LAS VEGAS -- Matt Hagan topped Funny Car qualifying Friday in the NHRA Toyota Nationals, breaking the track time record with a 3.872-second pass at 329.18 mph in a Dodge Charger.I think today was pretty cool because we had cloud cover, Hagan said.

All in all we had a good day and tomorrow is another day, so we come back out tomorrow and fight hard again and just try to scoop up as much points as we can.Leah Pritchett led in Top Fuel, Drew Skillman in Pro Stock, and Jerry Savoie in Pro Stock Motorcycle in the fifth event in the six-race NHRA Mello Yello Countdown to the Championship.Pritchett had a 3.705 pass at 326.63 to break the track time mark, Skillman ran a 6.681 at 204.94 in a Chevrolet Camaro, and Savoie had a 6.904 at 192.66 on a Suzuki.

Vans Old Skool Wholesale .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury. Joe Launchbury has been ruled out of the remaining two matches of Englands autumn series after being found guilty of kicking Fijis Asaeli Tikoirotuma.Launchbury will miss the clashes with Argentina and Australia after his boot connected with the head of the Fijian outside centre in the 42nd minute of a record 58-15 victory at Twickenham.The act was deemed reckless rather than deliberate and the low end sanction for the offence of a four-week ban was reduced to two weeks due to Launchburys admission of guilt, his previous clean disciplinary record and good conduct at the hearing.Launchbury appeared before a three-man independent disciplinary committee in London and accepted he had committed an act of foul play that would have warranted a red card.The Wasps captain is free to play from December 5, two days after Australia conclude the autumn program at Twickenham, but has the right to appeal.While Launchbury can have few complaints with the sanction -- the kick left Tikoirotuma in significant discomfort -- his absence is a major personal blow given his strong form against South Africa and Fiji.The injury-enforced absence of Maro Itoje and George Kruis offered Launchbury the chance to revise Eddie Jones second row hierarchy by resurrecting his lock partnership with Courtney Lawes.His work-rate and impact on the opening two matches of the Old Mutual Wealth Series had served to illustrate Englands extraordinary depth in the second row, but he must now resign himself to the role of spectator.It is a less of a blow to his country, however, as fortuitous timing has seen Kruis make a rapid recovery from ankle surgerry and he is available to start Saturdays showdown with the Pumas.ddddddddddddAdding to the number of options in the position is Dave Attwood, who has overcome the knee problem that forced him to miss the rout of Fiji and the Bath forward is in contention for selection.Kruis is set to start against Argentina alongside Lawes and would resume calling the line-out.George has worked really hard on his rehab and hes done really well to get back so quickly, forwards coach Steve Borthwick said.Hes been around in the later stages of his rehab and its testament to his character that hes been able to get back from his injury so quickly. Hes in contention for Argentina.Jones is scheduled to name his team on Thursday morning and with the composition of his second row decided by Launchburys suspension and Kruis return, his focus up front will turn to openside where Teimana Harrison is likely to make way for Tom Wood.England are expected to revert to their first choice starting XV against Argentina, who finished bottom of last summers Rugby Championship, with Mike Brown returning at full-back.The wings are fiercely contested, however, with Jonny May, Semesa Rokoduguni, Marland Yarde and Elliot Daly competing for the two slots available.Meanwhile, Borthwick admits it would be an honour and privilege to act as forwards coach on the British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand next summer.Head coach Warren Gatland has already held talks with Borthwick, but his appointment has yet to be finalised.
