LONG POND, Pa. Patrick Mahomes Super Bowl Jersey . -- Denny Hamlin won the pole the first time he ever raced at Pocono Raceway. Eight years later, Hamlin still had the speed in the No. 11 Toyota to take the top spot at the triangle track. Hamlin turned a track record-lap of 181.415 mph Friday to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup pole, a throwback to the times he dominated qualifying at one of his best tracks. Hamlin is a four-time winner at Pocono, matching his Martinsville mark for most career wins at a track. He swept two Pocono races on its former rugged surface from the pole in 2006. He also won races on the 2 1/2-mile track in 2009 and 2010. "I hope this track has aged a little bit," he said, "because when it was old and worn out was when I was really good at the track." With blistering speeds, Hamlin zipped his way to his second track record and pole of the season after topping the field at Bristol. Hamlin has 19 poles in 304 career Cup starts. Hamlin hasnt had much success with Joe Gibbs Racing at Pocono since 2010, finishing in the top 10 onlt twice and crashing out twice -- including a 43rd-place run last August. "We havent been that strong here since the repave," he said. "Its just a handful of things that make you off here and there. These tracks are almost like superspeedways now in the sense that youve got to have the fastest car in the right position to win them. Back when I was winning in 06 on the old track, you could make up tons of position. That would never happen today because the cars are running so fast and so equal." Kurt Busch starts second for a needed lift for his Stewart-Haas Racing team. Busch has otherwise struggled outside of the one win that all but locked him into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. "We came here with a new approach to try to get our front ends to settle into the track a little better," Busch said. "I was really surprised that we had the speed for the pole today in our first attempt to try something a little different. Its great to cash in." Brad Keselowski, Kevin Harvick and Jeff Gordon completed the top five. Coming off wins in the Coca-Cola 600 and at Dover, Jimmie Johnson will start 20th in his bid for a third straight victory. "I just got too greedy down in two and lost the nose in the corner exit," Johnson said. "I feel bad for my guys, but this ones on me." Keselowski continued his run of qualifying success. Last weeks pole winner at Dover, Keselowski has started third or better in the No. 2 Ford a whopping 10 times in 13 races this season. "Im not sure why, but Im not going to complain about it either," he said. "It does seem qualifying day has been the highlight of our week, for sure."

Chris Heisey connected for his first grand slam and Devin Mesoraco homered and drove in a career high-tying four runs as Cincinnati took advantage of Tampa Bays depleted pitching staff for a 12-4 victory on Sunday.GENEVA - The judge and prosecutor behind FIFAs World Cup bid corruption investigation will meet Thursday in an effort to repair their relations and restore the reputation of a case seemingly in disarray.The whereabouts of the meeting between FIFA ethics judge Joachim Eckert and prosecutor Michael Garcia is a secret — as are, against the American lawyers wishes, his investigation findings.Eckert sought face-to-face talks after Garcia appealed to FIFA against the German judges decision last Thursday to close the probe of the 2018 and 2022 bidding contests won by Russia and Qatar. The nine-candidate campaigns were dogged by allegations of bribery, favour-seeking and rule-breaking voting pacts.Garcia claimed there were numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations of his work in Eckerts 42-page summary judgment.FIFA complicated matters Tuesday by sending Garcias report to Switzerlands attorney general in a criminal complaint against unnamed individuals implicated in the case.The Swiss federal prosecutors office said Wednesday it needed at least several days to study 430 pages of reports written by Garcia and his Swiss deputy, Cornel Borbely, before taking any decision on jurisdiction.FIFA President Sepp Blatter said Tuesday he filed the complaint at Eckerts request — though FIFA-released interviews with the two men were vague on when the advice was given amid fast-changing events.It is also unclear what impact federal involvement could have on the Eckert-Garcia talks.Strict Swiss privacy rules in criminal cases could give further protection against identification for current and former FIFA executive committee members targeted by Garcia.Garcia is still building cases against FIFA voters, staffers and advisers connected to the 11 candidate countries who took part in the December 2010 elections.The need for ongoing co-operation betweenn Garcia and Eckert in those pending cases adds pressure on them to resolve their issues quickly. Dustin Colquitt Super Bowl Jersey. penly publishing which people have been charged by FIFAs ethics committee, and giving details of their alleged offences, has been cited by Garcia since September as key to building trust and credibility in the legal process.Garcias push for public scrutiny is supported by the anti-corruption expert who helped FIFA appoint the ethics leaders in July 2012 to clean up the governing bodys scandal-racked reputation.We simply have to have Garcias text, Swiss law professor Mark Pieth told The Associated Press in a recent interview. We dont have the underlying material and that is the problem. We cant really judge if Eckert is correct or not.Garcia has not spoken publicly this past week, and would risk being suspended by FIFA if he reveals details of cases.Eckerts decision did not identify any current FIFA board members, and only three who have since left FIFA and crossed Blatter on their way out, including Mohamed bin Hammam of Qatar.Eckert also acknowledged problematic acts among the nine bids, but said it did not justify reviewing the victories of Russia and Qatar. Both winners have always denied any wrongdoing.Of course, I had hoped for more, Pieth told the AP. I think this report seems to be all over the place rather than focusing on the issue -- Have these hosting issues been tampered with?However, Pieth declined to criticize Eckert personally.I know he is not somebody you could pressurize politically, Pieth said, stressing that the veteran judge was a strong character. But the problem is we created someone who is independent. And if I dont like the outcome, sorry, the guy is independent and you have to accept what he is doing.Besides appealing to FIFA, Garcia could also take his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
