Chase by virtue of his win at a rain-shortened race and by maintaining a spot in the top 30 in points.The rest of the Chase field is made up of the other 12 race winners this season.JIMMIES LONG NIGHT: Six-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson didnt appear to be Chase ready in the final tuneup. He had a tire go down, hit the wall, and his crew had an uncontrolled tire on pit road during Johnsons 11th-place finish. Although he has two wins this year, hes at career lows in nearly every category, including laps led.BUSTED BLANEY: It was a short night for Ryan Blaney, who guessed stubbornness was to blame for an accident just 11 laps into the race. Blaney made contact with Trevor Bayne that caused a flat tire and sent Blaney into the wall. He was baffled because he thought he was clear of Bayne, but figured Bayne thought otherwise and neither driver would yield.I should know better than that, Blaney said. We didnt even give ourselves a shot at it, that is something I will have regret about.UP NEXT: The opening race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship on Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway. The field starts with 16 drivers, which will be whittled down over nine rounds to create a final four to race for the title Nov. 20 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.Paul George Shoes Buy .

Owners that want out. Only 13 fit senior players. Not a penny spent in the offseason. One of their best players sold to a lower-league club on the eve of the season.With two wins from two games, including one over reigning champion Leicester, the side from the northeast of England is confounding the grim preseason predictions and is mixing with Premier League royalty atop the fledgling standings.Hull sits alongside Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea on a maximum six points so far. One of them -- United -- visits the KCOM Stadium on Saturday.Im not sure we could have imagined or hoped for the start weve had, Hull midfielder Shaun Maloney said. But when the games come along, all the stuff off the field gets pushed to the back of your mind.The build-up to the season couldnt have been more different for United and Hull.At United, Jose Mourinho arrived as coach, around $200 million was spent on a quartet of signings that includes world-record transfer Paul Pogba and star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, while the teams best players were retained despite its failure to qualify for the Champions League.Over at Hull, Steve Bruce resigned as manager three weeks before the season started, reportedly unhappy at not being able to sign players while the clubs owners -- the Allam family -- look to sell up. Long-term injuries have robbed them of Michael Dawson, Moses Odubajo and Allan McGregor, while Mohamed Diame -- the player whose winning goal in the League Championship playoff secured Hulls return to the Premier League -- was sold to Newcastle in early August.Meanwhile, Hull fans disillusioned with the owners continue to protest against the way the club is being run, and will likely do so again on Saturday.No communication, no manager, no engagement, no signings, no identity, no concessions, no honesty, the Hull City Supporters Trust said in a statement.Its against this backdrop that caretaker manager Mike Phelan is working, but the former Manchester United assistant coach has come up with a winning formula.Hard work, good preparation and making the most of limited goalscoring chances are reasons behind Hulls flying start -- a 2-1 win over Leicesteer followed by a 2-0 victory at Swansea.dddddddddddd Midfielder David Meyler gave an insight into Phelans methods after the Swansea game on Saturday.We could tell you everything about them -- how long they sleep, how many times they go to the toilet every day, Meyler said. Thats just the type of person he is. Hes a winner and hes trying to embed that into us.Meyler wants Phelan to be hired as full-time manager and that possibility could materialize now that Hulls No. 1 target, Wales coach Chris Coleman, has pledged his future to the national team. Phelan has spent almost all his coaching career as a No. 2, most significantly to Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.When youre Sir Alexs assistant for long enough, I presume you go through everything, Meyler said, and hes not taking any short-cuts now.Phelan said he is enjoying the moment and that the next step in his career is to become a manager. Beat United this weekend, and the job is surely his.Here are some things to watch out for in the third round of games:---IBRAS TARGETZlatan Ibrahimovic is already setting about making history at Manchester United.The Swedish striker scored the winner in the Community Shield and has also found the net in Uniteds opening league wins, against Bournemouth and Southampton. Against Hull, he is looking to become only the second player to score in each of his first four games for United, after Jimmy Hanson in 1924-25.Ibrahimovic is one of nine players to score in their first three United games.---STAYING PERFECTLooking for a third straight league win under new coach Pep Guardiola, Manchester City hosts West Ham on Sunday and could have a new goalkeeper between the posts.Chile international Claudio Bravo arrived in Manchester on Tuesday to conclude his move from Barcelona, and could get his debut if the transfer is tied up in time.Chelsea hosts Burnley on Saturday, while the standout fixture this weekend is Tottenham vs. Liverpool at White Hart Lane on Saturday.---NO POINTSThree teams are yet to get off the mark in the Premier League this season, and two of them play each other on Saturday when Bournemouth travels to Crystal Palace.Sunderland is the other side to open with back-to-back losses and visits Southampton.
